More Islamification of our society. A small step here, a bigger step to follow.
As someone commented:
"Make it halal and don't tell us. Make us go elsewhere if we want non-halal food. Make our graves face Mecca and don't tell us. Make us apply in writing to have graves that don't face Mecca. PC has turned the world upside down, as Orwell predicted. Next the servers at McDonald's in Muslim area's will be wearing head coverings...
I see it as one step in a series of steps on a slippery slope of concessions to an ideology that has declared its intent to annihilate us.
There is also the issue of deceit and sacrilege as has already been pointed out. How do you suppose Muslims would react if they were told food they were being served was being blessed by a Catholic bishop?
And where is the line drawn - how about neighborhood-specific incantations and prayers? Rastafarian? Voodoo? Wiccan? Hindu? Perhaps the menu could vary by religion - "I'll have a Rastafarian #4 Super-sized, please!" "
"It has pretty much doubled our sales." And that's all that matters, right? From the Sunday Herald :
McDONALD'S latest bid to attract more customers -- Muslim fast-food lovers -- has caused uproar among customers. The fast-food chain has introduced halal products at two Melbourne restaurants, significantly boosting sales.
However some non-Muslim customers are furious they were not told their hamburger meat was slaughtered and blessed in accordance with Islamic rules laid down in the Koran.
McDonald's consulted Muslim leaders before introducing halal products at its Brunswick East and St Albans stores.
Halal meat is from animals that have been killed facing Mecca and blessed using the name of Allah.
Brunswick East store assistant manager Nicholas Yacoub said the move had attracted a surge of new customers.
"It has pretty much doubled our sales," Mr Yacoub said.
The store does not tell drive-through customers about the change and has only one small sign inside advertising the move.
Coburg resident Miriam McLennan was stunned to discover the hamburger she bought from the Brunswick East store was blessed.
"Just as a Muslim would not want to eat anything that isn't halal . . . I should have my rights to eat normal, ordinary food that hasn't been blessed," she said.
A Catholic Church spokesman said non-Muslims deserved to know if the food was halal before buying. But he said there was no biblical reason for Christians to avoid halal food.
A McDonald's spokeswoman said customers who did not want halal food should buy from any of its other stores.

As for the statement by the RCC Church spokesman sorry..yes there is a biblical reason: I dont eat stuff dedictated to the devil.
