Peak Cultural Enrichment: Muslim-Dominated City Council of Hamtramck, Michigan, Votes to Permit Animal Sacrifice in People's Backyards, Over Objections of Non-Muslim Minority

Of course. Of course.

Hamtramck City Council votes to allow animal sacrifice for religious purposes in the city

After months of debate, the city council has voted to allow the practice of animal sacrifice, for religious purposes, in Hamtramck.

The decision ultimately came down to a more than 30-year-old U.S. Supreme Court ruling that says cities cannot infringe on religious freedom under the first amendment.

This is the media, so they're lying to you (of course). The case they're talking about is the Santaria animal sacrifice case.

The court did not find that people had a right to sacrifice animals. It found only that a law specifically passed to block a religious minority (Santaria) from sacrificing animals was a violation of the right to free exercise of religion.

In other words, it is perfectly legal to generally ban animal sacrifice, or the slaughter of animals outside of a slaughterhouse and apply that law to religious minorities. The Supreme Court only said you cannot ban something specifically to thwart the practice of a religion.

Presumably, slaughtering animals is already illegal in Michigan (except in licensed slaughterhouses) or else they wouldn't have had to pass an ordnance permitting it.

So they're lying to you, as usual, giving it the "what's the big deal, the Supreme Court decided this in 1993 already" treatment.

But it's a lie. And either these "expert journalists" can't be bothered to look up a major Supreme Court case, or did look it up, and chose to consciously lie to readers to convince them this is No Big Deal.

The act of animal sacrifice is often practiced among Muslims during Eid.

"Our city is dirty enough. We don't want to make it more dirty," a Hamtramck resident said during a city hall meeting.

"Really ridiculous catastrophic resolution," another one said. "If it's not passed then we are ready to take it to courts for religious rights because it is constitution."

English speaker fluency level: Beyond native.

In fact, there's already work-around for Muslims: They can just pay a butcher to slaughter an animal at the bucher-shop.

But they're whining that that's not good enough.

They want the Caliphate to exist here in America:

Many Muslims pay a butcher to perform the religious sacrifice but for some families, it's just not practical.

"A lot of families will typically do it in the confines of their property like in their backyard or their garage and dispose of the animal accordingly," Director of Safe Spaces at Cair Michigan Nour Ali said.

The rule of Allah-mandated colonization only goes in one direction, naturally:
