The day of Ashura - A pagan tradition practiced by muslims

[MrsColinConklin]

I am a Christian, I do not hate anybody. To be a true follower of Christ you must be like Him, meaning you love everybody. You shouldn*t believe in stereotypes.. they are hurtful.

[annNcso]

This is not ISLAM...

[bosasosolja]

@annNcso this is not islam! my own neighbor CONVERTED TO ISLAM IN THE CAPITAL OF CANADA OTTAWA CANADA!

this video is about the pagan SHIIITEISM FOLLOWERS

[FrontlineBadmanz]

[goldenmist12]

This is all shiaa and the go waaaaaaayyyyyyy overboard! you are not supposed to grieve over the death of someone for more then 3 days

[muslim1ahmed]

get your fact right !!!! these people are not Muslims 

[afrikanbadboy]

im a muslim im not a shiaism follower

the dude who made this video is a white guy any way christianity is the most racist religion on earth white christians hate me for being black!

shiaism is a pagan religion that claims to be muslims but they aint

white christianity is the false religion of god , god is not a racist and give your permission to enslave 100 000 000 million blacks and kill 100 millin blacks in the name of JESUS EH?

white people create hatred between human beings

[thedudefromthehood]

PRACTICED BY SHIA!!!!

FUCK THOSE SHIA!!! THEY ARE ONLY 8% OF ISLAM'S POPUULATION!!!

[a7i20ci7y]

@thedudefromthehood Actually, according to the Wiki article, it's closer to 38% of the Islamic population of the middle east.

[thedudefromthehood]

@a7i20ci7y yes, because most Muslims are not even Arabs. There are more Muslims in China than the whole Middle east.

[a7i20ci7y]

@thedudefromthehood Be that as it may, it's still a misrepresentation of facts. With their population, China might very well hold the largest population of many faiths, but that doesn't make them the unilateral interpreter of those faiths. Besides, they're all atheists. Right? To say that Shia are not Muslim because they constitute only 8% of the global population is not a strong argument. Islam is as Islam does.

[thedudefromthehood]

@a7i20ci7y I say they are not Muslims because they are against the teachings of the Koran. Hitting your self and hurting your self is a sin in Islam, and these idiots are using a RELIGIOUS holiday to beat them selves up. They curse the Sahaba and the Tabe'en. Look at Iran, they have a religious leader when Islam is against theocracy. Basically, Shia are not Muslims at all since they are against the Koran. Above all of that, because they are a small group in Islam. They can represent all Muslims.

[a7i20ci7y]

@thedudefromthehood Any state with morality police and Sharia law in place of secular common law is a theocracy in practice if not a theocracy in name.

[thedudefromthehood]

@a7i20ci7y Iran has theocracy. They have a supreme leader. And that is against the Quran.

They also do SHIRK. You can't pray for Ali and Hussein... this is all false. The prophet also said to pray FIVE times a day, not fuckin three. Where do you guys get all your information? you guys are on acid

[Sidepocket2600]

What you say in this video is mostly true but it has one major flaw, the fact that you are also too blind to see Judaism and Christianity are not immune to the same logic you did to Islam. EVERY SINGLE MODERN DAY RELIGION can trace it's customs and beliefs back to older ones. Old religions die so new ones can be born, lots of old men talking and young men dying.

[RobertBaral365]

You are physically animated, yet mentally dead. I see you awake but you are not really there. You walk around in a hollow shell. Living a life of mental stagnation. Seeking the comfort of reassuring lies. Your shallow mind, in a church of fools. Living a life of willing ignorance. Never thinking, forever dim. Nothing's more pathetic than a brainless drone. Vicious cycles of lies to cover lies. Just another robot in factory of falsehoods. A hollow puppet controlled by strings.

[Arabkid99]

btw I notices that you pulled a quote from the Bible talking about a group of people that called out to Baal. I apoligize for my ignorance but whose Baal?

