These pictures of our Muslim friends were taken today in the Middle East as they celebrated the religious "holiday" of Ashura.

It's what they do, leave em alone.

Cool. Good for them.

What is the point in this thread Talkhard? Are you implying something here? People all around the world have strange customs.....what about the christians in the Phillpines who drive steaks through the hands and feet while they are hung on a cross for hours?

I think somone has a hard time seeing outside of their paradigm.

I am leaving them alone. I just thought I'd share some of the pictures, which were furnished by the Middle Eastern Chamber of Commerce. I thought this would give us all a better understanding of this interesting and wonderful culture.

Folks, Talkhard likes to poke fun at people that are different than him, because it makes him feel slightly better about himself.

Rather than speculate about how few accomplishments he must have to need to resort to that, can't we just be tolerant of Talkhard's unique culture and understand that we all deal with life differently?

You do realize in most cases that is paint used as symbolic blood...a few hardcore Shi'i's do flog themselves with barbed whips but these days that is not very common.

this post serves no purpose. Please stop this kind of crap, ok? I'm getting tired of reading this **** on the board. Or at least, post it in the main political board.

might I suggest you start posting here. Get it out of my hair (what little I do have).
