Robin says - "There is a holiday which Shiite Muslims celebrate called Ashura, during this holiday the parents will use a dagger to make a cut on the scalp of their young child from the ear to the top of the scalp. The bleeding has a religious symbolic meaning that has something to do with a special blessing for the child by an imam."
"Several months ago, in a comment section for an article written about Obama and his scar is where I learned of this."

The 10th of Muharram in......New York City:
Looks like at some point he had a VP Shunt for hydrocephalous. Classic “hockey stick” incision.
Da scar wuz cause when he were bitch slapped aside his haid wif a ashtray.
Not sure what they do during Ashura on children but I do know that they whip themselves with chains and cut themselves with swords and knives. I worked at a hospital in Bahrain and I wasn’t allowed to go to work for that week because it was too dangerous. I wouldn’t be surprised if they did harm their own children.

They do this in the Philippines as well. On Good Friday, penitents gather at a point outside town where they receive scoring razor marks down their backs to begin a drizzle of blood. Some carry heavy wooden crucifixes and others whip themselves with switches to atone for their sins.
Ring Worm & other fungus come and go. It may be Jock Itch on his head.
i forget what country- but don’t some uber-devout cultures actually volunteer to be crucified?
Or Sufi.

It is possible that Obama had some sort of brain issue.
He had a large head when he was young
there is one photo that looks like he might have a shunt
there is a black person here that thinks this is just the way Obama combed his hair.
but if you look at the last post on that thread you will see more pictures I posted of that scar
Didn’t JFK have a weird scare too?
Cherish the diversity
Eventually.
