The word Ashura means 10, and the holiday is the tenth day of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar. Like everything else associated with Islam, it is violent, bloody and repulsive to observe. Muslims celebrate the day by fasting, flash mob rioting, and cutting themselves – self flagellation – until they are soaked in their own blood. Muslims attempt to self-atone with their own blood which can never take away sin and is in itself a blasphemous act.
