Originally posted by xoggoth View PostQuite agree. Harmless cultural practices are fine, too much fuss over the Muslim veil IMO, but some things are not acceptable and religion should not be a getout. Non religious people may be equally convinced that their practices are right but they are not handed these exceptions.

Unless all the people who profess to be outraged by halal spend extra money on e.g. free-range chickens, eggs and ham from pigs allowed to roam, they're simply being hypocrites, or worse.
As a vegetarian, I find this whole thing nuts, but there you go - tolerance and compromise.Comment

Flippin' heck - there was me prepared to close this thread, when thoughtful and considered debate broke out.
Did someone call out 'Rugby Rules!' while I was gone?"I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

Let me repeat:
My problem is around the forced decision to feed all children Halal meat in my kid's school. I don't care if you eat Halal or not; I care that my child is not being allowed a choice of non-Halal meat alongside the Halal option.
And if it isn't a problem, then why label the meat at all? Can't you just accept that the label says "chicken with rice". Does it HAVE to say "Halal chicken with rice" ?Comment
