A Religion of Peace Celebration

The peaceful followers of peaceful Islam took some time off from peaceful rioting, burning, pillaging, beheading infidels, killing Jews and killing each other in the name of their peaceful g0d to peacefully celebrate the peaceful holy islamic holiday of Ashura.

In order to participate, you will need a sharp sword and metal chains to flagellate yourself in this unique Religion of Peace ceremony. You will also need white robes to show off the blood and gore to your fellow celebrants. Children and horses are expected to participate.

Some of you may be horrified to see these pictures but you are urged to remember that this is but one more way to worship the Prophet of Doom a/k/a Allah, and despite appearances to the contrary, this is a religion and not a cult. In fact, it is the Religion of Peace.

Therefore, this type of behavior is not to be considered abuse, even when it is children who are being beaten and bloodied with swords and chains.

Remember, there's no crying allowed.

So shut up and enjoy the show. You might as well get used to these images, after all, if the left has its way, you will soon be able to view these things first hand in the streets of America. In fact, you will probably be expected to participate, that is, of course, if you would like to keep your head.

Feel like praying yet?

The origins of Ashura: When the Omayyad Moslem army arrived at Karbala, Ali, the last blood relative of Mohammed found that his cowardly army had deserted him. He rode out with about 30 of his closest followers, and they were slaughtered. Muslims flaggelate and mutilate themselves on the each anniversary of his death to show remorse for deserting him before the battle.

There's more on this over at Six Meat Buffet, more pictures Aarons CC, and other places as well.

I'm sure there are some liberal assholes who will try to say this is no worse than Catholic self-flagellation.

I'm no expert on Catholics, ES and I thought they gave that up for Lent.

Bad joke, but really, I thought Catholic self-flagellation was in the distant past and no longer in practice.

It's apparently still practiced in some backwater areas. Of course they don't use swords and I doubt that they flagellate their infants like TROP does:
