London Mosque Bans Hardline Muslims From Performing Brutal Ritual

What crazy ritual would you get out of a "hardline" Buddhist, sitting quietly? Story out of South London, England:

A group of 14 people have been banned from taking part in the ritual self-flagellation, known as zanjeer zani, within a mile of the Idara-e-Jaaferiya mosque in Tooting, South London.

The practice – so brutal that it has been banned in Iran – involves men thrashing their own backs with whips carrying five sharp blades.

According to the mosque’s authorities, a breakaway group staged the ritual each year without permission – leading to the court action and eventual banning order. Cont.
