Blood Soaked Muslim Ritual

Many of you have probably heard the saying that things will only change when Muslims love life more than they worship death.

While that might be a good start....I don't think it's going to happen in our lifetimes.

Check out these photos of Shi'ite Muslim men celebrating Ahsura.  They hit themselves with knives in the head and back in hopes of getting the blood to flow.  The more blood the better!!

The holy Day of Ashura festival sees millions of Muslim men and boys around the world take part in the dramatic ceremony.

It is held to mourn the death of the Prophet Mohammed's grandson, Imam Husayn, in 680 AD, during the Battle of Karbala.

The 10-day festival is observed by both Sunni and Shia sects, although self-harm is discouraged by some Shia leaders who say it creates a negative image of Islam. 

Shocking images from this year's ritual show streets in Iraq soaked with blood and youngsters posing with knives, spears and chains. 

The worshippers’ white robes are splattered with blood and many have open wounds on the tops of their heads. 

Those not carrying out the brutal acts slap their chests, chant, and act in street plays.

It is also common to combine the rituals with a pilgrimage to the Mashhad al-Husyn in Iraq, which is thought to be the resting place of the Prophet’s grandson.

Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Bahrain and Pakistan mark the day of Ashura as a public holiday, although it was banned under Saddam Hussein's rule.

I'm just not convinced these folks are ready to come into the civilized world and be politicians, bakers, truck drivers and teachers in The West.

You and I both know it's part of a Satanic blood lust that draws these people to carry out such nonsense.

"But Dennis, you have a Christmas tree every year!...and that's a pagan practice.  So whats the difference?"

When you get questions like that from non-believers, sometimes it's just better to sigh and move on.

Matthew 7:6
“Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
