There
is usually plenty enough of stress and even hurt on Eid al Adha
(Festival of Sacrifice). It's only bound to happen as families and
communities gather together, putting people with vastly different
worldviews together for an extended time. This year, however, Eid has
been particularly inauspicious and painful. First a crane accident
killed dozens of worshippers in Mecca. Then hundreds of worshippers at
Mina were trampled to death. And now we hear of a bombing at a Zaydi
Shia Islamic mosque in Yemen.
As
we exchange Eid greetings with each other, please let us also remember
our Muslim and non-Muslim siblings around the world for whom today is a
day of tragedy.
