Many religions have had and still have similar subgroupings which find the self-mutilation to give them spiritual and mental release and kind of a unity with the divine. People might not like to see it and might call it barbaric but in the end that is hardly a big thing for the majority of people. It is distasteful but as long as it is contained within the believers there is little actual harm in the minds of people. Me, I object subjecting the children to such rituals, I object it vehemently. Islam does not gain any bad reputation from such acts, no more than the catholic faith from the nailing to the cross in the easter. The real reason why Islam has gained bad reputation lies in the actions of the moderate muslims. If there is such a concept, which I am starting to find to be a kind of an oxymoron.

Even if there aren't many people who do this, they are still some. “SO THESE PPL ARE NOT SHIAS”

Just because you say they aren’t shia doesn’t make it so. Even if there aren’t many people who do this, they are still some.

@ irishthunder,

my point of a majority not Necessarily being correct in one aspect does not mean that it is incorrect in others. as you may know muslims are united in believing in the oness of a god, the Quran as the word of God and Muhammed as the final messenger.

Thats a great point, just because a majority of people think there is a god doesn't make it so. "oh will you stop criticising" No, if ANYONE ANYWHERE in the world can use ANYTHING in a religion as an excuse to harm or take away the basic human rights of another human that religion MUST be criticized and evaluated. “and just becaus eyour the majority does not make you right.”
