And it’s for the old and young alike.
Oh, and death to the US!

Lebanon’s Hezbollah supporters raise their hands as they chant slogans against Israel and America during the Ashura ceremony held in Beirut’s suburbs January 19, 2008. Tens of thousands of Shi’ite Muslim Lebanese converged on Hezbollah’s southern Beirut bastion on Saturday to mark the climax of Ashura religious ceremony, one of Shi’ite Islam’s holiest events. Ashura, a 10-day-long event commemorates the death of the Prophet Mohammed’s grandson Iman Hussein in battle 1,300 years ago.
What a beautiful religion.

100% totally incompatible with normal people.

Can’t they just settle for circumcision on the eighth day?

I hope each and every one of them gets a nasty staph infection from their stupidity. Just go ahead and finish the job and do yourselves in you cavemen. Jeeze!

To me it looked like a great target for an air strike, (but then, any large assembly from this cult makes me think of that). I was thinking maybe napalm. Heck, don’t they wanna feel pain? Just giving the customers what they ask for. …and then they can find out if that virgin thing is really true.

I don’t understand the comments here …
This is only one aberrant sect of the entire bogus religion. Everyone seen performing these lacerating acts believes that the Creator God they refer to as Allah is blessing their minds and bodies in the process.
They actually don’t know the Mind and the Intentions of the Creator God, obviously.

May MRSA strike them all. And while they’re at it why don’t they all make themselves eunchs, solve alot of our problems.

mergatroidal….I’m sure I probably agree with what you said, I’m just not sure what it is you said there.

If this illness called religion wants to inflict hurt on its own and they keep it to themselves, no problem !
I do have problems with cutting children in this wild ” no head on the chicken ” dance . It’s when they want to make US bleed that I have concerns .Lets finish what they started , and were already over there .

Looks like a bunch of S&M’ers with a blood and blade fetish…which, considering what a pervert Moonhamhead was, is likely not far from what it is.
If the adults want to hack themselves until they bleed out, I don’t have a problem with that. Fewer terrorists to kill. But when they start bringing kids into it, THEN the real sickness of islime is shown. This filthy and retrograde excuse for a cult of death should be expunged from the face of this planet. What seriously sucks is that people are too PC to grasp that islime is a perversion and a mental disorder…the libs and other stupid excuses for grabastic amphibian s**t (thank you for that turn of phrase, Lee Ermey) would view this bloodletting as just another cultural aspect of a quaint tribal ritual.
But then, to these mohammedan barbarians, mass murder of unbelievers is also a cultural aspect.
There’s the face of the enemy, folks. It’s what’s in store for all of us if we lose this war, and I’m NOT exaggerating.

How can an entire group of people be mentally ill? Every Lib should be forced to look at these photos.

Best argument to make to any liberal would be what would happen if this took place in Public Square, U.S.A. ? How fast would the cops put a stop to it? See? that’s what makes the “this is just a small minority of observant individuals.” argument so wrong. THESE FOLKS AREN’T ON AN ISLAND!!! They are on the public square of towns full of Muslims that supposedly aren’t in the “small minority” and yet they still allow it to go on. Therefore…they, too, condone it. So YES, the entire friggin’ religion is a blood cult that no one wants to stop!

I was sickened to see the young kids being brought up in this religion of hate and blood. These adults are continuing the legacy with these kids; kids that don’t know what is going on, but are being abused and hurt to continue the legacy of hate.
There is something sickening in this entire thing.

Oh, I think there must be a festivus tree hiding somewhere in those pictures.
Can you imagine all the so called human rights violations amnesty pins
on the US yet such warm family traditions exist in other parts of the world?
I heard the ACLU was going to force elementary schools to make this one of their
yearly holidays for the kids to enjoy.

Every time you turn around these people get crazier. It seems that Star-of-David-wearing Shiites are attacked other Shiites during the Knife-yourself-in-the-head-til-you-bleed festival in hopes of creating chaos, thereby speeding up the return of the Mahdi. What could be more logical?
