Brief History of Halal

Brief History of Halal

For many non-Muslims Halal is something they do not understand and find it worrying or fear. I can assure you that you have nothing to fear from Halal

Halal is simply the ritualized slaughter of animals for consumption-pork is excluded as it is prohibited under Islam.

A prayer is said before the animal’s throat and umbilical cord is cut-the blood is drained and the meat cut up into portions to be sold or eaten.

As a non-Muslim you can eat Halal-the beef tastes like beef and the chicken tastes like chicken. It is perfectly safe-healthy and you will go onto to lead a normal life.

However, if after eating Halal meat you have the urge to pray five times a day. It is not the halal meat responsible-you have mental health issues and you need to go and see a psychologist

If you are a woman and after eating Halal you have the urge to cover your self and look like a walking black bin bag. Then you are either too ugly to be seen in public or too good looking and do not like unwanted attention

If you have the urge to blow up people or buildings-you have a very serious mental health problem and you need to hand yourself in to the nearest Police station and get yourself sectioned i.e. put in a lunatic Asylum or prison.

The Halal industry is now big business-there are many Halal certification boards-each with its own interpretation of what is Halal and make money from it. So, the Halal industry is a money-making racket just like Kosher in the US

So as non -Muslims please be free to eat Halal-it may be the best and cheapest option for you-and in these austerity times we all want value for money
