The worst part is when they start on the children and cut them with knives and razors. That is how much muslims love their children when they inflict terrible wounds on them.
Ashoura cutting is forbidden in much of the Arab world.
Until the extremists take over, and then it is mandatory
I am inspired to tell my SHIITE story->>>
One of the first muslims I knew well was a young doc from NEW DEHLI--india.
----very much an avid MUSLIM-----One day he, very proudly, showed me a
scar on his scalp-----and---said something about a religious ritual which flew
rignt over my head. -------some time later----another young doc----pakistani
told me about "CRAZY" people in pakistan who beat themselves up
with whips and cut themselves on some holiday of theirs. Flower child that I
was ----I commented----"well that's their religion----so?" I was an observant
kid------I noticed almost IMMEDIATELY that pakistanis HATED iranians
------I had no idea why. I noticed that the young indian from New Dehli---
tried DESPERATELY to be good friends with the Iranians----to their disdain.
NATURALLY----jew that I am----I sympathized with the disdained
peole called "crazy"-----they seemed to be victims ----(well---that was
my perception back then) It took me years to gain an understanding
of the SUNNI SHIITE thing-------which ----looking back is a good thing
for a true understanding-------I got without any preconceived notions
In the world today-----the shiite/sunni rift-----which commenced even before the
carcass of al nabi was cold----REMAINS a very important force
