"While the petition in question makes no reference to Halal or Kosher slaughter, it has been welcomed in right-wing echo chambers as an opportunity to marginalise and discriminate against the Muslim and Jewish communities." Ayoub Khan, the MP who called the grooming gangs "a false right-wing narrative ... done... to sow division," is now accusing those supporting the ban on non-stun slaughter of "veiled bigotry" and antisemitism. He points out that a ban would cause Muslims to import Halal-slaughtered meat to circumvent the ban. Good point, we should ban Halal imports too.show more

So basically Muslims can do whatever they want and if you have any questions and criticism you are a racist.

They can continue to ‘other’ us but here’s the rub: By doing so, they are othering themselves and when the pendulum swings, it will swing all the harder.

Halal and Kosher slaughter is inhumane.

Fully agree. Ban halal and ban imported halal.

A cruel, disgusting practice that should have no place in modern Britain.

Right wing echo chamber of animal sympathisers?

Muslims and Jews working together against the White majority, a tale as old as time.

The economic argument is shit. Would we have bullfighting if it brought in a bit of money, would we start eating cats and dogs if it made us a bit richer?

It has nothing to do with marginalisation of Muslims or Jews! It’s do with the cruelty inflicted on the animals during slaughter…nothing else. Stop trying to make the issue about the people. It’s about animal cruelty and that cannot be tolerated because of specific religions.

Always the same rhetoric. That's all they have. Shameful
