SAKAI, Ibaraki -- Halal lunches, which Muslim students can enjoy, have been offered for the first time at elementary and junior high schools in two towns in Ibaraki Prefecture.

It’s all downhill from there.

[Kudsman]

Is fish halal?

[Restless]

So sad. I thought Japan would be a country that would resist the Muslim invasion.

[sushiman]

Any fish without scales are forbidden . Shrimp , mentioned in the article , is halal .

Those days are over - now ANY COUNTRY that wants our protection has to play by OUR RULES, at least until they start having other options regarding protection, which I expect to see soon.

What about whale?

[Responsibility2nd]

Me too. Japan had a closed society for 300 years. And they still have severe restrictions on outsiders.

[Kudsman]

They won’t catfish? Omg the south will rise again,!

[EinNYC]

What about whale?

Whales are mammals.

[Jane Long]

Sad.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

And they thought Godzilla was the worst invasion they’d face.

[BenLurkin]

Dear Japan,

Do yourself a favor and oblige your immigrants to assimilate into Japanese culture.

[HYPOCRACY]

So are pigs. They’re not halal.

[Bikkuri]

Well, not sure I’ll be going back now..

[Secret Agent Man]

Nothing good will come from this, unless they try it and then, decide to end it.

[DesertRhino]

I didn’t think they let moslems and Korans into Japan.

[sushiman]

There are roughly 250,000 Muslims in Japan .

[Retrofitted]

Depends on the flavor of Islam. Some schools say all seafood is halal; others follow the sans-scale route. https://www.halaltimes.com/is-all-seafood-halal/

[DesertRhino]

That’s horrible.
