They then generalised from this particular into a wider anti semiticism.

It also states that it's kosher meat that isn't pre-stunned, but I don't see anyone attacking that.<br /><br />As a non-religious, non-meat eating person, I can clearly see that this is simply more anti-Muslim propoganda from The Mail. They've removed all sense of perspective. If there was a genuine concern for animal welfare, the reporters would have looked into the entire process of getting meat on plates, and not just the brief moments at the end of an animal's life.Press Not Sorryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07466754406279038357noreply@blogger.com
