Ashura marks the death of Prophet Muhammad’s grandson, the revered Imam Hussein in Karbala, Iraq 1,300 years ago.
Ashura, an optional fast day for Muslims, falls on Dec. 4-5, 2011. The word itself, ashura, means 10, and the holiday is the 10th day of the Islamic month of Muharram. The Islamic calendar is lunar, so the date of Ashura can vary depending on sighting of the moon.
Here’s how it’s done:
Shiite Muslims observe Ashura through mourning rituals such as self-flagellation and reenactments of the martyrdom. Many travel to Karbala in Iraq, where Hussein was killed, as a pilgrimage on Ashura. Most observers wear black and march through the streets chanting and hitting themselves in the chest. Some use whips and chains — or cut themselves on the forehead — to ritually punish their bodies. This practice has been condemned by some Shiite leaders, so Ashura blood drives are often organized as a substitute.
Thousands of Muslim men beating themselves bloody with steel chains. What could be better?
Imam Hussein, a grandson of the Prophet Mohammed, was killed by armies of the caliph Yazid in 680 AD. He was said to be decapitated and his body mutilated in the battle at Karbala, now in Iraq, Reuters reports. As is custom, the crowds — many of the them hordes of shirtless men — re-enacted the killing of Hussein, hitting their backs with knife-covered chains and cutting their heads with swords, even though the self-flagellation traditions have been banned by some members of the Shiite clergy.
Fun for the whole family, even small children and babies:
may every day be an ashura for them, and their ilk. stay there and do it we dont wanna clean up the streets after them.
would some one tell them they are not doing it right, they are still alive. the way you do it is so that you dont stay alive, so keep on doing it harder next time dudes!!!
At least they are cutting themselves up instead of the poor defenseless halal animals for a change.
Looks like the latest reincarnation of the Kristallnacht has now come to Florida:

RRA, I just found a story about Jewish schoolgirl in Winnepeg, Canada, who was attacked and had her hair set on fire while being taunted with antisemitic slurs by some “boys.” No info yet on the identity of the boys so I will wait to see before I post.
At least they’re not hurting animals? What about the hundreds of children and babies who are slashed with razors? Glad you got your priorities straight then!
random, enter “halal slaughter” in the Search box here if you want to see animals being tortured.
Why can’t this festival last for lets say a month or two. Oh, and use sharper tools. LMFAO!
sick
Their technique is too awkward to be thorough. If only they’d let us help …. If they request assistance, wouldn’t it still be considered self mutilation?
It looks like the horror keeps on going.

sick fucking scum – why not extend this holiday and change or include KILLING themselves since the pedophile’s son was killed why not complete it rather than feel his pain – pussies . we don’t want or need this here in the US – Europe, enjoy, you fucked up misguided fools ! Look what you got – what you asked for
I could care less if I ever visit France again or London – Egypt was cool, but no ore
I’d “help” in a heartbeat – show them how to do it “right!” LOL!
let’s see the grandson was decapitated and they celebrate by mulitating themselves. Weird! how come they don’t include self decapitation or decapitating one another. Short ceremony and many Many dead Muslims.

I like your comment of ” who is going to clean up the streets after them” here in Australia there are strict rules about exposure of blood. Especially in ALF football games as soon as somebody has blood coming out of any part of their body they call time out so they can bandage up the wound. This was put in place to safe guard the other person just incase that player had the virus. Has common sense and logic gone out of the window??? I think so… Oh and I think these people that are self mutilating themselves are missing out something here. Didn’t I just read that his grandson was decapitated then mutilated??? So whats the point of all this if they are not going to do it properly in the first place. Someone needs to tell them they are doing it wrong. Decapitate first, then mutilate!!!
In the third video, was that person actually EATING while this horror was going on?? If so, then that explains it all…barbaric and disgusting!!! I feel bad for the little kids-this is horrible!
Things are beginning to make a little sense – the muslime calendar is a lunar one – now I understand why they are all lunatics !!! Figures because only a lunatic would act as they do.
Bigger problem is that the non-muslime world must be even crazier to allow the muslime lunatics to run rampant.
Pitiful.
It’s coming to our neighbourhoods!
Oh and by the way that virus they were protecting themselves against was either Aids or HIV
This certainly proves the muslimes are bat sh*t crazy. I feel for the small children having to participate in this barbaric ritual.
They should do that across their necks — repeatedly. Freaks.
When will they let us help them celabrate? This could be more fun that St. Patrick’s day!
