Muslims Do Animal Sacrifice, Part Two

Dear Readers,

The other day I was looking through the news and I found an article about Muslims making a pilgrimage and throwing stones at some pillars in Mina, Saudi Arabia. The article said, among other things, “A large security force monitored worshippers headed for the stoning after slaughtering sheep in a ritual for the Feast of the Sacrifice (Eid al-Adha) to recall Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son on God's order.” The full article is here: http://www.middle-east-online.com/ENGLISH/?id=29133

Slaughtering sheep? Muslims do animal sacrifice? Maybe that’s old news to you, but I was shocked. I had no idea that Muslims did animal sacrifice.

Not that there’s anything wrong with animal sacrifice, in theory. The righteous Israelites of the Old Testament did it all the time, and their animal sacrifices were approved of God. But, wow, you know. Animal sacrifice. That’s heavy.

Well, after the news sat in my head for a few days, last night I thought of this funny story about Muslims kidnapping pet rabbits and sacrificing them, and I wrote it down in my last blog post. I think it’s funny, but I hope nobody gets offended by it.

Sincerely,
Telemoonfa
