فرانس میں تبلیغ اسلام، حجاب اور مسجد کے میناروں کے بعد اب حلال گوشت اور حلال کھانوں کے خلاف بھی مہم شروع ہوگئی ہے، دارالحکومت پیرس میں ان دنوں اسلامی اصولوں کے مطابق حلال گوشت بیچنے اور کھانے کا بڑھتا ہوا رحجان اب سیاسی موضوع بحث بنتا جارہا ہے، گزشتہ دنوں ایک فرانسیسی ٹیلی ویژن چینل نے اپنی نشریات میں ایک دستاویزی فلم کے ذریعے یہ انکشاف کیا کہ پیرس میں لگ بھگ 95 فیصد ذبحہ خانے بڑھیت ہوئی مانگ کے پیش نظر حلال گوشت بیچتے ہیں، اس دستاویزی فلم کے نشر ہونے کے بعد بعض سیاسی جماعتیں، مذہبی ادارے، سوشل گروپ او این جی اوز اس رحجان پر مشتعل نظر آتے ہیں، چند سیاسی جماعتیں اس حلال مسئلہ کو مئی میں ہونے والے صدارتی انتخابات کیلئے اپنے سیاسی منشور کا حصہ بنا رہے ہیں۔ پیرس کے میئر نے ان کھانوں اور گوشت کو متصبانہ قرار دے دیا ہے۔ اور اسکی وجہ یہ بتائی ہے کہ فرانس کی ایک فاسٹ فوڈ کمپنی نے یہ اعلان کیا ہے کہ اس کے ریسٹورنٹوں میں صعرف حلال گوشت فراہم کیا جائے گا کہ ان کے گاہکوں کی بڑی تعداد مسلمان ہے۔ اس پر فرانس کے سیاسی رہنماؤں نے فوڈ کمپنی کے اس اعلان کے خلاف احتجاج کرتے ہوئے اسے مذہبی تعصب قرار دیا ہے چونکہ یہ فاسٹ فوڈ کمپنی حلال گوشت فراہم کرنے کیلئے گاہکوں سے اضافی رقم بھی وصول کرے گی جس پر فرانسیسی سیاسی رہنماؤں کا کہنا ہے کہ یہ دوہری ناانصافی ہے کیونکہ یہ ضروری نہیں کہ ہر شخص (مسلم و غیر مسلم) حلال غذا ہی کھانا چاہتاہو تاہم کمپنی نے اس دلیل کو احمقانہ قرار دیتے ہوئے کہا ہے کہ اضافی رقم تو دینی ہی پڑے گی تاہم اگر کسی کو حلال گوشت پسند نہیں تو وہ کہیں اور جاسکتا ہے لیکن یہ بات اتنی سہل نہیں کہ مغربی معاشرہ اسے ہضم کرسکے۔ اس حوالے سے لیلی میں منعقدہ ایک رییلی سے خطاب کرتے ہوئے PEN نامی صدارتی امیدوار نے کہا ہے کہ پیرس میں تمام ذبحہ خانے ایک خاص اقلیت کے طریقہ کار کو اپنا رہے ہیں وہ اس سلسلہ میں قانونی کارروائی کی اپیل بھی کریں گے پیر سہی سے تعلق رکھنے والے مویشیوں کی خریدو فروخت کرنے والی ایک کمپنی کے سربراہ ہال پی جین نے اپنے ایک انٹرویو میں نامہ نگار کو بتایا ہے کہ ان کے گروپ اور کمپنی کے ایک سروے کے مطابق پیرس اور اس کے مضافاتی علاقوں میں 100 فیصد ذبحہ خانے اسلامی طریقے کے مطابق جانوروں کو ذبحہ کرتے ہیں اس اقدام کے نتیجہ میں سارے فرانس میں موجود تمام افراد کو دانستہ یا غیر دانستہ طور پر حلال گوشت کھلایا جارہا ہے۔ ادھر برطانیہ میں بھی ہزاروں لوگوں نے احتجاج کیا ہے کہ برطانیہ کے سینکڑوں ریستورانوں میں لوگوں کو بتائے بغیر حلال کھلایا جارہا ہے، برطانوی اخابری سن کی ایک رپورٹ کے مطابق ریستورانوں کے علاوہ سکولوں، کالجوں، ہسپتالوں، تعلیمی اداروں اور سپورٹس کی بڑی جگہوں پر ہزاروں افراد کو خبردار کئے بغیر بڑی مقدار میں حلال گوشت کھلایا جارہا ہے، اخبار کے مطابق ایسے اقدام اٹھانے پر کئی مقامات گاہکوں نے شدید احتجاج کیا ہے سکولوں میں گوشت کھلانے سے پہلے اس کے (جانور) کلنگ کے طریقہ کار سے متعلق مفصل بتایا جائے۔ لندن میں حلال فوڈ اتھارٹی کے صدر پاکستانی نژاد برطانوی مسعود خواجہ نے کہا ہے کہ لوگوں کو بتائے بغیر حلال گوشت کھلانا غیر اخلاقی حرکت ہے جوکہ بالکل غلط ہے، مسعود خواجہ نے کہا ہے کہ جس طرح مسلمانوں ں کے پاس حلال گوشت کھانے کا چوائس موجود ہے اس طرح غیر حلال کھانے والوں کیلئے بھی چوائس ہونی چاہئے، خواجہ کا کہنا ہے کہ ہر گاہک کو اس بات کا صحیح اور مکمل اطلاع ہونی چاہئے کہ اسے کیا کھلایا جارہا ہے؟ یا وہ کیا کھا رہا ہے؟ برطانیہ کی فارم ویلفیئر اینیمل کونسل نے یورپی یونین سے مطالبہ کیا ہے کہ حلال گوشت پر پابندی لگائی جائے جبکہ بعض تنظیموں کا کہنا ہے کہ گاہکوں کو کھانوں کے بارے میں ممل معلومات دی جائیں اور باخبر کیا جائے۔

