Halal is not the topic? Really? So you think that muslims cannot eat pork but they can eat non halal chicken? Talk about ignorance! There is no pork and no halal (haraam) as two separate things: there is halal and haraam. Pork is haraam, no matter how it has been slaughtered, chicken can be haram, cow can be haram and so on. If they break the rule for halal eating haraam food, then they can eat pork because pork is haraam. Halal is indeed part of the topic: if pork is banned to make it easier and less expensive to accomodate muslims pupils needs, then there MUST be a halal muenu. And there must be ONLY halal menu, because:
- If there is chicken menus, the chicken must be halal or the muslims couldn't eat it.
- If there is both halal and haraam chicken then the costs and complications of separate menus remains, so that would attract even more suspicious over the pork ban.
Now, once we agree that the meat must be halal, in those schools menus, that discriminates those who don't wanna eat meat of animals slaughtered and sacrificed to Allah. Now, please, tell me that it shouldn't be a problem for non muslims to eat haraam meat, so you can make a perfect fool of yourself.
