Due to a coincidence in the timing of the Islamic Lunar calendar, the
Feast of Sacrifice (
Eid-al-Adha) currently falls near to the "Christmas Holidays" in the West. This Feast follows the Holy Month of Ramadan and lasts for three days. It coincides with the annual Haj or pilgrimage to Mecca and Medinah.
The feast itself commemorates the famous Bible story where Abraham shows his willingness to sacrifice his first born son, Ismail. Or at least it would be a famous Bible story if the Jews hadn't "corrupted" the Bible and inserted their own progenitor Isaac into the text.
Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV, the official TV outlet for the ruling party of the Palestinian people has a show geared toward children called "
Pioneers of Tomorrow." The host is a young lady whose on screen name is Saraa. She had a cohost that looked a little too much like Mickey Mouse who caused a bit of controversy. To silence the protests the mouse character was sent on a "suicide bombing mission" and never returned, thus providing Palestinian children with a worthy example to follow.
In place of the Mouse we now have a "friendly" Killer Bee named Nahoul. In this clip, Nahoul and young Saraa talk about sharing the happiness of the holidays with others. The clip is hosted by
MEMRI TV - the Middle East Media Research Institute, which translates Middle Eastern news and cultural programs into English for Western audiences.
The clips at MEMRI TV are generally "okay" as far as the discerning viewer is concerned. I was going to embed the video but will just provide a link for now. Interesting holiday children's programming. What do you think? PETA might have some opinions to express about the "slaughter" of the sheep and calves.
