Halal Food - Unite or Divide?

I saw this on Tomorrow.sg and thought this could be an interesting read for everyone.

A principal of a primary school in Singapore incited enmity in the online world not too long ago. His felony: dictating that non-Halal food should not be allowed in his school canteen. Several netizens responded in anger at the news and vowed to boycott all eating outlets with a Halal sign on it.
The ongoing debate is there, and well, Singaporeans being Singaporeans, they discuss and open fire on so many issues, yet they maintain their anonymity. But that's not the problem, the discussions about Halal vs Non-Halal is very insightful for all, so do check out the analysis and the debate.

By the way, Char Siew or Friendship is still rather weak and superficial. Maybe Char Siew or Marriage is slightly more realistic.
