| Anonymous Coward User ID: 28567749 11/27/2012 02:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23557583 o come on... it's a cultural thing. Like drowning your baby in a river to renew their soul. Yet if a non-muslim parent so much as spanks their child, they can face having the child removed or even jail while slashing their scalps open is OK? Listen OP! The title of the thread is misleading. This is not what muslims do, this is what a tiny minority of Shia community does once a year to remind them of the suffering. Besides, if you wana change the law and stop it, take it up with the authorities. I've been to Philippians and there's a group of Christians who practice exactly the same thing on the streets. They beat themselves up bloody. Anyway, the point is, if you dont like it, do something about it. No use coming here and whining about it. I've traveled all over the muslim world and majority does NOT practice this form of religion. i think we should start deporting muslim butts whether they practice this or not. islam does not fit in the free western world. Actually flagellation was carried out firstly by Christians and in fact JEWS! So kick yourself back to Israel. My Dual citizen. Opus Dei still perform this self purging act.(CATHOLIC) ! |

Quoting: Yea I'll never understand why the Muslims literally get away with murder and the rest of the world has to bend over backwards to not offend them.I say fuck um and their stone age mentality. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 15292827 Obviously the freedom of religion exists no more and the age of generalization has begun. Democracy reigns and the destruction shall begin. Law matters no more. Only that people's feelings are acted upon. It does not matter what it does to society... it only matters that you feel better. Egoism dictates action. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1711362 I know what atonement is as well and these days it usually consists of some form of good deeds rather than self-mutilation or mutilating ones children. And I have to wonder what those little babies could have ever done that they needed their scalps sliced open, some several times, and left bleeding like that. Yeah, they probably have a lot to atone for at less than two years old? Is that what you are suggesting?

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 3584790  France11/27/2012 05:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Educate yourselves people. 1) 99% don't practice Ashura this way, in most countries they just fast the day and give presents to children. Only a branch of Chiism does. 2) Inflicting oneself suffering has always been a rite of devotion in various sects througout history. Here is an example of what is done by Christians in Philippine : |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 28593308 United States11/27/2012 05:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't think one group should be above the law and allowed to do things to children that others would be arrested in a heartbeat for doing. Quoting: Bluebird That's the path to complete destruction of the fabric of society and accepted social contract. No other group is allowed to do what they please in this manner because it is their "culture" or any other reason. It's wrong to inflict this kind of pain on children and pretty stupid of the adults doing it to themselves. I did have a couple of friends who volunteered to go and help them with the whipping themselves bloody, however, lol. If you want to save children from physical harm done in the name of religion then oppse male infant circumcision. It is a worse harm than the Ashura festivities. As gruesome as it looks, cuts on the head spill a cascade of capillary blood that looks horrible but causes no signifigant blood loss. The self flagellation leaves small permanent scars. None of the ones I've seen look like serious wounds. Circumcision, on the other hand, robs a boy of more than half the nerve endings of his penis. Some men have lifelong pain with erection and dissatisfaction with sex. Circumcision done to infants causes trauma, sometimes an inability to bond with mother. Video tapes of infants before and after circumcision show bright eyed alert babies before and listless dissociated babies after. Mothers report their circumcised babies never regained their pre-circumcision alertness. Its a terrible thing to do to baby boys. That's where you should start your crusade against religious abuse of children. It should not be allowed. |

If you want to save children from physical harm done in the name of religion then opposite male infant circumcision. It is a worse harm than the Ashura festivities. As gruesome as it looks, cuts on the head spill a cascade of capillary blood that looks horrible but causes no significant blood loss. The self flagellation leaves small permanent scars.

Mothers report their circumcised babies never regained their pre-circumcision alertness. Its a terrible thing to do to baby boys. That's where you should start your crusade against religious abuse of children. It should not be allowed. All three of my now adult sons say they are glad they are circumcised and it has nothing to do with religion but science and cleanliness and health. And one of them has his MD. You do know that this often has to be performed as an adult and is much more traumatic then. So I only have my own sons' experience to base an opinion on and they say they will have their own children circumcised.

Reminds me of Elijah and his challenge to the priests of Baal & Asherah (Funny how Asherah is so close to Ashura) to call fire down form heaven. When the heathen priests called to their 'god' they: And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them 1Kings 18 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. |

William Wordsworth And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe—the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God. John F. Kennedy Inaugural Address Lincoln's economic advisor Henry C. Carey explained the universal issue in his 1851 Harmony of Interests: "Two systems are before the world.... One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other to increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other ... the American system, for ... elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world." "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein |

And no body made a thread denouncing all muslims about this either, just the ones doing this and in particular the ones slicing open the scalps of babies. These are in every major city in the world and not isolated incidents such as snake handlers are.
