Interestingly, Sikhs don't eat kosher or halal meat due to a restriction on killing beings in the name of God. They view religiously slaughtered animals as sacrifices to God and fundamentally disagree with that.
- shakil 9y agoActually the Islamic perspective is that all life is sacred, however you are permitted to kill an animal for food. The invocation [1] to God when killing is to seek permission for violating this sanctity. 1. http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/islam/islamethics/animals_1.shtml http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/islam/islamethics/an...
- ars 9y agoReally? Kosher too? Because Kosher animals are NOT killed in the name of God. They are just killed painlessly, that's all. Judaism has a very clear distinction for sacrifices for God. There is a blessing said but it just says "Blessed is God who made us holy by commanding us on the rules of Slaughter". It's actually a problem for Halal because many Muslims do not consider it enough, specifically because it is not done in the name of God.
