Muslim Sheep Slaughter to be Banned in Moscow During Eid al-Adha Feast
Interfax ^ | 10/1/14

Moscow, October 1, Interfax - Prayers marking the Muslim holiday, Eid al-Adha, will begin at all Moscow mosques at 7 a.m. on October 4, a spokesman for the city's inter-regional cooperation, national policy and religious organizations department said.

"Moscow authorities help Muslims religious organizations each year to organize festive services, providing security, maintenance, medical assistance and broadcasts," he said.

But Muscovites and visitors have been warned that the sale and slaughter of sacrificial animals will be banned in Moscow.

Sacrificial sheep will be slaughtered on farms and in slaughter houses in individual villages of the Moscow Region., the spokesman said.

Eid al-Adha, the feast of the sacrifice, honors the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his promised son, Ismail, as an act of submission to Allah's command, before Allah intervened to provide Abraham with a lamb to sacrifice instead.

While celebrating the feat of Prophet Ibrahim, Muslims slaughter animals (sheep, goats, cows or camels).

Wasn't Hagar and Ishmael already abandoned into the desert by the time Abraham had Isaac on the block?

Good for them. Like we would let them slaughter these animals at Mosques in NYC or other cities. If we do....we’re nuts...

What exactly is a Muslim sheep? Almost sounds like an Oxymoron.

It’s a public health consideration and it makes sense given how the moslems were behaving last year with their various slaughters that were shown on You Tube and Live Leak.

When you just make stuff up historical time lines are obsolete.

The whole thing is made up.

Preserving the virgins for later use? I got a question though. We know the guys were promised a bunch of virgins but nobody that I know of has told us what the female suicide bombers get. New designer burquas?

When you are trying to create a religion for murderers and thieves, a little plagiarism and story-bending is perfectly acceptable.
