A lot of ignorant people on this forum.
If you look at research on halal vs non-halal, it shows that halal is actually less painful on the animal as it dies instantly as apposed to being stunned which causes the animal pain, the halal way is an instant procedure.
Some people are saying that they want to be warned that they are eating halal food, how is it any different to non halal meat? Halal means permissible, it just needs to be slaughtered differently and with a prayer said before the slaughter, so how could it taste any different?
There are some halal subways or places that get rid of pork, but why are people complaining? the owners obviously want to get the most money out of their shop, its a franchise so they can do what they want, open your own non halal one if its such a big deal!
Did you know (and I'm sure you do, just don't like to admit) most halal meat is stunned before killing anyway, just like non Halal meat. Did you know a bolt through the head is regularly unsuccessful and can cause an animal massive distress (if the stunning hasn't caused that already...
If so, then it is not considered halal!
One of the local ASDAs have even opened Halal World, so naturally there is a market for it. My only grievance with that is it has replaced a non-halal butchery, but obviously, given the area, it made economic sense. Although I do find it a little discriminatory that only muslim butchers can work the counter there (if true!).
It is not true, it doesn't matter who works there, as long as it is Halal, that is only true for Judaism, that once a non jewish person touches their food it is not kosher anymore, or in the process of making it I think.
I remember reading somewhere that a Muslim community in London were trying to ban anyone flying the English flag on a street where the Muslim community thrive.
well it has nothing to do with Islam, so those people who want the ban are idiots and you should judge them as the person not the religion!
Really?
You may want to try living near one of the Pakistani/Bangladeshi self enforced ghettos near where I live!
Certainly no go areas after sundown, my Pakistani mate wont let me walk to town from his house on my own. Most times we've walked through this area he's had to tell groups of Pakistani lads to back off 'cos I'm his mate.
We're talking an area that's almost exclusively Pakistani. Maybe 4% nationally but before you scoff at "Islamic zones" you might want to try living in the real world!
Such a stupid thing to say, these "Pakistani/Bangledeshi" are obviously thugs, they do not represent muslims at all, do you really not understand that? if it was a 'islamic zone' then anyone can do what they want in that area as it is not an Islamic country so muslims are meant to respect it! you shouldn't judge a religion based on some thugs!
I am serious
