I don't see an issue with it. If say, an area where a lot of non-Muslims were around (The CBD of London, as a quick example), I'd go get some place where I can get a BLT instead of Subway,
If only it was that simple.
When they do this story on Halal, they always give you the idea it's only about the meat. Halal meat must come from an animal that's been bled alive, and in most cases they don't like the idea of stunning it first, you are told.
So yeah that kind of sucks, but the Jews have similar laws and what the Hell, it's just a Subway shop in a Muslim district, so if they want their Halal, let them have their Halal, and just keep walking.
Except, as I said before it's not that simple. It's not just about the meat.
Check this one out.
http://www.eathalal.ca/2009/02/kellogs- ... haram.htmlSo back in 2009 somebody was writing Kellogs complaining about how there was gelatin in the cereal. Kellogs writes them back and basically says, yeah but that's just the way it is.
2 years later and Kellogs is going Halal, and they're paying a kind of Jizya tax for the privilege of calling themselves Halal.

It's incremental. It starts with a well mannered question curiously seeking information on something like gelatin in mini wheats, then the whining begins, the complaints of victimization and unfair treatment.
It isn't just against corporations either. It can be something like "The Jews get kosher in prison. Wah!". Free food won't do in schools or food banks anymore. "Why isn't it Halal? Wahhhh!"
Pressure groups begin doing what they do. Voting blocks talk to politicians. The next thing you know the UK is only 5% Muslim, but 25% of the food services in Britain are Halal, and paying the Halal Jizya. Halal businesses are taking control of food manufacture and delivery. Money is flowing and big chunks of it start to go to terrorist organizations through a network of seeming charities.
Then there's me. I always looked forward to Easter. I used to like those rich and gooey Cadbury Easter eggs. This year I hear Cadbury's has gone Halal. Damn. Now I have to put Cadbury's Easter Eggs on my boycott list with Kellog's cereals, Campbell's soups, and now, I guess, Subway sandwiches.
Oh well, no more Cadbury Easter eggs for me. The Muslims made Cabury's go Halal for Easter, but they can't make me.