[Arabkid99]

First of all these arent Muslims, these are Shia Muslims: NOT THE SAME THING!!!! And second, we Muslims (the Sunnis, which is the true Muslims) dont do this crap because its against our religion. Theres also a Hadith(prophetic saying) from Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) saying that anyone who shouts, shaves, rips his/her clothing, and slaps him/herself in grief is not of us!

[chantdownBABYL0N]

This sure looks similar to Catholic monks beating themselves with whips at the monestary somwhere,..they are thinking that by doing that they can achieve salvation which is so sooo hard to watch them being deceived, because Jesus Christ death and resurrection is all we need to Get saved not by works of our own but Christ's alone.

[JihadAgainstTheHater]

sorry to say it but the images of ashura you are showing is only practised by the shias who are a small minority and are considered to be hereticss by the majority of Muslims.

[noeiza]

with all your respect brother, i dont think youre going to win any muslims for Christ with this video, take this as constructive chriticism please!!i tell you this because "unfortunately"there is muslims in my family, and told them that they are teaching a doctrine of the antichrist, this religion, is pure violence, and i bealive that you canot fight fire with fire, i learned the hard way, i have to win my people with love.

take care

GBU

[havock89]

interesting. I am not sure I buy into this videos interpretation. But still good to know. Thanks for posting.

[Ammyai]

The question, "One way or another?", I suspect is too deep for the mind of muslims ;-)

[dying2self]

You are correct that muslims are deceived and have bought the lie hook line and sinker, but why do you use the devil's worldly music such as rage against the machine when Jesus Christ is not of this world in order to promote Jesus?

[Truelovereigns]

Matthew 28:19

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Baptise them in Jesus name, which is the name of The Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

[Truelovereigns]

1 Kings 18:19 (KJV)

Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table.

[boomya555]

Allah-used by pagan Meccans pre-Islamic Arabia.

Arab Christians-Allāh al-Āb

El or Eli (Hebrew: אל)"God"

Yahweh English transliteration distinctive personal name of the God of Israel.

[hopey2540]

And Muslims say we worship a prophet as Lord and is an abomination. What on earth do they think this is??? Muslims say we worship one god!! but what is this?? doing things in the name of Mohammads(A violent man) GRANDSON what HYPOCRITES it looks violent and definately unneccessary especially to involve children in such IDOILISTIC rituals This is definately not from the ONE TRUE GOD!

[nozybtch1]

TRUE Islam is submission to Allah...Allah being another name for God. Much in the same way Jesus=english, Yeshuwa=hebrew,Jesus(hay-seus)­=spanish. The word tells us there are many gods, but only ONE GOD.

[boomya555]

everyone knows islam is satanic except the muslims? lol

[MumzyTube]

Excellent video! It plainly explains this false teaching and it is my prayer that Muslims will see it in my favorites and click on it and know the truth! You presented it extremely well. It taught me things I didn't know fully, thank your for the explanation, I can use this when witnessing to Muslims.

God bless you and JESUS IS LORD OF ALL!

Amen! Amen!

[minorityop]

So you want Muslims, who are usually (if not always) strictly monotheistic, to exchange their alleged idolatry for Christian idolatry, instead?

Why do you worship a man as the Creator? A man is a creatURE, a creatION, not the CreatOR!

[VersatileMind4Christ]

Umm no! Have you studied the origin of the word "allah?"

Because if you knew, then you would know that is paganism indeed.

[minorityop]

Yes, I have, and I'm sure I understand it better than you. Allah has the same Semitic construction, A-L-H, as the Hebrew word for the Creator, ELoHim.

This makes perfect sense, given that Hebrew and Arabic are both Semitic languages.

But then, asking a Christian to really understand Hebrew (without injecting some pagan man-god worship) might be asking too much.

[boomya555]

wrong. oh wait - wrong!!!!!.

[minorityop]

Let's see some proof that I'm wrong.

[VersatileMind4Christ]

You're speaking from a prideful spirit. Just know anyone can research and get a theological degree. You lack understanding in the Spirit.

