Would a fast-food burger chain's changing to Halal bother you?
It's apparently causing an uproar in France. Some think that halal meat actually tastes different (i.e., worse) than conventional meat. For a relatively englightened country, France puzzles me sometimes. I've been there dozens of times and really dig the place, but this sort of xenophobic BS is ridiculous. I also eat halal meat fairly frequently at a local Iranian owned kebab place - excellent place.

French patriots are inherently xenophobic. Especially towards Americans and Arabs.

Understand that when I refer to "patriotism" I am not necessarily referring to "love of country". To my mind love of country is the deep abiding feeling one has for his people and his nation. Seeing the Virginia coast after a six month deployment brought tears to my eyes thinking of the friends, family and countrymen that I had sworn to defend, and knowing that I would give my life to do just that. That's love of country. Patriotism, to my mind, is just a bunch of flagwaiving, used as a tool by politicians to convince the masses that their policies are "What's best for the Nation". If the politician "Loves America" why would he try to change it, or bring any harm to it? Yeah, sure. "Vote for me, if you Love America and want to take our country back!" NO! I'll vote for you if I like the content of your ideas and policies. I don't care how much you wave the flag in my face. Dave
