@Ubi I suggest u to get your words right. SE isn't a social media to use vocabulary as you wish. There's a Code of Conduct. Secular here means what it actually means i.e who is not connected to any religion and respects every religion equally. SE is a secular site which respects every religion equally. This is just a site for learning Hinduism not a Hindu site which preaches. That's where you're confused. Only answers are to be backed up with references. Comments are just for clarification. Please get your facts right from SE. Learn about "boat meme" on SO to know if your example is on-topic.

@UbiBhatt See help center for what is on-topic for the site. You can also see what is off-topic in the same page. There can be Hinduism equivalent for any term. English is not a part of Hinduism but you are talking. right? Meat is also an English word but we find an English equivalent. Ask the OP what they mean by Halal but this question doesn't become off-topic. "Secular mentality everywhere" What exactly do you mean by that? What else do you expect then? Fight among each other? This is not a Hindu website. Please understand Stack Exchange model. This is not a place to demand or debate.
Nog Shine

@UbiBhatt This question is not off-topic question. Our site includes social and cultural aspects of Hinduism too. This is as valid as "Can Hindus eat Beef/meat". I am not sure where and why you got the information this question is off-topic.

How many users would know what are logos or what is Jewish mysticism? But does that make off-topic because many don't know about it? No. That question is on-topic. Apply the same for the question we discussed so far. Halal may be an Islamic term. There is no difference in opinion in it but just because there is one term, we don't close questions as off-topic.

Q: Is there a concept like the concept of Logos in Hinduism?

salahIn western Philosophy, Jewish mysticism and Christianity there's an important concept, that is the concept of Logos. This concept is important in theology, cosmology and creation of the world. Is there a concept like the concept of Logos in Hinduism?

A recent question..
Nog Shine
Jan 12, 2020 04:37
An example I would take here is this question. Western religions contain concept of Satan. We don't find "Satan" or the term "Satan" in scriptures either. Why is this question not closed?

Q: Does the concept of Evil Spirits occur in Hinduism?

Question is asking can Hindus eat that food. Ask it on Islam.SE, it will be closed soon. It's quite clear the question is asking whether Hindus are allowed or not.

Q: Is comparison of a topic with other religions on-topic?

Mr_GreenI thought this question was asked before on meta. but couldn't find a link. So, I am asking it. Is it on-topic to ask for differences/relation by comparing other religion similar topics? Something like: The differences between “Nirvana” in Buddhism and “Moksha” in Hinduism

@UbiBhatt Our site is not limited to scriptures. There are many terms which are not found in scriptures. But Hinduism in practice talks about them. The OP said there are some spices and pickles. Ask a question in comments what exactly they mean by Halal vegetarian. It's not closeable as off-topic.

I mean we can't just close a question because we don't like it. Even question should be close worthy.
Nog Shine
Jan 10, 2020 04:45
One can't close questions as their wish. There's scope for that. There is a standard behaviour too. That's written in Code of Conduct. So we can't just do what we want. Close is not downvote or dislike button.
Nog Shine
Jan 10, 2020 04:43
@UbiBhatt Well, the OP wants to know whether Hindus can eat it and not Muslims. If question is not clear, please ask for clarification and flag as unclear. But not as off-topic. If there is clarity, this question can be on-topic.
Nog Shine
Jan 10, 2020 04:42
This is off-topic question because it's a question about a Hindu alone. It falls under boat meme of Stack Overflow.
Nog Shine
Jan 10, 2020 04:40
> Can hindu fly an Apache Helicopter? Should also be consider proper question, because we are talking about social activity of a Hindu, isn't it.
Nog Shine
Jan 10, 2020 04:39
@UbiBhatt I am not talking about halal meat or halal vegetarian or the other. I am saying it's on-topic because the OP seems to know whether eating halal certified food is ok for a Hindu.

@UbiBhatt "Their" is correct pronoun.
