Infact in trinidad, its become a mainstream carnival, where every ashura, trinidadians from all faiths and background take out processions, beat drums and taboots. Its called the carnival of Hosay, and originated from the indians muslims that settled there in the 18th century, and if you ask them what its about they'll say they're remembering the death of the Prophet's Grandson.
Smiliarly in India, Iraq, UK and other places, people of non shia background take part religiously for thier own reasons.

I hope that you agree that it is tragic that nonmuslims are allowed to partcipate in these processions and what is your view on "hussaini brahmins"?
what sorrow they can express at the death of Prophet's grandson when they believe neither in the oneness of Allah nor in the finality of Prophethood
