Looks to be stolen from the Jewish - Israeli - Breslovers who have used this mantra since it came out years ago... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YK_LUEgkOG0 They can be seen doing crazy dances all over Israel...it's a strange experience, everyone kind of just breaks out into dance.
Possible. Everything in Israel is so...original.
I don't know, IMO there's a bit of a difference b/w people bouncing around and the guy having the temporal lobe seizure in the OP. It's nice that the people running the "show" happily let the old me convulse instead of stopping the performance and seeing to his personal safety and medical attention.Looks to be stolen from the Jewish - Israeli - Breslovers who have used this mantra since it came out years ago... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YK_LUEgkOG0 They can be seen doing crazy dances all over Israel...it's a strange experience, everyone kind of just breaks out into dance.

Scarily these people are the leaders :S
Which is what reminded me so much of Pentecostals. Talking in tongues is TLS. The Greek cult of Ares made great use of this for proselytizing. Probably why Pentecostals is the fasting growing religion in the USA. Nothing like your friend telling you he just spoke in tongues with the voice of the holy ghost and actually think he did - not realizing the ceremony itself acts to induce these seizures much like kids watching Pokemon.... meh...
Pentecostal are an evangelical "ministry". You know, the whole laying on hands, speaking in tongues, born again crap.Do you mean evangelicals?
What the hell was that?

So you think the Mad Mullah bashing himself on the head was only "acting crazy" because he was a "paid professional"? Watch the video again SAM. He's in the act of losing the plot... and THESE are the people you look up to for guidance? AND you wonder why things are in the mess they're in? PuuuuLEASE!An overzealous mourning ritual. Its like the professional mourners we have in India called rudali [the weepers]
Here is an ad making fun of one such mourning ritual.
