Should the UN end camel qurbans once and for all?

[Juliuscaesar]

In Islam, the sacrifice of an animal is legal only during 10-12 Dhu l-Hijjah, the 12th lunar month of the Islamic calendar. It is understood as a symbolic repetition of Abraham's sacrifice of a ram in place of his son, a crucial notion in Judaism, Christianity and Islam alike.

Most schools of fiqh accept that the animal must be killed according to the prohibitions of Halal sacrifice and that the animal in question may be a goat, sheep, cow or camel.

The UN needs to do something about these horrible incidents in Muslim countries in which camels are sacrificed in the most appalling ways.But how could they do it without hurting the West as Muslim countries have most of the world's oil?

So long as we don't let thousands of them into America, cultural relativism eh?

Unfortunately that didn't work for my buddy, however, whose Hmong neighbors have chickens in their garage. :1orglaugh


Whether they sacrifice the chics or not, we have never found out, not since he put a bladed 9 iron Titleist into their side window on accident a couple years ago. :eek:
