    Thank you for bringing this up.

    HAJ animal slaughter terrorism will happen on a Poya day. This is UNACCEPTABLE.

    Have same enthusiasm to BAN POLYGAMY which is disgusting and immoral.

    This is a good sign and a good start.

    Animal sacrifice is unacceptable under any religion and incompatible with modern society.

    So it is good if Muslims can replace it with a more humane practice that doesn’t involve killing. There are Sufi sects that do not consume meat. If according to the tradition Abraham’s son was spared from sacrifice why not spare the life of an animal meant to be slaughtered for meat?
