Animal Sacrifice Approved In Michigan

Hamtramck City Council in Michigan has just voted to allow animal sacrifice to occur inside residents’ homes for religious purposes.

The new measure was approved with a 3-2 vote from city council members who are all Muslims.

The council justified their decision by explaining how Muslims during the holiday of Eid al-Adha usually slaughter animals such as goats and sheep.

However, the new ruling opens up the door for Satanists to sacrifice their own animals in the name of “religion”.

Fox News covered the story:

A Detroit-area city on Tuesday voted to approve allowing residents to sacrifice animals at home for religious purposes.

The Hamtramck City Council, whose members are all Muslims, approved the practice, 3-2, Tuesday.

The matter was put up for a vote in December, but city council members kept a ban in place. The issue was revisited this month after legal advice and objections from resident Muslims, the Detroit Free Press reported.

“If somebody wants to do it, they have a right to do their practice,” Council Member Mohammed Hassan said.

Muslims often slaughter animals, especially goats or sheep, during the holiday of Eid al-Adha or pay someone to do it for them. Meat is shared with family, friends and the poor.

“It’s not something new or novel,” explained Dawud Walid, director of the Michigan branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

“This is when Muslims recognize Abraham sacrificing a sheep instead of having to sacrifice his son,” Walid said, in an apparent reference to the Quran and Old Testament passage.

Hamtramck residents will be required to notify the city, pay a fee and make their property available for inspection.

The National Review had more on the story:

A city council in Michigan has voted to approve animal sacrifice, a law passed to accommodate Muslim practices during holy days. From the Detroit Free Press story:

After several months of contentious debate and pressure from Muslim residents, Hamtramck City Council voted Tuesday night to approve allowing the religious sacrifice of animals on residential property.

Muslims often slaughter animals during the holiday of Eid al-Adha and Hamtramck has one of the highest percentage of Muslim residents among cities in the U.S.

The all-Muslim city council voted 3 to 2, with Mayor Amer Ghalib casting the tie-breaking vote, to amend a city ordinance to allow religious sacrifice of animals at home. After the vote to approve, applause broke out from members of the public, who packed the meeting to speak out before the vote.
