"The arrest of one of the failed London bombers apparently has been a breakthrough, as nine more people were arrested earlier today, all in south London. It was also revealed that police found twelve unexploded bombs, some packed with nails, and four detonators in a car belonging to one of the terrorists who died in the July 7 attack.Is it the slaughtering or the humanity that is required? It depends on whether you're speaking of human beings or cattle.
In this rather grisly context, the AP's gratuitous 'religion of peace' reference seems a little jarring:'Residents in Tooting said police arrested three men who lived in an apartment above a takeout restaurant selling halal burgers. Halal is meat from a herbivore slaughtered in a humane way — as Islam requires.'No nail bombs for cows, I guess."
The Qur'an commands fighting, killing, decapitating, and dismembering unbelievers, but I don't recall anything about doing it humanely.
That would mean Allah values unbelievers less than livestock, wouldn't it?
