AP98 and Gwajyo ! I beg to differ on your stances.....I live in the USA or have US citizenship does not mean I should give up everything, my race, religion and start slaughtering cows !! I totally agree with ARKO, minorities esp Muslims etc have been consuming cows for years in Nepal...its just that slaughtering in your backyard is not permissible.....I don't think you have to be a rocket science to differentiate the two.... AP98, what will your so called US sentiments do if you do something like chop off Jesus's head ( of a statue of course) or do something of that fashion, or try Slaughtering PIGS in Pakisthan or Middle East???
