When watching that festival-thing happening on tv i always love those people running around with white latex gloves and a white aphron sterilizing everyone, like small drops of sanity in a great sea of insanity.
January 19th, 2008 at 5:39 am
Hey,
Didn’t see anything on TV (maybe because I live in Brazil), but are you saying this little boy was actually cut (against his will) with a razor blade because _some_ idiots believe they’re honoring an already dead man? Why don’t they fscking honor the deceased themselves, maybe cutting their own pulses, or even better, their jugular, thus becoming as deceased as their martyr?
It’s insanity. Those people deserve to be dead.

i just wanted to say i am muslim too … but this is just done by shia muslims (10 % ) and not by us sunnis (90% of Ilsam)
These crazy guys hit theirselves with chains ect what isn´t done by all muslims.
in fact how i think there are no muslims.
i just wanted to say that so that nobody gets a wrong image of islam
see ya
January 20th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
Sorry, afghan. If your claim to sanity is that only 10% of people following your religion lacerate themselves and their children on purpose, then you might as well give up.
Perhaps mohammed (the guy who comments on this site, not the dead pederast) will agree with you, but the rest of us think these people are batshit crazy, and 10% is a large enough minority to make us wonder how far off the rest of you are.

Thank you Syja786 for reminding me of how grateful I should be for being born and raised in an atheist family. Not many people on this planet enjoy life in the REAL world.
January 20th, 2008 at 6:05 pm
is it a competition to determine who is more a headcase, the shia or sunni? thats about as rhetorical as comparing protestant pentecostals and catholic pentecostals.
youre clearly both a bunch of useless arse-wits.
January 21st, 2008 at 12:02 pm
Wow - that’s one fucked up holiday. And I thought the whole circumcision thing was messed up.
January 21st, 2008 at 2:32 pm
And they wonder why we in the western world view them as a great danger. Anyone crazy enough to run around doing this is someone to keep a serious eye on.
January 22nd, 2008 at 6:13 pm
Anyone who has faith in a supreme being is a supreme fool. Anyone who believes that they have to honor the grandson of the guy who told them about the supreme being by severing the flesh of their resistant children needs to be institutionalized.

Dear Friens
I’m an iranian boy, 24, we don’t do this job, some people(very very little!!) who are so stupid and hey think that this job is a part of their respect to Imam hossein, who insurgences at front o yazid, who was omawian khalifa and slept with monkeys and drank alkohol and hossein would like to save islam. This job and injurying head(ghame zani) is FORBIDDEN IN IRAN!!!!
Iranian Leader has made it HARRRAAAMMM!!!!!
January 23rd, 2008 at 5:56 am
“I’m an iranian boy, 24″
So you gotta be what, 40 to be considered an adult?
“FORBIDDEN IN IRAN!!!!”
Yes, because that means it doesn’t happen, just like there aren’t any homosexuals.
January 23rd, 2008 at 11:25 pm
First, I must say English is not my mother language, but as people here speak English for the sake of mutual understanding (at least for the meaning of phrases), you muslims should avoid doing transliteration of Quram’s statements. It’s still gibberish to most of us, be it written in their original alphabet made of snakes or in latin characters. It’s just like those braindead christians who three out of two of their phrases are biblical citations, but in your case it means bananas to most of us, just like saying “Mohammed said Goo-goo-dah-dah-blablablah-booyah-fart-fart-fart, so I must beat myself and explode the infidels”.
Please use at least some degree of linguistic common sense when trying to communicate your “truths” to others.

Hi to All Viewrs…
The People who have the correct information about Islam and Shitte Sect, they know obviously that these kind of Bloodu Rituals Do not have any islamic base, and as a Shia Muslim i know and want to tell you all people that Our Great islamic Scholers have banned all these kind of activities.
thses are some deeds which is doing by some Believers of Islam, not by the Followers of Islam
January 24th, 2008 at 7:36 am
“”It’s just like those braindead christians who three out of two of their phrases are biblical citation”"
Hehe, you win the Typo-of-the-month award for that one :)
@Shujaa.
Soo, muslims are like those True Scottsmen, right? Google that one.

“In the name of allah, the all merciful and compasionate”
i havnt been on this site in aloooong time…
anyway, id just like to make it clear, that this act this perosn is doing is wrong especially since its against this kids will…
we must remember hussain’s sacrifice and honour him, for he was the grandson of the prophet muhammed (pbuh) and he did sacrifice everything for the sake of islam but this is ridiculous…
i mean not only does this send a negative image about islam, but it is clear in islam that we are not to inflict pain upon ourselves.
oh yh anothe rpoint, that ‘afghan_style’ really pisses me off because ill have you know the shia of ali are more than 10% of the muslim population. go educate yourself before you write down what you believe are facts….
may allah bless you alll for surely he is the all powerful, the glorious
(p.s if your reading this muhammed, this is the same ‘muslim boy’ you were debating with a while ago, how hav u been?)
“And when your lord made it known: if you are grateful, i would certainly give to you more, and if you are ungrateful, my chastisment is truely severe.”

January 24th, 2008 at 6:07 pm
muslim boy:
the funny thing is, THEY believe that they are doing the right thing and that YOU arent a true believer ~ its your word against theirs only.
So maybe you say “there are more sunnis than shiite, so we are correct” and to that i would point out that by your logic, christianity must be the true interpretation because there are more christians than muslims.
face it, THIS IS ISLAM!

