Final Paper

Topic: Muslim sacrifice during Ramadan in West Africa.
Title: Muslim Sacrifice During Ramadan

My final paper will be about the traditional sacrifice of an animal during the religious Muslim holiday of Ramadan as it pertains to Western Africa. I plan to start the paper off by explaining a little of what it means to be Muslim. From there I will go into the meaning of Ramadan, and what the sacrifice means during the holiday. Next I plan on researching the history of Ramadan and the sacrifice, and see how different traditions first started. Finally, I will talk about current sacrificial traditions during Ramadan in Western Africa.
