"Halal Chicken must be alive when they are slaughtered." - The Sun. LMFAO
If you actually read about how Halal slaughtering should be done, the animal being killed must not be seen by any other animal and the knife must be so sharp that the animal dies instantly with no pain. Any differently and it's not halal.
***** No, it happens in most countries but unlikely in the western or third world countries due to high demand, etc.
I can't believe how ignorant some people can be in the comment section, making such false claims about Halal meat. Halal meat is not barbaric as some brainless people try to claim, this stereotype has gone way too far. Always cherry picking the Muslims and lying about something they do in the news or news papers. And those that are easily brainwashed believe the lies. Before you people judge Islam based on Halal meat, you should do some research regarding the benefits of Halal meat. Why isn't anyone saying anything about Kosher? Kosher and Halal are similar, your own people kill animals the same way (I'm talking about non-Muslims), not every human being uses a captive bolt, and a captive bolt can cause an animal more pain if it misses. You can't kill an animal painlessly.
*****
LOL, that last bit was funny.
The RSPCA oppose Halal on cruelty grounds as do PETA - www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/farm/slaughter/religiousslaughter
But, thanks for the usual Muslim rant about what a victim you are and everyone is Islamophobic who disagrees with anything you wah! wah! wah!...yawn. Did you ever consider the fact that rational people might be informed about Halal, like the RSPCA and still disagree with it? That rational people might be informed about other aspects of Islam or any other religion and disagree with that religion. Your visceral abusive response even to those who disagree with this religious slaughter method is one of the things most people balk at about Islam. The extreme response to even the mildest criticism of any aspect or your religious practices as we see in your post. This is harming your religion, as people are used to being able to have rational discussion, but it is closed down by abuse, threats and name calling.
Robert J. Williamson
I am sorry, but I never said anything you mentioned. If you hate Halal meat, then hate it all you want. The world does not turn at your command or mine, let alone what RSPCA or PETA think. For once in your life do some research, rather than being told something, educate yourself please. Suppose we use a captive bolt on you, will you come back to life to tell us the experience? Or how much it hurt or not? Dying is not painless, and even your own people, those same people that use a captive bolt today, even they used to slaughter an animal by cutting the jugular vein. Go in the wild and look how the animals hunt for food, some even eat their prey alive, where is your captive bolt then? Go and show some mercy to those animals being eaten alive by bears and wolves, use a captive bolt on them, so that their pain is a little less.
As far as what you said about criticizing Islam, this is not the first time and the only topic people like you criticize Islam for, Islam has been a target for people like you, since 1400+ years ago, ever since the Qur'an was revealed, humans have always tried to attack Islam and criticized it. After all that you said, you come at me as if I sound like a barbaric maniac, yet you fail to realise that even Jews and Christians also slaughter like this. Not every human uses a captive bolt, and even if they did, what is your guarantee that it is painless?
***** You said that they were killing pigs and sheep, pigs are Haram in Islam, Haram means forbidden. The practise of Halal is not done while the animal's throat is already slit as you mentioned. First they feed the animal, give the animal a final drink, make sure there are no other animals to see it being slaughtered and then the guy slitting the throat, he says "Bismillah Allahu'Akbar" in the name of Allah, Allah the greatest, simple as that. And then he cuts the jugular vein and the wind pipe. I have seen it happen and it was not as you described it. Don't know if you are trying to shame Islam or defend it, but the pigs part is a lie, unless they are non-Muslim.
***** Likewise, and thanks I appreciate it.
Can't believe I missed this one. Too funny! Racist about how a chicken dies... Russell you crack me up mate!
هلا
I'm outraged by most of what passes for pizza.
Eric Nicolas LOLLL
so you won't mind it if your only choice is non-halal?
+Eric Nicolas Best comment I read on youtube this week!
Whinge all you like about Halal, but do not forget that Kosher meat (the only kind eaten by Jews) dies in exactly the same way. Let's have a level playing field here, for once!
Thank you, Russell for always getting me in a thinking state.
"Halal chicken must be alive when it is slaughtered" that is a stellar quote!
Halal means permissible.
I give you a very simple example that may help you to understand what does Halal really mean.
For example: one of you ask me to wash your car very clean inside and out for £10. I agree and promise to wash it properly. Later if I did so as I had promised then that means that your money £10 is Halal (pure) for me.
Halal meat means that the animal which was slaughtered, had been treated well, given enough grass and water, was staying in open place. And when the animal is slaughtered, the other animals shouldn't be around to see that one of them is being slaughtered. The knife shouldn't be sharpened in front of the animal.
While slaughtering the animal God's name should be taken.
The Shah I fear your explanation went unnoticed, these people are hellbent on twisting this video, the Sun, Brand, and Islam into something other than what it is, they aren't interested in the truth. I enjoyed your explanation very much though. Peace
I agree if you don't like how an animal has been killed, do the sensible/ethical thing and become a vegetarian. These people getting all mad about halal, how the hell do these people think they got meat up until now? Someone is still murdering an animal. Did they think the meat fairy just waved a little wand and suddenly all the shops in England would suddenly be stocked with steaks and stuff.....idiots.
not going to get into an argument but maybe some people just really enjoy meat and don't want to be a vegetarian. have you ever thought of that? i commend vegetarians and vegans because of what you and they do but i've got to admit i just really enjoy a nice steak or pork chop every now and again.
***** The point is the animal doesn't need to die just for you to eat. Fair enough if you can't see the logic behind vegetarianism and veganism but there is no animal on this earth that chooses to die. 'The way the british do it' is also a nonsensical phrase as I'm sure that there are british people who eat halal meat therefore 'the way the british do it' is no different to any society.
Jack Lomas I don't think she was saying everyone has to be vegetarian, she was saying IF you are bothered by the idea of the chicken being killed, just don't eat it ... because it's no worse whether it's done the halal way or the "regular" way.
***** both ways your gonna shit that meat out of your ass so what difference does it make if the animal knew he had a violent death or not
Why must there still be factions in society that get so angry when faced with little things like reality and logic.
Thank you Lee Hazel for being rational.
And yes, I am vegetarian, have been for years. I, personally, do not agree with an animal dying for my dinner, regardless of the method. No death is pleasant, especially now with all this factory farming. "Our way" I'm afraid to say is no better, the animals still suffer.
I actually know people that have never given a damn about animal welfare issues, jumping on this Halal hype bandwagon.
