    I am sorry i am just learning about this holiday today. Can someone please fill me in on how this is not witch craft like?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_al-Adha

    is a holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God. It is also celebrated by the Druze, an esoteric non-Islamic faith, whose origins stem from Shiite Islam.

    he did a good job so he sacrificed him? and to celebrate the holiday muslims sacrifice animals?

    that is what witches in Haiti do!


    no trying to be rude or disrespect the holiday, i just think its a little strange.

    It is celebrated in All Muslim countries, As everyone buy Goat/Sheep/Camel/Cow/Bulls etc and sacrifice it to distribute Meat among poor etc. Plus if you read the history on wikipedia etc, you will understand why its a great day for Muslims.
