From Dalia Ziada at Bikya Masr:

On the morning of the first day of Eid el-Adha, while watching the sheep from my house and other houses in my street herded, without resistance, to a spot at the end of the street to be slaughtered, they reminded me of the submissive majority of my country, who are not willing to show any resistance against the tyrants who drive them, slowly but surely, to their definite end ... They are stronger [than sheep], but still do not want to resist the man driving them with a stick from behind or the man waiting for them with a big knife at the other end.
