Muslims in the Russian capital Moscow have been denied the right to celebrate the upcoming Eid al-Adhu (Feast of the Sacrifice) Islamic holiday after local authorities banned them from carrying out the traditional slaughter ritual.
The second of the two Eid holidays in the Islamic calender, Muslims typically celebrate the occassion by slaughtering a lamb, a cow or a camel and distributing its meat to relatives, neighbors and the poor.
However, a spokesman for the city's inter-regional cooperation, national policy and religious organizations department, told Interfax on Wednesday that the sale and slaughter of sacrificial animals will be banned in Moscow during the holiday.
Muslims will be allowed to fulfil the regilious rite in villages outside of the main city, he added.
A recent influx of migrant workers in Moscow from mainly Muslim parts of Russia, such as the northern Caucasus and central Asia, have brought to light new issues in the city, amid increasing tensions between migrants and the city's Slavic community.
Currently, there are only four official mosques in Moscow, which is insufficient to cope with the increase of Muslims arriving in the city.
Muslims in Moscow in recent years have had to resort to praying their Eid prayers in public squares with prior permission from the local authorities.
In total, around 23 million Muslims live in Russia, making it the country's second largest religion with 15% of the overall population of 145 million.
How interesting that the "Leninist" autocrat instituted a 13% Flat income tax in 2001 that Russians still enjoy today, while we freedom loving Americans have since increased the scope and marginal rates of our Progressive income tax. Which of these systems is true to Marxist-Leninist principles?
A theory not supported in fact, and I give you Qaddafi, Mubarak, al Sisi, and Assad for reference.

Lip service, so as to not alienate those Russians still unable to leave Communism, While Obama actively enforces Leninist tax and social policy on Americans.
Putin called neighboring countries part of Russia
And if he can hold them, they will be.
Putin is bringing back Soviet-era programs and holidays
To try bringing more Russians together celebrating Russia, while Obama and Rats dismantle Christian and patriotic American holidays and replace them with Pagan and Satanist third world substitutes.
Putin controls the media and his opponents often die or go to prison
While Obama and the Rats equally control a WILLING Western Media, then they fund, equip and train the Muslim terrorists who behead and gang rape those same sycophant Socialist media elites. On their part, stupidity is a capital crime, and the Ninth Commandment is "Thou shalt not commit false witness".
Considering that INNOCENT opponents of Obama and the Rats, often "die or go to prison", it seems even Americans get a better deal from Putin than Obama.
