Researchers said Wednesday that they were initially puzzled how 10 British men had become infected with a little-known virus, because the men hadn’t taken risks usually associated with the infection.
But then investigators learned they had participated in blood-shedding religious rituals — cutting or whipping themselves — in Iraq, Pakistan, India and the United Kingdom.

religious nut jobs
Because all cultures are equal.
Theocratic, not religious ritual, to be precise. Mohammedanism is a theocracy in as much as it purports to prescribe morals, laws and punishments for both adherents and everyone else.
Do they do this before they grope women or after they rape girls?

“Last year, a plainclothes police officer who works
on the Paris metro system admitted that the majority
of the arrests for sex attacks he had made were of
migrant men from North African backgrounds.”

“British”
yeah “”” British “”” men
that is like saying that a cat born in the horse barn is a horse
yesterday I saw a headline saying that a man from Repentigny ( a smallish town near Montreal city ) was caught after he sexually abused a dozen young girls
A Repentigny man? so I thought his name would be something like Paul Tremblay or Claude Bouchard or Francois Turcotte
nope his name is AMAR SHA’AT
you cannot get more ” quebecois” than that !
our media are the enemy
And your not just sha’at-in us about that.
Cutting and flogging one’s self is a sure sign of mental illness, but since these were musilms we already know there is mental illness. Probably the result of generations of inbreeding with first cousins.
Hey a lot of guys have a hot cousin they wish they weren’t related to, but we in the sane world know that it is wrong to have sex with relatives. Someday the muslim world may learn that same but of wisdom.
Stick to goats … it’s a safer option .. not for the goat .. but … well …
Hear fading theme from Twilight zone
Shi’ite Muslim “tatbir” (you can google that word if you wish).
Some of their ayatollahs condemn the practice while others condone it.
Im beginning to see the humour in the very sweeping ‘folkfest’ tag line.
