#3 The headteacher announced that she intended to replace the childrens traditional turkey meal with halal chicken.

She explained that eating poultry which had been slaughtered in the Muslim way would create an integrated Christmas.

Will the 'Muslim Christmas Dinner' be followed by the beheading of all the little boys and raping of the little girls by the muslim faithful too?

Would that be 'integrated' enough?

#4 Is halal the same as Kosher? If so call it Kosher and slap a star of david on it and allow the Muslims to eat all they want.

#6 To the best of my knowledge, rjshwarz, halal food is nothing like kosher, except the intersecting sets of forbidden/permitted ingredients. As I understand it, halal slaughtering is done while saying a certain prayer and facing Mecca, and things like a sexually trangressed-upon permitted animal is halal for selling to villages other than one's own, so long as it is slaughtered in the halal manner. Cleanliness as such, so critical for kashrut, doesn't seem to be nearly as important for the halal label, given reports coming out that halal labelled foods sold in Europe fairly consistently fail State-required hygiene tests. this compares to kosher-certified foods, which generally exceed FDA standards.

And sometimes are not hallal at all, even containing pork! When big money is at play, and hallal food IS, screwing your fellow believers is, well, hallal.
