Why insulting prophet Muhammad?!

'Cos he's a dessicated follower of fashion.

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is)

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is)

Holy desecration you just disrespessicated the DESICCATION. This is outrageous. Fatwa to follow.

Muslim1. Today is a holy day I believe. I just saw demonstators in Iran symbolically whipping themselves. In Gaza a banner featuring the decapitated head of someone stuck on a spike. Other demonstrators waving real swords about with (probably not real) blood on them. Also a horse covered in a sheet with several spears or arrows apparantly sticking out of it with lots more blood. Whats going on? And why all the blood?

Regarding what you saw on TV, the Shia Muslims commemorate the day when Hussein (May Allah be pleased with him), the grand son of the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) was martyred.
The violent celebrations are denounced by the majority of the scholars of Islam. Indeed, we are so sorry for the way Imam Hussein (May Allah be pleased with him) was martyred, but this does not mean we need to punish ourselves for something we did not commit.
Instead, we should fast Ashoora to celebrate the day in which the believers (Moses (on whom be peace) and the Israelites) crossed the Red Sea and pharaoh's army was drowned in the water.

And Allah knows best.

I would guess by his posts, Steve, that they are mainly Shi'ite.

I am a Muslim who calls for the unity of the Islamic Nation.

Can you speak for yourself or are you confined to the metaphor of that which you have read? Can you say anything that you have thought through critically or is it simply a programmed response?

Please, show us a sign of life.

I think this is a bloody good idea.....think how nice the world would be, if we all just walked around and quoted Harry Potter at each other.

Muslim1, on another thread you wrote

"Ashoorah, or the 10th of Muharram commemorates the day in which the believers (Israelites) crossed the Red Sea and pharaoh's army was drowned in the water. This is what I meant by "the victory of Moses (Peace be upon him) over the pharaoh"."

and you said much the same a few posts back on this thread. So what has Ashoorah got to do with celebrating the martyrdom of Hussein?
