Halal - Right or Wrong?

[Virgin Mary]

To be honest the animal does actually suffer, I have witnessed a sheep being slaughtered, since the blood is in the body then the body will still function for a bit. Thats why when you get shot in the leg, you die after some time with pain. If you dont get medical treatment.

The way to kill them with a shot to the head is quicker as well.

Im muslim and its a tradition, the thing is that we consider the blood "najis" which means impure, if we take in blood our insides will become impure. So thats why we do it this way. And it isn't inhumane to be honest, its just a little suffering since it will die anyway. And either way you are making it suffer since you are killing it, who wants to be killed? I simply say that if you dont want to eat halal meat then dont, theres no point of saying its disgusting its someone elses belief.

Like Hindus having Divali (I dont think I spelt it right) and Christians having Christmas and Jews having Hanukkah (Doubt I spelt that right) if you say those are wrong then what is RIGHT? Its a belief, traditon and someone elses opinion of life.

I hate to tell you this but... you have blood inside you anyway.

who cares??

its meat, we shouldnt prepare it specially for them though.

Of course we have blood in our bodies but thats our own. If we get blood into our body we become unpure, that is why when we get a cut we wash it and use a plaster.

Muslims do say christmas is wrong lol.

not from where i come from, no.

no offence, but really, some of you really need to learn and appreciate racial and religious harmony. some of you really give britain a bad name.

i have seen an animal being slaughtered according to muslim law, and it was done in a split second.

your arguments on how the animal dies slowly and painfully is out of the question. either way, slaughtered halal or not, they die, and they are eaten by humans. :rolleyes:

What if someone throws blood at you?

Muslims do say christmas is wrong lol. And it's different from that, it's more like saying homosexuals should be stoned and young women killed for refusing to marry their arranged husband. But I doubt people agree with that just to be respectful.

You really need to broaden your mind and stop reading the mail. Just because a select few say somethign doesn't mean all think it, it happens with every religion, you get morons who think they speak for everyone. Look at the church of hate for goodness sake.

I wouldn't exactly call pretty much the entire middle east a select few, but ok.