"After ban on hijab and preaching of islam........work starts to ban Halal meat"

Re: France ready to impose restrictions on halal meat after hijab…

— In a bitterly divisive presidential election campaign, France is once again torn by an uncomfortable struggle over the place of Muslims in a society pledged to secularism but deeply rooted in Christianity.After a disputed law to ban full-face Muslim veils, the latest chapter in the long-running drama has flared over non-Muslims who might unknowingly eat halal meat, or meat from animals slaughtered according to Islamic tradition. As with the veil debate, the concern over slaughtering practices reflects a widely shared irritation against the growing number of Muslims who defy France’s traditional majority by insisting on their own customs and dress codes.

    The confrontation between traditional Muslim ways and Europe’s Christian heritage has erupted [in several European countries](http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/05/14/AR2010051405282.html) as the number of Muslims increases across the continent because of continuing immigration and the customary large families of Muslim immigrants.

But it is particularly raw in France. This is true in part because it has emerged as an issue in the election campaign. But it is also because, with Europe’s largest Muslim population, France has a number of urban and suburban areas where Muslims are a majority and find it easy to live according to their traditions without seeking to integrate into French society.The number of Muslims in France has never been established scientifically because it is illegal here to ask people to identify themselves by race or religion. The Interior Ministry, backed by academic researchers, estimates the number of those born into Muslim families at more than 5 million. But some Muslim leaders have suggested that illegal immigrants are undercounted and the real tally is closer to 6 million, although many of them do not practice their faith.Tension on the tableThe spark for the latest round of invective was a claim by Marine Le Pen, presidential candidate of the far-right National Front, that all the meat consumed by Parisians is halal and that millions of French people are consuming halal meat without knowing it.President Nicolas Sarkozy at first dismissed the claim as nonsense, and butchers agreed. But sensing a campaign issue worth hammering on, he then called Saturday for labels on all meat describing how the animals were slaughtered. A recent poll said halal meat was the No. 1 worry of the French people, he told reporters while explaining his shift.Sarkozy’s main adversary, Francois Hollande of the Socialist Party, accused the president of banging on Muslims to gain National Front votes and called for “restraint.” Hollande said the only real concern should be that animals are slaughtered in humane and sanitary conditions and promised to make sure that is the case “in cooperation with the professionals.”Against that background, Interior Minister Claude Gueant, a key Sarkozy lieutenant, declared that non-French Muslim residents, if they are allowed to vote in local elections as proposed by Hollande, could gain a majority in town councils and impose halal meat in school cafeterias. His warning, repeated several times, was denounced as a scare tactic by Hollande’s campaign and repudiated even by some Sarkozy supporters

