Young Iraqi Shiite boys have their foreheads slashed to honor the Ashura, the tenth day of Muharram when Imam Hussein was killed in the Battle of Karbala in the year 680.

The more I see and read of these subhuman animals. The more I'm convinced they will all have to be eliminated.

A child should feel at its safest with its Father and Mother, not terrified. Very Sad.

In marking the holiest day of Ashura, some Shiites believe children should learn at an early age about Hussein's suffering, which is at the heart of their faith.

But he didn't suffer. He was decapitated in the ceremonial fashion--a rapid death with no suffering whatsoever. The body's endorphins and trauma state kicks in, and renders a state of tranquility until you die.

recalling how the 7th-century Shiite Muslim saint, Imam Hussein, was decapitated, his head placed on a lance.

Saint or no saint, if these shiite-head "parents" are serious, it should be imperative that they follow 'Imam' Hussein's example -- exactly...

Any volunteers willing to offer assistance...?

Pure child abuse! But, as many have stated already, Islam has never meant peace and will never mean peace until they begin to love their children more than they hate Israel.

We celebrate holidays with presents, parties, family get togethers, etc. They celebrate by cutting their kids heads open with a huge machete. Hello!!!!!!!!! Over and over again I am being told that these people are wonderful and peaceful.
