Ashura

Posted by Sexy.Chewbacca in ,

The Remembrance of Muharram and Ashurah (عاشوراء) for Shia commemorates Imam Husayn ibn Ali's martyrdom. Imam Husayn was grandson of Muhammad, who was killed by Yazid ibn Muawiyah, the Sunnis' 6th Khalif. Ashurah is a day of deep mourning which occurs on the 10th of Muharram. Sunnis also celebrate Ashurah, but give it a different meaning (to fast on the day itself). On January 19, 2008, 2 million Iraqi Shia pilgrims marched through Karbala city, Iraq to celebrate Ashura. 20,000 Iraqi troops and police guarded the event amid tensions due to clashes between between Iraqi troops and the cult which left 263 people dead (in Basra and Nasiriya).

What Mourning of Muharram is all about in layman's term..






After the fall of Saddam, the Iraqi Shiites are exercising their freedom to practice their faith.

These pictures are to show the level of brainwashing that it takes to make a parent harm and mutilate his own toddler to appease his deity.


A Shiite mother rejoices after inflicting wounds on the head of her toddler


A father cutting his son to bleed as penitence for the killing of Imam Husayn




Is this how a father teaches his son religious values?

this is not what Islam is all about. The way these people are preaching/showing the "ways of Islam" is just their own views of what Islam is...

Certainly its not how we should act as Muslims

No, this IS Islam. They ARE the REAL Muslims who FOLLOW the Quran.

hahahaa i don't give a shit whether they are real Muslims who follow the Quran or not ,from what i learn all these are bidaah. These people are preaching/showing the "ways of Islam" is just their own views of what Islam is...like shari said.

Showing their own "ways of Islam"? How are they different Mur? Here, read this:

The difference between Sunni and Shia sects of Islam do not exist to the dramatic degree many Western's assume. While there are slight variations in the way they view their religious leaders and attach meaning to the history of Muhammad's family, cultural and political differences hold the most divisive power. Both sects emphasize the Five Pillars of Islam, read the same Quran, and consider each other Muslims.

Here's a comparison table for both sects:

Lemme highlight it for you where this HOLIDAY of ASHURA is in:

major holidays
Sunni: Eid al-Adha, Eid al-Fitr

Shia:Eid al-Adha, Eid al-Fitr, Ashura

Of course you don't give a shit, you're not a Shiite.

I know that each group (Shia and Sunni) fabricated Hadiths in order to serve their own purposes. But what I'm stressing here is that imo, Muslims should NEVER get into arguments that split them apart if they speak of UNITY. Muslims are divided into splinter groups who kill/diss each other.

I believe that everyone has their own beliefs but this kind of behavior does not seem "religious" to me by any account.

Is this the trait of a Muslim who has the Quran on his right hand preaches about peace, unity and Paradise, when he has a sword on his other hand beheading non muslims and other sects of islam?

I couldn't ever bring my self to bleed my own child. These people don't know wtf love is. When religion is more important than family, you have problems.

God could exists, Islam could be correct, and when we die, we could go to paradise.

But my family who cares about me is here. I'll enjoy what I have now, instead of sacrifice shit for what I could later.

How arrogant are we to hold ourselves above the animals who crawl upon the dirt floor, when we're more brutal and vicious than they are. When we kill over something that could exist, when we so easily destroy that which we cherish most... And for what...?
