Well due to the fact that you can neither back up your claim that this is representative of those one billion Muslims worldwide, nor that the sword in that picture represents what you say it does, then yes, it does appear you have found the one Muslim in the world that wears a sword (for reasons unknown) round his neck...

ive actually seen with my own eyes muslims wear that sword around their necks like christians do with the cross.

Many pakistani's to be more specific. I even asked a girl who was wearing it what that was and what it meant. She described it to me as teh sword of "ali" ??

haaaaaaa then maybe it's something common with chiia not sunnis, because sunnis for sure don't wear no swords around their necks

Well, you know, I haven't seen any muslims wearing sabres around their necks (probably because there aren't any around here), but I have seen necklaces with swords quite often (though swords of western design), and I actually happen to know some people who wear them. As a matter of fact, I've also seen necklaces with axes and warhammers...they actually looked kinda nice. If I'd ever wear a necklace I'd kinda consider the sword ones. Except that the sword can be poking you when you're running...

Wearing swords around the neck doesnt symbolize shit. it must be some arabic tradition cause muslims around where i live dont really wear necklaces..except for the women.

Yep.. men arent allowed to wear gold.Tattoos arent allowed for both sexes. Although i've seen muslim women with those tribal tattoos at their cheeks..

yep or in the chin

That sword is the sword that was used to murder Imam Ali and it is very symbolic and a very important day in the shia muslim nations.

There you have it folks, the sword that killed Ali is a symbol for Shias much like the cross that killed Jesus is for Christians. And Syria has a minor but powerful/vocal Shia population from what I know- where the picture comes what I hear. What the hell was all the rockus in this thread about anyway?? So the guy has an interesting piece around his neck? Big f******* deal.

To be honest, I burst out laughing when I saw the picture of the dude with the "sword" around his neck. With all this hysteria, I was actually expecting to find a real bad-ass blade.
