Why do you say the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag?

Usually it's a form of showing pride in your country (Nationalism). Others don't say it because a lot of schools in the US make their students stand up and say the pledge of allegiance every single school day in the morning before they start the actual announcements and they believe it denies their rights as an individual.


How did the battle of karbala start?

The Battle of Karbala began on October 10, 680 AD, as a conflict between the forces of Yazid ibn Muawiya, the Umayyad caliph, and the supporters of Husayn ibn Ali, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad. Husayn refused to pledge allegiance to Yazid, whom he viewed as an illegitimate ruler, leading to a standoff in the desert of Karbala. After being denied water and support, Husayn and his small band of followers faced overwhelming forces, resulting in a tragic and bloody confrontation. This battle became a pivotal event in Islamic history, symbolizing the struggle against tyranny.


Why do Americans pledge the Pledge of Allegiance?

Those who do say it do so because they believe you should express your loyalty to your country - every day, in the case of school children. Those who don't say it do so for many reasons: 1. Meaning lost in endless repetition, no explanation given, no history provided. 2. Comprises an ideological viewpoint that is forced on little kids by authorities to whom they are dependent. 3. The two above, taken together, is the definition of brainwashing. 4. The absurdity of having to repeat a pledge daily that apparently is only good for 24 hours. 5. The conforming routine of it, which makes you feel like a brain-dead robot sheep as opposed to a citizen of a free country who enjoys individual liberty. 6. Subordinates the people to the government, which we are told on good authority was created by us, with allegiance to us, not us to it. 7. Exalts nationalism over federalism contrary to the basic principles of our Republic. Subsuming states and individual rights to central government is a necessary pre-requisite for a centralized, socialist government to gain traction. This was an explicit goal of Francis Bellamy, the socialist author of the PofA. 8. Encourages jingoism. Antagonistic tribalism. No other countries have their citizens swear a loyalty oath to their government (except Mexico and the Philippines, mimicking the U.S). 9. Concocted by a company that sold flags as part of a plan to compel schools to buy more flags while instilling socialist-style nationalism in American children. 10. Unsavory connection with Nazis. The Pledge originally featured the Nazi-style salute. In fact, Hitler got it from the Italian fascists who much admired, that's right, kids in America doing it while saying the Pledge. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellamy_salute (Man, if that doesn't give you chills) 11. Is patriotic lip-service in place of, even at the expense of, actual civic engagement and action. (Symbolic patriotism) 12. Is uncritical patriotism at the expense of maintaining oversight over government. (Blind patriotism) 13. Considered by many Christians idolatry, taking the name of God in vain, swearing oaths, serving two masters. 14. Divides the nation (and the classroom) along religious lines. Only those represented by the Judeo-Christian "God" need apply as patriots (Ironic that "under God", comes right before "indivisible.") 15. Is hypocritical on the part of adults, bullying little kids into doing something that adults themselves don't do. (You say the Pledge every day, do you, and on a government mandated schedule?) 16. And last, but not least, pledging allegiance to a flag is just stupid.
