The Sufi's have always tried to soften the blunt savagery of Islam and the other two perpetuators of this twisted moral teaching. With good reason. It is a heinous story that should be denounced and ridiculed. Any one who considers Abraham a role model should not have children.
The moral virtue is simple: loyalty.
Abraham loved his son. And waited to a very long age until he had him. So sacrificing was a test for loyalty more than anything.
Still; if chose to do it God will stop it -like the real story-, if he chose not to, his son will also live. So his son will live in both scenarios.
Loyalty.
Disgusting. Who would serve a thing that commands you to kill your own child?
