I am puzzled!

SIR—I get puzzled whenever I hear that the Muslims of Pallisa District are bitter over the slaughtering of animals by Christians in public markets.

Is the slaughtering of animals an obligation instituted by Prophet Mohammed? Why should such a simple matter cause disunity among a people who share so many other interests?

Supposing Christians, who are the majority in Uganda refused to buy meat sold by Muslim butchers for ‘religious reasons’ where would that leave the Muslims?