[minorityop]

Mysticism is what uneducated Christians use to lend some credibility to their IGNORANCE.

You use "the Spirit" (what is your Spirit's ORIGIN, can you even tell?!) and I'll study the TEXT that the Creator gave us, and at the end of the day, *I* will know more biblical truth than you.

Sure, you'll have more friends sympathizing with you, but that's only because so many of your friends are ALSO ignorant.

[irishxxkelt]

The Spirit is what God is.

[irishxxkelt]

Many Christians not only study Hebrew and Greek but also Aramaic.

[minorityop]

"Many", eh? Where do you get your figures?

Christians who actually study the Hebrew probably don't remain Christian for very long.

[irishxxkelt]

Christians who go to the bother of studying scholars are often the ones who involve themselves in new versions of the Word of God.

[minorityop]

WHAT?! That's one of the most uneducated things I've ever heard a Christian say, and unfortunately they come up with quite a few doozies.

You DO realize that at one time the Syriac Peshitta was a "new version"? It's the same with the Latin Vulgate and even the 1611 KJV!

"New versions" make the original languages ACCESSIBLE to others!

[irishxxkelt]

How do they revise aversion unless they have the original? When Committee decide a new version of the Bible is needed, they go to the Hebrew,Aramaic and Greek manuscripts. These people are experts in their various linguistics skills.

[minorityop]

Actually, many translations are translations of translations.

And there are no original manuscripts. There are only EARLY manuscripts. This is why Muslims boast about their Quran, saying they have the original text, when in actuality they have a text altered by the introduction of vowel pointings.

[boomya555]

yeah your ignorance is Overwhelming!!!.

go kiss your kabba.

[minorityop]

Hey genius, I'm not Muslim.

THREE exclamation marks followed by a period. Real educated, that.

[boomya555]

I don't care what you think you are.

everyone knows islam is satanic except the muslims? lol !!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

[minorityop]

You have interviewed "everyone", have you?

Your brain obviously hasn't been trained to recognize when your mouth is speaking falsehoods.

[minorityop]

Asherah squeezes her own breasts?

[bigwhammyRocks]

Islam is a religion of peace?

looks pretty bloody

[jokemasterslifer]

I read a tract once and it said "The Ten Commandments" blasted "The Queen of Heaven". I see what that means now. But seriously, cutting yourself in honor of a false phrophet's grandson? That's messed up.

[Yohum7]

Hey if your a muslim you can still accept Christ and continue being a Muslim.

Islamic Christians, Don't deny The Fathers Sacrifice, Isa was pefect, God incarnate in the flesh.

If you can be a human so can God. Unless you think you are greater then Him?

[EyeGates]

Many will kick against the goads on this one. I personally knew a Buddhist that completely understood Jesus Christ for who he was, and his redemption. However, after Christ he did not retain any mantle whether it was Christian or Buddhist because he felt titles categorized people. The heart is completely a God issue, the title means very little imho.

[Yohum7]

I totally agree, to many titles out there. You either believe in Christ or not.

Denominations are Demonic lol. Saying one mans interpretation is correct is saying all the others are incorrect. We should not give authority to interpretations. The only authority is God.

[minorityop]

That's real smart, given that the Creator gave the priests of Israel the authority to both read and INTERPRET His Word.

Christianity is a convenient religion for the stupid.

[OohTheHorror]

Wow, these muslims took that old saying 'everyone needs a hobby' a bit too far me thinks.

[sandrabrasil29]

ashura is not teh only pagan tradition they still practice,ramadan is also one of many,even before islam came about.

[purplepixelations]

Queen of heaven ...hmmm like Catholicism worship of Mary aka Queen of heaven.

[lordyunii7]

nice work on this video. God bless you

[LionPebs369]

Very informative post. 5*

[boomya555]

everyone knows islam is satanic except the muslims? lol.

[EyeGates]

This is a very interesting study. I went through it about a decade ago, got a kick out of it then, got a kick out of it now.

