Eid animal slaughter funds Pakistan terror groups
The Guardian ^ | 10/15/2013 | Jon Boone

Huge numbers of goats, cows and even camels will be slaughtered in Pakistani on Wednesday homes to mark the Islamic holy day of Eid al-Adha.

The sacrificial offering of around 6m animals will allow families to fulfil a religious duty, guarantee some much appreciated meat handouts to the poor and provide nearly half of the annual requirement of the country's leather industry.

It will also generate an extraordinary cash windfall for some of Pakistan's most dangerous militant groups.

Thinly disguised front organisations have been gearing up to compete against each other and legitimate charities to collect as many animal skins as possible, which can then be sold on for cash.

"For us it is second only to Ramadan for our income," says an official from the Falah-e-Insaniyat Foundation (FIF).

FIF is the charitable wing of Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD), itself the reincarnation of one of south Asia's most dangerous militant groups, the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), a banned organisation dedicated to fighting jihad against India.

"Eid al-Adha" The sacrificial offering.....

This happened today Tuesday, October 15 at a meat market within 1/2 mile from my home. There was an unbelievable amount of traffic and parked vehicles. I have purchased "Cabrito" (Spanish for goat) there before but I'm not sure I will in the future. Wouldn't want to eat meat sacrificed to a false god.

“The sacrificial offering of around 6m animals”

Kenites-——offspring of the original murderer do this type thing.

Christians KNOW the ULTIMATE sacrifice was made by our Father’s Son, making any blood sacrifices afterwards an abomination to the TRUE God.

Hunt, kill food that is supplied by our Father “To be received” to feed you and your family...but, if you make it a blood sacrifice to a false god, you are a Kenite and an enemy of Christians.
