ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari has a black goat slaughtered at his house almost every day to ward off "evil eyes" and protect him from "black magic," a newspaper reported Wednesday.
Oddly Enough
A spokesman for the president told the Dawn newspaper the goats were slaughtered as an act of Sadaqah -- meaning "voluntary charity" in Islam whereby one gives out money or the meat of a slaughtered animal to the poor to win Allah's blessing and stave off misfortune.
"It has been an old practice of Mr Zardari to offer Sadaqah. He has been doing this for a long time," the spokesman, Farhatullah Babar, told the paper.
Can somebody move this guy to Salem, Ma. I was there a month ago and the streets looked like Halloween, wannabe witches everywhere. This guy would obviously shit himself right? God knows there would be a lot less goats around but at least he'd be safe from those evil demons.
