Prophet Muhammad was against cow slaughter, never ate beef: Tarek Fatah

January 16, 2016

New Delhi, Jan 16: Columnist and author Tarek Fatah on Friday stirred a hornet's nest with his remarks on Prophet Muhammad and cow slaughter.

Tarek – in a tweet that ruffled a few feathers on Twitter – wrote that Prophet Muhammad was against cow slaughter and had specifically told his followers about it.

“Prophet Muhamad never ate beef. He specifically told Muslims NOT to slaughter cows. He said only drink the cows milk,” Fatah tweeted. 

Known for his half-baked thoughts on Islam, Fatah made this remark when a fellow Twitterati pressed him for his opinion on cow slaughter.

Beware of such people,
Our bellowed prophet peace be upon him, said anybody who lies as misquoting against him, shall reserve their place in hell.

We should ask him for authenticated proof, sure he will fail to do so, then people have to decide his fate on the grounds of sharia law.

Hello, who is this Tarek Fatah, Agent of RSS, what he know about Prophet Swallahu Alaihi wa sallim. Where is quoted beef is Haram in Qur'an or Hadith.

What he is talking even not veda, purana, ramayana or in Mahabharatha there is no single word against slaughtering cow. 10000 of cows and other animal slaughter in yaaga, yajna.

Udupi, Dec 15: What was meant to be a post-pilgrimage gathering turned tragic in Padukere village of Brahmavar taluk, Udupi district, late Sunday night, when a clash among youths escalated into a fatal assault, leaving one man dead.

The victim has been identified as 30-year-old Santosh Mogaveera, a resident of Padukere.

According to preliminary information, the incident took place during a late-night drinking party involving a group of local youths who had recently returned after completing their pilgrimage to the Sabarimala shrine. An argument reportedly broke out among the group and soon escalated into a violent confrontation.

During the ensuing brawl, Santosh Mogaveera was allegedly assaulted and collapsed at the spot after sustaining serious injuries. He was rushed by local residents to a private hospital in Brahmavar, where doctors declared him dead.

On receiving information, senior police officials, including Brahmavar Circle Inspector Gopikrishna, Kota Police Sub-Inspector Praveen Kumar T, Station ASI Manthesh Jabagoudar, and head constables Pradeep and Ashok, visited the spot and conducted an inspection.

Police have taken four youths into custody in connection with the incident. A case has been registered at the Kota police station, and further investigation is underway to ascertain the exact sequence of events leading to the death.
