@M. Emad - I have never seen swords being used in Muharram processions, but as far as knives are concerned what would banning do if they are available freely in shops and is a necessity in everyday use? Whoever has ulterior motives can use it anyway. So, restricting minorities to perform their rites can only cause discourse!

Hussain ibn e Ali raised his voice against corruption & injustice. He raised his voice for equality. It's not about Shia or Sunni. It's about humanity