Nice job.

[ATLpirate]

Good video. Very poor choice of 'music.'

God bless.

[carmen286]

I deeply agree with you!

the music is...awful! :(

[jarbon5]

Me and the Ashura trees. When I see this video, I still laugh at that:)

[darknight7002]

Visit Amazon or any good book store to buy copies of the original Hebrew-English bibles!

Then lets see what Muslim dares say it is false.

Haha

[minorityop]

There are no "original Hebrew-English bibles", because English isn't one of the original Biblical languages!

Christianity: the Religion of the Dumb?

[irishxxkelt]

There are Greek-English interlineal New Testaments and I don't see why there aren't Hebrew-English interlineal Old Testaments.

[minorityop]

THERE ARE! But they're not "original Hebrew-English Bibles"!

[irishxxkelt]

What do you mean there are not original Hebrew-English Bibles?

[minorityop]

Would a hand-puppet help?

[darknight7002]

Also note while there are versions out there that are not as accurate as they should be the content of what being said is virtually the same.

And all versions claim that Jesus Christ said he is the only way to the Father.

[cornetcharlie]

Your video Zeke, captures images that are straight out of the Elijah account of his encounter with the priests of Baal. The frenzy, the blood, the futility of their own carnal efforts.- - and eventual destruction.

[Svhsgirl]

Ok..Thats very bothering. Lord Help them..

[irishxxkelt]

Thanks ChristianAnswers.......most enlightening video.

[habibelrasoul]

I do not know anything because they seek to denigrate Islam when they know very well that Islam is the only true religion of God and all other religions are false.

[irishxxkelt]

Your prophet told his followers to consult the Torah and the Injeel (Gospel)

[princessmarthajandio]

Those books were never written by my brothers of the past, but by false prophets.

[irishxxkelt]

Princess, many Muslims are quick to say that the Bible is corrupted but nobody has ever been able to disprove it. Even Moahmmed told his followers to consult the Torah (in the O.T.) and the Injeel (Gospels). Therefore you are calling Mohammed a liar who told his followers to counsult corrupted texts. Sorry Moses wrote the book of Deuteronomy.

[humkina]

That is not true I have 2 videos on that topic. Your quran does not say the bible is false or corrupt. It even says the quran is made a guardian of the bible and torah. So the only reasons muslims say it is corrupt because they need to justify being a muslim. look at my 2 videos titled the bible is not corrupt.

[princessmarthajandio]

And Allah and God are not one and the same person.

I have read the Bible three times and God has never been addressed as Allah.

[humkina]

What are you talking about? I am Christian. I have seen your channel. Are you a Muslim or a Christian. I am confused.

[princessmarthajandio]

I am was talking to our Muslim friend.

I am sorry to sidetrack you.

[lovejesusplz]

Your argument is not valid as it dosen't make sense. I don't know who you are refering to or what you are talking about. Besides, look at your website...you have no subscribers and your video is just images of google earth with arabic reciting sound.

[habibelrasoul]

Those dogs barking but Islam continues moving forward because the Islam is the only true religion of God and no one and nothing can prevent it.

[lovejesusplz]

Closing ears and denying the truth as usual? what do you have to say about the day of Ashura?

[habibelrasoul]

I repeat that these traditions have nothing to do with Islam religion of peace and love , these are only invented barbaric acts like the Passion of the Christ , bullfighting and other savagery being made in the name of freedom or democracy in certain countries of the free world.

So fear Allah, enough hatred and falsehood , remember that's undoubtedly to Him you shall all return so He will inform you of what you did. Allahs promise is true.

[irishxxkelt]

What on earth has bull fighting got to do with democracy? In the country most associated with bullfighting, it was ruled by Franco a dictator.

[AnonymousBChurch]

2 Peter 2:1

[irishxxkelt]

Sorry Islam is the fastest diminishing religion in the Middle East.There is also a clip from the "Dispatches" programme showing some of the 3000 known ex-Muslims in England worshipping in Urdu, Farsi and Dari.

