You guys may be sorry to know that you missed the festival of Ashoura over the weekend.I don't know but this holiday just doesn't scream 'jolly' to me.
The faithful gather to beat themselves with swords to show their grief over the 7th-century killing of the Prophet Muhammad's grandson, Imam Hussein.
Not for nothin' but that's somewhere around 1400 years ago. I may not be a Shiite Muslim, but I think it's time to move on, although I wish I had the first aid concession in Basra.
