New in PJ Media:
Hamtramck, Mich., used to be a Polish town, but as America has become more “diverse,” Hamtramck has become less so: Kevin Downey Jr. tells me that there are only two Polish restaurants and two bars left there, and the Hamtramck City Council, according to Fox News, is now made up entirely of Muslims. That’s the kind of monochromatism that the Left celebrates as “diversity,” and the diversity celebrations will be even more exciting in Hamtramck now: on Tuesday, according to Fox News, Hamtramck’s city council approved the practice of animal sacrifice at home.
Muslims sacrifice animals, usually sheep or goats, on the Islamic Feast of Eid al-Adha, which commemorates the end of the pilgrimage to Mecca, the Hajj, and Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son, not Isaac as in the Bible, but Ishmael. The legalization of animal sacrifice at home in Hamtramck opens up all sorts of possibilities as America descends further into the wonderful world of multiculturalism. Breitbart reported back in August 2020 that “a Muslim resident of the southern French city of Nice recorded himself slaughtering a sheep in his bathtub for the Islamic Eid al-Adha holiday and posted the video on social media.”
In line with that, the Detroit Free Press noted Wednesday that “Some residents and animal rights advocates have expressed opposition to the ordinance changes, saying they will lead to animal cruelty and sanitation problems in Hamtramck, one of the most densely populated cities in Michigan. They said they worry about people being traumatized by seeing the throats of goats, lambs, and cows being slit in backyards, with blood splattering and entrails falling out.”
Another problem comes from a piquant news item in 2013 from, oddly enough, the far-Left Guardian: the animal sacrifices, the paper reported, “will also generate an extraordinary cash windfall for some of Pakistan’s most dangerous militant groups….‘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.” Surely there won’t be any connection between jihad groups and the sacrifices in Hamtramck, right? Such a connection would be inconceivable!
It’s also worth noting the meaning of the feast of Eid al-Adha. In thinking of Abraham, most Americans think of the Biblical figure. In Genesis 22:15-18, Abraham is rewarded for his faith and told he will become a blessing to the nations: “by your descendants shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves, because you have obeyed my voice.”

LOL!!! How can you tell the difference between a muslim and a goat?
No punchline…..A serious question. How can you tell?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Particularly since muslim men have no qualms about raping goats

I’m told that sheep are easier to handle and, consequently, are more popular than goats for “dating” purposes.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Maybe, but there are fewer sheep than goats in the latitudes where the most muslims live – namely the tropics. Hamtramck, MI, though, would be the exception

Infidel.
FYI. I was joking.

PETA is very quick to go against normal animal farm practices that are far more humane then cutting the throat of a goat with a dirty knife in an apartment bathtub .They would not dare ask the Moslems or protest against them like the fur industry non-sense protest they did 20 years back.
Rarely says
It wouldn’t be so bad if they’d stick to goats and sheep.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
While I happen to be non-vegetarian, I don’t think animals should be subjected to that cruelty
wpm says
Also killing animals in rented home and apartments might bother the neighbors with the odors and the screaming of the animals being killed in city settings. Anything to satisfy the religion of peace. I guess the screaming of women being beaten by husbands in the religion of peace ,child brides, honor killings, ,FGM, animal killings in bathtubs will soften the unbelievers up to the more seady side Islam once the camel gets its nose into the western tent of society.

In India, that’s the reason that many Hindus refuse to rent out their homes to muslims. Last thing they want is animal slaughter, wife beatings, rapes, and so on
