Residents of a Detroit-area community with a large Muslim population can sacrifice animals at home for religious reasons. The Hamtramck City Council explicitly approved the practice, 3-2, Tuesday, another step in recognizing a cultural shift in a city whose 20th century history was shaped by Polish immigrants. Muslims often slaughter animals, typically goats or sheep, or pay someone to do it for them during the holy holiday of Eid al-Adha. Meat is shared with family, friends and the poor. The Hamtramck council in December had voted to continue a ban on animal slaughter but reversed course, at least for religious reasons, after legal advice and objections from people who follow the Islamic faith, the Detroit Free Press reported. “If somebody wants to do it, they have a right to do their practice,” council member Mohammed Hassan said. Dawud Walid, director of the Michigan branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said “it’s not something new or novel.” “This is when Muslims recognize Abraham sacrificing a sheep instead of having to sacrifice his son,” Walid said, referring to the passage in the Quran and Old Testament. Hamtramck residents will be required to notify the city, pay a fee and make their property available for inspection. Hamtramck has a population 28,000. More than half of the residents are of Yemeni or Bangladeshi descent, the Free Press said.

Step by step the islamification of the US continues.
This is why muslims should not hold political office.
okay, that’s it...I’m done.
Can Detroit get any lower? Now they will have innocent animals killed by people who likely have no idea of how to humanely dispatch them. The opportunity for gross animal cruelty will be opened. And why? To appease the filthy animals who murdered 3,000 Americans a mere couple of decades ago? What’s next—child sacrifice? Obviously Detroit is sitting on the sub-basement level of a cesspool already. Ugh!
Absolutly, this is a Democracy, don't you know.... And a Godless one, at that.!
Define “animal”....

Import Third World
Become Third World
This issue was settled thirty years ago: Lukumi Babalu Aye v. City of Hialeah, 508 U.S. 520 (1993).
Yeah, this is crazy.
Since the destruction of the Second Temple (70 AD) Judaism doesn’t allow sacrifices and Christians don’t, either.
Trying to reference that earlier era is a cheap trick by the Muslims.
Voodoo still allows this abomination.
Civilized people do not.
I thought they came to America to become Americans.
lol
Now they are making laws for them and Americans.
It’s cultural suicide and displacement through supplanting Americans
Agree.
I have a long standing personal grudge against the people of Detroit.
I was born in a hospital in Detroit but my parents drove me to a decent suburb shortly.
I won’t go into the reasons for my justified grudge. Total boycott since 1975 including sports and concerts I missed rather than go there.
How do we know that some of the murders in our big cities are not caused by a resurgence of the Tuggee cults of India?
No doubt Human Sacrifice (separate from aborting kids) will soon be next. Remember 1988 when Geraldo Rivera had on his show some people who claimed to sacrifice children?
With all the Mexicans and Central Americans coming into the US no doubt they will fall back on their old customs before the Spanish arrived. OH WAIT! It is already here! Santa Muerte!
Almost like the Dark Ages when people worshiped GOD in churches, but back home they made a sacrifice to Satan in hopes of keeping him away from them.
Don’t be too hasty in judgment here... Do vegans on the plate count as freedom of religion?
When do the PETA riots begin? (sarc)
If you want to see what Detroit and the area is like, take a look at what the bombing of The Ukraine looks like.
Detroit is WAY worse than The Ukraine.
Wuff!
The tearing of the Tabernacle curtain to the most holy place
from top to bottom at Christ’s death should have verified
that Christ was the last sacrifice needed.
All prior sacrifices had pointed to him.
It’s sad more sacrifices took place for another 40 years or
so.
