They could have served halal and koshar dishes separately. What is the problem?

Bl[i]tZ;2452684 said:Some parliamentarians have eaten meat at Westminster having been assured it was halal
The Palace of Westminster has rejected demands to serve halal meat in its restaurants.
Muslim MPs and peers have been told they cannot have meat slaughtered in line with Islamic tradition because the method – slitting an animal’s throat without first stunning it – is offensive to many of their non-Muslim colleagues.
The stance has infuriated some parliamentarians who have eaten meat in the Palace’s 23 restaurants and cafes, having been assured that it was halal.
Lord Ahmed of Rotherham said: ‘I did feel misled. I think a halal option should be made available.’
In 2010, the Mail on Sunday revealed schools, hospitals and restaurants were serving halal meat to unwitting customers.
Waitrose, Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Somerfield and the Co-op all said they stocked meat slaughtered according to Islamic tradition without letting customers know.
Fast-food chains including Domino’s Pizza, Pizza Hut, KFC, *Nando’s and Subway are also using halal meat without *telling customers, it was revealed.

Members of the Church of England have complained that the spread of halal meat was 'effectively spreading Sharia law' across Britain.

However, a spokesman for the House of Lords and the House of Commons confirmed that it was not served in their restaurants.
Alison Ruoff, a member of the Church of England, said: ‘It’s a bit hypocritical that the Houses of Parliament, which have allowed other people to provide halal food, have ruled it out on their own premises.’
When the meat is slaughtered, Islamic verse is uttered before the animal has its throat slashed.
At Halal slaughterhouses thousands of birds are killed every hour.

What do you mean blood carries all the diseases. They are cleaned anyway, in non-halal method. And in some cultures they are used as food.The reason We are to cut the animal like that and let it bleed is cause blood carries all the diseases in the animals and this process make sure all the blood is out of the animal and it prevents the People from eating it.So this is not a humane or non humane issue this is for people health.

What crap! No wonder most Muslim and Asian countries are so medically backward.
we may be "medically backward" if that is a terminology..What crap! No wonder most muslim and asian countries are so medically backward.
if you have a problem with what i am saying please feel free to prove me wrong but calling my religious practice crap just shows you are simply ignorant and clueless.
Won't any disease be killed off when the meat is cooked?
Your defence of it religious practice is valid, I dont think anybody will deny that. Your claim of blood carrying disease hence needs to be drained in halal method is not scintific though.
I think either halal should be completely banned(if govt has sound basis for that, like the dutch have done) or allow it everywhere.
What is special about parliament.
Not every body cooks there meat completely as some people like it raw(flip the steak twice on bbQ count Mississipi 5 times and serve) or medium.
Draining the blood will not get rid of salmonella.Not every body cooks there meat completely as some people like it raw(flip the steak twice on bbQ count Mississipi 5 times and serve) or medium.
