Quasimodo, I was happy to see your response which was the only sane, kind response in a sea of hateful, judgemental ones. People don’t have to agree or like other people’s customs and practices but no one has the right to go on a hate fest and attack someone.

Personally, I don’t know what the big outcry is all about. Don’t we all eat slaughtered turkeys on Thanksgiving? I am Christian and it’s on special holidays like Christmas/Easter that I buy beef or pork from a store and cook it. They might not be slaughtered in the name of religion but they are none the less slaughtered. What’s the big difference?

Food is a very integral part of every person’s culture, traditions, and religion. As long as people are not sacrificing and eating humans, why are people bothered?

Live and Let Live.

Tasmiha Khan, thank you for your story and sorry for the hate you received. Ignore the haters and keep writing. Best Wishes!
