Answer 1

It was a Shia celebration. Sunnis ( who are the majority of Muslims) do not do that. It's like the Catholics are the only branch of Christianity that believes that they are literally eating the flesh and blood of Jesus in communion which is only symbolic for the other denominations.

The Remembrance of Muharram (Arabic: احتفال محرم or مناسبة محرم) is an important period of mourning in the Shi'ite branch of Islam.

The remembrance marks the anniversary of the Battle of Karbala when Husayn bin Ali, a grandson of Muhammad, was martyred. Muharram is the first month of the Islamic lunar calendar. The Shi'ite sect is the main sect that commemorates the death of Husayn ibn Ali by arranging 'majalis' (gatherings) to review Islamic teachings and to commemorate Husayn's sacrifice. The mourning reaches its climax on the tenth day, known as Ashura.

This event is observed in the first month of the Hijra year, Muharram. Mourners, both male and female, congregate together (in separate sections) for sorrowful, poetic recitations performed in memory of the martyrdom of Husayn, lamenting and grieving to the tune of beating drums and chants of "Ya Husayn." Passion plays are also performed, reenacting the Battle of Karbala and the suffering and death of Husayn at the hands of Yazid. It is not a festival -- the event is the saddest event for Shi'a Muslims and it is a period of intense grief and mourning.

Many of the male participants congregate together in public for ceremonial chest beating (matham) as a display of their devotion to Husayn and in remembrance of his suffering. In some Shi'a societies, such as those in Bahrain, Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, Lebanon and Iraq, some male participants inflict actual wounds upon themselves, using knives or razors swung upon chains [1]. This practice is viewed as being extreme and is discouraged and banned in some countries with significant Shi'a populations, such as Iran.

Answer 2

It could be anything. It could be the Shitties (some of them are really really really sick n they are the ones who are like "Jihad Jihad. They are shown more in the media)

Or it could be PROPOGANDA. I mean, how do u know they were really muslims? anyone can dress up like anyone else, no problem in the present world.

Islam forbids killing of innocent people. The Qur'an says:

“ … If anyone slew a person unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land it would be as if he slew the whole humanity: and if anyone saved a life it would be as if he saved the life of the whole humanity.” (Al-Qur'an 5:32)

Killing any innocent human being, whether Muslim or non-Muslim is not allowed in Islam. Even in the circumstances of war, this aspect is not to be ignored. The first caliph of Islam, Abu Bakr As-Siddique (R) is reported to have commanded Usama ibne Zaid (R):

“I command you to do ten things: you must not kill a woman or a child, or an elderly person; do not cut down trees, or vandalize homes, or wound a sheep or camel except if you must eat it; do not drown a palm tree, or burn it, do not be treacherous; do not be cowardly; and you will pass by people who have devoted themselves to monastery life: leave them alone with their devotions.” (Tarikh At-Tabari, V.3, p.210)

Thus killing children or innocent people are not allowed in Islam


"If one amongst the pagans ask thee for asylum,grant it to him, so that he may hear the word of Allah; and then escort him to where he can be secure that is because they are men without knowledge."
[Al-Qur’an 9:6]

The Qur’an not only says that a Mushriq seeking asylum during the battle should be granted refuge, but also that he should be escorted to a secure place. In the present international scenario, even a kind, peace-loving army General, during a battle, may let the enemy soldiers go free, if they want peace. But which army General will ever tell his soldiers, that if the enemy soldiers want peace during a battle, don’t just let them go free, but also escort them to a place of security?

This is exactly what Allah (swt) says in the Glorious Qur’an to promote peace in the world.

Answer 3

That was most likely Muharram; or the grievance day for the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, one of the famous personalities in Islam, claimed by Shities (Iran / Hezbollah are Shiites by the way) as the prophet. He was supposedly killed in Qarbala (now in Iraq) with his progeny on this day. There is a 40 day mouring period during the month where in Shiites perform all this self-pain exercise to show their grief towards the incidence which happened somewhere in very early days of Islam.

Well, the rest of views in other answers above still do remain in place.

Answer 5

I believe this is a Shihite practice and is frowned on by other Moslems. Anyway, what's with this 'Let's get Moslems'?! Why mention the word 'Moslem' at all? The world is made-up of evil people, good people, misled people - of all religions and nationalities. It's not religion that's spoilt the world, this has been done by people who have corrupted religion for their own evil purposes.

Answer 6

Are you sure that the cutters were Muslims?or They were doing according to Islam?Many good and bad people are in a religion that's why they are called sinners and killers.
Don't think that what Islam says.

Answer 7

I saw a video of Muslims cutting the throats of innocent people. What does that mean?
Do I have to explain it to you?

Answer 8

I don't care who they are - if I saw evidence someone was doing that to a child here in the U.S. even for religious purposes - I would turn them over to the proper authorities and contact the news media.

Answer 9

its grusome if its true! but kindly note that passing on such info to others on the internet only promotes religious intolerance, racism and hatred. i am a practising christian and as much as i dont like islam and its doctrines, muslims can be very good people. if what you say that you saw is true and the quran supports it, then thats quite unfortunate for them.

Answer 10

Well, it is a shi'ite Muslim festival. It is to mourn the death of an Imam. Take note that shi'ite Muslims make 15% of all Muslims.

Answer 11

Probably some form of self-punishment.

The shi'ites beat themselves with sticks as a self-punishment because of a betrayal of Mohammed. So a muslim friend told me :)
