If you can't answer these two questions, the CASE IS CLOSED:

The BIG QUESTION:

Did the Prophet, Hazrat Ali and his family ever performed Matam? No.

Which Islamic AUTHORITY other than Allah and Prophet Mohammad authorized this ritual for shias?

Or did some imam wake up some morning and said, "oh wait, since we couldn't save Imam Hussain and Hassan and we watched while they were killed, lets pay them back by beating ourselves." What a regretful way to pay respect. Allah is making shias punish themselves at their own hands here and I can't even imagine what will happen in hereafter.

Indeed.

Again chief
The book reference I will provide you and your party will not accept it. Syeda Zainab (sister of Imam Hussain & Imam Zain ul Abideen) whom Yazid Army captured along with other ladies and kids was first mourner of Imam Hussain.
