Halal pizza is awesome.
I always order it and figure they're putting the best stuff on it because they think I'm one of them.

Whilst those who proposed the ban are arguing it is in the interest of animal welfare I for one, think it is the Dutch sending a message loud and clear: Jews & Muslims are not welcome here.
"On 28 May 2010, New Zealand became the fourth country in the world to outlaw shechita, the slaughtering of animals according to Jewish law to produce kosher meat and poultry.
New Zealand’s ban on kosher slaughter isn’t the first – it follows a position first adopted during the 1920s in Iceland, Norway and Switzerland, and most infamously by Nazi Germany during the early 1930s.

For halal, the voltage was wound back, so the animals were stunned, but only unconcious,
then slaughtered by the trained muslims that were brought in from overseas.
I think this is just more antagonism from TPTB

Mate, a trained Muslim would refer to somebody who is authorised to conduct the slaughter within the rites and has been trained to carry out the ritual according to religious dictation.
"Halal" just means legal whereas "Haraam" is illegal. ie: Pork= Haraam.

Maybe they are just belatedly realizing that they have a culture of their own. and that a policy of endlessly bending over backwards to accomidate people from other cultures rather than asking newcomers to change themselves is ultimately destructive and useless? Just a thought.

Halal & Kosher Hit By Dutch Ban- BBC
With 944,000 estimated Muslims in Holland but only around 30,000 Jews left it affects roughly 1 Million people. The Dutch have seemed to be shifting ever away from the "liberal" culture they are renowned for and rapidly approaching what can only be described as "far-right" politics.

There has been quite a lot of tension and fear mongering through countries such as Holland, Sweden & Norway to name a few in regards to the growing Muslim population, with a number of violent incidents.

Will this be a precedent for other European countries to follow? It effectively allows these governments to deport Jews & Muslims without quite so much attention and ugly press and infact, Hitler implemented similar laws.
They're expecting this to pass as law next month, it will be interesting to see what comes of this.
