@ ChessAllah:
You're reaching.
If you want to take jabs at certain religions (or religion in general), cut the foreplay and just do it.

I have no issue making fun of all religions. It is especially lovely listening to Christians make fun of other religions, in which the theology is practically identical.
It's funny at first, i agree, but it soon becomes sad and disconcerting once i remember that people base hate and war on these sorts of ideals (that are, generally speaking, virtually identical to those held by the ones they're hating and fighting against).

Yeah -- i don't think we have any disagreement about making religious jokes.
My original comment ("You're reaching...cut the foreplay and just do it.") wasn't me saying you shouldn't be making jokes -- it was me saying that you should just come out and say them instead of pasting the tenets of halal food prep under a game you inexplicably dubbed 'Halal Chess.'
It just felt like you were trying to make fun of halal, or religious food prep in general, or Islam...without actually getting around to making fun of it.
It would seem that Imam's (Mufti, Mullah or Ayatollah's) cannot quite decide if Chess is Halaal or Haraam (forbidden).
The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia has ruled that chess is 'haraam' or forbidden under Islamic law.
Certainly [board] games of chance with gambling are Haraam, for example poker.
I imagine that "Snakes and Ladders" a board game played with dice is Haraam.
I do not quite see what the definition of halal in terms of food has to do with it under the Moslem faith.
The game looks more like computer chess than anything else.
