Nowruz, is this the one where they beat themselves senseless with chains or is it the one they hang themselves by their nads, because the prophet did it to little boys? Inquiring minds want to know.

Would someone give me a hint why I should give a s^it?

Nobody cares if you do. You brought yourself onto this thread.

Please, as an Iranian American I am VERY sensitive about these things. Please read my previous post about the meaning of Nowruz.

Norouz is pre Islamic. The looney blood holiday is the Islamic Ashoura..