[minorityop]

That's because it is the predominant religion in the Middle-East! When you're the #1 name-brance it is REAL EASY to lose "market share".

Man, there are some really stupid people commenting on this video!

[habibelrasoul]

Please, do not mix traditions with the religion of God.

[lovejesusplz]

tradition? a pagan tradition and you call your religion a TRUE religion?

[hopey2540]

Whats the difference they do this in the name of Allah???

[habibelrasoul]

Allah did not say to make nonsense in his name because He is the God of peace and love.

Say: Verily, those who invent a lie against Allah will never be successful

And on the Day of Resurrection you will see those who lied against Allah (ie attributed to Him sons, partners) their faces will be black"

The liar will have the flesh of his cheeks torn to the back of his head.

To Allah you will all return, so He will inform you of what you did

[minorityop]

You worship a man as God in the Name of a man.

Explain to me how your Christian IDOLATRY (which was FORBIDDEN in Acts 15!) is better than Islamic MONOTHEISM?!

[boomya555]

your a Jew and don't even believe in Jesus,

shame on you.

[minorityop]

Shame on me for obeying the commandment to not worship a god the children of Israel did not know?

[boomya555]

your a heathen plain and simple.

[VersatileMind4Christ]

I'm done with you. Peace

[VersatileMind4Christ]

LOL why are you so angry? You're all about proof and evidence. Jesus Christ said an adultereous generation ask for a sign and they will not be given one. The sign of Jonah.

Man google "Al' allat." The generic Arabic word for god is ilah, but Allah means "The god. The historical origin of "allah" had 3 pagan goddesses. Harvard University scholars and Cambridge researchers have books and articles on that.

[minorityop]

Maybe you don't get angry when people speak lies, preferring rather to embrace those lies?

I-L-aH is the same construction as A-L-H.

"THE god" is the same use of "the" as when you say "THE Messiah" or "THE Christ".

I recommend you look up "God" in a Lexicon and ask yourself what those Arabic words next to the Hebrew word "Elohim" are.

Are you aware that Christian bibles in Arabic used the word "Allah" in place of the word "God"? Or that "Gahd" is the name of the Babylonian deity of fortune?

[boomya555]

yeah look it up ,its no where near the same.

[irishxxkelt]

Jesus rose from the dead. As far as people know, Mohammed is still in a tomb in Mecca.

[minorityop]

First, there is no legitimate historical evidence (i.e., contemporaneous eyewitness testimony from impartial observers) for Yeshua's rising from the dead.

Second, a prophet is not REQUIRED to rise from the dead.

In other words, your "argument" has absolutely nothing to do with anything.

Lazarus supposedly rose from the dead. Do you worship him?

[irishxxkelt]

Impartial hmm, well despite having a Roman guard detail on the tomb,Jesus was not in the tomb. We do not worship Lazarus because he was a man only. I know a girl who raised a 14 year old girl who had died from cancer, happens all the time with followers of Jesus.

[minorityop]

Sure it does! That's why Christians keep dying, because "rising from the dead" "happens all the time with followers of Jesus".

You're clearly in a fantasy world.

You read a story, written by Christians, saying there was a tomb and that it was empty, and you tell other people that the proof of Christianity is an empty tomb that 1) you can't identify 2) that you take on faith was empty 3) that you take on faith was empty because of resurrection 4) that you take on faith was ever "filled".

[irishxxkelt]

Whether you believe or not is irrelevant. It happens and it continues to happen as Jesus said we are lights in the world. Considering that the pagan Roman writers wrote about the happenings in Roman Palestine proves that it happened. The more Christians were persecuted, the more the movement grew.

[minorityop]

Actually, it's just proof of the historical fact that the Roman Flavians, Vespasian, Titus and Domitian, created the religion you call "Christianity".

[irishxxkelt]

LOL considering they persecuted the early believers, that is a very funny statement.

