The Tao of Cliff

Cliff Clavin: [in comparison to a Jewish bris] The original rites of passage started with the jungle tribes down there in Borneo. 
Norm Peterson: Yeah? 
Cliff Clavin: When the young jungle tribal lad was on the brink of puberty, they'd bring him forward and take out this large sharpened clam shell... 
Sam Malone: Oh, no, no, no don't tell me... 
Cliff Clavin: ...they would fill it with dip, pass it around with the hors d'oeuvres... 
Sam Malone: Oh. 
Cliff Clavin: ...then they'd take these two big jagged rocks in there... 
Norm Peterson: Cliffy, Cliff, Cliff... 
Cliff Clavin: ...and bang them together to call in the tribes out of the hills, you know. Then the witch doctor stepped up with this long sharpened bamboo staff... 
Sam Malone: Oh, here it comes. 
Cliff Clavin: ...and shoved it into the ground, hung a flag on it and they danced around it, pretty much, until they dropped, really. 
Sam Malone: Oh, wait... When do they circumcise the kid? 
Cliff Clavin: What do you mean circumcize? There are no Jews in Borneo, you mook. 
Ricpic: Oy what a Schmendrik!
Coach Ernie Pantusso What's that? I don't know how to make that drink. And I know everything!

Belguim bans Kosher and Halal practices to scream of Social Justice Warriors.

Daily Mail May 8, 2017 by Gareth Davies
A Belgian region has banned halal and kosher slaughter in a move condemned as the greatest assault on Jewish religious rights since Nazi occupation. 

The bill to prohibit the practice was passed unanimously by the environment committee of the Walloon Parliament in the south of the country and similar bills could be rolled out across Belgium.

Meat produced as Jewish kosher or Muslim halal require the fully-conscious animals to have their throats slit in a ritual slaughter in order to drain their blood. 

The ban has drawn criticism from the religious community, who have labeled the move as 'scandalous'.

Animal rights activists, who believe stunning the animals before killing them is more humane, will welcome the news, but both the Jewish and Muslim society have spoken out against it. 

The European Jewish Congress called the law, which will be implemented by September 2019, scandalous and its president Moshe Kantor told The Independent it sends a terrible message to Jewish communities throughout Europe that Jews are unwanted.

Muslim and Jewish communities have condemned the ban as an attack on religion

'It attacks the very core of our culture and religious practice and our status as equal citizens with equal rights in a democratic society,' he said.

'We call on legislators to step back from the brink of the greatest assault on Jewish religious rights in Belgium since the Nazi occupation of the country in World War Two. 

Talking before the legislation was passed, the regional minister of animal welfare in the region Ben Weyts voiced his approval of the ban.

He said: 'Unstunned slaughter is outdated.

'In a civilised society, it is our damn duty to avoid animal suffering where possible.'

A similar ban will come into play in the Flemish region of Belgium by January 2019, stopping people killing animals before stunning them. 

The Musl

im community have also come out opposing the ban, with the Belgian Muslim Executive telling The Independent: 'Muslims are worried about whether they can eat halal food in conformity with their religious rites and beliefs.'
