#Beefban in India: With Eid-ul-Adha coming, shall I feel agitated?

EID-ul-Adha is coming. Soon we will bear witness to animal slaughter of humongous proportions!

This whole mass scale slaughter of animals is just senseless.

First of all Prophet Ibrahim PBUH agreed to slaughter his own son on the command of Allah (God). He passed this test as he was ready to sacrifice his own son for the will of God. God gave him a Dumba (mountain Goat) instead to slaughter. That is the story.

What I fail to understand is why people fail to understand the real motive behind the story! The moral of the story was to “Keep the order of your God above all things”. What Muslims are doing is similar to what Christians did with Christmas… i.e. commercialized it.

What is the benefit of buying a goat, camel, cattle from market and sacrificing it? What is the gain? Nothing!!

During the Eid, animal prices sky rocket. There is slaughter of animals all over the world on a humungous scale. There is blood and gore everywhere. Does Allah want this?

Look at animals, even carnivores…. they eat only when they are hungry. We humans eat even when we are not hungry. During Eid, there is more than surplus of meat everywhere. People become glutton and start eating qurbani meat for days. They fart. they get ill, suffer from diaharrea.

It is a sensitive issue in India which is the birthplace of all Dharmic religions of the world and which is sensitive towards killings.

The solution to meat-eater (including non-muslims) of India is very simple.

There is virtually no issue with Poultry, Eggs, Fish, Goat, Lamb, Carabeef.

Those people who think that Beef ban is going to effect their source of cheap protien must realize that buff-beef is already in market and there is not religious issue with it.

Eating cow is not a religious necessity in Islam. Let the Islamic countries do it. India is a secular Hindu majority country. We can at least respect their love for Cow which they consider holy.

I know one thing for sure, once cows are taken out of equation, there wont be too much to fight between Hindus and Muslims.

Be secular, be accommodating, be Indian.
