Halal - Right or Wrong?

[Supersam]

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.

Yes but theirs a difference. Whilst people are allowed to beleive what they like, it also cannot challenge basic human or animal rights.

How would you feel if someone put the heads of their dead family members outside their house because they beleived they would live on that way?

So many people are saying that it is against basic animal rights to prepare meat in this way.

However, this is untrue due to the fact that laws in the Middle East do indeed have people hanged for being homosexual and "honour killed" if they refuse to allow themselves to passed off in an arranged marriage. As a feminist who frequently shops with gays, I refuse to respect this as part of any faith!

Can i point out that the middle east is not a faith but a region... And also arranged marriage is practiced more in Sikhism and Hinduism than Islam...

[Virgin Mary]

The Middle East is primarily ruled using Muslim laws, also I know arranged marriage can be part of any religion (or otherwise), hence my saying "any faith". Maybe you're all going a little too far into political correctness mode and taking what I say as some verbal war against Islam. I don't agree with some of their approaches to life, that's my prerogative, I don't really care about respecting this halal just because it's bound in the safety of religion.

I "Have" to eat Halal Food, but you know, rules are made to be broken >;].

Yes, i do think its stupid, thats coming from a muslim, but you know, i may change religion later on in life.

[Malcolms]

Personally I don't think there's much point in the whole "Halal" thing. I'm sure many restaurants pretend to serve Halal food, is there any proof? What's the difference if it's been blessed or not? IT's killed, cooked and ate in the end.

[ToxicPaddy]

This is just disgusting, it should be banned in the UK. If muslims want to do it, they should do it in another country, not here. I hope they ban this its awful and sickening. Someone in the British government has to have the balls to stand up and say 'NO THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL' but they cant say it because it 'offends the minority' :rolleyes:

I'm not racist, and I do not want to sound offensive, but we should stand up against this if we want to and stop worrying about offending others!!
