I FIND IT FUNNY THE FACT THAT PEOPLE TAKE THE SUBJECT OF A VIDEO SUCH AS THIS SO PERSONALLY. PININI HAS APOLOGISED IF ANYONE FOUND IT OFFENSIVE BUT THE FACT THAT A PERSON LIKE GEORGE BUSH BRANDS MUSLIMS AS TERRORIST! DOESNT ANYONE EVER FIND THAT OFFENSIVE? IF YES WHAT ACTIONS HAVE YOU TAKEN TOWARDS THAT I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW? PEOPLE NEED TO GROW OUT OF LITTLE THINGS SUCH AS THIS AND LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE.

umm, Ok so I found it funny. When I saw the tittle I knew it could be something that was obviously going to be mocking some muslims, but hey, what if the pope was there instead of that mulana? No one would have complained even if there were christian readers here : I am Muslim, just plain muslim, I don't identify myself with any sect as I find good things in shias and good things in sunnis so why chose? I think we have to learn to laugh at ourselves a little. I think Toseef clearly said he expected us to see the funny side of it, if you knew it could offend you why look? I mean, you could see very clear the still picture it was something religious. I have seen worst things than this related to the Pope and christianity and guess what, I was a christian and found it funny and many people did, because sometimes you have to take the seriousness of this world and have a good laugh, If we all laughed more often the world wouldn't be so crazy I am sure of that. I don't think T wanted to offend anyone here, just to make you have a laugh!

This is pretty bizarre....First U put something that's very sacred to one of the sects of Islam and then You have the audacity of mortifying it... askin ur readers to see the funny side...Bravo.The rehotric coming out of a muslim is pretty appalling.since when u became the decider to shun or make fun of one of the sects of Islam...
So let me get this ... what you are suggesting in a way , that all those pictures depicting prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H)as a terrorist shd be taken nuthing more than a Humorr ? cos after all they were jst mere pics rite?..and by the way did see ur comments on shawn's blog.. instead of defending your religion you r joining them.
Be a Good Muslim.. Or the least we all can do is.. jst act.Can't we even do that..Oh btw I'm a Sunni..It has nuthing to do with religion or sects.. what is wrong is wrong.Period

for samosa :

Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) said: "The deceased suffers when someone bewails loudly"

Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) said : " Two things in people are Kufr ( Ignorance ), one is to ridicule someone on his/her family genealogy, and the other is bewailing loudly the dead "

further all muslims shia or sunnis consider Imam Hussain (AS)a martyr and it is not allowed to mourn a martyr because he is not considered dead.

I have been to a lot of majlises although I am not a shia myself and all that goes on in there has nothing to do with Islam.maybe its time you learnt about your religion.

Woah (is the word that comes to mind).

Let�s go through everything I�ve said here �

>> Couldn�t stop laughing when I saw this, hoping you see the funny side as much as I do << So I saw it at Shawn�s blog, found it amusing (because the audio is dubbed), and posted it here. Yes, I can tell the guy is a molvi but I did say �hoping you see the funny side�. If I was all serious about it (like you are) I wouldn�t have put it up.

Now onto the comments.

Mine �

>> These people are shia muslims << Obviously true.

>> As far as I know this happens once a year << Yep, have read about it now, and it is once a year (at Muharram time).

>> � go to the mosque and beat themselves up (even using knife's and swords to draw blood) << I admit I could have phrased this better, however it was a quick reply. Nonetheless, above mentioned is true. Shia�s do go the mosque and cause harm to themselves (I know this because Aapa�s friend is shia).

>> I think its to show thier devotion or something << Once again true.
From the link you gave �This piece is an attempt to capture some trace of the flavor and atmosphere of the matam portion of the majlis of Imam Husayn (a.s.).�

>> It wouldn't be right of me to learn about others religion when I don't know much about my own << Boba took care of this one (thanks Bob)

Yours �

>> I think it's time you started learning about ALL religions << If I haven�t learnt mine (to which I think) a satisfactory level then there�s not much point in divulging into others. Besides, I�m a confused enough guy as it is. I don�t want to be mentally confused, ha.

>> When you've got a title like 'Muslim Rave Party' Toseef, I don't think I'm choosing to be offended, you ARE offending a lot of people by that << I didn�t pick the title, nicked it off the guy who posted in on YouTube. Anyway, it says 'Muslim Rave Party' and not something like 'Shia Rave Party'.

>> And also laughing at other people's religious practises. I don't understand what part of that ISN'T offensive << I�m guilty of this one, hook line and slinker. Though I have yet to come across someone who�s never had a laugh at someone else�s expense (taking into consideration celebrities etc).

