Dear All,

Happy Eid Greetings to all of you...

A Breif Note About Eid al-Adha For Those Who Don't Know What It Is
====================================================

Eid al-Adha:
The Festival of the Sacrifice

The Festival of the Sacrifice (Eid al-Adha) is one of two major Islamic celebrations and takes place on the tenth day of the Islamic month Dhul-Hijjah, the last month of the Islamic calendar in which millions of Muslims from around the world make an annual pilgrimage to Makkah in order to worship Allah and to commemorate the willingness of the Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) to sacrifice his son Ishmael in response to a command from God. Satisfied with Abraham's devotion, God replaced Ishmael with a sheep at the last second, and the sheep was slaughtered instead. While pilgrims in Makkah re-enact this scene by slaughtering sheep of their own, Muslims who can afford it in the rest of the world also participate in this rite by slaughtering sheep, camels and cows. One third of the meat is distributed to the poor, one third to neighbors and relatives while one third is kept by the person who offered the sacrifice for use within his or her own family.

What has that got to do with Linux-General?

/me reported the post for moving to General

wow i did not want to read that (how can you do such a thing to those animals??)

people really should stop posting sporadically about random things, no offense to anyone - unless it goes into the General forum.... which it probably will get bumped to

Its probably not as bad as you think student04
slitting an animals throat is probably one of the fastest
and humane ways an animal can die
believe or not
done properly of course

yes its a bit messy
I've seen it done on a farm where I once worked
where animals ( sheep ) were slaughtered for food
and I've no inclination to see it again

its just one of things you have to deal with
when you live a little closer to nature
than most in the western world
where meat comes neatly packaged on trays
from the butchery in the supermarket
