And although he lashed himself to death with blade tipped chains in a crowded downtown street, he attract ed very little attention. For Husain died on the 10th day of Muharram - mourning - when it is quite common to see men of Shiah sect flog themselves, slash themselves and mortify their bodies in the memory of an early Moslem martyr. Slaughter Recalled It is during Muharram that they recall the slaughter of Imam Husain and 71 of 1 his followers in the Kerbala des ert centuries ago. As the grandson of the Prophet Mohammed, Husain refused to recognize a usurp er as caliph. Moslem history says his small band was cap tured by. a 4,000-man army, deprived of water, .tortured and slain one by one, with Husain killed last of all.

People jammed the street from wall to wall. 0 t Men and boys raced through the crowds blowing billows of burning gasoline from their mouths, while oth ers twirled flaming baskets of charcoal at the end of long poles. In the background were the throb of drums and the chant of dull-eyed danc ers, . flailing the air with knives, red to their waists in blood. Shrines Lowered . The procession moved slowly out to the bay, where the shrines were slowly, low ered into the water to drift away. Muharram is an occasion for violence, but Moslems say it commemorates an event of nobility. The martyr Husain, they say, died for democracy and rule.by consent against usurpers.
