Today is February 9, 2006 and you know what that means. It’s time to commemorate the martyrdom of Husayn ibn Ali, the grandson of Muhammad at the Battle of Karbala in the year 61 AH (AD 680). This tradition is better known as Ashura and is very popular amongst Shia Muslims. Many choose to spend the day performing mourning rituals or passion plays re-enacting the martyrdom. While most people march through the streets beating their chest, others emulate the suffering of Husayn by flagellating themselves with chains or cutting their foreheads until blood streams from their bodies.

Good solid advice that is compiled in a way I never seen before. A great starting point for those who have questions about what to do and where to start.
During Ashura, we Muslims just march on streets, sing religious songs and tap on our chest using our palm. and/or praying in mosques.
but THIS.. Hitting yourself with a dagger, is absolutely prohibited by religious leaders. We all disagree that this is just violence. No where in Islam said such a thing also prohibited every soul to avoid hurting themselves or others in any shape and form.
But sadly some minority Arab/Pakistani muslims do it.
If anyone wants to see the true face of Ashura, better search it in Iran.

This is the true form of Ashura which majority do.
By majority I mean if five hundreds do that violence, over thirty millions do the true form…

We all disagree that that isn’t that which we said not about it is just peaceful there here. No where here is Islam true because such that it is false is certain. What is prohibited is not soul but every themselves. Avoid forming shapes or else Odin will be flatulent near you.
One of my fav blog quotes here was “Religion is for the ignorant, the gullible, the stupid, and the cowardly, and for those who would profit from them.”
Now, Ashura is for the plainly stupid. You’d have to be pretty gullible on top of stupid to believe the other Islamic stuff too.
