We are a western democartic society and I am afraid if such a small minority have such a major impact we may see some radical changes in our country that many of us won't like or need.
Many people are boycotting certain companies due to them supporting and showing the Halal approved logo on their products and replacing them with similar products without the Halal approved logo.
What is your opinion on this?

Hi carolinedolan, apparently it does make a difference to the "non Halal people" such as many Christians, their concerns are to do with how the meats are ritually slaughtered. In this process (which can only be carried out by a Muslim), the Muslim prays to Allah while facing Mecca. Arguments can be made about how humane the process is, and groups like the RSPCA claim it is less humane than traditional slaughter methods, although I have heard otherwise, how can we be sure?
