im iranian and i take part in ashura every year its not at all day of blood but the day of love light and somehow sorrw those images are the most stupid thing ive ever seen in my entire life.
to Mehdi
i havent yet read comments when i wrote mine we(iranians) believe these people (western cows)can understand more than what jomhoori eslami trys to tell us.how blinded we are ha ha ha …
@ Jayman
These kind of things r bullshits.”Rumors” r well known everywhere.
there is nothing like that. never happened in entire history.
Apart,Brainwashed “We just try to follow the way of God Almighty told us to do,revealed Quran & sent a role model Muhammad (PBUH) Quran was revealed on him.”
jayman u disgust me
all that u say is based on prejudice now i live in australia,qld,brisbane and i hav alot of frends from both sides of the muslim faith and i also had a christion frend and hav had jews come to our skool. my point is y diss a religion wen ur own faith has faults of its own in it? now can u plz explain this to me .. y? wld a god hav a son and if he did(astaghfirullah) hwo can he hav substance? because that is the sole thing makes a god a creation diffrent. a god is the creator and isnt created, because if he was born or created that means he isnt a god because he has human qualities.
also i wld like to add that u say jesus is the son of god that means that god a has a father and gradfather etc.(astaghfooralllah) so wat does that make god? to prove my point further go and research about the man that the jews call holy he slept for 100 years and then woke up and wen he looked at his donkey it was rotted and he said i seek forgivness from god.
the moral? u guys say jesus was crusified but he was seen 2 days l8 or somthing like that…. didnt it occur to u that god has the power to make the person that betrayed him look like jesus and save jesus because he WAS A PROPHET?????
last poin 4 2day is that name me 1 person that has memorised the bible , and as 4 muslims i can name u millions….
(p.s. im a proud shia to the end, whoever hussain a.s with that much hatred beta not tag themselves muslim)
Rote repetition = Divine revelation? You wish.