Pizza Express never attempted to cover up the fact that they use halal chicken, they've mentioned it in their literature for a couple of years. Why are people are getting so hung up about the method their meat gets executed in? It is more interesting that 'the spun' is intentionally pointing this out. Pointing out the differences rather than the sames.
Unfortunately the reality is, these specific animals wouldn't exist if it weren't for human demand. These animals are born to be eaten, that is their destiny - they wouldn't exist if there wasn't a demand.
make sure "chicken should be dead before killing it".... lmao
It proper tickled me 😂😂😂
+Sapien Solus meaning you can't just eat a dead chicken found somewhere when you don't know what its been through or how its been killed
MK beach That makes no sense. You're attributing meaning that simply isn't there.
FocusFanatic It makes no sense, it doesn't say that at all.
I love Russel's humbility. Sure we don't share the exact same views.. but we have more in common than differences.
It's HUMILITY.
What a great portmanteau word! Humility + Humble = Humbility.
Are the chickens even aware of whether someone is approaching them with a knife to slit their throat or a stun gun? Do you think they chirp to each other, "Phew! It's just the stun gun. At least she'll be asleep when she goes!" The more this is debated the more the racist thugs have the opportunity to spew out their vicious attacks. I, personally don't think about how the animals I eat were killed. The same as I don't think about the animals carcass on the butchers slab. You're eating a dead animal - as long as it wasn't tortured and it's had a reasonably happy life I'm sure whatever way slaughter comes its quicker than old age, and if you don't like that then become a vegetarian. In fact, become a vegan. The fact is the biggest problem is the way these animals are kept BEFORE THEY EVEN GET to the slaughter house!
Fuck halal
Boycot the cunts
Muslimah1987 guys you're playing right in to "their" hands. This is intended to divide, because a divided populous is easier to control. Once we transcend these trivial cultural differences only then can we take the power back. Separation is an illusion. Love each other.
Samuel Smith so, so true. We all have different opinions and beliefs - embrace it instead of giving haters more fuel for their fires x
" *kiss *kiss *kiss, whisper Shakespeare at it and gently cuddle it to death "... Hahaha Russell man you're hilarious. And now you speaking so much truth as well, that is double fun.
Appreciate the time your taking to do all of this Russel!
"...Well, consider the verdict of Joe Regenstein, professor of food science at Cornell University in the United States, who leads the university’s Kosher and Halal Food Initiative.
“Many of those attacking religious slaughter have no clue as to what is happening,” he tells me. “It is more of an Islamophobic issue, not an animal well-being issue.” Compared to modern, secular methods of slaughter, he says, “the traditional or Prophetic method might actually be equal or possibly superior” because the initial pain of the throat cut results “in the animal releasing large quantities of endorphins, putting it in a state of euphoria and numbness”. The cut thus serves as its own stun. The scientific evidence against halal slaughter, Regenstein says, “is extremely weak and has often been done poorly with an agenda driving a desired outcome”."
There's literally no difference between Halal meat and Non-Halal meat.
It really isn't a scandal.
Sorry but this is not true. The most civilized way to slaughter an animal with the least pain and least duration of pain, is by using a Stun gun. It paralyzes the animal and renders its central nervous system which makes pain impossible. The animal is passed out after a second or two of electric shock and it does not even know, that its dead.
Both Halal and Kosher contest that the least painful way to kill an animal is one blow, one kill and let it bleed. This is pure mockery of common sense. Of course, there is the prayer part that comes before the killing.
***** You can go guarentee all you want but the science wont back you up. We used the traditional method of cutting up the animal before stun guns, which is barbaric, just like halal is or kosher is. Thankfully we have the tools today to get things done better. If you dont know, if your central periphery is fried, you cannot feel anything. Its science. Please ask a biologist or a local doctor. A swift sharp cut across the throat is bat shit stupid because the animal still suffers the pain for a few minutes in agony while its blood drains and its brain shuts down.
Its all about brain shutting down. And yes, if you stun me with a stun gun and cut off anything from my body, i will die being unconscious. Its science. You could use some education yourself.
If there's no difference why do they do it?
***** you are a moron he its right its science, don't use someone's idiotic mistake as an example
Why does it matter which way you kill an animal ? Killing is killing wheter you think its humane or not. What you really need to consider is that do you really need a body of another living creature on your dinner plate every night?
It's funny to make a joke about "being alive when killed", but the actual point is being conscience when killed - there is a huge difference between being unconscious, with no pain, and being conscious, and suffering the pain.
Well, consider the verdict of Joe Regenstein, professor of food science at Cornell University in the United States, who leads the university’s Kosher and Halal Food Initiative.
“Many of those attacking religious slaughter have no clue as to what is happening,” he tells me. “It is more of an Islamophobic issue, not an animal well-being issue.” Compared to modern, secular methods of slaughter, he says, “the traditional or Prophetic method might actually be equal or possibly superior” because the initial pain of the throat cut results “in the animal releasing large quantities of endorphins, putting it in a state of euphoria and numbness”. The cut thus serves as its own stun. The scientific evidence against halal slaughter, Regenstein says, “is extremely weak and has often been done poorly with an agenda driving a desired outcome”.
90% of halal in the uk is stunned first! pizza express etc sell stunned halal. so the halal chicken is pain free.
Ahmed Mohamed I thought that the stunning part is not an issue as long as it does not kill the animal before it can be slaughtered according to Islamic law. Although it does increase the risk of that happening so many who make halal meat do not like the idea of stunning first.
TMWPwolf you're spot on. The cut acts as a natural stun anyway.
There is a dispensation given to some Halal and Kosher slaughter houses that allows them to kill animals that are fully conscious, rather than stunning them first.
Not all Halal or Kosher meat is produced in this way and it is unnecessary for it to be accepted as such.
To be angry about this isn't racist.
Completely agree with you. Killing animals in such a barbaric way is absolutely unnecessary.
Killing animals is unnecessary
hi9313
Well I'd disagree, it's the circle of life. Nature is cruel. But the question is why add any additional pain.
theCreator
The question of why add any additional pain is only the question if you accept killing animals as necessary, which I don't.
hi9313
What about tribes in Africa where plants seldom grow and hence the majority of their diet comes from hunting. Is it necessary then?
