[Gromit]

I'm not sure a lot of folks would respond to a guy that went around grining and nodding at strangers regardless of whether they were Muslims or not

[Ric.ror]

Ps hope your heads better
It's just the weather for a brisk walk
That'll kill or cure you

[Ric.ror]

But Pixi - do you think it was because he was a Muslim they would not talk to him

[Ric.ror]

Pixi don't clean with a headache
That letting the female race down

'Muslims are integrating'

When we see evidence of it in this country then that statement may be true

They create their own mini communities which become no go areas for whites

.....but that's integration for you eh?

[emmie]

that is the line you hear constantly, that is only the minority, well Hitler was in a minority, but he succeeded by persuading people by force to do things his way.
And the minority as i have seen in the capital can become the majority. Peaceful people don't put bombs on buses and trains. They may be the minority to you, but they killed people from all walks of life, and that could have been you or me.

Pixi Could I come back to this question // One thing I have noticed when I socialise with Muslims they are quite happy me being an atheist far more than if I was a RC. Is that the case or is it just where I live ? I get invited to Islamic festivals even though or maybe because of the fact I'm an atheist but in conversation with them they seem to be very much against the Pope . I wonder if that is the norm amongst Muslims , maybe as an atheist I'm no threat, so to speak, whereas a religion as doctrinal as RC is

Would you please these poor Muslims alone here on a AB ?

AB is waayy to anti-muslim

[emmie]

they are crazy i grant you that, but even moderates can be swayed.

[MrMister]

Rephrase with correction (hang over this morning):

Would you please leave these poor Muslims alone ?

AB is waayy too anti-muslim

In Australia at least some of the major supermarkets sell only halal meat. At least one of the big brand chicken suppliers only have halal chickens. They just don't widely advertise the fact.

It is no big deal. A cleric says a prayer before the animals are killed and the entire processing is normal practice. The prayer bothers me even less than someone saying "Grace" at a dinner. I don't believe in their faith but it has no effect on the food. I don't begrudge the practice if it makes them feel better.

Indeed I think it is healthy to acknowledge the source of one's food and I often pause for a moment on that thought before I chomp into an animal that died for my nutrition.

However my acknowledgement of thanks is to the animal. Thanking God for the meal, (as in "Grace") entirely misses the real sacrifice and I consider it rather "ungracious".

Politicians in UK shy away from this subject, and indeed anything to do with immigration, surely if ordinary people have an opinion one way or the other then that is called freedom of speech. Pixi is entitled to her opinion, as am i. If i don't like the way animals are slaughtered, and where are the animal activists on this one i wonder, then that is my choice. Unless of course the ALF or whatever they call themselves these days are Vegans.

I wonder if a Muslim would eat kosher or a Jew halah meat ?

[beso]

Could meat be both kosher and halal?
