Are you sacrificing a goat or are you the goat?

Eid Al Adha is a memorial commemorated of the sacrifice Abraham was ready to make of his son when Allah wanted to test his faith. A story that is a part of the Torah, Bible and the Koran. Three faiths with one origin and interpretations that may vary but the core is of the obedience of Abraham to the call to sacrifice his son as a test, which later was intervened by God who stopped Abraham from sacrificing his son and gave him a ram to complete the sacrificial ritual. Since a ram is not available in all parts of the world, Muslims who commemorate this day by sacrificing camels, sheep, buffaloes, cow or a goat.

Once this beautiful religious sacrificial festival is over, the question arises, who is the goat? Muslim community is facing the worst challenge from the Genesis of Islam. Muslim nations have fought against each other and millions killed. Even a goat is slaughtered with compassion unlike how Muslims in war torn nations are being killed. US initiated or instigated wars are another massacre of Muslim community in many parts of the world. Yes there have been Muslim atrocities and conflicts against Muslims against Muslims like in Afghanistan or Shia Sunni conflict or even act of terrorism done in many parts of the world which kill even non Muslims. Then this has nothing to do with Islam or the teachings of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH). This is just certain minority segment of Muslims radicalized and gone rogue. So does this mean Islam and the whole of Muslims worldwide are terrorists and inhuman.  

Colonial powers in history and in recent history and today's time, America has been responsible for the maximum killing of human beings. America will aid more countries as allies to keep the Industry of war churning, as it helps in sale of their arms and ammunition. The only Industry on which American economy survives. To the extent they can't control gun violence in their own country, resulting in innoncents killed and that too many a times kids going to school. International media likes to prove, highlight and show violence only of Muslims and Muslim nations and never the garbage in their own nations of killings, rapes or forced evacuation of Muslims from Palestine by Israel. 

The need for the Muslim community as they celebrates Eid Al Adha sacrificing a goat, is for unity. Pray for wisdom and blessings of Allah on them so that they are not going to be the goats to be killed.

May you have an enlightened and a Happy Eid
