ah, i see my error now. i thought you were trying to attempt some objective reasons why one shouldnt eat halal food, most of which people have spotted are flawed reasons. what you meant was simple prejudice against halal 'cause its islamic. the fact that halal has to be certified at cost isnt...
i'd try a kosher deli. only certified ones of course.
if its the method of killing that bothers you, give up because you just dont know how the slaughter was implemented. as we've seen in the above discussion, there is no cruelty inherent in Halal, just local abattoir practices differ from...

lol, its not analogies, it directly comparable examples of the same practice, requiring one to pay a fee, be inspected and meet certain standards for a certificate. BS or IEE on your electrical items, farm tractor on your food, its just the same. the only difference is one is based on daft...
as someone who has eaten a few kebabs and currys, only answer to this is yes.
btw, i believe point 4 is wrong and there is nothing in christianty prohibiting any food. maybe old testesment, but that doesnt really count. and i wonder if you apply point 6 to buy British campaign, or gluten free...
