Halal meat being blessed somehow interrupts your method of praying to (the same) god? Do you refuse to eat kosher, as well? Who could possibly care about somebody saying words in a language they don't understand while their lunch is being killed?
No, I don't agree with their slaughter methods nor their blessing and prayer to Allah.

Why are you trying to force this issue ? I don't agree with it and avoid buying that type of meat. Where's the tolerance you libs preach about ?

Why do people care about prayer in schools ? After all.."it's just some words".

Libs like to 'talk the talk' and never 'walk the walk'....unless it benefits them. Their so called tolerance only applies when they choose - never the across the board tolerance they expect of others.

I would avoid buying that type of meat, also. And will probably shop at stores not supporting this from now on.

Actually I am not sure that he wasn't one of the people who tried to convince me that we don't really have a lot of Muslims in this country. I really believe that most businesses are in business to make money and when there are enough people of any kind in their area they will try to sell to them.

I am saying that there are enough Muslims in our country for our government to start worrying about them being too large an ethnicity. I have said over and over that they will take over here when there are enough of them here but many of the liberal line of thinking just can't see that at all. I am pretty sure that we could get along without them, but who ships them out?
Native Americans felt the same way about Christians, I'm sure.

As for "who ships them out," since you suggested it, why don't you get a group together and attempt it?
Damn, I forgot that only race determines ethnicity. I am so sorry about that. I get to see illegal aliens from three Mexican states practice their own kind of ethnic living all the time and they are all mixtures of races as we all know live in Middle America although they are all Mexican. I guess their spicy cooking makes them ethnic, or what does? It is easy to tell which state they are from when you see their lowered cars, their raised cars and things like that.

Muslims don't come from the same country and, in fact, although they practice the same reiigion doesn't make them ethnically the same. Is that what you wanted me to know.

Very possibly but since they had only tribal governments and so many different tribes I just can't think of them as even thinking about shipping them out. Can you?

You just stated the very reason I think they need to be shipped out. If they can't become Americans then get rid of them. At least the whites accepted many things from the American Indian ways of life, like food, clothing, and using their names for our communities, rivers, etc.

I hope you see me saying that it is time for us to demand that all our immigrants learn our language, accept our legal system, at least try our food to see if it makes them sick, and so on.

Some pretty good imports there if you ask me. We have a Chinese section, Jewish section and Mexican section..that's my description..the store just has "ethnic foods" as the label.
What about a supermarket where the cashier won't scan and bag your bacon because they are Muslim and can't touch those products? It happened last year: Minneapolis: Some Muslim workers at Target refuse to handle pork - Jihad Watch

Catering to Muslims is an incremental step that won't end until non-Muslims have second class status because that is mandated in Islam. Muslims submit to Allah, all others submit to Muslims.

I'm think what it means to "become American" when there is no ONE way to be American. We are not all the same in any way.

It is "just some words", which is why anyone can pray in school if they want. Just like meat being prayed over before it reaches your plate, nobody in school is making YOU listen to their words or say any prayers along with them. That would be illegal.
Really, if you want to debate you can't lie to make a point. It make you look silly.
