Muslims around the world are celebrating Eid al-Adha, the feast of sacrifice, the second of two Islamic holidays celebrated worldwide marking the end of the annual pilgrimage or Hajj to the Saudi holy city of Mecca.

Across the world men, women and children prayed and sacrificed animals as part of the celebrations.

Eid al-Adha is the holiest of the two Muslims holidays celebrated each year. Photos from Pakistan show men in the street slaughtering goats, camels, cows and sheep as of the festivities.

As many as 10 million animals worth up to $3 billion are sacrificed during the festival, the Pakistan Tanners' Association says.

A lot of Islam is a rip off of Judaism, this festival being one of them. Except I don't see Jews slaughtering animals cruelly in public for say the Passover.

Why are they all walking in circles (counterclockwise) around this big square black building? I’m not trying to make any wisecracks, I’m just curious.

It is worthwhile to click on the link and look at all the pictures. Also worth sharing with family, friends, coworkers (in the spirit of understanding and diversity).

There are some Islamic rituals related to the Kaaba stone. They are supposed to circle the building multiple times. It is a ritual.

I’ve heard that infidels are banned from entering Mecca. It is such holy ground as a holy city of Islam, that only true believers are allowed inside.
