"That's the way our parents used"

(in the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate)

Here's a link to my last craparticle at Webislam.com. It's not been translated to English, and it's L-A-T-E, I feel a little sick and I'm affraid my English is not as accurate to define what's spanish muslims controversy about meat considered Halal _"good to eat", "fair", "allowed".


The question is that it doesn't matter if I eat meat or not _the answer used to be "not" until... well, I'm making occasional exceptions, but there's another story to tell about it.

The question is that Halal just can't mean a way of sacrificing cattle. As consumers, muslims, jewish, christians and everyone else should take note on our responsibility to animals. It is in the Torah, and it's commanded in the Noble Quran to us being humble and grateful to every being on the Earth.

How could I consider Halal the meat of a cow starved through thousand kilometres in a truck, without air, without water or food. Raised in a one-metter-cage being feed day and night for sixth months and never seeing sunlight? What would the Prophet (Peace and Blessings upon him) say about it?

So the article focuses at a Halal Live for cattle instead a Halal Death. A conscious consum versus an obsession for rituals and traditions. Traditions which can fall off sense and become empty if we don't reflect on them and look for the Truth behind.

If anyone can read spanish you can read the full article.

And if you want me to translate certain parts, I'll happily do it for you.