Ok, I think we should calm down and think about this all logically instead of doing what the Sun wants - which is to react with hatred and horror, possibly while spewing pizza across the room. ;) Here is the prime fact you need to know - the halal process is actually a lot kinder than the modern one for two reasons. The first is miss-stunning. According to the RSPCA and others, an absolutely huge number of animals are not stunned when they are killed and the problem is largely unreported. This is horribly cruel since the 'stun' is the only kind of pain relief given. In the case of chickens and turkeys the problem is so bad that many of them miss both the stunning AND the decapitation. Which means they can be processed for meat while still fully alive and concious.
The second thing is that in the halal process the stun and the kill are exactly the same thing. Unlike modern techniques, the halal process is almost painless since a very sharp knife cuts the vein leading to the brain, which means unconsciousness is almost instant and the animal basically 'falls asleep'. Unlike regular stunning, the throat slitting basically cannot miss. You don't get the problem where a cow, say, has to be hit over and over to make it go down (I could show you pictures and video, but, yeah...). Halal slaughter works very well, so well the animals barely make a sound during the whole process.
Now, before anyone responds, let me make it clear that I am both a vegetarian and a Christian, not a Muslim. I don't approve of slaughter in general. However, I disapprove of mainstream slaughter far more than I do halal slaughter purely because I have looked into both and found the latter far less abhorrent. I have no wish to debate or argue with anyone on this, I simply want to say that if anyone wants to look into this they will find that the mechanised modern slaughter machine is hardly a party full of love and cuddles! It is an often very brutal method of killing that involves a nightmare of pain and fear and the 'processing' part often happens while the animal is still alive. Modern mechanised slaughter is about maximising speed and profit, not reducing pain. Slaughterers simply run the animals through as fast as possible and botch the process. Halal slaughter isn't necessarily bad just because it is foreign or part of a religious practice, if you look at the history you will find that the reason it was actually introduced is as an ethical, clean, way of killing animals via a single cut by a trained professional. The religion part simply means that the Halal slaughter is going to be done with a surgical exactness, since the person doing it is going to go out of their way to make damn sure it is is done properly. Halal is not a bogeyman - certainly no more than the regular scandal-plagued slaughter industry. Battery farms and pig pens where the animal can't move an inch their whole life are just two examples.
Another perfect example of any criticism of Islam, unfairly being labeled racist. I think Russell is missing the point. I hate the Sun and it is bigoted views most of the time but the fact is, British vets, UK animal rights and welfare groups, all agree, that Halal slaughter is clearly a lot worse and causes animals much greater suffering than the standard methods. Surprisingly Russell, these animal rights groups are very liberal and left wing people who also despise the Sun. Also the debate is not about how bad Halal slaughter is, because experts all agree that it clearly IS cruel (even though you won't even admit this), It is about non-Muslims who justifiably do not agree with this bronze age method of slaughter, and object to having it creep into our western culture without anyone having a say. It is offensive to many non-Muslim Liberal Guardian reading people who care about animal welfare.
well goes to how how much you know. Halal for one is making sure there is no blood left in the meat. Second it isn't only about the slaughter which is up for debate. However halal is also the caring of the animal while it grows. In slaughter house animals are kept in tight cages, chickens all put together with no space. Cows and other animals mistreated and beaten. This is torture to animals and hence halal meat is there to get rid of the torture and make sure the animal has a healthy upbringing. So then you can say killing animals is wrong, then i would say only vegetarians have an argument
*****
Euro law has a bolt fired into the brain that kills instantly.
This is a fact
You are simply lying. End of story.
This is what Muslim apologists do to twist the truth.
Anyone can research the truth.
In UK we kill humanely using the most up to date method, and in Islam you use 1500 year old superstition to kill.
Fox hunting was band in the UK for a reason. Because it was a barbaric sport that put innocent animals through terrible pain and suffering. Granted they did not intend to eat the foxes afterwards but the general reason for it was to control their population , a necessary practice that occurs regardless.
Why would we ban fox hunting and yet allow this practice where animals have their throat cut and bleed to death while fully conscious. Yes the animals are going to die anyway, humans will always eat meat, but they should not have to suffer an agonising death for it.
I feel like people miss the point on this by a great margin. Just because it is practiced by a non-native religion of this country the debate becomes racial and people dont discuss the real issue. It shouldnt matter what race or religion you are, animals should not be put through suffering!
The sun article is laughably ignorant however brands points are irrelevant and miss the mark also.
A lot of people are talking about how an animal is stunned before it is killed so that it has a painless death. The way I understand it a cow is stunned by being smashed in the head with a hammer. Rather than worry about how the animal died, which all creatures must do, worry about how it lived. Watch a video on the life of a factory farmed chicken, how it starts life having it's beaked cut off with hot pincers before being shoved in a cage, in a warehouse jammed full of it's equally suffering fellows, to live out what little life they've been blessed with. It is ok to eat meat, but eat less, and eat meat that has been raised with a decent quality of life. Why would you need to eat chicken so badly that you would eat something that had spent it's brief existence in pain and terrified? And if that's how it lived, why would you be so concerned about wether it had a painless death!?!? Every cheap piece of chicken has come from a living creature that lived a horrendous life.
If I facepalmed every time someone confused Islam with a race (and thus furthering the Muslim Brotherhood's agenda, look it up), my face and palm would be bruised beyond recognition
The whole point of these videos is to encourage people to think for themselves, instead of taking what the newspapers and media state as being testament. Russell is encouraging people to think about what the stories are behind the articles
I agree the mainstream medias portrayal of the pizza express story does have racist undertones, but I would definitely argue that it doesnt make me racist for boycotting halal meat due to its cruel slaughter methods. It is simply not true that any way of killing an animal is just as bad as any other.
George Massey It's not torture. I've seen a goat die by that method. It dies very quick.
I miss the trews, I miss the trews intro, the trews, intro, dun,dun,dun,dun dunnnnn!!!!
I didn't know pizza express had halal chicken. They should label their shops. I shall eat a large chicken pizza there tomorrow with (hopefully) a complimentary glass of non alcoholic wine. I love living.
See you there!! Will be doing the same, lol.
I would check with individual restaurants to make sure the one you visit is actually halal - I can't imagine them using halal chicken in all areas, it would depend on the demographic of the area. They may use halal chicken due to availability/cost etc. in all but either way, I would check first.
How can people say Halal is ok. It's unnecessarily prolonging the death of an animal. There is no way to justify it or any other mistreatment of animals including batch chickens, force feeding, cosmetic testing etc.
Love you Russel,, but theres no rascism for not liking " religious " practices . Btw the slaughter practices of halal can be quite abusive by making the animal suffer much longer than it has to before it actually does finally die .
