Halal is more than just how an animal is treated/slaughtered. That's a big part of it, but there's ethics beyond food. And of course there's interpretation so we'll see variations in meaning from different cultures and people.
I thought halal was just bleeding out an animal while the heart still beats, praying for it?
Is there actually different rituals for the equipment as well?
They have to use separate equipment for all halal foods than non-halal. They have to use special cleaning supplies that are compliant and have no non-Halal ingredients.
I mean, not for a lot of food production. We had Halal cert at our grain mill and a few other places I've worked at, and we never treated the food differently. Same with Kosher. They just send someone out to extort your business for certificate renewal.
Ya know there's caring about religion and there's curiousness. I don't care about the catholics but I'm curious about the torture methods of the Spanish Inquisition...
Learning about other ways to live, act, think and perceive is important if you want to understand the world you live in.
More importantly, to you at least, if you want to change other people caught in said powerplay, you have to listen to them. Forcing them to listen to you, will only make them grab harder at their own beliefs.
And one could argue talking with out listening is a powerplay of its own.
