All the well-known chains sell Halal. It's easier than buying from multiple slaughterhouses, they simply go all-Halal without telling anyone so it keeps Muslims happy. Tesco, Sainsbury's, ASDA, M&S, Lidl.

That's the conundrum
Germany can do whatever it so chooses within their borders, they're a sovereign nation. Iran hangs gays, Saudi Arabia beheads thieves and child molesters, China executes for white collar crimes etc etc etc.
Now are you saying the 'Germans' should do anything other than what the Germans have chosen for themselves? Where are all the arguments posted over the years about the "WE" should keep our noses out of other peoples business?

I edited my above post with an explanation concerning DailyMail.
I agree with your edited comments about the Daily Mail (with exception of its printed sports coverage which I tend to like), but I guess the irony is it panders mainly to the right wing, usually with populist headlines and articles that are based on emotion more than fact.
A little bit like starting a thread about IS but actually showing a distaste for Muslims in general rather than an extreme fundamental terrorist group that actually practices the opposite of what many would see as the Islamic faith?

It also keeps the Jews happy. The slaughtering of meat is similar between Muslims and Jews. Also this just to keep Muslims happy is just nonsense it states in the Qurʼan that food that is lawful for Christians and Jews to eat is lawful for Muslims to eat if anything the stores do this so they can jack prices up.
The best way to sell food is to sell it without ANY religious blessings. Let the people who buy the food put their own blessings and religious ceremonies on them when they get home.

I don't have a distaste for Muslims, if I did I wouldn't hang out with them. I have a distaste for a foreign culture being forced on me.
Imagine in todays world, Europeans immigrating en-masse to Asian and middle-east nations, thereby making ourselves a minority, and then demanding they do things OUR way...
We would be driven out if not summarily executed.
Yet turn the tables, and it's A-OK... WHY??? Because of the color of our f@#kin skin???
We are the only group of people who are not ALLOWED to defend our culture and our traditions, and furthermore we must bow to every other group's traditions and cultures even in our HOME NATIONS????
PURE HYPOCRISY.

Nonsense?
Those were examples of what 'Sovereign Nations' do within their own borders.
If you think what Nations like Iran, Saudi Arabia, China and Germany etc etc etc choose to do as 'Sovereign Nations' within their own borders as 'Nonsense' then I think you may need step away from the keyboard, take a deep breath, maybe open a window, or go for a walk to clear your head.
Freedom of Speech in any Sovereign Nation varies in degree depending on and according to how THEY perceive it. Not by how you or I understand it.

I said it was nonsense because it has nothing to do with the topic of the thread. There is no degrees of Freedom of Speech either you allow it or you don't.
There is not an animal (that lives) on the earth, nor a being that flies on its wings, but (forms part of) communities like you. Nothing have we omitted from the Book, and they (all) shall be gathered to their Lord in the end.
