Video footage In 2017, Reza Aslan visited a cannibalistic Hindu group as part of a TV show. The group gave him human brain to eat, covered his face with cremated remains

Video footage In 2017, Reza Aslan visited a cannibalistic Hindu group as part of a TV show. The group gave him human brain to eat, covered his face with cremated remains, and made him wear headgear decorated with human teeth. 


One of the members of the group even threatened to cut off his head. 

Aslan later posted on social media saying: “Want to know what a dead guy’s brain tastes like? Charcoal. It was burnt to a crisp!”

The Aghori sect, which Aslan visited, is a fringe group within Hinduism. They are known for their extreme rituals, which include residing in cremation grounds, meditating naked, and even consuming human flesh as part of their spiritual practices. The Aghori are often feared and misunderstood, even within India, due to their unconventional and shocking practices.

The episode featuring the Aghori was part of Aslan's CNN series, "Believers," which aimed to explore the world's most fascinating faith-based groups. However, the episode sparked controversy, with some accusing it of being "Hinduphobic" and sensationalizing aspects of Hinduism. Critics argued that focusing on such an extreme sect could mischaracterize Hinduism, especially for viewers with little understanding of the religion.

In the wake of the episode, there were concerns about the potential impact on the Indian-American community. The episode aired during a time of heightened tension, with several alleged hate crimes against people of Indian origin reported in the US. Some feared that the portrayal of Hinduism in the episode could exacerbate these issues.

The execution Of Che Guevara’s final moments. Bolivia, 9 October 1967 Che Guevara is executed On October 9,1967, socialist revolutionary and guerrilla leader Che Guevara, age 39, is killed by the Bolivian army. The U.S.-military-backed Bolivian forces captured Guevara on October 8 while battling his band of guerrillas in Bolivia and executed him the following day. His hands were cut off as proof of death and his body was buried in an unmarked grave. In 1997, Guevara’s remains were found and sent back to Cuba, where they were reburied in a ceremony attended by President Fidel Castro and thousands of Cubans. Ernesto Rafael Guevara de la Serna was born to a well-off family in Argentina in 1928. While studying medicine at the University of Buenos Aires, he took time off to travel around South America on a motorcycle; during this time, he witnessed the poverty and oppression of the lower classes. He received a medical degree in 195...

A criminal profiler working with the FBI was interviewing serial killer Edmund Kemper. Alone. He had no gun on him

Image
A criminal profiler working with the FBI was interviewing serial killer Edmund Kemper. Alone. He had no gun on him. And when he buzzed the guards to collect him… no one came for over half an hour. Kemper, a 6′9″ and 300 pound man, leaned over and said the following words: “If I went apeshit in here, you’d be in a lot of trouble, wouldn’t you It was pretty chilling. Because Kemper was a 100% correct — he could harm the profiler. He could absolutely, and with great ease, take his life. The FBI man knew this. He even tried to negotiate a little with Kemper. Told him he’d be in trouble, that he’d be put in solitary… Kemper wasn’t fazed, replying that he’d been in solitary before, and that they would not place him there forever. In fact, killing an FBI officer would only elevate his status among other prisoners, and he knew he would never walk free anyway.. For fifteen minutes that must have felt like hours, Kemper toyed with the profil...

  German women were r*ped by all armies at the end of the second world war. From the archive, 17 June 1955: Two years after the end of the war Berlin still smelled of death. Each street contained dozens of ruins and every ruin, especially after rain had fallen and there was still a dampness in the air, retained the same sickly smell. It may have been, as some Germans honestly believed, corpses buried beneath them, or it may have been the state of the drains. It may simply have been the projection of a short but stormy past into the greyness of that particularly uninviting present. Here are some images containing Graphic content visual material that is considered disturbing, offensive, or inappropriate. images from Execution of torturers and violence.

An unauthorized photo of Stalin: the moment he was informed that the Germans were about to take Kiev, 1941

 An unauthorized photo of Stalin: the moment he was informed that the Germans were about to take Kiev, 1941 An unauthorized photo of Stalin inside of the Kremlin shows the very moment he was informed that the German armies had advanced in Kyiv (August 1941). What you see here is a man who up until a few weeks before had absolute confidence in Plan A, and who now has no Plan B. The picture was taken by Komsomolskaya Pravda’s editor-in-chief. The photographer secretly defied orders to destroy it as it was deemed not to show Stalin in a positive light. Operation Barbarossa, the German attack on the Soviet Union, was the greatest military operation of World War II. It deployed thousands of aircraft, tanks, artillery guns, and more than six million soldiers. Furthermore, it brought two of probably the most totalitarian regimes in history against one another. However, in the first few weeks of the operation, it didn’t look like the clash of two giants. The German a...

Mohamed Abukar Ibrahim, 48, was stoned to death by militants from the Hizb Al-Islam group in Afgoye, district Somalia, in 2009

Mohamed Abukar Ibrahim, 48, was stoned to death by militants from the Hizb Al-Islam group in Afgoye, district Somalia, in 2009 Stoning is a form of execution by torture where the individual who throws the deadly stone cannot be identified. In some countries, those sentenced to stoning, or “lapidation” as it is also called, are buried in a hole and covered with soil (men up to their waists; women to a line above their breasts), according to Article 102 of the Islamic Penal Code. A selected group then executes the alleged adulterers using rocks and sticks. Those able to escape the hole during stoning can be freed, according to Islamic law, a feat that is much more difficult for women than for men because so much more of their body is covered during lapidation. Stoning is considered a form of community justice and has its fair share of critics both among human rights groups and Islamic clerics. In Somalia, a 48-year old man was buried up to his waist and stoned...