Dear all, I’m belong to that religion and we all as Shia knows that blood sheding is not allowed and it’s HARAM!!
So please do not generalization that to all Shia Muslims.
In the name of Allah the Benificent the Merciful.
Dear all,
I have been shocked by the poor understanding of the Shia faith as a pure beliver my self I dont see y or how Ashura is a happy event anyway. I have actualy been to Damascus just last year and have actully seen the Matamm of Zanjhir (beating of the chest with a blade) happen. To be honest there has never been a case of when a child at this age has been used like this and by looking at the picture the photo must be atleast 10 years old! In places such as Damascus the legal age is 18! I a resident of the UK know that is forbidden and that it dose not happen. The actual greif of Ashura is ment that NO ONE is ment to come to harm and that only mouring his death is the great part of life!
AND PEACE BE WITH THE FAMILY OF THY PROPHET MUHHAMD.
SURLEY WE ARE FROM ALLAH AND SURLEY WE WILL RETURN TO HIM… YA HUSSEIN YA HUSSEIN…
Who gives a dang if the picture is ten years old? Relevance please?
If it’s legit is all that matters.
please please dang matters
please please please
D has spillage from its mouth.
dear sir /lady
this ceremony is not a part islam or shiite but has send to islamic countries to show a bad face of Islam and shiite. This ceremony IS barred in Islamic Republic of Iran since 1979 islamic reveloution. To know Ashura day and Imam Hossein those whoare seeking the truth refer to reliable sites.
So DAVOOD, how is it that the guidance of your god can be so easily misinterpreted so that people do this bloody ashura stuff? Do ya maybe think that “guidance” is flawed and not the word of god after all?
Ya think? At all? Aren’t you even curious about that?
And how do you determine which sites are “reliable”? By some holy edict that’s as easily subject to misinterpretation as what results in the ashura ceremony above? What a joke.
It’s nearly 2010. Get past your goat-herder -age superstition.
wat faggots you are. Firstly that baby wont be cut because its not allowed and he is too young. secondly, yes its not the sunni’s that do this, they are the ones that caused this. Butchering our holy Imam when he was alive, trampling him with there horses, Ya hussayn
And thirdly, to netyahoo^^, wata net hero, “which sites are reliable?”, try going on a SHIA MUSLIM one, not some jew/christian/athiest(dum lost low life) one.
When they do this much harm to themselves , imagin what they are capable of doing to other people!!!!
Creazy fucking ass holes!
By the way … I’m muslim, but would never do this kind of shit.
Labaykah Ya Hussayn, your post just leads to more questions and you didn’t really answer the earlier ones. Let’s give you another try, and give you some new material to think through too:
First, again, how is it that the guidance of your god can be so easily misinterpreted so that people do this bloody ashura stuff, sometimes even to babies? Do you maybe think that “guidance” is flawed and not the word of god after all? Aren’t you even curious about that?
Second, if the imam was truly “holy” and supported by your supposedly all-powerful god, then how could the imam be killed? Was your god too weak to prevent the killing, or was the imam just not holy after all? Obvious conclusion: this god you worship doesn’t exist.
It’s nearly 2010. Get past your goat-herder -age superstitions and stop being a scourge on humanity.
LIES!IF ANYONE HAD CARRIED OUT ANY RESEARCH WHATSOEVER,they would know:
In Iran(majority Shia-muslim country), the blood-letting is banned and many fatwas, or religious rulings, have been issued declaring the custom forbidden.
For several years now the group has been trying to encourage participants to donate blood – instead of spilling it on the streets.
uhh, which statement(s) is it that are you claiming are lies?
And for that matter, why does an omnipotent being need any acts of worship from subjects anyway? Is your “god” vain and thus needy and imperfect?
So? In Iran it is on the do not do list, but that means nothing as believe or not Iran is not the only country with muslims. What about Pakistan or Lebanon, where this practise is also happening?
It is a practise that is still around and I doubt it is going away just as the self crucifications of christianity. People performing these acts believe to be devout believers and you cannot prove them wrong.
There are lots of people doing things, rituals and practises that others consider crazy. But regardless of your dislike of those practises, they thrive because people believe that such means elevate them in the eyes of their personal version of god figurine.
??? ?? ?? ??? ????? ???? ???? ??? ?? ?? … ?? ????? ?????
… -. –…. —. – … -.-.—
First of all, IF this person is actually about to cut his child in commemoration of Ashura, we’ll assume he is, Islam says that is WRONG.
Secondly, I’m Shia and I can tell you that Ashura is like a funeral for us, its NOT about hurting yourself. Commemorating Ashura is about expressing your grief about the atrocities that took place in Karbala on the day of Ashura. Which I’d like to add, wasn’t just one man’s fight for justice but it was an unjust ruler persecuting this man’s family and supporters.
And as a side note, self-flagellation with sharp objects was adopted by the Muslims from the CATHOLICS!!!
Please do your own research before propagating lies. I could just look at Timothy McVeigh and say, “look at those crazy Christians bombing everyone” but I don’t because I know better. Use the internet! DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH! DON’T JUST BELIEVE MINDLESSLY! THINK!
Re 73, if any religious freaks, yourself included, actually took heed of what you have in caps at the end of your post, and also were capable of thinking rationally, there would be no religion at all.
Also, your post is loaded with the No True Scotsman Fallacy.
I’ll even save you some research time. Just read up on it here:
http://rationalwiki.com/wiki/No_True_Scotsman
Yep, read the content of that link and think it through til you get it. Explore too. Rinse and repeat. Again. Understanding the content of that whole site might free you from your religious idiocy.
Also, that muslims and christians do roughly the same stupid stuff doesn’t make it any better.
And how is it a “lie” to post actually observed behaviors and events?
you guys should learn more about ones religion before critizing ones religion, also for thus Sunni brothers out thier, know your facts straight please Imam Hussien (AS) was narriated by Proophet Muhammed 100s of times in boths ur holy sunni books ours and even english philosphers and writers, sahih bohkhari talkas abot Prophet Muhammeds Love to hussain, Ghandi was no muslim and respected him, Thomas Caroyle, thiers alot others. Maybe these images for other non-muslims or non-beilevers yes it is a Shock i would agree that its not the perfect way for one to teach a person this religion, the religion is great and is connected to all the others, names of Imam hussien the prophet and other holy people do appear in both the Bible, and in the Torah. For myself, this is wrong becuase u guys are starting off with just the climax of wats happening, please understand and read the story, find urself an scholar in that doesnt have biast ideas of both shia and sunni islam and they will explain to you, and from thier on thel explain to you why people do this. Remeber this its an emotional thing, if your mother saw her chid die doesnt she cry and mourn for her son for 40 days? wont she cry and get so emotional shel wil start to hit herself? is a natural human thing, and this man is not normal on the same day he was martyed the skies wept blod and to back it up in the Anglo Saxian Chornicles this is what it states:
685. In this year in Britain it rained blood, and milk and butter were turned into blood.
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle

PLease i advise you learn more, if u dont like then u can complain and comment, thank you i hope i have not offended anyone.
A.A., nice try at selling your religion, but you fail. Your assumption that the audience of the site is unfamiliar with the details of your nasty religion also demonstrably fails, had you actually read much of the prior commentary.
Here is a more readily accessible reference than yours:
http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/Quran/index.htm
See especially here:
http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/Quran/contra/by_name.html
for a list of the many errors and contradictions in the book of horrors that you apparently take as perfect doctrine.
And this “blod” from the sky that you speak of, perhaps you would like to explain it in more detail. I doubt that you can, with any substance.
Religion is for the ignorant, the gullible, the deluded, the cowardly, and the stupid, and for those who would profit from them.
I am ashia Muslim and I am from the center of these things which we called it (( TATBIR )) this centre is the city of holy Najaf and the city of holly Karbala .
I want to tell everybody that made an comment or didn’t I want to tell all of you that I one of the peoples that do (( TATBIR )) and I do it every year in 10th day of Muharam month .
I have 19 years old and I do that with faith .
And I want to tell you that this thing is avery great thing and there a day that will come and all of you will know why we do that .
It is too hard to me to explain that for you in this comment .
but I want to tell you that what we do is one of the most things that save Islam and save humanity and save man and save all the meanings of good in this life .
and I want to tell you that we aren’t a stupid or crazy men .
and to be sure about that I tell that I am a student of nuclear and energy engineering and I from rich family .
for contact me: ((((( amjed.1990@yahoo.com )))))
in the end I want to tell you that we are the most culture people in the earth .

You lot don’t know what your talking about. You know nothing about the rituals of Ashura or about the day itself. Our children are strong and brave and are not afraid.
To the sunnis who condemn this, maybe you should talk about suicide bombings before you condemn this.

The life of Mohammed and his followers were filled with wars and blood. Can a brother Muslim explain to me:
1- Why did Muhammed (a man of God) engage in wars?
2- Why does he marry a 6 year old girl at the age of 50 and then tries to divorce his existing old wife?
3- Why a heaven filled with 72 virgins and no work?
4- What do women get in heaven?
5- Why does Mohammed ask his followers to beat up a wife who does not obey her husband?……
I have a 1000 questions but let us start with these.
Please enlighten me.
Guess what…

The hatred on here is amazing. Surely you can’t expect someone to think you are right when you are sinking to insults, wishing people would kill themslves, etc. If nothing else, live and let live.

menun, your post 96 is one of many variants within the fallacy set known as Pascal’s Wager. Google it. It fails as an argument for the existence of your particular god. Care to try again?
is it your moms weddind sukerssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why are you guys so keen on bringing down any religion? I’m atheist so don’t go “oh cause your muslim” or any of that crap. Let people practice what they want the same way an atheist practice his freedom of speech to say there is no God and science rules. I’m not agreeing with what the picture is stating at all but I can see it the same way there are radicals in any belief – Judism, Christianity, Islam, Atheist, Agnostic, (yea the last three are also beliefs since you stand behind a certain something/point) then you will find some in islam as well, as shown in this picture. But there is no reason to say YOU’RE ALL INSANE! I think that just goes to show how ignorant you guys are to just group 5 million or however many muslim there are in the world into one heading. I sure as hell would not like to be tied down to atheist who feel the need to tell other people what to believe in. And on the idiot who goes there are more Christians in the world, I’ve read a recent report that states the population of Muslim has surpassed to how many Christians (because half of Europe is atheist now) there are in the world. Just do your damn research before you start making arguments about another religion.
Oh, don’t wimp out like that, 99. Atheism is not a belief, but the absence of belief, after consideration of the evidence (or lack thereof).
Religion is harmful for a lot of reasons, for all the horrors it causes, plus the wrong conclusions and absence of responsibility it bribes its flocks with. You even show awareness of some of that.
Stand up! Stop religion now!
