Judge rules enforcing Muslim law on everyone not establishment of religion

There is so much wrong with what is said in this article that it deserves a whole book rather than the measly few words I will write here. But first and foremost should and indeed, must be,
‘Who gives a crap what Islamic law says?’
If they want the freedom to eat whatever they want, then they should not commit crimes that put them in jail.
And that is just for openers.

A federal judge says an Ohio prison that forces all inmates to adhere to a strict Islamic diet is not an establishment of religion  because everyone eats the same food.

A federal judge recently threw out prisoner James Rivers’ lawsuit against Ohio Prison director Gary Mohr’s decision to ban pork from kitchens in all prisons under control of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. Mohr made the decision to stop serving pork products after a Muslim on death row filed a lawsuit against the prison system.

Abdul Awkal, an inmate on death row, argued in his lawsuit that the prison’s failure to provide halal meals violated his religious freedoms.

Despite Awkal’s claims, Islamic teaching says it is perfectly acceptable to eat non-halal meat if there is no halal food available.

Islam teaches that meat such as pork is considered unclean and not to be eaten. This would include all pork products including sausage and bacon.

Awkal was later joined by a second Muslim who is not on death row. Prison authorities had argued that they provided non-pork and vegetarian options for Muslims. The Muslims said that was not good enough and still insisted that the food they were given meet halal standards.

Despite Awkal’s claims that eating halal meat is a requirement of his faith, Islamic teaching says it is perfectly acceptable to eat non-halal meat if there is no halal food available.

  1. So forcing people of other religions to eat food sacrificed to Allah (Satan) is just fine?

  2. cjk has a point. Muslims should eat halal whenever possible. Christians and Jews should NOT eat food sacrificed to false gods. This point should be raised in court. It wouldn’t go very far though because they’ll use the false argument that Jews, Christians and Muslims worship the same god. Even though Allah (Satan) is clearly not the same god as the God of the Bible.

  3. I don’t know where to start, the decision is so stupid as to be evidence for impeachment of the Judge. Hopefully the decision will be appealed.

  4. When I read that I almost choked on my pork ribs. I’ll have to be more careful.

  5. I’d like to know WHERE all the atheists are, who slam any & all religions, with the sole exception of pIslam? Seems the only atheist with the courage of his convictions is Ernest Perce V {zombie Mohammed}.

  6. Thanks, TC2 – good to know “some” atheists have the courage of their convictions – all those I’ve had contact with slam Christianity/Judaism/Buddhism/Hinduism/etc., left-right-&-center, but never utter a peep re: pIslam ………………………..
