EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Islamic Fanaticism" showcases a powerful scene of Shia Muslims engaging in self-flagellation on the Day of Ashura. This commemorative ritual takes place in remembrance of the martyrdom of Imam Hussein at the Battle of Karbala. The image, captured by an anonymous French School artist from the 20th century, offers a glimpse into this deeply religious custom. Intriguingly depicted with vibrant colors and intricate details, the photograph captures the intensity and devotion exhibited by these worshippers. Covered in blood as a result of their self-inflicted wounds, they mournfully express their faith through this act of self-flagellation. This poignant illustration was originally featured in Le Petit Journal on April 11th, 1909. It serves as a stark reminder that religious observances can manifest themselves in various ways across different cultures and traditions. The print not only highlights Islamic fanaticism but also sheds light on the rich history and customs associated with Shia Islam. It invites viewers to contemplate themes such as sacrifice, faith, tradition, and devotion within the context of religion. Preserved within a private collection today, this remarkable artwork continues to captivate audiences with its evocative portrayal of religious fervor during one of Shia Islam's most significant occasions - The Day of Ashura at Karbala.
