Apart from Islam, the fastest growing religion in the west; maybe because it still sticks by its ideals, rules and regulations (whether we agree with them or not) unlike Christianity?
Maybe because the number of practicing Christians is in sharp decline and being replaced by a larger number of practicing Muslims coming to live in the West? Unfortunately, the Enlightenment hasn't reached the world of Islam and anyone speaking out about religion gets dispatched pretty quickly - sounds like the Spanish Inquisition all over again!
Anyway, back on topic, if MRE is dropped out the back of the Herc/C17 and if you happen to be starving then the good book will allow you to eat it, Halal or no Halal.
