#1 Residents in Tooting said police had arrested three Turkish men who worked at and lived above a fast food restaurant selling halal burgers â made with meat slaughtered according to Islamic dietary laws.
Halal is meat from a herbivore slaughtered in a humane way, by cutting their throats while they are still alive. Guess you can't use a nail bomb on a cow.

The restaurant owner, who gave his name as Ali, declined to identify the men but said they were aged about 26, 30 and 40. The oldest man had worked for him for eight years, and the other two had started about two months ago, he said.
Six other men were arrested from a property in nearby Garratt Terrace, a street opposite the Tooting Broadway subway station.
"There were about a dozen armed police officers shouting `Come on out or we'll send the dogs in.' And then I saw one large, older-looking Asian man being led out. He was dressed in a white gown or robe," said local resident Ben Astbury, 25, who watched the raid from his house in Garratt Lane. "After that I saw about three other men but I couldn't see clearly what they looked like. My girlfriend then saw two more."

#4 It can't be more human if it's a cow, silly raptor! ;-) But it is more humane than the usual method of slaughter, which involves clubbing the critter just enough to stun it into standing still, then carving it up. That 22 thing isn't commonly used in slaughter houses, I believe. And while I don't know about halal, the rules for kosher slaughter require that the knife be so sharp that the animal can't feel it's throat being cut, and the cut must be deep enough that it bleeds out in moments. Right, Liberalhawk?

#5 Same difference. Can't quiz the cow about how exactly the means might differ.
