| ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Over a thousand Turks spent the first day of the Muslim feast of Eid al-Adha in emergency wards on Sunday after stabbing themselves or suffering other injuries while sacrificing startled animals. note to self: send more Japanese Seppuku trainers At least 1,413 people — referred to as "amateur butchers" by the Turkish media — were treated at hospitals across the country, most suffering cuts to their hands and legs, the Anatolia news agency reported. LOL! YCMTSU! Four people were severely injured, crushed under the weight of large animals that fell on top of them, the agency reported. Another person was hurt when a crane used to lift an animal tumbled onto him, the agency said. poor fluffy camels Three other people suffered heart attacks and died while trying to restrain animals, CNN-Turk television reported. duh! eid enthusiasts and pushmepullyouse-s is bad juju Muslims sacrifice file under allen's snackbar |

| #11 Deacon - It's been many years, but I've never forgotten the smell of scalded chicken feathers. :-( Forgot to mention above - in keeping with the theme of this story - that my grandmother never hurt either herself or us with that axe. Good thing for us she wasn't Turkish. |

| #10 Add water to cover and simmer gently for 2 hours. Remove from heat and set aside. In a Saute' pan melt the butter and saute' papaya, breadfruit, and onions. Add this mixture to the goat, return to pot under medium heat and simmer. Add the bouquet garni and habaneros. In a small bowl, mix the flour with enough water to whisk into a smooth paste. Stir in the gravy browning, and add the mixture into the goat along with the tomatos, ketchup, and bouillon cubes. Simmer until meat is tender. Season with salt and pepper and serve. wot no Jack or Colonel Lee sweetning up the branch in that recipe Deacon! |

| #6 I grew up in Louisiana during the 1950's and '60's. I can remember slaughtering cows, pigs, chickens, and turkeys by the dozens. I NEVER injured myself, nor did any member of my family. "Amateur butchers" does a disservice to those like me. These people are complete, total idiots who have never had much to do with animals. Does islam destroy brain tissue or something???? |
