Being hit on the head with a sharp object and bleeding profusely is a good thing. No wonder we all love Islam so much. And, if a female member of our family gets out of hand, we get to kill them. Islam is a religion that is just filled with goodness and happiness. I’ll never understand why everyone doesn’t embrace Islam. Persecuting and killing people of other religions is such a fun thing. Sort of like a “hobby,” you understand.

I have to wonder what the cutting of the scalp like that would eventually lead to scar tissue blocking blood flow increasing the incidence of scalp migraine type headaches, no wonder they are such a miserable lot....

Does anybody have the scoop on what this bizarre ritual is supposed to be all about?

The Day of Ashura (Arabic: عاشوراء‎ ʻĀshūrā’, Ashura, Ashoura, and other spellings; Turkish: Aşure Günü) is on the 10th day of Muharram in the Islamic calendar and marks the climax of the Remembrance of Muharram.

You would think they could just remember Muharram with a song, or a picture, or cartoon or something. Perhaps they are trying to draw a picture of Muharram in the kids head, and they just do not stay still long enough to finish the jobn.

Who says that multiculturalism is not a blessing?

Let’s hold bloody hands and sing Kumbayah.

Those scalp scars may be from the car accident he had in Hawaii while driving on a New York driver's license. He went by the name Bari M. Shebazz at the time.
