As is quite common at such times, 'self castigation' is practised, it is a similar tradition (though more dramatic) to the 'Rending of one's Clothes' in times of grief.
Hardly a suitable subject to be held up to ridicule I would have thought, another small example of the great gulf which divides the East from the West.
I am so glad that I, as a non believer, have never participated in the act of ridiculing those that are.
I am convinced that the West could learn much in terms of 'respect' from some of the Eastern nations.
Castigation, rendering one's clothes, Eliko? Hardly a suitable subject to be held up to ridicule?
We're a bit sniffy tonight, aren't we.
I put it down to Sufi's not able to control their auto erotic behaviour when in crowds, mostly consisting of old beardies and repressed young males whipping themselves up into religious frenzy.
God knows what would have happened if he'd starting stripping off!

I've managed to get hold of the script, it goes:-
Where's my hat, where's my hat?
Where's my hat, where's my hat?
Where's my hat, where's my hat?
Where's my hat, where's my hat?
Where's my hat, where's my hat?
Where's my hat, where's my hat?
Where's my hat, where's my hat?
Where's my hat, where's my hat?
Where's my hat, where's my hat?
etc, etc, etc, etc.
