Islam seems to have taken a bit of a beating in the papers recently (more so than usual) and whilst I’ll usually let most things go, I have to be honest it has been a little annoying lately.
The latest thing has been the burning of the Quran by various people. I mean what exactly do these people expect to gain by carrying out such stupid and disrespectful acts? Clearly it will give extremists further ammunition and just add more fuel to an already out of control fire, so how will that help anyone?
On another related issue - Halal meat... The newspaper makes it seem like there is something sinister going on in the UK. The article states how famous institutions such as schools, hospitals, pubs and certain famous sporting venues are serving ritually slaughtered meat (read as: meat prepared in accordance to strict Islamic law) without any warning. Controversial? Warnings? Hello? What aspects are they worried about that they public should be ‘warned’ about?
*Cue dramatic music* Britain goes halal.... but no-one tells the public!!! Shock! Horror!
