It’s a really cute picture, from the AFP, with her little shoes and headscarf, holding her mother’s hand.
It’s cute until you notice what she’s carrying. That’s her adorable little self-flagellation device! So she can bloody herself up like the following kids:
Happy Ashoura everybody!
bump for later
Bloody hell. I didn't think muslims were well-adjusted before, but now ...
Just...oh...my...God... :*(
Thank you for the pictures, no matter how painful they are to view. :*(
"Religion of peace", feh. >:-(
Wow.
Thanks for those pictures.
No wonder Islam doesn't allow freedom of religion!
Those crazy and wacky Muslims. They're a surprise a minute, aren't they?
Diversity is our strength.
Coming soon to a neighborhood near you < /sarc>
So..............why is there a cross on that ambulance in the background? Shouldn't someone torch that symbol of idolatry?
Oh, they have been well adjusted alright, directly to self destruct mode. It's taken 1200 years to get to this condition, and I don't see any will of the muslims to reform.
In the Muslim countries I am familiar with, girls that little are not dressed up in the outfit until they are about nine or so. So, she doesn't look too cute to me (regarding what she is wearing, not the child herself who is precious) even without the self-flagellation device which is beyond disgusting.
Why won't MSM print or televise these photos?
As far as I know, women and girls don't do the self flagellation, that's males only
Great catch. I learn (or remember) something like that everyday.
Religion of Peace, my a$$.
Ya know, there used to Christian self-flagellation types. There is also Opus Dei, a Catholic group that has interesting practices.
I think they are NUNCHUCKS
She is a little muslim Ninja
Is that toy she's holding the same thing that is shown in the mob in the fifth photo? Is it a weapon?
There still are in Asia. I've seen the videos.
The sixth photo looks like a Klingon death dagger
A religion of Satan.
Shiite Muslim worshippers stand in front of the billboard of Imam Hussein as they observe the procession marking the Muslim festival of Ashoura, Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2006, in Baghdad, Iraq. The festival of Ashoura
Agreed. And the red on their faces is not blood, but is red paint symbolic of mo's grandson's sacrafice, I think?
Aren't there some men (Phillipines?) who crucify themselves, also?
My little girl is much cuter in her mantilla walkign with me to Mass.
Yes, this sort of thing has been going on for thousands of years. The Muslims of today are the descendants of the worshippers of Baal in ancient times. When Mohammed came to Medina, the peoples of that area were Baal worsippers, Baal being a moon god, which is why mosques today still have the crescent moon on top. Their cutting themselves is even mentioned in the Bible--
1st Kings 18 25-29
25: Then Eli'jah said to the prophets of Ba'al, "Choose for yourselves one bull and prepare it first, for you are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire to it."
26: And they took the bull which was given them, and they prepared it, and called on the name of Ba'al from morning until noon, saying, "O Ba'al, answer us!" But there was no voice, and no one answered. And they limped about the altar which they had made.
27: And at noon Eli'jah mocked them, saying, "Cry aloud, for he is a god; either he is musing, or he has gone aside, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened."
28: And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their custom with swords and lances, until the blood gushed out upon them.
29: And as midday passed, they raved on until the time of the offering of the oblation, but there was no voice; no one answered, no one heeded.
You are correct, I've seen photos of it taking place in the Philippines. It's unbiblical, but there are some who do it within the catholic church there.
To think that the point of the 'religious ceremony' is for everyone to bloody themselves, even that tiny little girl. Some religion of peace. It's revolting. I've seen this before, probably at Ashoura last year, but it bears repeating, lest we forget. I wonder if the MSM will show us pics of the happy ceremony?
Happy Ashoura!!
Wonder if MSM will cover this celebration?
Imam Hussein looks a bit fey...
Guess the question!
The answer is "War."
The question is "If Leo Tolstoy had been a Muslim, what would he have called his great novel?"
Cute child?
I see a slave.
I see the 12th century.
I see the disease of Islam and the future it wants for MY
5 year old, beautiful, niece. Brainwashing, head rags and
subjugation.
The contrasting, bloody, pictures say it all.
It's just a plus sign. /sarc
Don't a lot of religions practice mortification of the flesh?
I think they're always adults, but its still sick and twisted when they do it too.
"Diversity is our strength.

Actualy it's already here, has been for about 400 years.
Self-flagellation has been a part of many Christian sects since the beggining. In Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado, Los Hermanos Penitentes have done this since the Spanish Colonial days, and continue to practice it. This ain't just a "Crazy Muslim" thing.
The main difference that I see between the two is that in the age of the participants. The christians look old enough to say "no way am I doing that" while the muslims do not!
"Happy Ashoura everybody!"
Did you get a gift? Are they registered anywhere? I was at a Hallmark store and couldn't find a card! My goodness, what to do, what to do!?
Actually the Ninja were quite different than Muslims. They bathed so as not to alert their enemies of their presence during an assassination attempt (think "scent")

Islam is a sickness.
Excellent post, dead.
Probably just as well. The image was disturbing.
This is what the Stones should have performed at the SuperBowl --- I'll perform self...flagellation....they do that throughout my nation....I will bleed, I will bleed, I will bleed, I will bleed
When I read your headline about an adorable Moslem girl on her way to a religious ceremony, my first thought was I hope she is not on her way to her ritual circumcision, where they cut off her clitoris (to prevent ever having an orgasm) and then sew her vagina shut for her husband to cut open on their wedding night. This procedure, as I hope all freepers know by now, is done when every moslem girl reaches about the age of five and is yet another adorable characteristic of the religion of peace.
Then I saw how young she is and realized, God bless her, she has at least a year before she is thus butchered.
