Eid is a holiday. Properly celebrated, it involves sacrificing animals. I remember reading that North African Arabs were bitching this year because the price of animal sacrifices skyrocketed this year. The kiddies were disappointed not to see some small beast going under the knife.

"Eid is a holiday. Properly celebrated, it involves sacrificing animals."

Correct. It does. I have no idea if Muslims in the US practice animal sacrifice in celebration of EID. I imagine only Muslims and rabid leftists would buy such stamps...which is extremely ironic since so many rabid leftists are PETA-types.



RAFAH, GAZA, Feb. 11 (UPI) -- Palestinian boys shows their bloodied hands after their families slaughtered a cow on the first day of Eid al-Adha holiday, in Rafah refugee camp in Gaza on Feb. 11, 2003. The ritual for Eid al-Adha, or the feast of the sacrifice, commemorates God's provision of a ram to substitute for Abraham's impending sacrifice of his son. Muslims sacrifice cows, sheep, goats, camels or bulls, and give a share of the meat to the poor during the four-day religious holiday.

Shows you what I know, nothing. Thanks for setting it straight.

Oh, lol about the N.A. Arabs complaining about the cost of animal sacrifices a while back. Too bad. Guess they can take it up with PETA.
