I think you fail understand what LIBERALISM is...hence you come up with absurd argument. Liberalism means equal rights to all, even the animals. Why west speaks for women rights, and against execution and lashes in public is because it is nothing but modern day barbarism. The world has moved ahead...and any progressing culture should change with time, and the change should be for the betterment of the humanity and peace for all. Most of the modern world are either in the green or orange stages (in the image below)...unfortunately most of the Islamic world is living the blue stages for a long long time now.

Oh i understand what liberalism is all right. Its abt the western philosophical notion of the "individual" being guaranteed certain rights , which btw are left to arbitrary interpretation of gov ruled by a few elites. The belief that humans collectively can come to conclusions that can never be wrong and ordaining laws is left to human wit and intellect.
Humans who r by nature flawed and prone to their selfish desires and not share the same arbitary definitions of right & wrong. Its a complete european notion born out of their experience with the church.
It has nothing to do with Islam and muslims. Guaranteeing materialistic desires of humans is considered liberalism , no matter how morally questionable that may be . Since liberals reject religion, they don't believe in human conscience and they don't have any moral compass to lean back to.
The secular notion is born out of the assumption that all religions r man-made anyway and as such are equal , so they should be restricted to private lives and governing should be left to the collective flawed wit of few elites to be precise. Seculars believe their religion & way of life i.e secularism/liberalism is the only civilised way and all other way is wrong and u would be tolerated as long as u subscribe to their world view , otherwise u will have to be liberated......by force if necessary.
Again muslims don't believe in any such notion and regards such notion as blasphemous. We believe islam is the Only true religion and way of life , as it is ordained by God for mankind , and laws can only be derived based on the Quran & sunnah.
Islam is 180 degree to liberal secularism.Why should muslims abide by a system defined by some 17th century philosophers whose understanding were shaped by the socio-political environment of their time, not to mention their flawed assumption and biases. Accept it or not, these r very 2 different civilizations with 2 different mindsets.
The term progress/development r all relative. Is secularism really progress? Beastality, homosexuality, drugs and sex related crimes is progress? What abt their flawed economic system that has plagued the whole world. UK had to spend 50 Bn pounds/year on alcohol related harm. Widening inequality, blatant consumenrism is considered development. That's some progress. What u understand by progress is what the dominant global cultural narrative wants u to understand by progress.
Islam is the complete anti-thesis of everything liberal secularism stands for. liberal secularism just a man-made fallacy and like all other man-made system its going to die out with time.
Btw muslim lands r ruled by secular/liberal "muslims" with secular laws left behind by secular western colonizers. oil and water would never mix and trying to force down the falsehood of secularism down muslim throats would naturally result in chaos that would effect everyone. Asking muslims to be liberal/secular is like asking a christian/jew to be a hindu or an athiest to be a deist.
Now coming to the so called halaal culling of animals, if it is done on an anesthetized animal there is nothing wrong in it. But if it done on an alive animal and multiple animals done at once it is not humane form of culling as it imparts pain and stress.
How do u know its not humane? Your science doesn't agree and even if i agree
for the sake of argument that u have certain scientific findings in favor of your view , there r scientific findings opposing your views as well. How can u say non-halal slaughter by stunning is humane? Just bcs u feel like it and it makes rationale sense to some people doesn't make it humane. At the end of the day its just what u feel like conforms your preconceived notions of right & wrong. And what abt freedom of religion?
Btw islamic scholars don't allow stunning bcs it hurts the animal & there is a risk of the animal being dead before slaughter and as such that won't be halal.
Is there a text of the Qur’aan that forbids stunning animals before slaughtering them? - islamqa.info