Like he said, if you're offended by how an animal was killed you need to be angry at people for killing animals and not be angry at the religion. And if it's so important how your food was killed then surely you should be a vegetarian because no animal wants to die.
For *you* it may be important that an animal doesn't suffer before you eat it but to the animal it only wants to live and have freedom. So you worry about animal abuse is not out of compassion for the animal, as maybe you would like to pretend it is, but it's a simply a selfish thing.
Basically, if you eat meat you cannot complain about how the animal is killed because you are taken away from the animal the only thing that it has, it's own life. Everything else in between is superficial.
Using it as a reason to hate on a religion is racist. But don't worry, there is not a single racist that would describe himself as a racist because there are always "valid reasons" for hate...
so you think it's worse than some non halal meat methods i.e gassing, electrocuting?
Ikram Choudhary Why debate something completely irrelevant?
Now you will distract away from the real situation. This person is discriminating against a religion by homing in on a point that means nothing to the animals.
To you and him it may mean something but lets not lose sight of who this is about, it's the animals that have to go through this and they pay with their life.
You may think it's better for an animal to die in a "humane way" but they only want to live!
There is nothing "humane" about killing a living creature unnecessarily.
So all this person is doing is discriminating against a religion because of something they do themselves but in a slightly different way.
They both kill a creature that wants to live. So why home in on the method when they are both as bad as each other. The method means absolutely nothing!
If killing the animal was really an important issue then you would be vegetarian, no question. But obviously it's not that important, so he is desperately finding terms in which to hate a religion... and *that* is racist.
W Bond going against a religion is not racist lol. i think islamophobia is a better term to be honest/
Ikram Choudhary racist is not just used to mean a race or color anymore... but you know what I mean so apply any terminology you feel appropriate.
You seem to have a knack of losing sight of the real issue at hand and home in on the stuff that really doesn't matter at all.
I'm not having a go at you by the way, I'm just trying to point out the real issues.
You may well be correct and islamophobia is a better word to use but again, it really doesn't matter.
objecting to the halal process is not racism mr brand, because islam is not a race but an idealogy.
+stu ach which is mostly adopted by people from a very specific part of the world, if it were a christian practice it wouldn't be vilified anywhere near as much.
+Alex Smith but it isnt, i can see the flaw in your argument.
+stu ach where is your outrage at baptism? circumcision etc?
+Alex Smith i am neither christian or muslim, i dont subscribe to any religion because it is all nonsense. i object to the halal process because it causes undue suffering to the animal, not because it is an islamic ritual, same as the kosher method, its barbaric, anyway, i disagree with it, i wouldnt say i was outraged at all
Probably my favourite trews video you've done so far. I am a vegan so completely agree that if people are so bothered about animals being killed without being stunned, maybe they should think about why it's right to kill animals in the first place. As a 20 year old, I would be a first time voter in the next election, however, I do particulary want to vote because I don't want to contribute to our flawed political system. However, I also don't like the problem as being branded as a young person who's not interested in 'making a difference' to how the country is run. Once again, great video, Russell.
Great comment. Glad I'm not the only one that thinks theres some 'humane' way to kill an animal.
Please please do your research on halal meat. Over 90% of it is stunned just like any other meat in the uk. Don't let the sun or the daily mail make you think otherwise by forgetting to mention this important fact.
If you don't have the time to do lots of research, please at least be aware that restaurants like pizza express explicitly state that their halal meat is stunned. Thank you in advance.
Hi there, I don't think you quite understood my comment. I understand that some meat is made by killing animal while they're stunned, and some aren't. However, I have a problem with an animal being killed in ANY way just for our satisfaction of eating something that tastes good. The animals who are bred for meat live and die in absolutely horrible conditions. What right does any human have to do that?
sophie sophster No right whatsoever. I am completely with you. I was simply explaining that stunning (at point of death) prevents pain to the animal and that halal is stunned. As for the treatment of animals throughout their lives, again, you are absolutely right. It is despicable. I refuse to buy non-free range products.. from eggs to meat. Islamic law forbids treating animals badly regardless. There is a famous story about prophet mohamad who saw a man swear at a donkey and he told him that he had committed a awful sin. Without getting too religious, my point is that animals have a heart and a brain and have many rights in islam. we must all campaign for their better treatment by law. Of course, I do then believe that using them for food after they have had a wonderful life is not wrong which is the only part we disagree on. just like plants who are living things that we kill for food, some animals provide human beings with nutrients etc. I think its more about a balance. The islamic rule is one meat dish a week. The issue is that muslims and everyone else over consume meat, creating high demand and companies abuse animals to meet this demand and then increase their profits. Finally, I absolutely admire your stance. Veganism or vegetarianism is an effective way for some. At least you are the minority speaking without hypocrisy and have a consistent position.
Halal meat and chicken is the best, and having a choice whether to buy halal or not should be free
Dont know why so Many Muslims have to come to uk.
@@Angeljames.308 Maybe because they are forced to come due to their countries getting invaded by UK.
@@habzmiah just an excuse you use,or has taliban forced you away from your country
@user-pj1tx8yk3q I have as much right as you in this country. So best you keep you blonde hair intact and stay silent.
@@habzmiah im half spainsh .You Muslims live in a country fullof whitepeople yet ustill live among us infidel
Cant believe so many are outraged on how the animal is killed. Surely the fact it is killed in the first place is shocking enough.
If you're complaining about halal meat but then you go and eat meat anyway then you don't have a leg to stand on. You're showing up your hypocrisy. Yes, Islam isn't a race, obviously, but it's the direct link between religion and race that ignorant bigots will too easily make that leads to discrimination.
Russell for World Controller
Ive been watching this since episode 1, and I think this was the best yet.
There are more important issues in the world than how dead your dead thing is. If you are so intensely bothered by this issue steer clear of places who serve halal meat. Don't be so petty and bigoted about it as though your wants and desires aren't already fully catered for at hundreds of other food chains. The world is a diverse place and this really shouldn't surprise you.
Please don't stop sharing your perspective Mr Brand. So refreshing!!!!
Sorry Russell, must disagree with you this time. In our countries (Australia/UK) it is practice to electrically stun the animals before the cut is made. In this way they are not subjected to having their throat cut. They are unconcious an unaware. I get the whole vegetarian argument, but if some people are going to choose to eat meat, then shouldn't those animals be treated as humanely as possible?
Further to that, why should we change our practices to appease a small percentage of the very newest Brits and Aussies?
