[b]Okay I viewed the first one. I know you warned me that it's bloody. I could have taken that. What I could not take is the picture of the woman hitting what appeared to be a three year old boy on the head and seeing his bloody head and face. I wasn't warned about that and it upset me greatly. It's one thing to commit self flagellation in the same of your religious interpretation but another to have it be done by an adult to a very young child. I understand it's an important day of mourning in the Shi'ite sect but sorry my feeling is that this just goes too too far. There are not many in the international community I think that would find this acceptable or tolerable, even for the sake of diplomacy. 
I could not finish reading the article or view the second link because I was too upset!!![/b][/quote]

Haven't seen the video, but the woman hitting the child is not acceptable. I'm a Shia Muslim, not Iranian, but Indian and some people in my community do practice self flagellation (the men), but never a child, and it's never forced. I do have to admit that I am not a fan of it. There are several mosques that I attend. One is run by Iranians, and another by Indians. The Iranian one does not allow this, but the Indian one does on Ashura.[/quote]
