The victim is tied in
the center with a crowd closely monitoring every move it makes. Some praising
its beauty, others cursing their luck! Wish they had one better! The carnival
is about to set-off and those expensive new designer Kurtas will just
have to be protected from potential stains. Everyone is expecting a triumphant
savior of mankind with a knife bigger than sword to take the center stage. The
prey is looking powerless; maybe deep down, it knows what’s coming! Suddenly, a butcher-looking fatso
turns up to the relief of the crowd waiting so anxiously for the show to begin.
Cheers, Chatter, Noise! Next, a roar of “AllahuAkbar” and bang!
The animal has been
slaughtered. Muslims across enjoying the scene while kids watch with an
interest of a lifetime sitting on the shoulders of their guardians, as if it
were a Hollywood blockbuster. The eyes couldn’t have sparkled brighter. The fun
almost orgasmic!
Qurbaani? In the name of Allah? Well if that helps you sleep at night!