[minorityop]

The earliest "believers" were called Ebionites, a word used in the Dead Sea Scrolls for self-identification. The Romans wiped out the Dead Sea community, so look to them for your "early believers".

The Flavian family's "joke" wasn't open to the illiterate.

[irishxxkelt]

The Ebionites were around Mohammed's time as Khadja's cousin was an Ebionite.

[minorityop]

I've read that there were some who may have lived as late as Mohammed, but the Ebionites of the Dead Sea Scrolls pre-existed Christianity by about 100 years. Evidently, some of them adopted some Christian beliefs.

[al147316]

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

John 14:6

[lovejesusplz]

amen!

[shrektheninja]

wow, nice man

[Yokeup]

Great job brother, this is just sick and disgustiing and they got their butt kicked on Mt. Carmel and why they celebrate it shows their ignorance. Thank you for this.

[loveualatte]

B-R-A-V-O! Awesome video! God bless you. Preach on!

[lowcoststore]

Great Video.....

[humkina]

Congratulations. Your video was so good that I am making it my featured video.

[minah99]

This is a Shia practice taken from the Christians and not a part of the religion taught by Muhammad (saw).

[islamsins]

LOL!!!!!!!! Yes, we Christias often butcher our scalps on Christmas and Easter.

Morons - muslims are all morons, no matter what sect they belong to.

[lovejesusplz]

Please don't make any statement that doesn't have any solid proof. I can say whatever I want but would you trust me if I didn't show you any proof?

[AnonymousBChurch]

minah99 this is Shia not Sunni? OK, where and when do you say this practice originated in Christianity?

[habibelrasoul]

minah99

You are right

[lovejesusplz]

no, minah99 just expressed her thoughts but not the truth. he is just in a denial

[hopey2540]

The christians you say do this do it in vain my friend its not from God its done to appese their own vanity and of course its a muslims duty to deny the evidence thats what they do best deny deny deny!!!!

[Dangelooo]

Paganism and lies it's all Islam is about ...

[AnotherBrotherMark]

excellent.

never before put two and two together on this one.

the truth always adds up and has the ring of.

[AnonymousBChurch]

I have heard of this festival, is this mainstream Sunni or Shia? It reminds me of the Phillipine Catholic cultists that crucify themselves (obviously the official Catholic church does not approve).

The whipping themselves is the same as Opus Dei Catholics though, though I don't think Opus Deites ever draw blood.

Creepy and vile. Islam is false and dangerous.

[codyrico]

Oh my goodness!

[jarbon5]

I was wondering what an Asherah pole was.  I thought that it was a pole that was made from the wood of an Asherah tree that the heathen nations of the OT (and the Jews themselves at times in the OT) would worship, like some form of Druidic worship. Now, it makes sense why God wanted the Asherah poles destroyed in the OT. Cool:)

[AnonymousBChurch]

Yep. The Koran itself is basically a rewrite of unorthodox Hebrew/Christian/Samaritan/Ale­xandrian writings mixed with indigenous Arab paganism. Exactly the same as Mormonism is basically a rewrite of the KJV mixed with some settler's ideas about Native paganism and Freemasonry.

Joseph Smith in his earlier days had dabbled in Islam as well (what he could understand of it) and even said he would write a "New Koran"

[xchampx]

i look at it the exact same way! amen!

[Dangelooo]

There are also many Manicheistic influences in the Islam.

[baghdadirak]

so why he didnt write anew one?the answer he cant cz it is book from god.also nonfaitfúl people said till jesus the same thing that bible is from moses.quran contain facts that still nowadays not refuted and you can read on this carefully before you say that quran is arewritting.

[hopey2540]

The muslims can never believe anything in the bible because they dont agree with the basic principal of Original Sin Adams sin passed on to all of mankind. Thats why they cant see the redemptive power of the Cross and until the see that they will live in darkness. Pray for all Muslims. They would rather beat themselves in the name of Muhammads grandson?
