The "Halal Spaces" in the Western Countries
In the recent years, World Halal food manufacturers had been putting a lot of attention to the Halal acceptance in Britain as there were conflicts over the provision of Halal in schools, especially in the politics of religious slaughter and the marketing of Halal meat. In many parts of London such as Finsbury Park, Edgware Road, and Whitechapel Road, Halal is a distinctive presence on signs and in butcher shops and restaurants. Lately, more and more types of Halal-certified products are appearing in supermarkets such as Tesco and ASDA.
In the contemporary London, the term of "Halal" is no longer an expression of esoteric forms of production, trade, and consumption. Global Halal market is a huge and expanding globalized market. A Canadian government statistical study reveals that the global Halal trade annually amounts to $150 billion, and it is growing among the world's approximately 1.3 billion Muslims. It is said that the transformation of living standard and lifestyle of the Muslim and non-Muslim ethnographic did showed that the proliferation of modern "Halal is everywhere" in the western countries.
The "Halal Spaces" (as quoted by Johanna Pink), refer to Halal environment such as restaurants, butcher shops, grocery and convenience stores, supermarkets, and hypermarkets. Halal spaces are ubiquitous in urban Malaysia.
