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.

RE: Denmark Bans Meatballs to Accommodate Muslims

So, where do those who want meatballs go to buy them?

Denmark is a huge producer of pork products.
This Halal thing is just a subsidy for Imams.

How about providing Halal to Muslims. . . at a 200% surcharge. Which may NOT be paid out of public funds. Otherwise, give ‘em the veggie special: THAT is halal. . .

“....Hvidovre Hospital near Copenhagen has been secretly serving only halal-slaughtered meat for the sake of its Muslim patients....”

.
Couldn’t they have secretly served a pork/beef mixed meat in spite of its Muslim patients?

WTF would have known the difference?

From what I’ve read about how Muslim men behave when away from home, the nurses might instead be required do dress like strippers and hand out cocaine.

Here is an example of foods that we pay to label Kosher, it is probably Halal as well, see the 'K' to the right, just above "net wt."?
Sometimes a 'U' is used, check your groceries and you will be amazed to see how many products are Halal and/or Kosher.

How stupid of Denmark, us, or any country to do!! By giving in they enable and promote further demands. Let muslims bring sack lunches if they aren’t smart enough to pick out what they can and cannot eat. Maybe they should become ‘vegans’ - if that’s allowed.....

Because people want to be "nice"....after the Nazis, nobody wanted to be in a position of being compared with them, for standing up for their culture and race.

MUSLIM POPULATION TIMELINE

  1. As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens.
  2. At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs.

  3. From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves along with threats for failure to comply. At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

  4. When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam.

  5. After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues.

  6. At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare.

  7. From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels.

  8. After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in Bangladesh — Muslim 83%, Egypt — Muslim 90%, Gaza — Muslim 98.7%, Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%, Iran — Muslim 98%, Iraq — Muslim 97%, Jordan — Muslim 92%

  9. 100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace. Here there’s supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in: Afghanistan — Muslim 100%, Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%, Somalia — Muslim 100%, Yemen ---Muslim 100%.

Muslims have their Halal, our Greenies have their organic. Fortunately I’m not a Muslim or a Greenie so they can send all the rest my way.

BACON BACON BACON!

Ever go to Soup Plantation, Tomatoes, or places like that?
Last week my 16 year old grandson brought me a tiny cup of baco bits to top my self-serve ice cream that already was topped with granola and caramel syrup.
It was okay - fun! - but I’m betting real freshly cooked bacon would have been better!

Yeah, I hear ya - Bacon Sundaes are so last year - -
Who cares - !

Had a M∅∅slime family come to my Thai Restaurant once. They asked if I had pork on the premises.
I said, "Of course and also shrimp, clams, oysters, & squid." They couldn't leave fast enough.