Think you missed the mark on this one mate.
How about you do some fucking research to find out that halal in countries inside the EU ARE actually stunned. Either way the chicken still fucking dies, but I bet you didn't care about it up til now?
I'm fucking sick of people not doing any research before they get outraged about things.
FortissimoInYourFace you're the one sounding outraged precious. Majority of Halal processed animals are not stunned. That's the whole deal, they are against stunning. In fact in countries like Indonesia the practices in their abbatoirs are nothing short of horrific.

LORD HUMONGOUS
I apologise if I sounded flustered, reading all the needlessly racist comments going around on social media has really wound me up.
www.rspca.org.uk/ImageLocator/LocateAsset?asset=document&assetId=1232719611043&mode=prd
88% of halal slaughters involve stunning, which can't be said for the Shechita process (but attacking Jewish people isn't socially acceptable so The Sun would never dare to run a story on that).
Roland Little talking to me bud? Bit hard to tell, you didn't actually make a point. Care to elaborate. If you were talking to me, my Grandfather worked in an abbatoir for years and my aunty worked at a chicken farm. I've watched both sheep and pigs be slaughtered first hand. I have a very good idea of what goes on. Point is we should be moving toward the humane treatment of animals...not back to abusing them before you face them toward Mecca and slash their throats with a rusty knife. think i'm overexagerating? Watch that indonesian slaughter vid i linked to. Think that's acceptable mate?
If you were my a level teacher I would cry with happiness. You are amazing!
Halal meat *should* be labelled. It's just the considerate thing to do - for Muslims and for non-Muslims. Sikhs are forbidden from eating it, for example. I don't really see the problem anyone would have with it who isn't religiously required to abstain, but if they want to avoid it, then they should be given the opportunity. Similarly, I'd like to know that the meat I'm eating *is* halal. It goes both ways, doesn't it.
Sikhs are only allowed chatka meat. No one does that in the western world, they are usually stunned and stabbed in the neck in the non halal version.
Books on awareness that you might not have read...Oneness by Rasha and The Untethered Soul by Michael A Singer. Thank you Russell for helping to bring awareness, you are needed. Love and Blessings.
Of course everything has to be alive when it dies. 😂😂😂😂😂 lmao oh jesus I've never laughed so hard. It hurts.
Thank you, Russell, for being the only celebrity in the world to use their fame to genuinely call people on their shit.
I grew up on a farm in Oklahoma, my parental hillbillys would have me pic a pet every time we got chicks. Or calf , or bunnies , then later cook my pet , wainting untill after i ate to tell me ,,'''oh by the way , that was fluffy your rabbit '' .. and yet there surprised im not comfortable with eating meat ...
holy shit that is horrifying. did your parents want to traumatize you?? What the hell is wrong with people. Unfortunately I had a similar situation but my mum didnt turn them into dinner. she was just too stupid to realize the repercussions of her actions and pets died in regards to that. I left her as soon as it was legally viable to live with my dad.
Lol yes actually, my mothers a narcissist, but luckily it made me strive to be as compassionate and thoughtful as humanly possible, speaking of compassion , my tribe is building a self sustaining multicultural reservation to house hundreds of thousands , share this around if you would be so kind mothersfromthestars.blogspot.com/
Tah Leeah Sorry about your Mum being so ....cruel. It seems parents are always hurting their children out of their own issues/problems/illnesses, my Mom was like that too. She accidentally backed over my kitten, then yelled at me for crying as blood ran from it, she neglected/killed my bunny when I went out of town....that kind of thing. More the fact she wasn't sorry/didn't care than anything. That minka Alexander, his parents sound pathologically evil!
Brilliant. The best Trews for a while.
Apart from the humane method use to slaughter the animal, the most important thing to note is that, it is the undrained blood that contaminates the meat makes it non-halal (haram). What non-muslim butchers do is to directly kill before the blood is undrained by properly slaughter the animal in halal way e.g. completely chop of the head, strangled, beaten to death, electrified, shot,etc-as a result of which the connection between the brain and the heart is lost hence the heart stops pumping/beating almost instantaneously therefore there is no driving force to push the blood out of the body. As a result of this the blood stagnates in the veins and arteries and contaminates the meat. Scientifically it is proven that blood is one of the best culture mediums to grow bacteria. Consuming meat contaminated with blood makes humans more vulnerable to infections and diseases.
In halal way we do not chop off the head completely or kill it before it get slaughtered but instead we cut the main vein (jugular vein) in the neck first. This vein contains venous blood in high pressure and it directly connects to the atrium of the heart without any interference. This method of slaughtering preserves the connection between the brain and the heart which allows neural transmissions to be delivered. This keeps the heart pumping/beating until all the blood is drained off completely from every vein and artery in the body making the meat pure and thus halal.
Blood has no negative health effects if you cook the meat properly. Not only that, it's a source of Iron.
The last segment of this is how society will revolutionise. If we find the soul centre within ourselves, we will all love each other, and look out for each other as the unified consciousness that we are. As this is what it drives you to do from within. You appreciate all life so, so, much more. All negativities the mind has accumulated over the lifetime will rise to the surface to be released, and only peace and joy will remain. The journey starts from within.
Russell is great but 1) It's not racist to criticize the principles of an ideology (Islam), which is made up of followers from many, many races. 2) Most Australian people unknowingly pay an extra fee for the Islamic ritual - That means non-Islamic people pay for a service they don't require every time they unknowingly buy halal (If it happens in Australia it probably happens here). 3) Halal is barbaric, a disgusting way to kill animals. There is no 'English traditional way' it's called doing it in a humane manner!
TeamkillerHenry 12% of halal distributors probably translates to millions of barbaric animal deaths? 12% is significant. 12% matters!
TheMisanthropistPhilanthropist This practice is virtually the same as ours bar that 12%, I hope you're venting your frustration at every other distributor of meat otherwise you're being unfair.
TheMisanthropistPhilanthropist So how do you suppose businesses cater to Muslims? Do you feel they want to lose a whole market segment? If it was so bad no businesses would sell Halal meat because it would be bad for their image.
The facts are that most animals for slaughter are treated terribly.
TeamkillerHenry Your tone suggests you're just brushing off 'that 12%' like it's not much. Yeah, I would vent my frustration at every other distributor (Kosher etc. is just as unacceptable) but that's not what was being talked about in the video!
