A belated Eid Mubarak! to all Muslims on the ocassion of Eid al-Adha (the Feast of Sacrifice) which fell on last Friday (or Saturday for some Muslim nations). I apologise for not mentioning about this earlier, but I had been busy with the festivities.
As I have written on the topic almost two years ago, things does not seem to have changed much since then.
You would think that this so-called “Islam Hadhari” government, with all their talk about Islamic values and emphasis on Islam [not!] would actually have a tendency to focus more on Eid Adha, the most important festival in Islam which commemorates the sacrifice that our liege-lord Abraham (peace be upon him) made of his beloved son Ishmael (peace be upon him). Of course the corrupted Babble gives a different account of the story of the Sacrifice by giving the right of the first-born son Ishmael to Isaac (peace be upon him), but that is a different issue for another time. Unfortunately, I do not see any television shows touching on Eid Adha or even the Hajj, if at all.
The only show that I saw last night related to this was a documentary on Discovery Channel entitled Revealed: The Hajj. Very educational and rewarding, but that is not the point of this criticism.
