An Afghan refugee stands next to sheep that he and his father haven't been able to sell, on the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, or Feast of Sacrifice, on the outskirts of Islamabad, Pakistan, Monday, October 6, 2014. The holiday that started Monday in Pakistan. It commemorates the willingness of the prophet Ibrahim – or Abraham as he is known in the Bible — to sacrifice his son in accordance with God's will, though in the end God provides him a sheep to sacrifice instead. On the start of the holiday Muslims slaughter sheep, cattle and other livestock, and give part of the meat to the poor. (Photo by Muhammed Muheisen/AP Photo)
