Shiites in Lebanon commemorate the killing of Imam Hussein, grandson of the Prophet Mohammed, by his rival over 1,400 years ago. More than 150,000 Lebanese packed the streets of Beirut's southern suburbs on Thursday, chanting 'Death to America,death to Israel,' in a mass rally called by Lebanon's Hizbollah guerrilla group.

A Shiite Muslim man holds his son as another man in the left slashes his head with a razor during the annual ritual to mark Ashoura Day in the southern Lebanese town of Nabatiyeh, on Thursday, March 13, 2003. Thousands of Shiites in south Lebanon marked the 7th century death of their most revered saint Imam Hussein, by slashing their heads with blades on the occasion known as Ashoura. Al Hussein was a grandson of Islam's Prophet Mohammed and is a symbol of martydrom for Shiite Muslims. People take their children to hairdresser who ritually slashes the children's forehead with a razor, and after the blood is spread by hitting the wound. (AP Photo/Mohammed Zaatari) |

I see these pics of our guys playing football, and then I see the pics posted
by Dio of those "men????" slicing themselves up with knives. Remember those
prophets of Baal slicing themselves up, while in a "whose god IS GOD" contest
with Elijah the Tishbite? There really IS nothing new under the sun. Evil doers
LOVE to cut themselves up apparently, brrrrrr. God bless the USA!

Hey D...
Do me a favor and take me off your ping list. I cannot take the graphics in my comments. If you have a ping list that you use for no graphic pings, add me to it. For some reason, my comments messes with my system here, where the thread loads just fine... don't understand why, but it does.

Gosh, Chem/MOP training. Ugh.
I would give a nut to get out of that. Every time that came up when I was in the Gulf, I volunteered for s**t burning. It actually wasn't to bad. Just had to add diesel and give it a stir once in a while.
Way more fun than chem training.

In Rawalpindi, Pakistan, Shiite Muslims flagellate themselves with
knives.
I know this is politically incorrect, but I'd say this to
these Muslims:
"I'll see your flagellation...and raise you a "I came so
that you may have
life and have it more abundantly..."
