Don’t ask for halal meat

It seems that they do not know a lot about Islam. For this reason they do that.

Muslims too do not know a lot about their own religion.

Stonning is both for women & men who commit adultry. Men escape while poor females get caught.

As I know, female circumcision is not required. It might even be haram if it is unhealthy & harmful.

WHy blame America for the Muslims watching TV, no one I know makes Muslims watch American TV.

what is your view sfd24?
i felt the article was very naive and the acts discussed are specifically antireligion.
if a nation is welcoming migrants, then they need to learn flexibility too.
everyone complains of limitations in qatar, but it wont be long before everything is allowed here and qatar will become one secular islamic nation where everything is not necessarily encouraged or allowed but if its done then its tolerated.

I certainly support making stoning, female circumcision, honour killing a crime punishable by law...but

telling a muslim not to ask for halal meat is like telling a jew not to ask for kosher, telling a vegetarian not to ask for animal free /vegetarian products, telling a person who is gluten intolerant not to ask for gluten free produce/products, telling a buddhist not to ask for any meat but beef and similarly telling a hindu that nothing but beef products are available...

telling a muslim to not wear a headscarf is like telling a mormon lady not to cover her head, telling a jew not to wear the yarmulke, telling certain christian believers not to cover their heads, telling an indian lady she can't wear the saree, telling a pakistani lady she can't wear the shalwar kameez, or telling just about anyone not to wear a certain style of clothing...

why single out muslims?

very nicely put qatarina and sabiabella.

i didnt understand your post randr88?pardon my ignorance, but what is the deal with quebec?is it a very narow minded place?i know its a french province, is it right? their migration rules are also not the same as for the rest of canada.

That if in Qatar our friends not find Pork they are crying, although they have a lot of other options, but if Muslim can't find Halal meat no one is objecting and Muslims have no other option. Why dual policies with muslims???

These are just Quebeckers being Quebeckers. No English is allowed in the province either. Noone in Canada takes the French seriously I don't see why the rest of the world should.

Yes. Quebec is always whining about it's "unique culture." They've tired seperating from the rest of Canada and so forth just to avoid having to put English on road signs. I'm really not surprised that if something like this had to come from anywhere in the world, it can from French Canada. When they refused to allow English signage (in a predominately English Country) etc. That didn't make worldwide news, but the minute you do it to Muslims, watch out.

No it just means in todays political climate, any slight against muslims suddenly makes world wide news. It's slightly tiresome. People ban a lot of stupid Christian practices too, but it doesn't make world wide news.

maybe it makes worldwide news to irk the muslims and to get a negative reaction from them.could be serving the political agenda in some wicked way.
in todays climate it doesnt taken much to really get the muslims worked up, and with good reason most of the time.
its just sad that religions and communities are targetted for whatever reason.

"why blame America about Muslims watching television." I just stated the article was about Quebec, Canada. (granted it is in North America)

I think it sounds good. They are basically appealing to all those people in the world who are sick and tired of all this religious mumbo jumbo. If you don't like it don't go and live there.

i am sure the residents will be thrilled not to have to deal with all this religious nonesense

It is a free market applied to a small town in Canada. They are offering a niche product to potential residents.

The product is "enough of this hardcore religious stuff let's just live nicely here in our small town in Quebec".

If you don't like the product they are offering and think it important that you eat this meat or that meat or your hair is covered up or you don't turn the lights on on a saturday then don't move there.

Asking for halal meat is no way similar to an allergic person asking for gluten free or nut free product. An allergic person could get very sick or even die if they consume certain things? Neither it is same as a vegeterian asking for animal part free product. A vegeterian will not eat a cow\lamb\pig regardless of the way it was raised and killed. So, it is a religeous and cultural issue. So if you know this place will not have halal meat and you must have some, don't go there. How is it any different than Qatar and other Muslim countries (exception Dubai, Bahrain)not allowing pork in the open market? Pork loving people already know there will be no pork here and if that is totally unacceptable to them, then they don't come here.

And businessman, Quebec is a very very Catholic province, believe me you will still have to deal with religion.
