Word!

It sucks but there are a few billion people that are omnivores and billions of animals (which is what we as humans are after all)… so that opinion isn’t going to cause much of a dent.

Besides I think (correct me if I’m wrong Taz) the point of this piece wasn’t the sacrifice of animals, but rather to sacrifice a few bucks to help out those less fortunate. The Eid thing was used an introduction.

um. really, how abt animal testing? how abt when the animals gets eaten by other animals? done properly, they are done with a 2.5 goes (one way, than another way, than a half, so i am told). a cattle prod in the head may be just as terrible. or how abts a electric water shock like the chickenz.

what IS terrible is the damn right mess and lack of post event cleanliness practiced in modern day cities, where open space is hard to find.

Eid-al-Adha is the correct classical Arabic way of saying it.

In the Farsi and Urdu speaking worlds of Iran and South Asia, common Arabic terms in Islamic terminology undergo minor pronunciation changes.

But this is true of most non-Arabic speaking Muslim communities.

In China, the Hui Muslim people say “Mo” for Muhammad. In Turkish, Muhammad is “Mehmet” and in Farsi “Mahmood.” Just to illustrate the point.
