“Well Garry the jugular vein is slit thereby ensuring the quickest death and most humane. This is not fanciful stuff; this is the stuff of science ie if a major vein like the jugular is cut death is pretty much instantaneous..why the furore?”

“whee you know its less painful do you? could you do an experiment for this "stupid briton" as you call us, and slit your own throat and let me know what the pain level is? i imagine your not american just a freeloader living there enjoying your freedom while whinging about your civil right's, which incidently allowed you to pass comment without fear of reprisal or being beheaded, (or your throat slit)”

“glückwunsch!!”

“Wow talk about stupid britons...
The way of slaughtering halal meat is way more painless than the modern techniques used by modern means...”

“"As a Christian Foundation, we celebrate the diversity of all the cultural and religious groups attending our schools."

Whatever happened to :

"Thou shalt have no other gods before me..." ?

The "christian" part of the name sounds like false advertising to me to start with, whatever meat is served !”

“Hats off to those folk who had the stones to make this call and have this elitism stopped. The Muslims must pack their lunch if their religious law requires them to eat sacrificial meats. If they cannot share the air with anyone feeding in normaly slaghtered food, then they must take the initiative to segregate themselves, it is not the other children who should be forced to conform!
As a Christian eating burnt offerings is forbidden for me and my son, and I imagine it would be highly offensive to any secular or non-religious person as well.
PS folks - Islam is an Ideology, NOT a race!”

“There is an aspect to serving halal meat which has not been dealt with in either the newspaper report or readers' comments. Serving halal meat, and thereby complying with Moslem dietary rules, is also a means by which an entire society (the English) are being islamicised; Moslem laws require that anyone butchering animals under halal practices must recite Moslem prayers while doing it. The butchers can be non-Moslem but they are actually, therefore, being required to acknowledge the imagined supremacy of Islamic belief and worship of 'allah' and veneration of Islam's warlord founder, Mohamed. Also, the more schools, offices, restaurants that continue to comply with halal food demands, the greater the likelihood of non-Moslem butchers and related industries being forced out of areas and these areas becoming more islamicised --- essentially, Moslem enclaves. This is what is called 'stealth jihad': it refers to the cultural, political, social, legal and economic means by which, almost undetected and often unopposed, Islam becomes the dominant feature of an area, a town, a city and a nation.”

“When it comes to halal meat - parents should be informed - as unlike other meat halal has no formal regulation. The EU wants to put something in place - but some Muslims object.

What this means is that virtually any meat - can be passed off as halal - as was the case of chicken which had been soaked in bleach then sold as halal - because it was bloodless - some of this meat reportedly makes it into school dinners (undercover video showed).

Every local authority is tiptoeing round to make sure Muslims are not offended - but when dietary changes are made - parents should have been informed - because it looks like they've surely offended some Christians and secular folks!”

“Europeans showing some backbone. Now thats something you don't see every day.”

“to right it should be taken off if they dont like english food then dont f...ing eat at all”
