I like going to a good wedding or christening where there is a party after
it and plenty of booze. I try to dodge funerals.

The Day of Ashura, which is the 10th day of Muharram in the Islamic
calendar, is commemorated by Shiite Muslims as a day of mourning for the
martyrdom of Hussein ibn Ali, the grandson of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad
at the Battle of Karbala (80 KM south of Baghdad) on 10 Muharram in the
Hijra (Islamic) year 61 (October 10, 680 AD.)

The ceremony involves cutting men, including boys, on the top of the scalp
and allowing the blood to flow freely. It's not a nice looking ceremony, to
be sure, and many Muslims disagree with this practice, because they clearly
see that it sends out a negative image of their religion.

But one should also remember that scalp wounds tend to be very bloody, and
probably most cuts aren't that deep.

It's not a ceremony that looks great to me, but I strive to be
non-judgemental about stuff I don't really understand. Plus the video simply
shows the ceremony being practiced, but it's put in context (by some
European facists no doubt) of: ohmigawd look what's going to happen your
neighborhood.

Rightwing think tanks send out this kind of incendiary stuff to gin up fear,
fear, fear, fear in their brainwashed minions. 

It's all about: see what these eeeevul muzlins are going to MAKE YOU do???
