Denmark Bans Meatballs to Accommodate Muslims
Gatestone Institute ^ | August 16, 2013 | Soeren Kern

Posted on 08/17/2013 12:34:46 PM PDT by george76

"The next thing could be that Danish nurses are forced to go under cover as Muslim women in order to please Muslim patients." — Martin Henriksen, Spokesman, Danish People's Party [DF]

One of the largest hospitals in Denmark has admitted to serving only halal beef -- meat that is slaughtered in accordance with strict Islamic guidelines -- to all of its patients regardless of whether or not they are Muslim.

The revelation that Danes are being forced to eat Islamically slaughtered meat at public institutions has triggered a spirited nationwide debate about how far Denmark should go to accommodate the estimated 250,000 Muslim immigrants now living in the country.

The halal food row erupted in July when the Danish tabloid Ekstra Bladet reported that Hvidovre Hospital near Copenhagen has been secretly serving only halal-slaughtered meat for the sake of its Muslim patients, for the past ten years. The hospital serves more than 40,000 patients annually, many (if not most) of whom presumably are non-Muslim.

Halal -- which in Arabic means lawful or legal -- is a term designating any object or action that is permissible according to Islamic Sharia law. In the context of food, halal meat is derived from animals slaughtered by hand according to methods stipulated in Islamic religious texts.

One such halal method, called dhabihah, consists of making a swift, deep incision with a sharp knife on the neck that cuts the jugular vein, leaving the animal to bleed to death. Much of the controversy involving halal stems from the fact that Sharia law bans the practice of stunning the animals before they are slaughtered. Pre-slaughter stunning renders the animals unconscious and is said to lessen their pain.

How about giving non-Halal meat to non-Muslims?

Is that so hard?

Where are PETA, the Animal Liberation Front, et al? One would think that in liberal northern Europe, they would have scads of supporters.

You know, I get the sense that “ethnic cleansing” may be coming to Western Europe in the not too distant future.

I saw a white mom with her two kids, around 9 or 10 years old, in the supermarket yesterday. They talked like they were from the deep South. Including the woman. But she was dressed as a muslim.
