A cheap shot at Muslims
I AM outraged about this — if I’d known these places were secretly serving halal food I would NEVER have gone for the veggie option.
But seriously, I sadly think this issue is being used as just another stick to beat Muslims with.
Why would Wembley serve halal meat when the majority of those who go to matches are not Muslim? It’s not because the Muslims have taken over and are demanding that all meat served is halal.
It’s because it’s better quality and CHEAPER.
It’s not Sharia law, it’s business law.
I admit the method of killing sounds cruel but some people argue “stunning” the animal is too.
And no method of killing animals is going to be “animal friendly” is it?
But I do think that these venues should make it known if they are serving halal meat.
Those who object on cruelty grounds have the right to know what they are eating.

city of Bradford. Anila Baig had her first column published in the local newspaper at the age of 16. She then went on to study English at the university and trained as a teacher. Baig began working as a journalist in 1998, when she joined the
Telegraph & Argus newspaper as a trainee reporter, before moving to
Yorkshire Post as a columnist. In addition to writing news reports, she also started a weekly column and won the Press Gazette Regional Columnist of the Year award 2004. She joined
The Sun soon after, where she writes a weekly column and commententaries. She has also served as a TV previewer for the paper. She was also a finalist in the Asian Women of Achievement awards. Although not wearing a
Hijab in any of her previous employments, Baig was seen on
The Sun's
fFront Page donning the
Muslim headscarf; however, she ditched the cloth early in 2007 leading to speculation that she and The Sun treated this symbol of the
Islamicfaith as a mere publicity
gimmick. In 2006, she was signed up by
Virgin Books to write her memoirs.
