Re: The days are numbered
ok now you are taking things to unnecessarily extremes and mixing issues up to make qurbani look a controversial practice.
Qurbani is not a ritual, its part of ibadat. Your haj is not qubool if you deliberately dont do qurbani during haj. Length of beard is sunnat, its not a ritual. Burqa is just a way of creating pardaa that islam asked for.
Btw, on the same token, one can say that going vegetarian, having a clean shaved face and and roaming around in see through clothing is also a ritual and lets get rid of it. Its amazing that what Islam asks is a ritual and what libertarians promote becomes the natural way of life.
