And the Darwin Award for the year 2007 goes to...

New Delhi: A 45-year-old Muslim man on Monday slit his throat with a knife and sacrificed himself at the shrine of Ghazi Baba in Bahraich District in Uttar Pradesh on the occasion of Eid-ul-Zuha, police said.

A note was found in which Moharrum Ali had written, "I was sacrificing my life as I once dreamt Allah asking me to offer myself for sacrifice," Superintendent of Police (SP) Pramod Kumar told PTI.

He said a sharp-edged weapon was also recovered near his body and added that the case was being investigated.

Moharrum Ali had made an attempt to sacrifice himself at the shrine a couple of years ago, the SP said.

Prima facie, it appeared to be an act of suicide with religious fanaticism, Kumar said.

I spoke to Allah a few days ago and can confirm the martyr's "dream" as a revelation from the "greater" one.

Allah told me that it is every true-believer's duty to follow Moharrum Ali's example, as soon as possible....otherwise the gates of Paradise shall be closed, leaving millions of unsatisfied virgins, doe-eyed boys, and billy goats to live out eternity without manly musslemen.
