IRAQ-RELIGION-ISLAM-ARBAEEN

An aerial view taken with a fish-eye lens shows Shiite Muslims flocking to the shrine of Imam Hussein, on January 14, 2012 during the religious procession in the holy city of Karbala, 110 kilometers (70 miles) south of Baghdad, which is the annual mourning rituals of Arbaeen, marking 40 days after the Ashura anniversary commemorating the slaying of Imam Hussein, one of Shiite Islam's most revered figures, by the armies of the caliph Yazid in 680 AD. In recent days, throngs of mourners have overflowed Hussein's shrine in Karbala, demonstrating their ritual guilt and remorse for not defending him by beating their heads and chests in rituals of self-flagellation.
