Decisions to become halal compliant would be made at the corporate level as opposed to individual franchises....The question is who in the upper mgt. Is making the decision and why. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20199098 Aside from that, if I were a stockholder, I would be asking why a business decision is being made based upon a particular religion, and why make a decision that potentially alienates a large percentage of a long-term, proven customer base is being made to placate to what amounts to 5% or less in these specific markets. I couldn’t see the numbers adding up. This has been going on for a long time in Europe. Newsflash, bro: Muslim aren't the "small minority" you think they are. I wouldn't be surprised if they are the majority in many European countries already. Think about it: Would it make sense to bend over backwards for some "small minority"? of course not. And if you look at the birth rates, Muslims will be the majority (if they aren't already) in a few years - say, 15 years. And the industry is reacting to that. Also, since people do not know what Halal means: It means animals getting tortured and killed without anesthesia and without being KO'd first, which means they die under terror, sh*t themselves, etc. So enjoy your stress hormones and e. coli. Also, all Halal meat is blessed by a Muslim. Idol worshipper meat. |

They're Sikhs and Hindus mainly. Indians are cool people. Agreed. I have never met a Sikh that I did not like. That's because they actually like and integrate with our culture and don't force theirs on us. Actually, most are Hindu. Hinduism and Sikhism are more philosophies than religions and shares many similarities with Buddhism. The Pakis are usually the Muslims. Islam (as we all know) is a cancer. Thanks guys for answering this. So I guess most of the Muslims in the UK are from Pakistan then! They are the biggest single group yes. [link to en.wikipedia.org] |

Yup, Islam will devolve a society. Life is a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves. |

[link to www.dailymail.co.uk] All it means is we all get a bit better quality of meat, but pork/ bacon/ ham should NOT be a choice taken away, the whole idiocy in their religion comes from pork not storing well which means you can die from eating badly prepared/ stored pig, these pricks take it the wrong way cos some cunt was responsible for relaying the "Word of God", when it was just an idiot doing a JOB and issuing a religious policy to not eat pork to cut down on the number of deaths and illness arising from eating it. Today we have refrigeration, today we have knowledge, religious fundos, can never get to grips with new found knowledge, as they choose unaltered tradition as a safe guide to life, stagnating their development as a species. I don't agree with how meat is treated and slaughtered in this country, anyone hwo has been to a slaughter house KNOWS what i fucking mean, it is FUCKING VILE, the animals are abused, tortured and killed inhumanely, more is always produced than what is needed and therefore wasted due to the capitalist model. I choose not to eat meat at all, cos to do so would be to support how the animals are treated, but if they were kept right and slaughtered HUMANELY by severing the main artery with a SMALL incision in their natural habitat, then i would, western meat is BAD JUJU, it is NOT in harmony/ symbiosis with the whole organism called Gaia, it is wrong on the basis of it being self harm. |
Mitheriel User ID: 56585089 Canada 04/30/2014 10:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What do they propose humanity do? If we're all vagitarians, then what becomes of the animals? Oh I know, they live on nature preserves in a perpetual wild state of total bliss to frolic and play until they evolve into loving and caring fluffy humanoids. Of course in every ecosystem we know of, there are predators and prey. So then there will be a peta officer to go out and investigate the scene where a lion killed a gazelle. Of course there can be no lions if they go around killing and eating other animals. But wait, without the balance of nature, or controlled culling of the herds, there would be grazing animals dying all over the place from starvation when they multiply and outstrip the ecosystems ability to support them anyway, and if not going extinct from destruction of their own habitat, dying horrible screaming deaths all around the World weather peta plans on rushing to their aid or not. end of hypothesis |

I'm confused... How is eliminating a food choice that is approved by my religion, to appease another religion, balance? It would seem that they would find balance by having foods approved by Islam, Judaism, Christianity, etc., all of them, so that regardless of your religion you have a choice in your food - as approved by someone asserting that they are in the secret "I know what God wants" club...but that's a topic for a different thread!! Lastly, the omission of bacon has got to be a SIN!! Conk |

But if I did, I wouldn't any more. Quoting: TondelayoSchwarzkopf Don't boycott them, go everyday and bring some raw bacon with you. Every time you reach for something make sure your hands are greasy. Spread bacon fat over any surface you can think of. It will be impossible to clean it all and any Muslims eating there will inevitably come in contact with pork. Rub your palms with bacon before you inter so its on the door, before you refill your drink, before you go to the bathroom, on your money so they get it with change back, touch everything you can. |

People are unknowingly being sold halal , they are not requesting it. Yes they are and no they are not. Go into your local grocer and ask the manager. Insist upon it. I did at Morrisons to the butcher manager and he knew that their slaughterhouses were not yet halal. I felt like standing in the meat section and asking people - do you know what halal means - sacrificed to "Allah" - and would they buy it after seeing my sign. Its sneaky and dishonest for these industries to change a large percentage of their slaughterhouses over to Allah sacrificing institutes when 4% of the population is Muslim. and the government aided it and abetted it by opening up work permits to recruit them when those are good paying jobs and should have gone to UK citizens. There is no need to convert meat processing plant after meat processing plant and label it sacrifices to the false idol "Allah" when 96% of the population, if they knew and were told exactly what it is, would object. |
