Nah, just make the sandwiches as normal but wrap them up in a burqah.

In fact you could call it a "Burqah Bar"...

Yeah, I know. igmc...

Could call them hamburqahs. With the yellow arches of the infidels.

Halal Sandwiches

Thankyou for that. However, back on topic, I bet they still wouldn't buy a halal sarnie served up by a <infidel equivalent>

Right, having read a lot of books regarding the Crusades and such - Some in French I might add. You find that the Muslims were referred to as Infidels. They were deemed to be without "Faith" particularly in this case the Christian Faith.

I quoted Wikipedia because it was the easiest thing to do.

Answer this question, why would a Muslim use a word that has Latin origins? Surely they would have their own word that would have an Arabic origin.

Then how come Muslims use it all the time to refer to non believers, Einstein?

Learn your History.

What does the word "Infidel" actually mean?

First used in Middle English circa 1460 (adjective, noun), from the Middle French infidèle, and from Latin infidelis "unfaithful," later "unbelieving," In the 15c. meaning "a non-Christian" (especially a Saracen); later "one who does not believe in religion" (1526).Infidel has been used by Christians to name the people outside their religious group, the ones who do not have faith (fides in Latin).[2]

and how does it relate to infidelity ?

[Shimano105]

Learn your history.

"Infidel" was a term used to represent non-christians. Muslims etc.

There's a place just off Ludgate Circus towards St Pauls that advertises halal fillings, including (bizarrely) halal crabsticks...

How do you cut the throat of a ferkin crab!

[Diver]

Agreed.

I watched a goat being slaughtered halal style in Africa. It was awesome, made the vegetarians cry. Tasted awesome straight off the barbie too.

Quite often when deer hunting, we have to slit the throat of a still kicking deer, and often graloch it while still alive.
Something that has been done since the dawn of hunting history.