I’ll even bring my own chain!
too bad that long dead revered imam did not have his private’s cut off would like to see them copy that.
This is barbaric! Is it my imagination, or did I see one of them watching the proceedings and eating at the same time? (3rd video) Animals! How could they hurt children like that?
Rose, yes they are eating. It’s like watching a parade for them.
There’s a saying that we in Australia are familiar with and I like all of you Muslims to grab a hold of so you don’t need to go through with this ritual which is so outdated. That was why Jesus Christ went to the cross. He took all of this on himself so we wouldn’t need to do it….because we are so unforgiving of our selves.
So to all of you Muslims or any other person that feel the need or the urge to this to your own bodies….” STOP! Stop beating yourselves up and do yourselves a favor and
be kind to yourselves”. This is the only way to freedom and its by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord into your hearts!!!! He loves each one of you very much. He took the punishment on Himself that you deserved so you wouldn’t need to harm yourselves (or anyone else). Call upon the name of the Lord and you shall be saved!!!
yourselves or anyone for
Hey mohommedists that are watching and reading here. How is this a religion of peace (even though we know it is a faith that worships Satan)?
No one in theire right mind cuts them selves deliberately. You must have a complete staff overlooking your mental depravity.
Good way of putting it, BNS!
Sorry to see they are only going half way in their self punishment, GO THE DISTANCE. The word should be out, there is a FATWA, a Bordello in paradise waiting for them, with young boys and goats for their perpetual pleasure, if they tire of the 72 Houris.

Regarding Christ and the Church:-
“So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loved his wife LOVES himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but NOURISHES and CHERISHES it, just as the Lord (Jesus Christ) does the church”.
Ephesians 6: 28-29
Do you want such people in the West? In the US? In Britain? Elsewhere?
I don’t either.
Ban cousin marriage immediately!
Politicians, get to it.
BNI, Mozzies LOVE violence!
Violence makes them feel PROUD AND STRONG!
Mozzies think ‘See how immune we are to pain!’
‘We are STRONG with Allah, but the West are weaklings!’
‘Perhaps we should take over the kafirs and oppress them.’
May many bleed to death, and many more die painfully from infection and disease.
Those mothers must be so proud of their children. Why can’t Muslims have any fun without bloodshed? They are truly barbaric.
Imagine how Child Protection Services would re-act to us westerners if we did this to our children. I know this happens in our countries and no-one says a word. They use this pseudo religion to break all our laws, they are a law unto themselves. They have a greater blood lust than vampires.
They are so sick these idiots.I do not have words enough to say what I think of all those dumbheads. That they also doing these to their children is really cruel but what can U expect from these dumbheads that kills their own children when they do not want to get marriage to them that their parents choice for them ???? Inbreeded idiots.
ok as for those who don’t know this since so many of you are condemning Muslims as one entity, even though we have sects just like Christianity and catholic’s. it is only the shi’it who do this not the sunni’. Islam actually condemns self mutilation. we are suppose to take of our bides and respect it, so yeah even to another Muslim who isn’t shi’it its pretty freaking messed up… I also feel bad for the children. Who in their right mind would do such a thing.
Ooookay, now if the adult asslifters want to cut themselves repeatedly until they bleed out, that’s perfectly alright with me, but doing that s*** to little children who HAVE NO SAY in the matter is not only barbaric but places the adults doing it to them in a position of being LOWER THAN WHALE SHIT!!! And incidentally, in asslifter (aka. muslim) domiinated countries is not the only places the children REALLY have no choice. In an area where I used to work, I got to see fitrsthand children having NO SAY, going to a ****ing ASSLIFTER school by their parents’ choice NOT theirs, being informed something like this, “YOU WILL go to the ASSLIFTER ACADEMY and learn to be a good little asslifter OR we will have you stoned to death or beheaded….”..some ****ing choice, huh?!……And Catholic kids here in the USA sometimes think they are mistreated?!!!….BS!!!….Once again we see the big three tools of Pisslam in action: FEAR, IGNORANCE, and HATRED!!!
Why do they stop slashing when the blood comes, I thought blood drove rag heads in to a frenzy of chopping. Please spread AIDS
that’s all i can say is what in the hell is wrong with these people????they act like animals, worse than animals. I wish that they would stay in there own country, they are not welcome here.
Insanity, just pure insanity. They involve their children in this insanity and wonder why we think they are all demented (along with their whole religion, ‘holy’ book, paedophile prophet ect…).
