The Muslims have a number of problems... But I’d be careful before getting too upset about this one. OK, so doing it on the dinner table is a little out there. But beyond that it’s not all that different from dressing out a deer— something passed from fathers to sons, and daughters, for generations, even at fairly young ages.

Your example is only valid if you dress out a living deer on the kitchen table with the kids watching.

Is that what you're saying?

No... I said the dinner table part was a bit over the top. Lots of kids however have been there to finish off a dying deer and cut its throat, drain the blood and dress it out. I’m certainly not going to defend the madness of Islam but we should also choose our battles carefully. There are similar things that happen in many cultures, including ours, and any kids raised on the farm will experience animal blood up close and personal.

There’s lots more nutty stuff they do than this.
