#1 Not sure these are exactly Islamic traditions. More like pre-Islamic folk religion, which is at odds with puritanism.

#2 More like some kind of cell meeting. We need to imbed pressure sensitive weapons in the headstones to drop the co-terorists when they come to hero worship. That would give Amnesia International something to really complai8n about.

#3 Two local men, one of them mentally disabled, keep the shrine swept clean.

#6 these are completely opposite to taliban Islamic practice. Wahabis/Deobandis oppose graveyard practices and have used such theological opposition to justify attacks against other Sunnis and Sufi's as defense of the religion against heretics. Go figure

I agree with tu3031 - not yet, at least in celebration. I remember Game 6 in 1986 all too well.
