One wonders why PeTA is for stoppage of the Jallikattu so strongly. The same group is not bothered about other ritualistic massacres. here is a link. Readers can think about it

How can you allow something knowingly? Bulls and people get killed on a regular basis , so do we need such a sport simply because something similar is practiced elsewhere? Yesterday two people were killed by the bulls which goes to show that the reformed laws hardly have any impact

My feelings exactly! Just because there is no ban or people are not willing to agitate for ban against kurbani killings, do we think it is our fundamental right to kill bulls in such vicious sports? Today it is jallikattu, already people have started talking about agitating the existing bans against kambala in Karnataka, bullock cart races in Maharashtra and the cruel cock fights in Hyderabad. Should we start all of these vicious sports again just because there is no ban on kurbani? Or we rise above and focus on more important and significant issues?
Animal sacrifice is a part of Hindu religion too. But the difference being the way- Halaal or Jhatka. While Hindus kill it at once, Islam does slow death. I have Muslim friends who are very particular that we get chicken from Halaal cut shop when we invite them for food. My husband and daughters do not care whether their chicken is halaal cut or jhatka cut. Once I asked my friend why they prefer halaal cut only?? He replied that other than the religious significance, the slow seeping of blood out makes the meat more pure and healthy??I am still to find a logic in that.

Images in this article is much frightful. This beahvior with animal is crime.

Seeing an animal or a bird gradually suffering all along, is it not sadistic pleasure?
In Hinduism Sacrificing animals is done just with stroke. The animal dies instantly
It is disgusting to note to what lengths can proponents of an ideology stoop to score debating points. Whether an animal is killed in one stroke or more strokes it causes pain equally. Is there an instrument which can measure the pain os an animal being slaughtered? Please stop such arguments.

I doubut if they sit around to see the bleeding nor the suffering, they just leave it to bleed to death ...
I am against Animal sacrifice in any religion. In Nepal , a Hindu festival calls for a mass killing of animals, which is considered to be the World's goriest of mass killing of animals. A few hundred thousands buffaloes, pigs, goats, pigeons, rabbits and chickens are part of blood soaked festival every Five years to honor the Hindu Goddess of power.

Most of things about Islam, I have found are illogical. There is no answer to many logical questions. There was once a girl working in my team and once when doing her performance appraisal, I was supposed to also explain to her various aspects of her yearly compensation and give advise regarding tax benefits etc. She was quite young and so I suggested to her that she buy an insurance policy as soon as she can to avail tax benefit and also start saving for the future. She was literally so annoyed at me, I was quite taken aback. She then explained to me that getting a policy is similar to questioning God or Allah and putting a price on life given by him is a sin. After that, I kept my mouth shut!

I could not stop my laughter, after hearing that young Girl's version, getting a policy is like questioning Allah and putting a price on life given by Allah is a sin.
Can there be a better example than this to prove that most of the Islamic beliefs are illogical ?

When it is a question of religion , I doubt anyone can beat them in blind faith . Some of them are against even opening a bank account. I have several muslim students whose parents/father works in gulf and they send money through hundi system. But now after demonetization the youngsters have opened bank accounts realising it's importance in the coming days..

That is because right from the beginning of the new era as a new young country in 1947, these people have been constantly mollycoddled by Nehru and his minions, instead of focusing on their education and entry into mainstream society, their fanaticism with respect to religion has only been fed in return for votes. The result is they have remained at the far end of the hierarchy in terms of social, economic progress but in terms of crime, violence etc. they are the forefront.