1) The problem is that criticising ideologies in Islam these days actually has come to fuel hatred and bigotry towards Muslims as newspapers like the Sun and the Daily Mail perpetuate everyday. Divide and rule tactics. The whole "Islam isn't a race so how can I be racist" thing is bull, Muslims have become racialised in recent years in the same way institutional racism effects other minorities. Bigot, prejudice, Islamophobic? Do you prefer these labels instead of racist? 2) You unknowingly pay fees for loads of things you don't require when you pay your taxes, so what exactly is your point? 3) Halal meat being barbaric is up to debate. Many studies have proven it to be way more sanitary, humane and less painful way for animals to live and die. Anyway, let's be real, people don't care about how their animals are killed otherwise you'd be questioning where all your meat comes from. Battery farming happens and is still legal in this country, where is the outrage? Do you care? This outrage at halal meat is simply another way to fuel the anti-Muslim sentiment rampant nowadays. Halal meat has been around Britain since Muslim people have lived here, why is it only recently up for debate?
We all need the same things materially too. A place to sleep and rest, pure water, organic no GMO food, Clean energy, and something to do.
He thinks Islam is a Race?? duhh
Music Video 3000 No, he thinks the Sun is being racist towards people who practice Islam....why am I explaining this to you? Grow a brain....you didn't know people were racist towards Muslims? If he or I use any bigger words you'll get lost for sure....people who practice Islam.....Muslims....get it?
How dare pizza express not tell the public their meat is halal, man I've been missing out all these years. This is an outrage #sayNotocreepingshiraqilaw
Advertisements before your videos, Russell? Really? Completely contradicts everything you attempt to represent in these videos.
I saw no advertisements and if there were, do you think TH-cam put them on or Russell? I believe its TH-cam
Adverts are so he gets paid, as nice as Russell is I'm sure he needs a wage.
***** He spends his free time doing this with daily uploads, why wouldn't you want to get paid, would you work for free? we don't know his financial situation so we can't judge.
Lori Acton TH-cam isn't allowed to advertise unless the up loader clicks the monetise button. Although ive just gone through a few of his videos and am not getting adverts now, Is it arrogant to think maybe my comment made him turn them off? Probably. But there were adverts when I commented yesterday.
It varies on video to video, sometimes you'll get an advert, other times you won't. I use ad blocker so I wouldn't know if he does or doesn't.
thank goodness u are here Russell u r here and have essentially put the public in a position that they know what's really going on, and we r falling for it, i agree this has to b shared and shared again i just wish more people knew about the trews, I'm telling everyone to watch you and they are all clicking on to the truth and agreeing with you, cheers for becoming famous and telling the truth! Thankyou so much
Young people aren't voting because they can't be arsed not because they've had a long think about it. I think the most damaging part of your suggestion that voting is pointless is that it legitimises apathy and fatalism meaning that in the end people accept the status quo.
lol try listening again
Roan Lill-Bovill I did listen to it all and I know he addresses apathy but actually he spent a lot of time telling people not to bother voting (elsewhere not in this video) because it's pointless and then the rest, the activism gets lost because people have just been given permission not to engage by someone who they admire. I think Russell may look back at this move and see that he's helped to disenfranchise a generation.
annared07 It's just not true, he blatantly advises to participate in politics, just not through voting. He gives no permission not to engage
Roan Lill-Bovill but it's so disingenuous because it's one thing for Russell Brand to say I refuse to participate in UK party politics because it's pointless, they're all the same - he has a voice and an audience, the average voter doesn't and let's be realistic the situation here in the UK isn't going to change. I'm all for activism but it's not an either or situation we should encourage all kinds of political engagement and in my opinion using your democratic right to vote is one of them.
so you disagree, basically, with what he's saying. doesn't mean he's encouraging apathy. i disagree partly as well, after all why not vote for a third party such as the greens when they are clearly quite different from the 3 main parties? as it relates to the main ones i agree with him but if you see eye to eye with a third party, then why not vote for them? but let's be clear, you were saying that russell was encouraging apathy. he was and is not, we might disagree with what he says but it doesn't mean he's encouraging apathy.
He is truly fascinating to listen to, I'm glad I found this channel :)
No its not racist at all! Its an animal rights & cultural issue. However i feel its unfair to take choice away from others. That to me is ostracizing ONE religeon and culture from the rest. Its giving ONE religion a say and no one else has a say or choice. That to me is being racist by seperating and taking away choice. Its like a buddhist turning up and saying "no meat" to subway. Or "no bread" if your on the atkins diet!
Please can you clarify how it is a culture issue?
As for the animals rights accusation, it is not your fault that you are simply mis informed. The sun and dailymail purposely forget to mention that over 90% of halal meat is stunned just like most other meat in the uk. Stunning prevents the animal from feeling pain. So the method of slaughter after being stunned is a non issue.
In fact, pizza express are explicit in stating that their halal chicked is stunned first. Just like subway and nandos and KFC and many more who all sell halal. Not because they are giving preference to Muslims though.
It is because non Muslims have standards. They want animal welfare as a priority. Muslims who eat 15% of meat in the uk will only eat halal. So, a clever business can please both audiences. Sell stunned halal!
Unless I am missing something, the media is trying to attack Muslims as if they have forced these business to sell animal cruelty products. The opposite is true. They couldn't care less about Muslims if they tried.Business choose to sell animal welfare halal products to increase PROFITS!
I thank you Russell for introducing me to Eckhart Tolle's works and ideas, his teachings are already having a positive effect on me.
Also, you asked for suggestions for Trews collaborations... Helmet Harry would be great, although I heard he's retired from public life.
Preferred Russell's intro!
Vote Yes in the Independence Referendum! (Only way to get rid of the hypocrisy of Westminster!)
Only way to let our country be dictated by clueless morons who have fallen to the propaganda of UKIP more like. I'd rather be governed by shit politicians than let our stupid country decide our fate.
Hahahaaha......no research mate.
That's even worse. This is exactly why all our politicians lie and have claimed they will give a referendum in the past, then gone back on their words. Cause they know that they can't trust their country.
Love you Russell!
How an animal is slaughtered is a moot point. The religious connotations around the process are not.
Being opposed to Halal is not racist, Brand. You just lost all remaining credibility with me.
I think the point was, if you have a problem with the death of an animal don't eat it. Theres no point in bring religion in to it really. Either way you're killing an animal
most halal in the UK 90% plus is slaughtered in the same way as other meat which is hardly cruelty free
Also, I'd say it's quite clear that the underlying directive of an article like that is not to inform concerned people about how their meat is killed but really just to incite and excite people's racism.
