Krimel was therefore correct when he pointed out to Bodvar that 
cannibalism and human sacrifice is not confined to Islam but in fact 
practiced among many Christians every week as the central theme of their 
liturgy.

[Krimel]
Please note that I said Christians practice "ritual" cannibalism. I did not
mean to suggest that they were grilling their neighbors. The question of
human sacrifice is interesting because while Jesus' death was a political
act not a "sacrifice;" the idea that God demanded Jesus' death as a human
sacrifice is certainly part of Christianity. In that sense it is a bit like
Platt's implied notion that what matters in morality is body count.

I am no expert on Islam but I am not aware of any such parallel beliefs
among Muslims.
