Reza Aslan eats human brain with Hindu cannibal sect

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4296404/CNN-presenter-Reza-Aslan-eats-HUMAN-BRAIN.html (Apologies for Daily Mail link.)

Aslan, 44, met the Aghori in the holy Hindu city of Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, where they smeared the ashes from cremated human bodies on his face.

He then drank an alcoholic drink from a human skull, before eating what he was told was human brain.

At one point he fell out with the Aghori guru who shouted: 'I will cut your head off if you keep talking so much.'

The guru began eating his own faeces and then hurled it at Aslan.

Aslan quipped: 'I feel like this may have been a mistake.'

Maajid Nawaz is having a field day with this:

And in case anyone is wondering; yes, eating human brain is bad for you. EDIT - And Aslan mocked the article saying as much.

Is this the Hindu equivalent of fundamentalist Christian sects?

Is this the Hindu equivalent of fundamentalist Christian sects?

More like the Hindu equivalent of the Manson Family.

I honestly have no problem with the Aghoris as long as they don't harm anyone outside their sect, but I am notoriously soft on even the most fanatical religious systems as long as they're not out crusading.

Why Reza Aslan would eat brains? Publicity, I guess. Couldn't think of any other reason unless you were an Aghori "true-believer."

The Aghoris are doing this shit for some fucked up religious reasons. Aslan can just eat a fucking dick if he wants to eat human flesh. I wish they'd kicked his ass, but they seem fairly mellow as cannibal corpse fuckers go.

Remember when the Wildboyz filmed with the Aghori?
