The question of Halal foods

- John M Hartley, Chippenham

Sir, It is not acceptable for unidentifi­ed halal products to be sold in shops and restaurant­s as apparently condoned by the Bishops of Liverpool and of West Yorkshire in the article ‘Halal meat defended’, (16 May).

We need to recognise the fact that Islam seeks to control the lives, not just of Muslims, but also of the rest of us whom the Koran disparagin­gly refers to as ‘infidels’. It is Islamic Sharia law that states that all should observe Halal principles and Christians should not be prepared to allow Islam to put this particular ‘tick in the box’ in its relentless pursuit of global Islamisati­on.
