Paul Jeeves at the Daily Express “Fury over Halal Christmas Dinner”:

Halal butchers kill animals in the halal way in accordance with Islamic law; a single cut to the throat.

The practice has been criticised as inhumane by The Farm Animal Welfare Council which has called for it to be banned.

And shouldn’t PETA in America be objecting to this practice, also? That is part of what is raising the ire of Brits regarding what took place a few days ago at the Oakwood School in Rotherham, South Yorkshire.

PARENTS expressed outrage last night over a school’s plans to serve pupils a Muslim Christmas dinner.

The headteacher announced that she intended to replace the children’s traditional turkey meal with halal chicken.

She explained that eating poultry which had been slaughtered in the Muslim way would create an “integrated Christmas”.

But furious parents accused the school of undermining the Christian faith.

They were backed by Labour MP Denis MacShane who demanded to know why the children were not being offered a choice.

I would venture to say they weren’t being offered a choice because Islamists believe the infidel should do as they do and live as dhimmis under Islamic law regardless as to what their western sensitivities are. They want to replace the western way of life and build a bridge back to the 7th century. And we’re seeing examples of this kind of thing in places where we’d least expect it.
