Did he?

I'm taking this as some shaky inference rather than anything you can quote.

Mind you, I don't have access to the direct Hotline that you have.





No, sorry, you can't have it both ways

You said about Mohammed ... "[iYou can’t just claim that your continuing the Abrahamic tradition after a 600 year hiatus)[/i"

As the church needed the conflab in Nicea (sp?) to sort the Trinity out, 300 years plus after Christ, doesn't suggest to anyone that the Abrahamic tradition was anything like stable in the church, so to dismiss Islam on the basis of being 600 years too late is pushing it a bit.

Well they do some good science and tech and films – and since they're so like us and we're so like them, one would assume ...



Oh.

Not to in any way condone halal methods, but from what I've heard from some sources (the organisation I work for organises meat inspectors etc) some of the mega modern abattoirs shouldn't be imagined to be sensational places when it comes to animal welfare, simply by dint of how industrialised the process has become.



Again, it's a reason I'm happy to pay a little more to get my meat direct from farmers most of the time; cutting out assorted middle men and therefore ending up with far more of my spend actually going on the piece of meat and not a chain of businesses that all need their profit.

Beats me why Kirky bothers asking the opinions of us mere mortals when he has a hotline to 'Big J' himself. Why not ask him? I suppose it must get a tad irritating when he's always right though! It must be crap playing Cluedo with him too.

How would you slaughter an animal if you couldn't just nip down to the butchers/supermercado to buy meat?

Do the Jewish kids have to eat Halal meat rather than Kosher meat?



Maybe schools should be made to have separate kitchens/dining rooms to cater for each religious group in the school?



Better still, why not remove religion totally from our schools and feed them all the same stuff. If the parents don't like it then they should provide their kids with a packed lunch.



Why do these idiots keep arguing over who believes what version of a fairy story?
