If atheists don't belive in God or religion, and go on about how silly it is for Christians, Jews, Muslims to believe in fairy tales, why do they get so upset when someone utters a prayer? Is it effecting their way of life? Will you become a muslim because you've eaten Halaal meat? Or a Jew - because you've eaten Kosher. I assume the Mail did not throw its arms in the air about Kosher - probably did not want to upset any of the Jews that sit on its board.

I think you know as well as the rest of us that if halal was nothing to do with Islam this wouldn't have made it in to the Mail or on to CF.