His point is actually that the rags (so called newspapers) are trying to get you angry and scared of Muslims.
So what is it? It is a phobia of some sort...
When you fear something for fictitious reasons like halal hurts animals. No it doesn't. 90% of halal meat is stunned just like non halal in the UK. The sun and daily mail know that but don't write it clearly in the article so that people think that halal means bogey man. It's no different to the animal then any other death because it's nerves are killed before it is killed.
Loving the Trews! Great to see that were getting some coverage in the media.
Your a great figurehead against the alienated politicians. Russell's the man, down to earth.. got his head on straight. Your stance against the war on drugs and immigration is bang on. My votes on Russell! PEACE x
I think what many people are offended by is what amounts to extortion. Almost all products pay a religous group to be cerified kosher. I have personally seen rabbis just show up and take the money never caring one bit about if its kosher. So when you buy a halal product or kosher you are being taxed to support religions. Why does coca cola have to make all coke kosher. Its a total racket. Same with halal. I hope people boycot halal meat. Islam considers those who do not believe and eat halal to be infidels. Why should I respect anybody that considers me less then, or considers themselves elevated with special consideration from god. Practice your religions of speration and exclusion but dont try to force me to pay your criminal rabbis and clerics through all kinds of products to promote your rackets and racist clubs. If halal is so important start your own halal places and just steal from muslims. I refuse to buy anything kosher or halal when at allpossible. Its a shame iused to enjoy a coke once in a while.
RandyJM21 lol
Awesome!
Also, could you write down a list of the books you've read in the Trews episodes? In past episodes I have paused the clip for the brief second I can see the cover of the book in order to learn more about the author and context.
Thanks.
Really want to try halal bacon, heard it is delicious.
Rich F Smh. Just a heads up, you made yourself look silly.
***** Really? I was not trying to point out the barbaric nature of halal slaughter with regards to an animal forbidden to be consumed in the Quran. My original statement contained an oxymoron. It appears some people just aren't aware of things beyond their own beliefs and want to push their own agenda.
lool. There is no such halal bacon. Halal means any object or an action which is permissible to use or engage in. So eating bacon is not halal according to islam law.
Holako92 this guy gets it!
LMFAO CANT STOP LAUGHING. watching this is awesome. Subbed man!
Racism doesn't come into this. Islam is not a race, it's a private belief that people should do in the privacy of their own homes. Islam is not what someone is, it's just one thing that they do. Muslims in Britain are British first and must follow the rules like everyone else, religion comes 2nd not first.
why did nazis use that argument about attacking and killing jews????...racism or discrimination are just as ugly as each other m8 ...what rules ???your made up rules..lol
And that was supposed to make sense? You obviously can't read.
EXACTLY ! If Islam is a Race then so is the catholic church or the local soccer team
Yeah Race we are Born with (all Equal) , religion we can choose to attach or detach from .
No different to a gang or a soccer team etc
Islam isn't a race but it is predominantly a religion that is followed by a majority of races You cannot deny that (well you can but it would be a futile exercise). Picture in your head (if at all possible) a Muslim. Now I assume he/she ain't looking caucasian. Now who's being PC. You are.How foolish.
I think you look quite dapper in your picture..and I totally support your efforts in speaking with parliment about the proper way to handle addiction… much love to you!
It's funny to see everyone arguing about meat.
Some of us care about animals.
***** Fair enough... Suddenly everyone is an expert, and people are arguing about things that are in the past.
***** oooh backward cult. forcing Feeding Geese for fois gras or whatever the civilised Christians and Atheists of France practice. No he is not a prick for saying backward cult, he is a prick for being in a forward cult called Atheism. Make up your own moral values, as when when it suits you. People with a religion of some kind, have consistent moral values. As for barbarism, your words and behaviour is is barbaric. Start there before abusing others. oh your atheist, you have no moral values.
Cameron Rahman Another person presuming non-Muslim practice must therefore be Christian (or atheist) practice. Christianity and atheism are irrelevant as they make no pronouncements about slaughter. Your argument is with Fois Gras Producers, but that would mean turning down an opportunity to air your religiously-informed prejudice against atheists.
Most people have consistent moral values regardless of faith. Without them, people would be entirely unpredictable. What we see instead are people living peacefully alongside one another in their millions, of all faiths and none, with a minority coming into conflict with the state. But hey, you ignore that and keep slinging your mud.
greedobob "Christianity and atheism are irrelevant as they make no pronouncements about slaughter."
Your absolutely right on that point.
"with a minority coming into conflict with the state."
Which minority is that? Hate preachers like The Sun maybe the modern day Messiah for Christian and Atheist Crusaders. Democracy is hypocrisy. If you can not handle others exercising democracy and its supposed values, don't practice it, "but hey, you ignore that and keep slinging your mud."
"Christianity and Atheism are irrelevant" Again your right.
Criticising the way some people slaughter animals is not racist. How you arrived at such a conclusion is beyond me.
Brand is an apologist for animal cruelty. What a disgusting person he is. He also needs to look up racism in the dictionary before destroying an important word.
Mark Hawkes You misunderstood, how is he apologizing for animal cruelty? He doesn't eat meat due to his belief a animal shouldn't die for him to have a snack. Perhaps you should watch it again, or perhaps it's simply over your head.
Another great message. The theme song is hilarious, but I can't sing this one. Lol.
Well why should we be forced to eat halal meat without knowing. Foods should be labelled with a halal stamp or you should be told in a restaurant. I am not a muslim and do not wish to follow your practices. So this somehow make me a racist?
So you'd rather not eat meat that has been slaughtered in the most humane way possible, all because of the label "halal" and that it's practiced by muslims; disregard the taste of the animal, the significantly lower amount of stress the animal faced while being killed, all because its labelled "islamic". Your media is corrupt and its corrupting how you and your children think. Don't wash yourself when you're dirty, and please don't whatever you do eat with your right hand, because frankly we do that as part of our religion, "must be islamic".
Most of the time it does say so. On the outside of restaurants it says so
Prince Cairo I'm not condemning Islam at all, you have the right to practice whatever you believe in. All im saying is ALL halal products should be labelled as i'm strong Atheist and don't want anything to do with ANY religion, not just Islam. You have rights within what you believe in, why shouldn't i?
Also how does the slitting of the throat and being left to bleed to death the most humane way of killing an animal? I'm curious how you came to that conclusion.
