Halal or not halal .. ?

[Symmetrical]

Question for Muslims to answer:
Why do Muslims have to eat 'halal' foods .. ?
Why do Muslims have to slit the throat of an animal and let it die slowly by bleeding out .. ?
Would you eat something that is not halal but you're dying of hunger?

Questions for other religions to answer:
Would you eat halal foods? If 'YES' please explain why ..
Do you think Muslim's way of sacrificing the animal is a good way?

Please keep this thread formal ..
No insulting one another ..
and NO COPYING FROM OTHER SOURCES !

Why do Muslims have to eat 'halal' foods .. ?

Because we buy food from our hard working money. We do not steal, thats why its called halal.

Why do Muslims have to slit the throat of an animal and let it die slowly by bleeding out .. ?

I have read about it in the past, its something related to germs and whats not.

Would you eat something that is not halal but you're dying of hunger?

I would eat yes, I will steal if I had to.

That doesn't really make sense though. From what I have read of Islamic sources, they claim the blood to be the medium for bacteria, however if there is already infection in the blood then the rest of the animal would be tainted as well. If the meat is cooked, the bacteria will die, making the food safe. I have also read that they claim it keeps meats more fresh for a longer period of time, which also doesn't make sense, as bacterial cultures start to grow on deceased organisms in as close to 10 minutes after death, with or without blood. Salt is a true preservative, but that is not mentioned. It doesn't make any sense.

If that was your definition for Hala food then you're mistaken m8 , so is -Lame.
To eat Halal food is to eat the kind of meat that doesn't eat another meat , yes seems hard to understand. More basic , It's to eat animals that doesn't eat another animals meat (Like we don't eat sharks etc...) , Also Muslims don't eat Pigs for 2 reasons *because Pigs eats their shit *because they don't feel jealous on their life mates (don't really understand this reason tho). @Symmetrical In Islam if you kill an animal by slitting his throat slowly that's considered as none-halal meat , Islam considered to kill them fast so they don't feel anything , also can you tell me how in other religions or in the rest of the world the animals are killed ?
Also I eat none-halal meat so that answers your third question.

Halal meat derives from the Jewish "kosher", as much of Islam is.

However, unlike Jews, the muslims are incredibly stupid in their explanations. For jewish people it was for sanitation as they were a nomadic tribe, however Muslims just kind of put that in there without understanding its origins and think that its ok.

ALL of halal, is pointless with technology advancement. Just another thing Muslims will blindly follow without asking why though.

I wish I could eat bacon .. but I'm surrounded by Muslim influence ..

Why do Muslims have to eat 'halal' foods .. ? because the manner in which the animal has been killed matters
Why do Muslims have to slit the throat of an animal and let it die slowly by bleeding out .. ? because directly cutting the throat stops the pain completely for the animal
Would you eat something that is not halal but you're dying of hunger? i read somewhere that it permits us to eat something not halal if it's a death situation and if we were not aware it wasn't halal

Halal means allowed,
and about slitting a throat of a goat... are you a goat to care?

I won't agree with you, but the benifits is overwhelming the disadvantages. (since there is no disadvantages from my own perspective)
