Animal
Sacrifice or Blood Orgy

Once
again, Muslims around the world have “sacrificed” millions of animals in a
three day period during the month of Eid-ul-Adha to please God.
Sacrifice
inherently means that you part with something that is very close to your heart
and experience a certain degree of pain during the process.
Abraham
proceeded to sacrifice his son who was very close to his heart and with whom
had great attachment.
This act
of Abraham can be seen as a spirit of true sacrifice.
Today,
if I say that I sacrificed an old sofa for a greater cause, I will be laughed
at, since the sofa doesn’t mean much to me. However, this hypothetical
act of mine is not much different from someone slitting the throat of a goat to
please God and call it a sacrifice, since the person has had no attachment to
the goat except a few bucks that he would soon forget. -- Syed Rizvi
