Will the Dutch allow hallal meat to be sold? IIRC, nearly all the meat there is Hallal nowadays, and isn't that like Kosher meat in the way the animal's throat is cut?
Besides which, IIRC, the Dutch were very, very fond of one particular kind of meat, an animal we saw all over that country and which seemed very highly prized. Much more than by Americans, all of which have been reading Leviticus and Deuteronomy on the sly, it seems.
Let's see the Dutch reconcile the Imams to THAT!
Officialy it's forbidden to cut open the throat of those sheep and let them bleed to death. Law requires an animal to have minimal sufering before death.
But it was tolerated (i.e. freedom of religion). But this turned out pretty bad. People living in flats complained about the blood dripping down from above because the sheep were killed on the balcony! So the Dutch authorities now only allow it in islamic slaughterhouses.
This also to comply with the regulations on meat consumption.
In Germany it is the same situation.
