Remember! Islam is one of the world's great religions with some very beautiful traditions and celebrations. Take for example, the famous "Ashoura" celebrated by Shiite Muslims around the world.
Ashoura is a very sweet and quaint Islamic tradition whereby people cut bloody gashes in their heads and bleed profusely over themselves while they work themselves up into a screaming, shouting religious frenzy.
Other young men will beat themselves bloody with chains, knives, swords, whips... etc.
It's a very - ahem - 'colorful' tradition.