Mark Hall I respect your choice because we all have our beliefs.
The reason is for the meat not to have blood in it because most of it spilt out. Blood isn't clean and i heard that they put chemicals in non halal meat to make sure it doesn't harm you but i don't think i would be comfortable with that. The animal should also be calm when you have to kill it. It can't be panicking so you have to calm it down. Lay it on the ground. Control it's breathing. Cover its eyes and then just say a small verse. The way i have seen some animals get killed in farms that don't give halal meat is sometimes very brutal.
There is a video on TH-cam where they show you why we eat halal meat and they show how they calm the animal.
Mark Hall Ever wonder why the natural way for an animal to hunt its prey, is by biting the prey's throat? Stunning an animal causes the animal to undergo stress and release all sorts of hormones into the blood stream, and on top of that the animal does indeed undergo suffering. Slitting the throat is the natural way to slaughter an animal.
You certainly practise what you preach Russ. Having been really lucky enough to have met you twice you do 'connect' with people in a beautiful way.
I love The Trews, it makes me think and also reaffirms some things that I already think. How wonderful to be as insightful, brainy and articulate as you.
Keep up the good work. Cheers. Oh, and I love you.
To be honest Russell Brands a bit of knob in my opinion, scruffy z list celeb.
...then don't watch him. Simples.
I didn't, is he still ringing up old men telling them that he shagged their grand daughter ?
Um, I don't know. I'll ask him next time I see him shall I? ;-D
that headline wouldn't look out of place in nazi germany

really enjoy these trews videos, keep them coming :) xx
Terrible guy...
Love the fact Russel brand isn't afraid to go against the status quo. I posted a video on my channel called 'The Truth About Halal Meat', which was somewhat inspired by one of his previous videos, and I most sincerely recommend the Halal sceptics to give it a chance, as it makes some interesting and logical points.
Islam is not a race.
what else?
yeb

u beleive it or not
yeb

Kaleto Scott do not hear those who accuse Islam falsely then you would not feel this way about the only true religion.
Surah Al-Anaam,sign 116:
وَإِن تُطِعْ أَكْثَرَ مَن فِي الْأَرْضِ يُضِلُّوكَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَإِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ
And if you obey most of those in the earth, they will lead you astray from Allah's way; they follow but conjecture and they only lie.
Peace!
Non stunned Halal meat is a particularly brutal and traumatic way for an animal to meet it's end. I think the kosher method might be similar and don't the methods require a prayer over the animals?!
How's that achieved in modern mass farming methods? Are the animals rounded up into a mosque Of synagogue for a service before having their throats slit and being bled out.
These animals deserve respect throughout the farming process and should be treated as humanely as possibly at every stage.
The decision to eat Halal or Kosher meat should be an informed one. I find these methods of slaughter offensive as little consideration is given to the animal at the point of death.
As an atheist I'd also prefer it if magic spells and incantations to imaginary deities weren't made over my food.
Religion causes enough problems in the world without ruining my food too.
I think we need a "coalition" Government with Russell Brand and Jeremy Kyle. Yes, we should do this.
Racist?! how is this racist, just because people of other religions doesn't want to practise Islam doesn't mean it's racist
Also British Airways only serve Halal, and their staff have been told not to make it public. I was told this by a couple of flight attendants.
Joe Regenstein, professor of food science at Cornell University in the United States, who leads the university’s Kosher and Halal Food Initiative.
“Many of those attacking religious slaughter have no clue as to what is happening,” he tells me. “It is more of an Islamophobic issue, not an animal well-being issue.” Compared to modern, secular methods of slaughter, he says, “the traditional or Prophetic method might actually be equal or possibly superior” because the initial pain of the throat cut results “in the animal releasing large quantities of endorphins, putting it in a state of euphoria and numbness”. The cut thus serves as its own stun. The scientific evidence against halal slaughter, Regenstein says, “is extremely weak and has often been done poorly with an agenda driving a desired outcome”."
None of this is about stunning or pre-stunning, it is about method of death. The correct humane method is to stun an animal dead, not to pre-stun (which is partially stunning) so that it can then be killed by throat cutting. Throat cutting is the issue, it's also not about whether meat is blessed with some words from a Harry Potter fairytale book.
We want meat labelled as either stunned to death, or throat cut to death. When you ask companies like this what their policy is they all state 'all of our animals are pre-stunned' and that is a totally evasive answer. The question should be: 'regardless of pre-stunning, did the animal die by having its throat cut?' And if the answer is yes, then people have a right to refuse this meat on cruelty grounds. Meat must be banned where the animal died by throat cutting, and it is completely wrong for these companies to sneak this cruel caveman barbaric practice in that comes from a medieval fairytale book.
Let's all wise up and ban throat cutting, this is the 21stC and we owe animals at least a humane fear, blood free, pain free death.
Please don't try to push your version of 'correct' on people as though it's a fact. I respect your desire to know the manner of your foods demise, don't push your (in my opinion ridiculous)moral code on others.
WallieUp Yes,clearly.
myKind Alternately,we have differing viewpoints.
myKind Lucky for me in this case,your judgement is meaningless.
myKind That's o.k., you'll get by nonetheless.
That's the Rubber Bandits singing the theme tune at the end? Is it? I think it is!
I wish there were more people like you in America Russel. Keep up the good fight.
Easily the catchiest intro and outro song I've heard, loving the new branding 'excuse the pun' on these videos. What are the words that you sing at the end? Would love to know the lyrics. Keep up the Trews x
I used to teach A-Levels, Russel Brand is an awesome case study for press, censorship, press regulation, many other things. Basically been an A-Level (and a BTEC) for years
Personally, I feel like if I eat Halal meat I am adhering to a religious practice. And being someone who is against all forms of organised religions, I believe that it is my right to decline to eat meat that is halal certified. Not giving me this right is akin to me not being able to choose which religion I want follow, or even being forced to follow a certain religion.
If other people want to eat halal meat, I have no problem with that. But either way it should come down to personal choice.
Fish and chips is halal too. So is water and vegetables. Everything permissible for Muslim is halal.
Mind you pizza express has gained many customers now. Mass advertising
Its things like this that make me want to help build a government around what you say and believe. If you would ever run for prime minister I think you could actually win. Not because your famous or anything but because you know the struggle of the average person in our country.
this was my fave trews ever. PLEASE HAVE MORRISSEY AS A GUEST!!!!!
