*I'm sorry, but I fail to see where in the U.S. Constitution it says
that businesses must cater to specific religions:**

in fight over Halal chicken**TheStar.com

A group of Muslim restaurant franchisees is fighting fast-food chain
Popeyes Louisiana Chicken in court over the right to sell
hand-slaughtered Halal meat for religious reasons.
The battle in Ontario Superior Court comes after the Atlanta-based
franchise moved to replace the chicken supply with machine-killed
birds in 14 Toronto restaurants. The company says it’s still
Halal-certified; the franchisees claim the machine method is against
the beliefs of a majority of Muslims.
“If I begin selling machine-slaughtered chicken, I will immediately
lose an enormous segment of my customers,” reads the sworn affidavit
from Abdul Haffejee, who owns eight Popeyes in the GTA.
Haffejee, who donates Popeyes chicken to mosques and sponsored Muslim
Day at Canada’s Wonderland, said between 50 and 80 per cent of his
customers are Muslim.
“All of the members of the Muslim community that I have worked so hard
to attract will be gone instantly. They cannot be replaced,” he said
in his affidavit, claiming tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of
dollars at stake.
Halal is a term used to denote if something is lawful in the Islamic faith.
There are specific requirements for killing animals: a slaughterer who
is Muslim or a believer, a blessing, and certain arteries cut before
the slaughter.*And, where's PETA on this issue? Yeah, that's right;
crickets.*