I agree, they should do this for more often, without the kids though.
muhammedans would be hanging limp from the trees if it wasn’t for the stupid laws you’ve made.
This is not ALL MUSLIMS! this is what Shia (200M) believe, the Sunni MUSLIMS are against this! (2.1BILLION MUSLIMS)
This is Siite Muslims, you shouldn’t judge every muslim the same, after all christians,some vicars abuse choir boys, does this make all christians pedophiles? no of course not, not all shiite muslims agree either with this ritual, the idea is to emulate the suffering, not “celebrate” anyway. Often giving blood is a new way to emulate the blood shed by the prophet. I believe only the good actions of a prophet should be emulated, not the harm that befalls them,also worship and celebrate only God only Allah (God in Arabic) Only the one true God, not prophets or anything else. It is the same in any religion, man makes up his own interpretations and rules,which divides us. we should all follow the path of good not evil, love, kindness goodness, not cruelty to ourselves or others, the media only ever shows extremists and shocking images, Islam is beautiful, Allah is most gracious and merciful. God is Love. Mankind corrupts, God/Allah is absolute truth. posts like this, just continue the hostilities of faiths, God is love. Peace and love to all.
I am OFFENDED! This is the maddest thing I’ve ever come across and that’s coming from a muslim, you know the real kind of muslim. They are cursed people..gosh what an abomination against the religion of Peace! And Wherever this is the law of the land needs to take action, this is abuse of the highest kind!
Stop your nonsense, you just make the non-islamic world laugh when you call islam the religion of peace: islam is responsible for the most violent places in the world today and no one kills more muslims than other muslims! The western militaries wishes it could claim as high a muslim death score.
I know – when you say peace you mean peace acheived by subjugation of the planet, but you know in your heart it will never happen.
mecca will glow in the dark long before that.
Before all you Christians pat yourselves on the back, please look into Los Hermanos Penitentes, a group here in Colorado and New Mexico, that has been self-mutilating for centuries, re-enacting the crucafiction of Christ. I submit to you that all religion is BS, not just Islam.
Agreement from a Christian, right here! Come on, you guys, self-harm for a religious purpose isn’t limited to SOME sects of Islam. (SOME SECTS NOT ALL.) So, all of you people calling yourselves Christian here, get off your high horse, because some groups of Christianity self-mutilate, as well.
Also, with all this “they should do it more” BS, HOW CAN YOU CALL YOURSELVES CHRISTIAN?? Seriously, God and Jesus were all about peace. You call this loving thy neighbor? You all disgust me, and you are not true Christians.
Apparently, Kami, you haven’t read the Bible through to the end.
Revelation gets pretty un-peaceful. Of course, it is a depiction of the final days of human history in which Satan incarnates, takes over the world, and causes Yahweh/Yeshua to finally lose patience and take back control of the Earth from Satan and his minions, who got hold of the “title deed” when Adam *Man* chose to reject the ONE rule set down by Yahweh/Yeshua (that one rule being to not eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil).
Speaking of which, folks: Did you know that Mohammedanism doesn’t have the Tree in its version of the Garden? Do you know why? Because in the Bible, the Tree is there to give Man the CHOICE to love and follow Yahweh or to reject Him.
There is NO choice in Mohammedanism: 99.9% of all humans are predestined by “Allah” to an eternity in the hellfire, whether they are Mohammedans or not. In fact, a Mohammedan has NO assurance of “Paradise,” apart from being a jihadi murderer and dying while trying to kill non-Mohammedans and/or force them into Mohammedanism. The reason Mohammedans always say “Peace be upon him” after every mention of Mohammed’s name is because he didn’t die a “martyr,” and thus there is no assurance, even for him, that he’s in Paradise. Then again, the reason Mohammed is the “examplar” of human behavior for Mohammedans, and the reason it’s always “Allah and his Apostle” is because *gasp!* Mohammed WAS Allah.
Here endeth the lesson.
This is why religion is the cause of death and war if they were no religion the world would be a better place .
Tell that to the 80 million or so who were killed in the last hundred years by atheistic (actually, anti-theistic) doctrines like Communism, Fascism, National Socialism (all left-wing ideologies, by the way). I daresay that “no religion” is just as much a killer as false religions (Mohammedanism).
I dont mean to be rude or racist or anything but I dont really think that was a good idea to use as a religion so who ever had thought of that idea must have wanted all of his people to bath in their blood. So to be honest, im kinda against the idea!
Bit of course thats only my opinion.
