So long as the meat is stunned first, whatever really.
Did you confuse the forum with the Daily Mail comments section perchance?Comment

However, it is forbidden to use methods of stunning that can actually kill the animal, such as bolt guns. Animals not killed by ritual slaughter are considered carrion meat, which is haram.Comment

I mean, if you can serve halal chicken to the rest of the world, then why can't you have some "halal" bacon to even things out?Comment

All meat production is cruel to animals. Some people just happen to fixate on one aspect that coincidentally is a Muslim practice. What are the chances of that?
I don't know what you think I am an apologist for. I disagree with all meat production.Comment

What the f**ks the deal here?
I'm all for integration and equality but this just smacks of political correction gone wrong and of utter madness.
Yes, modern meat production is cruel. Partly because many of our local abattoirs have closed and most stuff goes through industrial scale processing plants where animal welfare seems secondary to productivity. But two wrongs don't make a right & non stun halal (and kosher) should be banned as it has been in Denmark among other places.
You want to practice your religion? Fine but you've got to do it within the parameters of the norms of a civilised society and barbaric slaughter practices certainly don't fit into most people's idea of what those parameters are. Ditto the subjugation of women & antipathy towards homosexuals. Other religions (well Christianlity) change to reflect the modern world we live in. Why not Islam?Comment
