Confusion on internal inconsistency
editTwo quotes directly from the article:
Halal meat is "stun-free", so it violates RSPCA standards on animal welfare and is against the law in the EU,
... and...
The animal may be stunned prior to having its throat cut. [...] Supermarkets selling halal products also report that all animals are stunned before they are slaughtered. Tesco, for example, says "the only difference between the halal meat it sells and other meat is that it was blessed as it was killed."
As someone who is neither in knowledge of the Islam faith nor the UK laws, I find this extremely confusing, and uncertain as to whether one or the other has been misquoted or explained poorly. Is it possible to add a line somewhere to clarify the (appearing) discrepancy, or otherwise correct the misinformation (if that is what it is)? Kurasu (talk) 10:50, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
Yorkshire Video
editI propose edits that explain the Yorkshire video from December 2014 and how Halal was violated. --Sdenkmann (talk) 23:26, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
- As I wrote in my edit summary, there was a problem with how your addition was phrased; see WP:EDITORIALIZING for more detail. Also, the cited source doesn't seem to establish this episode as sufficiently relevant to the subject of the article and prominent in that context. A couple of Muslims who claimed to run a halal butchery were caught violating halal rules. Why should this be covered in an encyclopedic article about halal?

Meat slaughtered or prepared by People of the Book
editThis section needs help. As I read it today, it seems to mix Islamic and Jewish slaughtering practices in the same paragraph, leaving me unsure who does what. Also, the Ethiopian Orthodox slit an animal's jugular saying "In the name of the Father (and Son and Holy Ghost)." Is something similar found in other Orthodox communities? Or is this something that developed in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church to distinguish themselves from Muslims? Pete unseth (talk) 14:21, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
Article needs to be split
editThe term "halal" is concept in Islamic law meaning permissible. It is also popularly used to describe food deemed permissible by Islam. These are two different concepts and I think this article needs to be split.VR talk 02:21, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- Actually Islamic dietary laws already exists, so most of the content from this article should be moved there.VR talk 02:23, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
