It doesn't really bother me either way but I can understand why people are against it given the method of execution. Companies should be more open about using Halal meat, it would surely be less of a hit than being made out to be deceptive about it.

I love how people never cared about how their meat was killed but once they see 'halal' all hell breaks loose.

Indeed, people dont seem to care one bit how the chickens live, but when it comes to how they're killed, there is a big fuss.

Why is this even in the news? The animal is going to die either way, if they slaughter then the halal way then more people will be able to eat it than if they don't. It seems like a fair business move, if people cared so strongly about not eating halal then they would ask before ordering their food.

This is exactly my point people who complain about this sort of thing didn't even give it a seconds thought how animal lived/was killed in the first place.

Its news because of many other things, like Nigeria, the middle east and this

Head teachers raise 'serious concerns' over Islamic school take-over

"Concern of 'Trojan Horse' plot spreads to three more state primaries as head teachers' leaders voice concerns for the first time over the Islamic infiltration at schools in Birmingham "

[Christmas Dynasnow]

"The National Association of Head Teachers said it had found “concerted efforts” to infiltrate at least six schools in Birmingham."

That is ridiculous, although I don't see how that is problematic, it's just a religion, nobody complains about Catholics or Hindus taking over etc.. I would prefer to know a respectful Muslim rather than an ignorant/xenophobic atheist, I'm sure that is true for most people.

There's no difference in taste or quality, it's just to do with the way the animal is slaughtered - nobody thinks about where the toppings on their pizza came from before they started eating it: if they did, they probably wouldn't have meat on a pizza. That's probably why it's been kept quiet. People don't really know what halal means, and if they bothered to find out, they'd inevitably start thinking about animal slaughter and probably not want to eat it - which would be the case if they thought about how animals were slaughtered anyway.

For most people it's not the meat or the way the animal that's slaughtered that's a 'big deal' it's the principle of them not being told..as consumers paying their money for a product they are entitled to know exactly what that product is.

And Jessica why would they need to ask about the meat whilst ordering food? they are paying for a product and that product should be properly labelled.

Salman - I know it's not exactly the same but some people disagree with the way the animal is slaughtered with Halal meat, does it make them less important because that's a preference and not a religious opinion?

Don't be silly, those views are strictly customary depending on what nation/region it is. Lots of Muslim women work and have social lives and also why does it matter if a woman decides that she wants to be a stay at home mother?

Because pointing out that the British tabloids may be using this story to tap into people's fears of Islam is oh so extreme and left field

****ing really?

Muslim women can't work?

well it's a bit awkward that the Prophet's wife Khadijah was an incredibly successful businesswoman and straight up boss then

stop using wiki as your source.

Yes but does she decide or is she told. Half the problem with all religions is the interpretation, the sects the "this is what Allah, God is saying" BS. My one is right and you are wrong, god told me to steal that Cornetto and blow up that car.
