Saw films of this years ago on PBS. Cutting ones flesh as a form of worship is considered a pagan practice by Jewish law. It further confirms the assumption that Islam's origin was from a form of paganism.

Crazier than a box of bedbugs. They just love the sight of blood.

Body piercing and tattooing are out in the Jewish law. Pierced ears for earrings are OK I guess....and only for the women.

Aren't these the same folks who falsely accuse Jews of some kind of blood ritual? I guess the muslim blood ritual is more humane. I mean comeon what can be more humane than cutting open a child's forehead???? </ sarcasm>

Hi...Dennis and Everyone Who Loves and Supports ISRAEL,

Can you Imagine this HORRIFIC, DEMONIC display of SELF MUTILATION, and a so-called "Mother" does this to her own Baby...the poor kid looks absolutely Terrified!

Where the hell is the: UN and Child Protective Services?

Why aren't Hillzebeast Clintoon and her Crooked Cronies, the Secular Humanist - Socialists...aka: Liberal - Limo Democrats SCREAMING for an end to this?!

NO Jew on the Face of this Earth would ever do anything like this to themselves or to their Children.

ISLAM...The Religion of Peace and Love....NOT!!!

WAKE UP WASHINGTON DC...take a good, long hard Look at this so-called Religion of Peace and Love.

AND WHILE YOU ARE AT IT...STOP LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!!

Here's the Quick CURE...NUKE THEM ONE AND ALL!

In Beirut, hundreds of thousands of Shiites, all clad in black, marked Ashoura with denunciation of Israel and the United States for its support for the Jewish state.

What a bunch of imbeciles and lunatics. Syria is occupying Lebanon and their whining about Israel.

No wonder some Pal mothers send their kids out to stone tanks. Apparently, their kids mean very little to them. They're just cannon fodder. Having a dead kid apparently brings some kind of social stature in this "community".

"I ache for the touch of your lips, dear,
But much more for the touch of you whips, dear
You can raise welts
Like nobody else
As we dance to the Masochism Tango!"

Islam is a cult of death and insanity. What kind of nutcase would slice her little childs forehead on purpose? Or gladly send her children off on suicide missions to murder innocent people? The moon god is a bloody death loving demon. These are the people we face, I believe this challange will be greater and much more costly than the one between communism and freedom.

I think even pierced ears are not kosher, even for women.

These people are nuts. Frankly I don't care if a bunch of loony men whip themselves with knives and slash their heads open... but seeing the two pictures of the little children being cut open, that is child abuse!

The Left in America went bonkers when the Taliban blew up those ancient Hindu statues and over the repression of women, I wonder whether there will be any outcry over mutilating little children.

[Doctor Stochastic]

So what do people think about Los Hermanos Pentitentes?

Catholic Encyclopedia Link

Flagellation has been in Christianity longer than Islam has been in existence. (Which does not justify the practice.)

[nomad]

I just hope FoxNews shows these pictures, perhaps things like this will reach some of the left`s sucker mom enablers, "This is what your party defends when it says Cultural Diversity, how do you feel about that?".

[RnMomof7]

Discusting..nat at all what one would expect from the religion of "peace"........or is it?????

[nomad]

Do they whip kids?

[monkeyshine]

As I said, self-flaggelation is pretty much fine by me, if you want to do that to yourself. It's the slicing open of your children's skulls that has got me sick in the stomach.

I literally felt ill looking at all the photos on Yahoo. It is very disturbing that this is 'accepted' practice. Similar practice is going on in Afghanistan

[Long Cut]

The shot of the smiling mother, happily cutting her baby's head with a knife, is absolutely chilling. It fires every nerve and instinct in me that screams,"WRONG!"

Look at it again. Does it not make your flesh crawl? That photo should be one of those we post whenever one of the Kaffiyeh Kommando Krew shows up here. I hope somebody captures it, for that purpose. Obviously, the New York Times, Washington Post, and ABCNBCCBSCNNMSNBC will never show it in a million years.

Hah! And they're, we're constantly told, controlled by those EEEEVVVILL JOOOS. LOL!

It should be posted often, and its photographer should recieve a Pulitzer Prize.

[dennisw]

These are photos of brainwashed and possessed people.
