This death row inmate is upset because he can't get halal meals in prison, his argument, which is a pretty good argument, is that Jewish prisoners can get kosher meals and that not providing Muslim prisoners with halal means is illegal discrimination. Of course if I was a prison official my solution would be to not to offer special meals of any kind, you can get vegetarian or non-vegetarian meals, end of discussion.
I remember a big ruckus when I was in elementary school when they served hot dogs for lunch on Good Friday. Many institutions have eliminated pork entirely from meals because of Muslim and Jewish concerns.
It almost makes me want to become a missionary for a new religion that requires pork consumption. I'd convert prisoners at institutions all over the world.
