"Children are considered pretty sturdy up here in the North.

During the whole giraffe debate my Faroese housemate was like “I don’t see why people are so offended by children seeing an anatomy lesson. On the Faroe Islands school children are shown how to kill a sheep”"

    In Morocco when they sacrifice a sheep for Aid (Eid) all the men in the families just take the sheep to the roof of the apartment block and hack at the sheep with a blunt knife until it dies. None of these guys know what they’re doing and the other sheep watch their friends getting hacked up while they wait their turn. I’ve never seen it myself but I’ve got a friend who’s been a couple of times and she says it’s brutal.

      This is not particularly widespread or legal for Muslims in the West and not relevant to the topic at hand. The only use is creating a justification for religious hate.

        Doesn’t sound like they’re hating on muslims, it sounds like they’re just… bemoaning the poor treatment of foreign sheep.

          The issue is not that the sheep aren’t being treated badly, but they are generalized to being Muslim.

          Being in Charlie Manson’s cult isn’t an American thing either, although most were Americans.

        That is what happens when you know what you’re doing. I assume there are people just winging it, just like with everything else.

      They should give a government program of sheep killing lessons. Anyone have the king of morocco’s email address?
