Marking the month of Muharram. A Shia Islam tradition. Where you see them beating themselves with swords and what not in the streets as well. Observance of Ashura, recounting the story Karbala. These rituals might have a place in Iran, or Iraq, or other Shia dominant nations. But it has no place in Britain. Or rather it should not have any place in Britain.
But we allow it. Because. Liberalism. Everyone is allowed to exercise their religion. Even if the end goal of their religion is to one day conquer the whole of West, and overcome all Judeo-Christian nations.
There are a lot of things we need to rethink. But we have made our secular liberal values into a religion of its own, which is serving now as a parasitic ideology, making us commit civilizational suicide. I fear, you will not learn. Till sharp end of the blade caresses your neck ever so gently, as you kneel to beg mercy, from barbarians who very less use or understanding of it. On the otherhand, maybe I am exaggerating. We will find out.
Strong stuff Momus.
All this is in plain sight.

October 7th Israel.
Believe.
