30 OCTOBER 2010 - PHOENIX, AZ: IBRAHIM SWARA-DAHAB and a customer place a goat in the killing tray at the Goat Meat Store, owned by Ibrahim Swara-Dahab, in Phoenix, AZ. Swara-Dahab came to the United States from Somalia in 1998. He has built a thriving business as a Halal butcher and provides freshly butchered goats and sheep killed following the precepts of Muslim tradition. His business not only caters to Muslims in the Phoenix area but also to refugees and immigrants from Africa and Asia. His small butcher shop is on the Gila River Indian Reservation, about 100 yards from the Phoenix city limits and doesn't have either running water or electricity. Photo by Jack Kurtz
