Who are you to say it is not offensive? Offence is taken by the individual, not your say so! A person blessing something he she is killing can be just as offensive as calling a religion backwards!

No it doesn't offend me, I should have said it was hypothetical, but as people get offended when someone calls their religion backward, then surely people have the right to be offended if their meat is blessed and they are say, a atheist? And in turn surely the meat should be labelled as halal, as to give such atheist the chance not to buy such meat?

Not really, as you choose to partake in Christmas, Easter etc etc, any foodstuffs geared to it is clearly labelled, so you know what you are buying. When you are buying meat and it isn't labelled, then the choice has gone.

I think it is going to be very hard to prove animals are humanely killed in any abattoir., you would need monitors in every abattoir all the time to guarantee that. I don't particularly want to offend any abattoir workers now, but, I think imo, there has to be something slightly worrying that anyone would be happy to spend their time killing animals. I know i couldn't, although I am a massive hypocite as I will happily eat them! Something not quite right when you can happily kill a animal and do it every day.

Some is, just like some meat is stunned in normal abattoirs, many abattoirs regularly mistreat animals. What if Religion offends me and I do not want to eat Blessed meat? Serious question.

no more insulting than getting killed for leaving it though eh? Heaven forbid become a Christian! In the circumstances I think Backwards is quite generous!

The key here is choice, if there really was choice, there would be two preparation areas. Likewise at supermarkets, there should be Halal Counters and standard meat counters. What we have here is a lot of meat products not being marked as Halal (why hide the fact? because many many would probably not buy the product if they knew!), the reason in all likelihood, because it is too expensive to install separate service and product areas, so many people get what they are given, and there is no choice. It is so much easier to get Halal meat, then sell a section as Halal meat, knowing full well you don't have to worry about cross contamination as it is all Halal meat. Choice it is not!

I agree with you. Many people dislike it because of it's Muslim background rather than what happens to the animal. Having witnessed a halal slaughter in Egypt. No stun involved.. That was my mind made up.

No I didn't. But. Then I don't use domino's. Do they publicise it Widely? As i have never seen one of their adverts saying now with only halal chicken. That said I have just googled this and it seems if people are buying domino's pizza because it is halal, are in for a shock as it seems young kids they employ regularly cross contaminate the meat as they don't wash their hands. So a few pizza lovers maybe going to hell and they don't even realise it! Personally i don't think halal should be forced upon you, there must be choice or you end up pandering to a minority. Time business used both types of meat. I would not eat halal meat if I knew it was halal. I don't like the way the animal dies. I am fully aware that many slaughterhouses badly abuse our meat products. But many don't. I can only hope I am getting meat from one that stuns properly. What I won't do is choose meat which I know has been slaughtered in such a way. So as much as it may seem hypocritical' it is a choice I make.

I think so, had loads of athletes doing it. Reckon I should go in and ask for a BLT my way

It was also Subways years ago, probably before it arrived in the UK, but it is a well known slogan that has stuck with the brand. Edit and here is a slogan they were running in the UK not that long ago, not your but my, all the same thing really, which they have now gone and undermined http://www.thedrum.com/news/2013/05/01/subway-introduces-my-sub-my-way-strapline-part-new-2m-advertising-campaign

You are quite correct, it was their old slogan, but I guess slogans stick, so best stick to what the advertising man is selling you

I'm not sure you would go to a curry house to buy a pork chop. Likewise if you go to most curry houses you know your choices are going to be veggie, lamb, chicken fish, or meat!!! If you go to a sandwich shop, I would expect to be able to buy novelty and experimental fillings as well as tried and trusted fillings, which do contain pork,bacon etc. And in a shop who's Slogan is "Your Way" I would have thought this would be crucial Now if the Sandwich shop was per se a Muslim sandwich shop selling food that is appropriate for a Muslim,then fair enough. But a national chain?! No I think they have got this so wrong. if you cannot handle products from pig, or non halal meat (which is one suggestion I have seen posted elsewhere) then maybe you shouldn't be applying for a job in a chain that sells these products!

Indeed. And I believe he is now misquoting you by putting the word mumble in a lot! Odd line of attack

Looked a good player in the past. My worry if he is here just a month he will take a few games getting match fit. Always a risk no matter how good a player is. Good luck Byron hope you hit the ground running.

oooh oooh ooh can I copy the startig line up as well?

dunno, but guarantee we wouldn't with Cotts

No, that is the next one, or the one after that dependent on the previous result! Don't you know nufink

He is a bluster merchant. Just like his boss! Match made in hell.

Funny the amount of losers that keep stating they are winners, you don't often hear winners stating they are winners,they don't need to, because they are, losers need to make you think they are winners. Just standard BS soundbites from a okay manager

Thanks for this, judging by some posts he may have broken his leg in 3 places, his neck and maybe even broken the record for most injuries in on incident! Anyway hope the bloke is okay, not had much luck in recent years.

Seems a strange signing to me. Not really a winger anymore, not really a central midfielder. Not entirely sure what he is supposed to give us. On commentary they said Marv was sat on the bench after being stretchered off, is this right? Hope so, because the way they were describing it it sounded like a serious injury, then all of a sudden he is sat on the bench applying ice! So fingers crossed

Well seemed JET started putting good ones in when Reid was dropped, then he was himself dropped!

What was Wade Elliott like, never heard him mentioned in commentary!
