One of the reasons I can’t take religion entirely seriously :
“If a man exhibited the best possible humor and more character in every way, except that he mistreated one of his chickens, he should be counted among those who have good humour and moral character.
-Fudayl Ibn ‘Iyad, in “Qushayri: al-Risalat al-Qushayriyya”
You all know how I feel about chickens.

You are so funny! I can’t take religion seriously but for an entirely different set of non-poultry related reasons….

I wonder if the Egyptian abbatoir workers who were caught on tape plunging knives into the eye sockets of cattle (in order to use the knife as a lever) will receive a special citation from Mohammed himself.
So much for Islam abhorring the infliction of cruel and unnecessary pain on any animal.
