Iraqi Shi'ite men have their scalps cut as they participate in Ashoura, the holiest day for their religion at the holy Shi’ite Kadhimiya Mosque. Thousands marched in processions through the streets as they demonstrate their self inflicted empathy for the pain suffered by Imam Hussein and 72 of his supporters when they were besieged for ten days and killed in a battle for the caliphate of the Muslim community outside of Karbala about 680 AD. |
