How many holidays are in Indonesia and Algeria Guys ? @madokafc @Jakartans@PkDef @MarveL @Ceylal

 

[Soulspeek]

Prophet Abraham himself sacrificed a Ram. So traditionally it has to be Ram or a Goat. South Asian muslims insist on slaughtering cow because it gives them some kind of pleasure to see Hindus squirm at the sight.
