"Children are considered pretty sturdy up here in the North.
During the whole giraffe debate my Faroese housemate was like “I don’t see why people are so offended by children seeing an anatomy lesson. On the Faroe Islands school children are shown how to kill a sheep”"

This is not particularly widespread or legal for Muslims in the West and not relevant to the topic at hand. The only use is creating a justification for religious hate.
Doesn’t sound like they’re hating on muslims, it sounds like they’re just… bemoaning the poor treatment of foreign sheep.
The issue is not that the sheep aren’t being treated badly, but they are generalized to being Muslim.
Being in Charlie Manson’s cult isn’t an American thing either, although most were Americans.
are you and I reading the same comment? It is a relevant anecdote to the topic at hand – the comic, depicting that different cultures have different customs, in this case of acceptable practices for butchering animals – which is not at all a “justification for religious hate”.
Personally, being aware of some of the other more brutal customs human civilization has come up with over the centuries (the Aztecs come to mind but I can name more if you wish), what Moroccans do with their sheep seems pretty tame to me.
I get the feeling you’re not commenting in good faith, though.
But why bring up that one in particular with a sweeping overgeneralization? It has got that smell. Using sweeping generalizations against people of “lesser” faiths, ethnicities, genders, or other affiliations which are protected always has that kind of smell.