I have already said that the clash of civilizations is not my cup of tea,” said Foreign Minister Alain Juppe. “I think the halal meat problem is in reality a false problem.”
Mohammed Moussaoui, who heads the French Council of the Muslim Religion, said he was concerned to see the question of halal meat enter the campaign because “it creates tensions in the society.” But he avoided confronting the issue head-on, following a long-standing policy of keeping a low profile.
France’s Jewish leaders, whose kosher tradition requires similar slaughtering techniques, also expressed concern. Rabbi Bruno Fiszon, a specialist in the issue, said labeling meat only by the way it was slaughtered “would lead to stigmatization.”
Prime Minister Francois Fillon intensified the storm with a suggestion that Muslims and Jews alike should think about abandoning their slaughtering traditions, which he said “no longer have much to do with today’s state of science, with the state of technology, with health problems.”
The main difference between modern slaughtering practices and those for meat deemed halal or kosher is that the latter call for the animal to be put to death by having its throat slit in a prescribed manner. Fillon’s suggestion was that the Muslim and Jewish traditions responded to sanitary concerns that are no longer imperative.
The head of the Representative Council of French Jewish Institutions, Richard Prasquier, responded that he was “shocked” by Fillon’s proposal, leading Fillon to invite Jewish and Muslim community leaders in for a talk to smooth things over.

**Echoes of the veil ban
**
The halal dispute ended nearly a year of relative calm since enactment of the law last spring banning full-face veils in public places. The law, supported by Hollande’s Socialists as well as Sarkozy’s conservative majority, was denounced by Muslim groups as stigmatization of their traditions but widely applauded in opinion polls.
More than 280 women were accosted by police for wearing full-face veils in violation of the law between its enactment in April and the end of 2011, according to the Interior Ministry. Of those, 237 were cited with summons similar to tickets handed out for driving violations, producing only six convictions and one fine.
For a Muslim couple in Lyon, however, the law was taken a step too far. They sued the city for $65,000 for what they called a “humiliation at the so precious moment of celebrating a marriage” and “an attack on the fundamental liberty of religion.”
The woman, identified as Nassima, showed up with her groom last June to be married in Lyon’s Ninth District. The judge, they alleged in their suit, refused to perform the ceremony until Nassima took off the veil covering her hair, a garment that was not prohibited by the April law and that was not so different from the white veils worn at traditional Christian weddings.
The judge defended her action as “defense of women’s liberties.” She was identified as Fatiha Benahmed.

Re: France ready to impose restrictions on halal meat after hijab......

^What does it mean "Immigrants might IMPOSE halal meat on French school children"???!

Why would immigrants do that? If they want halal meat wouldn't they just prepare their food at home like the rest of us would...? Or are they expecting the Muslim population to increase so much that the food served in school would have to be halal!?

I also remember reading somewhere on the net that they are doing the same in Netherlands too...

Re: France ready to impose restrictions on halal meat after hijab......

This is the French being morons. The traditional butcher shops are more expensive and are being run out of business by cheaper alternatives, which happen to be run by immigrants. That's just the market deciding what it wants.

To make things worse, many people are put off by the visual of an animal being killed in a halal way, even though scientific papers have shown that "modern" slaughter houses cause much more pain and suffering.

Re: France ready to impose restrictions on halal meat after hijab......

their country...their rules.......

Re: France ready to impose restrictions on halal meat after hijab…

Halal meat is readily available in French supermarkets :mudhosh:. Here we have to find halal butcher shop(if any around) and then pay more to eat halal.
