Do they beat themselves even at funerals?? Can't stop, won't stop.

I didn’t see a coffin… it’s just as likely to be a party as it is a funeral for some of them. From them it’s usually the regular people that pitifully beat themselves – never the affluent/elite.

I only watched the first couple of minutes before I posted and in the beginning it looks like they are facing something which looks like a coffin. You're right, it's probably some kind of normal gathering.

Anyway, the whole atmosphere looks so devilish. Even the melody of whatever it is that they are singing sounds satanic.

Is it true that Sufism was inspired by the Shi'ites in Fatimid Egypt??

What they are doing in that video kind of resembles the sufi Hadrah's.
