Halal meat..do you prefer it?

[El Kabong]

I prefer to eat what I want regardless of the views of certain religious groups. What is Halal or "permissible" to Muslims is sacrilege to Hindus, so why is 1 religion dictating over others?


I eat pork and I drink bourbon....that ain't changing anytime soon.

....fucking EVERYONE capitulating to Muslims irritates me. I have nothing against peaceful practitioners of Islam but going to a sandwich shop and being outraged at meat because of your religion is pretty fucking ridiculous.

At this point I begin to wonder "What DOESN'T piss Muslims off"? I don't want to harp on them, but if you look at Christians (whom I have a lot more experience dealing with living in the Southeastern United States) a lot of Bible beaters refrain from drinking. Now they might look at drinkers (especially those blasted liquor drinkers ) with disdain, but what you DON'T SEE are those very same Teetotalers going to Bars and ordering soft drinks and then getting all pissy because the Bar serves booze....this shit right here is EXACTLY like that. Muslims SEEM (I said "SEEM" mind you) to seek out shit to be outraged about. If I don't practice Islam then what is wrong with me having some bacon or a pork chop? I'm going to do what I want because I don't follow Islam, I don't believe God wants me to abstain from alcohol either, but I don't believe Christians are going to stir up enough shit to where I can't drink again (again...because they DID have Prohibition, but that shit won't even stop me).

I'm all for Liberty, if you like Halal meat, fine more power to you, but don't fuck with what I do.

actually, I think there is an unspoken media propensity to keep saying all this shit about Muslims just to make the public angry and frightened.

Notwithstanding the few nutters that you get in every religion, I've yet to meet a Muslim who gets offended over pointless shit like this.

If I've ever had it, it was unknowingly in a shawarma or something. I can't imagine chanting Allahu Akbar during the slaughter makes a great deal of difference in the taste. Like the idea of the animals being killed more humanely otherwise though, as I believe is part of it.

A lot of the reason pork is forbidden in that part of the world actually dates way back to the days before refrigeration was possible, the meat would spoil very quickly in desert heat and was susceptible to all kinds of viruses that would make people sick etc.

EXACTLY, same with shellfish!

Jewish people who don't eat shellfish or pork, don't complain about restaurants serving pork or shellfish, they just don't fucking eat it.


Not everything in the world is a slight against one certain religion....I wish a few people got that idea in their heads

Lyle there are plenty of Orhtodox Jews in New York and New Jersey and connecticut who would NEVER enter a restaurant let alone EAT there that is serving NON_KOSHER foods.

It should make no difference if you eat meat anyway. Yes you should have the choice and knowledge of what you are eating but if you use to eat elsewhere just because you do not like the religion or the religious aspects of it should not be reason enough to not eat it.

The state of our seas nowadays I would say a prayer if I still fished. "please lord may this blighter not have swum in the radioactive waste from the local subs or swallowed a condom from a sea born sewage outlet, I don't mind trout but I dont want to catch the other type of brown fishy" :-P

They should have to swim after the fish and slit their gills in the name of King Neptune.
