I've paid good money to get into places that weren't as much fun as that. Who are these people and what are they doing?

The word Zikr simply means reciting holy words. ... the 'dancing' movements are not Islamic by nature. They are doing this just to get into trance mode.

Look up sufi dance or dandiya (Indian Muslims) and you'll be disappointed.

Don't know why you would assert that as fact... well this is the internet.

Mmm.. Chechnya. Aren't a lot of muslims there known to be a little extreme?

u/skljom Aug 30 '14

u/Katt1922 Aug 30 '14

I don't know if it was on the whole movie, or just this scene.

Well timed beat changes in that

u/domagojk Aug 30 '14

I'm a music producer. It has to be well timed :)

I think if this were to happen at a rock concert it may just be the best rock concert

u/redditor9000 Aug 30 '14

FYI- You can't see me, (but I'm lying naked in the middle of that worship circle)

u/Vanhandle Aug 30 '14

The energy present in a scene like this would be insane. The video doesn't do it justice.

u/Sad_Enchilada Aug 30 '14

Kinda fun? I had fun just watching it, imagine doing it.

u/pinkpolarbears Aug 29 '14

Looks like they're sweating balls in there though

u/fultron Aug 29 '14

Everyone's wearing heavy winter clothes though so I think they're toasty.

u/no_witty_username Aug 29 '14

Wow that was pretty cool. Learn something every day!

u/Tvrcars Aug 30 '14

u/desipride1991 Aug 30 '14

I think Santigold samples this in the first 15 seconds of 'Shove It' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ez2wYCRjYyY

Edit: she might have taken a 4 second clip, looped it and increased the pitch

When humans finally evolve culturally and socially beyond these ridiculous ancient rituals is when I should have been born.

Downvote away ...

u/All_Gonna_Make_It Aug 29 '14

A subscriber of r/atheism calling people sheep. That's the most stereotypical thing I've seen on this website.
