Why there is no explicit mention of islam and zionism? These two ancient religions are premier animal sacrificers. Especially muslims cut sheeps to this day in large numbers.

So does every culture except for vegitarians. // Liftarn

[edit] Abrahamic Traditions

Hello, I was hoping to find more information on religious animal sacrifice throughout the history of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. If somebody would like to write this story here that would be great. Thanks!

This is one of the best entries on the subject on the web, it gives a detailed account of sacrifices in many religions. Richard001 21:59, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Islam

It's rather strange not to mention Islam's continuing practice of animal sacrifice, especially at the two annual Eid festivals (Eid ul-Adha and Eid ul-Fitr). CarlFink 19:32, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
