Ever been to a slaughterhouse? The way we eat meat without knowing what actually goes on during mechanized animal killing is perhaps worse. I am a meat-eater, but a visit to a slaughterhouse gives you pause. So at least they are actively seeing what killing is all about, instead of buying meat as a consumer item without any thought of where it comes from. Of course, the sad thing is that many of these Muslims probably get excited about bleeding animals to death, instead of using it as an opportunity for reflection.
