Look at some of these pictures. Some of these guys wake up on the day of Ashoora or Tasooa and they are like hmmm, I am just going out of the house and be be shemr today or dress up ridiculously as some Bedouin Arab and walk around looking like an idiot...

tazieh has been around for many years.

It is actually pretty entertaining part of ashoora.


but going to rozeh is where you hear alot of unreasonable things such "emam hossein enghadar shamshir zad ta khoon ta paye asbash umad bala."

I'm a big fan of Shemr (s.a). He was a true gentleman, a poet and one helava military commander.

But I don't like that idiot Harmaleh (?), an avid archer (sniper) like him should always target the Commander of adversary forces instead of the throat of a 6 month old prince.

When I drink water I always say salam bar Jazid laanaet bar Hosein.
What would have happened if shemr lost that war? They would probebly
have forced west to accept Islam. Edison were hanged before he
finds electrocity.

Zob jon..I didn't see or hear any joint / tekieye gettin' political..

i've seen this scene for some 8 yrs now..and i can tell u for sure this yr looked more like partying or sort of carnival and lot less azAdari than yrs before...one thing that seemed has gone thru much change was Mad'dahi..I mean this yrs songs & beats were much more rythmic and i'd say dance / movement oriented..let me just say that for a older guy (me) it wasn't boring at all..
