Animal lovers are animal lovers and mostly apolitical Josh, so really this issue is about unnecessary, and even deliberate, cruelty to defenseless animals and not about "Muslim' bashing". The protest is against
all ritualistic slaughtering of animals - Halhal or Kosher, and the demands of the protesters are for the stunning of animals prior to slaughtering to be made legally compulsorily not for the banning of ritualistic slaughter
per se.
The reason that Halhal - and not Kosher - is predominant in posts on here regarding this issue, is because Farhad stated the Muslim point of view in defense of Halhal, whereas no Jewish member has brought the Judaic point of view into the thread.
There is a vast difference between legitimate comment and 'Muslim bashing' and you must learn to appreciate that difference.
