So the rest of us couldn't get deli?

That it would drive up costs is probably an unintended consequence. Not.

I wonder if the guy is all for restricting Halal to only REGISTERED Muslims?

[LongWayHome]

If I’m a Jew in Europe I’m not registering up for any state-sponsored program.

I’m just saying....

Break out the gold stars from the 1930’s.

Wear a star to get your kosher goods.....

Riiiiiiight....

[lizma2]

Just when I thought our world couldn’t get more insane...

They prove me wrong.

[SpaceBar]

Yeah, put your jews in a database, that’s the ticket.

[Chode]

They could use tattoo for convenience ya know.

[fruser1]

Wouldn’t it be easier if they just wore some sort of visible symbol on their clothing?

[DesertRhino]

You know, if you are an Austrian Jew, and they want you to register....

Just sayin’

[PCPOET7]

so this is a plan to register all the Jews with a central state authority…..did not go over good 80 years ago for those who registered with the state.

[null and void]

The halal you say???

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Here are some registered Jews.

Why would it be necessary from an “animal welfare point of view”? My understanding is that kosher law requires more humane animal slaughter than most regulations. I try to buy kosher hot dogs even though I’m not Jewish because the quality is better than Oscar Meyer and Ballpark, and I’ve also ordered kosher meals on plane flights in coach - the special diets get served first, and the food tends to be better quality.

I am no expert on Kosher rules, but my understanding is that those rules forbid mistreatment of livestock. This proposal sounds, um, fishy.

The Wiener Zeitung Is reporting about meat? Hmm.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

A number of years back my great great grandparents decided that registering their children on the government rolls was a bad idea.

I do not question the wisdom of my ancestors.

Or as my husband puts it, if you can be picked out you are seen, if you can be seen you are hit, if you can be hit you are hurt and if you can be hurt you are dead.

Animal worshipers are a special kind of crazy.

[Bellflower]

So how is it they think killing animals other than slitting their throat quickly with an extremely sharp knife is more humane? It takes them a few seconds to die.
