    I greet you with the traditional greeting ‘Asalam-u-Alakum’ Yes Muslims slaughter animals during this time and give a majority of the meat to the poor or underprivelaged. Slaugthering is also allowed during other times of course, but during Id it is mostly obligatory on Muslims who can afford it. It is not always in March and varies every year and can be at any time of the year. The Muslims calender is lunar, not solar, thats why the times are different

    Violence has increased because THe ‘West’ is out to get Islam, their is a sense of ‘Islamophobia’ especially since Sep 11th. Open minded people can learn about Islam and know it is the truth, and ‘Westerners’ cannot stop them. Increasing interest and conversions to Islam has put other on the defensive, thats why thier massacering Muslims around the world. Muslims are fighitng in self defense. Looking at the real reason and not just what the media tells you would show you that. THats the reason.

    It is not mental torture as you put it. It has to do with faith. If you beleive in something stongly it will help you to abstain from it. There are many suggestions in the Hadiths (traditions of the Holy Prohphet Mohammend) and the Quran on how to abstain. ie: fasting, getting married young, etc.

    You shouldn’t be embarrassed. Muslim women are required to wears scarves for modesty. It has to do with respect and decency. When a woman with a mini-skirt, and a shirt revealing her breast walks in a room and a woman all covered walks in who will be considered a sex object and who will be considered a person? Advertisments exploit women showing men what they want to see, while covered women are NOT giving men what they want thus giving covered Muslim women more respect and dignity. Hair is the essence of beauty. Is is covered to hide that beauty from certain men, and can be revealed to certain men, ie, husband. Some women do not cover thier hair becasue they are misinformed and to caught up in the Western ideoligies of ‘freedom’ but they are being decieved.