>> Honestly, what exactly are you trying to achieve with this post? << To bring a bit of humor to life. What other reason could there be?

As for the rest of your comments �

I�m a guy who chooses to look on the humorous side of things instead of going all serious and making a face over the issue, it helps me in the way I live my life (try it sometime). Anyone who knows me will tell you this.
Before your comments I didn�t think anything of the guys in the video, simply that the guy who chose to use that particular audio to go with the video had cleverly amused viewers.

>> This is going to be my last post here Toseef << Undoubtedly I will be sad to see you go, you�ve been a great blog-mate and will surely be missed. I do think it�s petty that it�s over something like this.

>> feel free to remove my blog from your list of links << I�m a straightforward shoot-you-in-the-balls kinda guy, if you don�t like the link love just say and it�ll be gone. Does this also mean I�m not allowed to visit and leave comments?

>> I choose not to communicate with them anymore << Good for you, although with this post I think you�re taking it to an extent not need be.

>> An apology and retraction of this post would have exemplified ample respect but clearly you do not possess the ability to do that >> Fair doos. I apologize for finding humor in other people�s religion - as for retracting a post, haven�t done it yet and don�t want to start now.

>> The past was good T << I don�t mind leaving it at that.

He doesnt have to apologise for anything - it's his bloga nd i think you have the right to post anything, even if it does offend people. Samosa, I'm kinda surprised ur acting this way.. i dont think he posted this to purposefully offend people and i think what he meant by " It wouldn't be right of me to learn about others religion when I don't know much about my own." was that he is not a practising muslim, he is not an expert on his own religion, therefore he feels that he does not have the right to express his opinions about other people's opinions/religion. He's gone out at the mo, but I'll tell him to reply.

Link 1:

Link specifically about majlis and mataam (subject you are mocking in this post):

http://www.islamfrominside.com/Pages/Articles/Mourning%20Husayn%20(Matam%20for%20Husayn).html

This is going to be my last post here Toseef, and feel free to remove my blog from your list of links. I've come accross many folks with disrespectful ideas about Shias (like yours), and in respect of those who have suffered as a consequence of those mindsets, I choose not to communicate with them anymore. An apology and retraction of this post would have exemplified ample respect but clearly you do not possess the ability to do that.

The past was good T, Inshallah one day I hope you grow wise enough to have the ability to learn from your mistakes.
Goodbye,

If you make a mistake Toseef, own up to it and learn from it, instead of telling people that it's their choice to be offended. Don't let pride get in the way of admitting to something you've done wrong. Better to learn it now, when you're young. Or I can assure you the road ahead is going to be terribly hard. I don't know how you've managed to grow up in England and maintain this pathetic prejudice attitude. I still cannot beleive someone whose blog I've been following for so long has turned out to be like this. I'm in complete dismay.

I just woke up and later on today I'll post information. What kind of an ignorant statement is that?
"It wouldn't be right of me to learn about others religion when I don't know much about my own."
What wouldn't be right? Learning!!?? Oh God! I can't believe you said that. I think it's time you started learning about ALL religions.

When you've got a title like 'Muslim Rave Party' Toseef, I don't think I'm choosing to be offended, you ARE offending a lot of people by that. And also laughing at other people's religious practises. I don't understand what part of that ISN'T offensive. Describing people by stating "go to the mosque and beat themselves up". Do you actually think that is a respectful statment to make? And what authority are you to make judgements on people like this? Clearly not a credible one and better not to stick your nose in things you know nothing about.

Honestly, what exactly are you trying to achieve with this post? To make people laugh or to piss them off? Have a little respect. Making a mockery out of religion is not funny, expecially considering that there is enough of that right now.

Unbelieveable.

Samosa, yes I knew from before that you are a Shia. It wouldn't be right of me to learn about others religion when I don't know much about my own.

Care to set the facts straight and say how I'm misinforming people? It's obvious you know more than me about this.

Anyway, I didn't put this post up to offend anyone - those who are, are only choosing to be.

Wow, Toseef I have not seen the video but I know exactly what this is. Since Shias happen to be one the largest sects, after sunnis I think you need to take the time to learn a little and inform yourself a better. I didn't expect this from you at all. I am very dissapointed indeed. Please get your facts straight before you put sensitive matter on your blog and then proceed to misinform your visitors.

And yes, in case you're wondering, I am a Shia. Unless you missed my very recent posts about loosing my dad.

These people are shia muslims. I don't know much about this sect in Islam but as far as I know this happens once a year where they (the males of the family) go to the mosque and beat themselves up (even using knife's and swords to draw blood). I think its to show thier devotion or something.
