This is sick. This is an insane people.
Blood streams down the backs of Shiite Muslims during a ritual of self-flagellation in Kabul, Afghanistan Sunday March 24, 2002. The ritual was performed as Shiites celebrated their holiest day, Ashura, which marks the anniversary of the death of Imam Hussein, the grandson of the prophet Muhammad. The men whip themselves with knives attached to chains to atone for Imam Hussein's death. The ritual was being performed openly for the first time since the overthrow of the Taliban, which had previously restricted the celebrations of the holy day. (AP Photo/Greg Baker) |

My, aren't these tough guys -- tough, stupid and backwards that is. No wonder why the middle-easter Islamics have been backsliding for the last 500 years!

We're supposed to understand, respect and tolerate their cultural diversity - especially the treatment of their children.......

This is nothing new..Lebanon has Historically been the seat of Human mutilation and religious depravity.
For those of you who know your biblical history well this form found its zenith in what is known as Ba-al worship.
Bloodletting..child and human sacrifice....for thousands of years...
No real mystery why it continues to this day...reason..its a spiritual dynamic...adopted by adherents..rationalized into thought finds expression in present forms..such as Human Martyrdom.
Jordan was nearly overthrown by the P.L.O. and Arafat...they drove them out..they went too..guess where?
Lebanon....result..Lebanon exploded into factional violence..Arab against Arab..against Christian..Jew and against western representation.
The violent nature of the land was bolstered and manipulated by Iran..from the early 80's Hizbullah has been the proxy org of Iranian terror directed at Israel.
The Spirit of this land will manifest itself soon....Bush has some tough descisions to make...Israel will not tolerate activity from this region.
This region will not tolerate America either...a big fight is coming soon folks...like the pictures above..it will get quite graphic!

The Jews must have bombed then with Purim pastries.

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.

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>

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.

50 years from now either this will be routine right here in the USA, while non-Muslims huddle in fear,
OR Jesus Christ will have found a way, even a Nuclear way perhaps, into the very heart of Satan's kingdom.
