"Shiite Muslims slashing their own foreheads in Karbala..."

Thanks for the compliment Mud.

Yeah, pretty wacky religion to be slashing ones own forehead, huh? I guess it is done to honor a Shiite martyr of some sort...one can only hope that they continue to hurt only themselves, instead of others...