“Corso plz first read about ISLAM”
syja786:
“when every u buy some thing u got user guid book for use that thing ok! so how u can be human beings born in a world without a USER GUID to pass life.”
I have read a lot about Islam and I am amazed.
Did you know your prophet kept female slaves taken in war and used them as sextoys or gave them away as gifts? Really he did and I hope you understand that I don’t need such a mans “guidebook” telling me how to eat and who to touch, that the earth is flat and mountains doesn’t move, that slaves are only worth half the value of a free man, that I must cut off the head and fingers of non-muslims, that I am allowed to beat my wife and that all the friends and family i have are going to burn for eternity.
I do however use guidebooks but I use the great thoughts and ideas from great men in history like Kant, who unlike a certain higwayrobber and warlord from the middle-east, did NOT claim divine authority in order to make people submit to his rule.
Surah 36: “It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger to have any option about their decision: if any one disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he is indeed on a clearly wrong Path”
Surah 7: “And whatsoever the messenger giveth you, take it. And whatsoever he forbiddeth, abstain (from it). And keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is stern in reprisal.”
In other words “Do as I say or my God will come and get you!â€.
What a great religion you have there syja786.
I will now quote Immanuel Kant. Look how simple and yet beneficial to mankind a man can write without the help of Allah, angels and threats of hellfire.
“Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, always at the same time as an end and never merely as a meansâ€

Which religious texts states that such flagellation is forbidden?
One might find it distasteful but where it is clearly said to be ‘haram’?
January 25th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
“Which religious texts states that such flagellation is forbidden?

Was that a question for me? if it was I don’t understand it. I do not know the word “flagellation”
January 26th, 2008 at 4:28 am
If Any Person Wants to Get The Islamic Point of Viwe about these kind of Illegitimate deeds, according to the Shariyah He or She can go to Following Webpage:
http://www.ezsoftech.com/mazloom/zanjeer.asp
For more information you all can ask yourself from the office of the Supreme Leader of Shia’s and Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s office
http://www.leader.ir
I WANT TO SAY ONCE MORE…..
THSES KIND OF DEEDS DO NOT HAVE ANY ISLAMIC BASE AND LEGITIMATION.
January 26th, 2008 at 4:45 am
So in short, the flagellation is not forbidden in any religious text?
It is forbidden in the sharia law which is not a religious text. Sharia law is man made and therefore fallible and even under the law it is forbidden on the premises that it is bad PR for Islam.
The websites only point towards other men and as they are no prophets they are not infallible. How one can trust such sources when compared to the Quran?
Can the laws of man go above the laws of Allah?

oh will you stop criticising, you think that Yazid was a good person, and just becaus eyour the majority does not make you right. allah is the best of judges. i do not accept this, it would be better if they would donate blood rather than waste it for example, but stop criticising.
its right what they say that those on the correct path will be opressed. but i dont care, because im standing by ali who was the rightful caliph. but its not the day of judgement yet when ali will get his justice…
hypocrites honestly…

whoops sent the comment twice lol
January 27th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
“and just becaus eyour the majority does not make you right.”
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.
January 28th, 2008 at 5:50 pm
IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE ALL MERCIFUL, THE COMPASIONATE
@ irishthunder,
you are correct but only to a certain extent. you have a choice to believe in a god or not to. there should be no obligation whatsoever. in the holy quaran it is said:
“There is no compulsion in religion; truely the right way has become clearly distinct from error” (2:256)
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.
i can understand why you would critisise because theer are so many bad peopel commiting horrible acts under the banner of Islam, but i would like to asure you that were not all that corrupt.
but for people to critise when their research is wrong is a difffernt issue. i repect everyones opinion because it must have its value. infact its interesting to understand the different beliefs, but how often do you get a debate without critisism and alck of repect.
March 29th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
guys..
im a shia boy but these are not
you can rarely find ppl who do this in us
but our shia leader says that it is haraam ( banned )
SO THESE PPL ARE NOT SHIAS
March 29th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
“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.
March 29th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
in the name of allah, the all-merciful, the compasiopnate
ali, i’m a shia muslim myself and i am totally against this. the act is meant to emphasise the sorrow towards hussains martydom, but i personally think it is doing far worse than good.
not only will it have a physical impact upon you, but it portrays islam in a negative light.
you cannot say they are not shia muslims because you do not control that. if you belive in allah, and muhammed as his messenger and ali as the rightful caliph then you are a shia regardless of what you do…
March 29th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
Personally, I have to say that the flagellation is not really a thing that people find troubling in islam. 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.
August 14th, 2008 at 11:20 am
all shia are wrong although a few of them are on the right way,, here is your mistake : you follow the shaikh in whatever he says ,, this is wrong we should follow the kuran (which says that hitting and injuring ourselves is forbidden)and the way of muhammad pbuh by following the sunnah ,, and that is the right islam ,, allah akbar dhahara alhack wa zahaca albatel ,, and by the way ali is like the rest of the sahaba ,, we should not prefer one sahaba over another and course aother sahabas this if forbidden ,, just follow muhhammad pbuh ,, maybe you will be of the believers
August 17th, 2008 at 8:06 am
I do not believe they did this with the child. We must pray for these people, they need to know urgently to God
October 6th, 2008 at 1:36 am
i am a good (sini) Muslim and i thing the way u celebrate is really stupid, i mean the poor baby is about to die from crying and what are you doing sticking a blade throw its head, come on, really is that a good thing or bad. god tells us to protect our self not to stab our self
October 6th, 2008 at 6:22 am
