Halal only outlets

[Haiku]

If you don't like the product being offered then take your money elsewhere. It may not change the restaurant's policy, but in regard to this particular case, you'll probably end up eating better quality food.

I won't eat pig because I think it's ugly and fat.

Yeah but it tastes so good.

 

[Craterloads]

Oh, and Asim, quit trying to justify why you won't eat pork for reasons other than your religion. The ones you've provided do nothing but enlighten your indoctrination even more.

agreed. As a muslim ill happily admit to not eating pork because of my religion, i would think Asim would probably be the same. Been brought up that way, since childhood so only natural.

Smells disgusting in my opinion and nearly makes me vomit when I open a pack(work in McDs)

 

[Tr Insanity]

can you tell me how killing anything can be done "humanely"? what do you when you say mean humanely?

i just dont understand your arguement, its like saying pizza hut is discriminating against asians because it does not sell currys or sushi

so they dont want non-halal food, ok then. most 'indian' restaurants are halal, but you never would notice. any business that wants to stay alive needs to understand its market and cater for it. business 101 mate!

honestly, its the one of the craziest objections to an islamic principle i have ever come across!

True killing isn't exactly humane, but I'd go for the most humane way of killing something.

Like I said, I'm not against them and this part "& why should we have Halal only restaurants then? They have other options so why don't THEY go eat somewhere else? See I can do it too. " was just in jest.

And yes you are right, by making the chain Halal only was probably a good business strategy but would it be that hard to offer the choice?



Just reread my whole argument this morning and it's pretty terrible, you're right: there's nothing wrong with serving Halal only meat, someone who wanted Halal only meat wouldn't go to a normal restaurant and someone who wanted non-Halal meat wouldn't go to a Halal restaurant.

 

[Strife212]

You'll have to do better than that if you want to convince me that halal meat is of good enough quality to eat.

lolololololololololol

I don't agree with them offering only Halal meat either but the meat is exactly the same. And please, no one gives a damn if its humane, people are just saying that as an excuse. If torturing the animals made the meat more tasty everyone would be all for it.

Yes cos Muslims wouldn't eat there knowing non-halal meat was also cooked there so they would lose Muslim customers.

Thats a complete lie, where are you getting your information from???

I eat at subways nearly every day, so do my mates, family the majority of them being muslim. And as you know subways serve every possible meat possible including Pork. We just order tuna subs and ask politly for them to chnage their gloves when handling our food

It would likely be a logistical nightmare for a company.

Think about it - building business relationships between Halal and non-Halal suppliers. Seperate delivery and storage of different meats. ONE slip-up could end up in a PR ****storm. It's not worth it. That's only the tip of it.

BS. I'm not even a practising Muslim. I do drink, drugs and sex. I won't eat pig because I think it's ugly and fat.

Then YOU, my friend, are even more of a fool than I pegged you being.

BACON. IS. AWESOME.

Note the word "cooked". I guess if the restaurant had a notice saying that the halal meat is cooked seperate to the non-halal stuff then that would be okay. Why bother with the logistics though like people have said?

Yunno, I read an article a while back in the newspaper about the way chickens were slaughtered in the way you might call "non-barbaric". The chickens are stunned first and then boiled, after this 25% are still alive so they go through the process again. I don't know about you but I'd rather have my throat cut quickly with a knife that HAS to be sharp then endure the former method. Each to there own I guess/

Bad example - as chickens are usually stunned and have their throat slit in non-helal slaughters.

And lol @ boiling.

I can totatly understand where your coming from. Its as strange for YOU as someone saying chicken is disgusting etc But what you have to understand from a young age we (muslims) are thought to not eat pork etc which sticks with you.

I completely understand what you mean from a Muslim standpoint. HOWEVER, my response was entirely to Asim.

He's just admitted that his aversion to bacon is NOT due to his Muslim upbringing, but rather that the finds the animal itself ugly and fat.

I think that's a lie, but he does his best to pretend otherwise.

Then why do I happily eat other non-halal foods and do non-halal activities?

Are you having a go at me because I said pigs are ugly and fat? are you a pig aswell?

My cousin is like that, he eats at McDonalds, etc all NON-Halal stuff but refuses to eat pork. Its probably a subconcious thing to be honest. On a personal note i do aswell think a pig is a dirty and filty animal hence the phrases

"filthy as a pig" "you dirty pig" police officer reffered to as "pigs" etc etc its commanly known as a filty animal

 

[silversurfer]

How can Halal only outlets discriminate against non muslims? You don't have to be a muslim to eat Halal meat.

Too true and this is nothing new. I used to eat at a halal version of kfc except they were better, spicy chicken

You did have to flagellate yourself while wearing a beard when paying but it was worth it

 

[I get around]

In the words of Lord Rooker, former Food and Farming minister and incumbent Chair of the Food Standards Agency: "I object to the method of slaughter ... my choice as a customer is that I would want to buy meat that has been looked after and slaughtered in the most humane way possible."

It's a fast food chain, the animals been raised in horrible conditions either way.

Personally I think this is good, maybe people might look into where their meat has come from instead of thinking cheap crap is a happy animal raised on a farm, in reality its an animal intensively reared in near torturous conditions.

It's just a racism article, slaughter method doesn't change a meats taste.
