As far as I can tell they only added a line saying there will be both alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. Google cache has the orginal page as it was posted last week.<BR/><BR/>Surely the whole dinner including the Dutch dishes will be halal. But apart from possible animal cruelty I don't see a problem with that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18600181.post-60361995445166316312008-05-21T08:07:00.000-07:002008-05-21T08:07:00.000-07:00Hi anonymous,Newspapers can always err and Telegra...Hi anonymous,<BR/><BR/>Newspapers can always err and Telegraaf is a 'sensational' newspaper.<BR/><BR/>I have updated the article based on what the VVD site now says, but notice that it has been updated today. If you can find what the site originally advertised, it will be easier to decide whether it was taking things out of context.<BR/><BR/>Note that the Telegraaf did speak with one of the invitees, who also understood this to be a halal-only meal.Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06697128144253268996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18600181.post-5433881607111371322008-05-21T07:35:00.000-07:002008-05-21T07:35:00.000-07:00Would it not be great if you could just believe wh...Would it not be great if you could just believe what Telegraaf writes. Check the facts for yourself.<BR/><BR/>Read the actual invitation for this VVD diner. The goal of the meeting is to help imigrant shopkeepers to integrate in Dutch society. <BR/><BR/>The actual dinner is prepared without alcohol and is a combination of Morrocan, Turkisch and Dutch food.<BR/><BR/>In my opinion this Telegraaf article is so far of the facts that is ranks as propaganda.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
