Anyway

My concerns

چون ايران نباشد تن من مباد

  I see the comments and this video is what happens in every town in every corner of Iran, although this video is a little ridiculous but I have seen my brother get ready for daste time and time again,, we are from an educated family and go to any daste and you will see it filled with University Students from all political walks, Ashura and our religous practices are part of us, irrespective of this hellish regime..

So the comments that claim this is relative to the regime or these people do not deserve ballot boxes why do you assume they are pro AhmadiNejad? you are very mistaken and very out of tune with your country.. Azadari is a way for people with Ghamo Gose ke daruneshuno khali konan.. I promise you many of those young people this Ashura and I will be there will be crying deeply for our shaheeds.,. yes there are people who will cry for Imam Hossein but most have a much fresher pain a much more real pain.. of our Shaheeds, Neda, Sohrab,...... x100 and Ashura is part of our culture do not think it will leave with the IRI it was there with the SHAH

 they have not taken many of our peoples faith. Remember the green Movement is by many iranians that will not seperate from their faith Please do not take this comment to accept personal beating or flogging not at all and in many towns in Iran Gammeh Zani and Zanjeer Zani has become illegal and I personally think its insanity however, do not equate these holidays or practices to the IRI.. To do so is intellectuayl dishonesty this is the tenants of Shia Islam , and they will stay , if  people think when the IRI falls this will all go,.. they are sadly very mistaken and if they are taken by force we will deal with another wave of Islamists.... and cycle between Islam and modernity and this old Dance will begin again

Islamic imbeciles...

They should take it a bit further and beat themselves to death, so eventually the whole world would be free of these Islamic imbeciles...

brainwashing at its

lowest form!!

what a bunch of bs.....I consider myself a devout muslim, and no where in the koran does it say to beat yourself for this nonsense.....

this has been the mullahs/akhoonds' trick to keep the people of iran back in the 1400s.....and to promote misery/pain/sadness as a virtue....they want people to think that to be joyful and happy and having fun as a mortal sin.....

the akhoonds are all about nohe, roze, and other bs

well, let me tell you mullahs, you can't fool people anymore....your time is up.....and it's been 30 years too much!

This is more dangerous than opium.

Ever heard of the Folsom Street Fair?

Who is "us"? And who is "they"?

Every culture has its more devoted (extreme) elements. 

Perhaps I'm a bit more widely traveled than most here. And maybe I've been exposed to a greater diversity of culture and cultural expression.

So these fellows practice masochism as a form of Shia religious expression. In America, masochism is a public form of sexual expression at widely attended festivals, such as the Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco, California. See for yourself!:

آزادی بیان یعنی اینکه اینها هم حق دارند که تو سرشون بزنند

.

من تا زنده هستم از حق اینها دفاع میکنم که آزاد باشند که تو سر خودشون بزنند.

تا می توانید بزنید تو سرتون!
خاک بر سرتون!
مرده شورتون!
قمه بزنید بمغزتون!
آزاد باش ای ایران!

State of Trance

This sort of state of trance has been around for thousands of years. People become so overtaken by the thought of the indvidual (Hossein in this case), that they don't really feel the pain.

Despite its "crazy" appearance, it probably is good therapy...

At least they are selfless enough to do this..

The real morans  (the most dagerous)are those who lie about being religious.

Islamic Rap!

Bunch of loonies

running after a dead (and idiot if I may add) 1400 year old A-rab icon.  And anyone doubts why we should save Iran by removing these psycopaths?????

Sounds familiar

Doesn't he sound like Siavash Ghomeishi a little bit and the song like Ghomeishie's songs and lyrics?  Funny!

koss khol ha in action

   Rituals for the masses to get their sorrow and agression out of their system .

What a freak show.

Back in the day, I would have joined them in this madness. Infact, i have done my share of sineh zani and zanjir zani. But the trend of the past 5 years has awakened the more moderate "azadar"s. It has turned into a circus and the harder you beat yourself the more virgins you seem to reserve for after life.

Anyway, the perfomer is seyyed mohammad javad zakeri and is now dead for a couple of years.

What a gory Freak Show!

I am Nauseous.

same paractice, different religion

this practice has an eerie similarity to appalachian evangelicals in the u.s. where they speak in tongues, dance, put themselves in harm (with poisonous snakes), and believe all their craziness has spiritual and healing powers.

Jim Jones crowd...

And why do we think  this crowd deserves the logic of a ballot box ?
