Next month the Dutch parliament is expected to approve a ban on halal and kosher methods of slaughtering animals for food.
Those who proposed the ban say it is simply an issue of animal welfare, but it received strong support from the right-wing Freedom Party.
Many see it as a violation of their religious freedom, and among the Jewish community it is a worrying echo of a similar ban brought in by Hitler.

When it comes to slaughtering humans the Dutch medical establishment has no particular standards.
Given that it is clear none of this is about "humane slaughter" but rather politics and religion.

Daniel refused the food that have been put as a sacrifice. Halal food is not simply the ‘pure’ clean issue (clear from pig, etc.). Islam requires some prayers before they slaughter the animals. So, at the end, it’s not much different from those served to Daniel.

It does appear they the two religions will have to import the religiously prepared food.

Well, except that the prayer is to a god other than the Judeo-Christian God...

Daniel's food wasn't consecrated to a moon god and pedophile prophet and it wasn't camel meat.

It is unfortunate that religious Jews will suffer because one mustn't actual target a law aimed at Muslims to include only Muslims.

::Sigh:: They banned Halal too? Looks like the "enlightenment" isn't dead yet . . . unfortunately.
I also just learned all I ever needed to know about the " right wing Freedom Party."

Ha ha ha. The gods of the Middle East that Daniel knew were way, WAY worse than anything little Mohammed came up with or was raised around.
