Slashing themselves with chained blades, bloodied Shiite Muslims including young boys flagellate themselves to mark the death of the Prophets grandson
ah yes...when their beloved prophets grandsons needed forces to fight the Sunnis hordes...all the Shi’ites stood by in the Karbala and Najaf area and allowed Hussein and Ali to be murdered....going off that old Arabic saying, “Not my problem.” So - now, they walk the streets of Karabala on a pilgrimage once again cutting themselves to show that they were cowards for not coming to their self-appointed prophet’s grandsons hour of need...says alot about Islam - doesn’t it?
Couldn’t they just shoot themselves in the head? I mean . . .
This is the way to do it well. Christians in the Philippines
Kinda hard not to notice they’re backward bearded savages, eh?
They should not mock the prophet by these half measures. Go all the way
Armies of satan
I thought it would be about events in London. Maybe next year.
Blech...it's astonishing (to me, anyway) that this sort of bloody ritual is popular ritual with any religion, be it Christian, Muslim, whatever. What is it about self-mutilation that can be appealing to anyone with an ounce of sanity?
I think God frowns on purposeful disfigurement.
God, yes, but not their deity.
The Muslims are picking up bad habits from the Catholic church.
If they’re not bleeding TO DEATH, then who cares?
I’ll whip me again, whip me again,
Harder, harder!
I’ll whip me again, whip me again,
Harder, harder!
I’ll whip me again, whip me again,
Harder, harder!
Old muzzlem cheer!
Nice article, as bloody as that cult is I’m amazed at the fawning of the propagandist lies it’s a religion of peace, but again, in the latter days a strong delusion( not quite yet but appears to be a preview) will be upon all men and there will come a prince that ushers in false peace...you know the rest
