There should be separation of religion and state in (general) public eating places.

Holy smoke, so we should do away with all government regulations about eating? bugger me, you really do have a death wish!
You've lost me, the state regulates public eating etc, keep religious demands out of it

A lot of people believe that islam is evil and demonic, why should they be forced to eat meat that has been dedicated to a satanic deity?

Please quantify "a lot"? What are your sources for this? How reliable are they? The only people who seem to hold that view that I can discover are weirdo way-out wankers who have a mental health problem about other religions. Why should their opinion be listened to? They are only a handful.
You're certainly out of touch with reality, there is a huge amount of media available (internet, print, audio) which demonstrates a distinct aversion to islam by other beliefs. They should not have islam forced on them in a public place.

People should be allowed a choice, I agree. However, you seem to want to even deny that! You are a bigotl!
Again your pro islam, anti everything else is showing, health regulations seem to me to be the only necessary dictates in a public eating place, religious observances should not be forced on those who do not want them.

Why has the perspective got to favour one religious position only?

It doesn't, except in your imagination.
An islamic ritual is being forced on people who do not want it.

Secularism / Separation of Church and State should apply, in public places.

So, then no display of religious symbols in public? Lets rip down all the Crosses on top of churches then. All the religious signs outside places of worship! Change all the placenames which include references to religion! Change all peoples' names with references to religion! Change all food names with references to religion!
Or do you want this ONLY to apply to Muslims? Looks to me like a lot more people will be effected than you realised by your absolutist stance!
You seem to have a problem differentiating between church owned property and state owned public property.
I refer you to the following:

schools, colleges, hospitals, workplace canteens for the sake of a minority is what should be stopped.
Quote:Three-quarters of schools under Waltham Forest Council control serve only Halal meat, the Guardian can reveal.
A total of 46 schools and academies supported by the local authority order only Halal meat from Waltham Forest Catering, their supplier.
Just one school serves both Halal and non-Halal meat and 15 serve meat from animals slaughtered using ‘standard’ methods, a Guardian enquiry has discovered.
The news comes after a row erupted at Larkswood Primary School in New Road, Chingford, last month when parents were informed meat served there would be replaced by food prepared according to the rituals of Islam from mid-April.
Parents said they had no issue with Muslim children practicing their faith and eating Halal meat but did not want these religious beliefs imposed on their own sons and daughters.
A council spokesman said: “All meat provided to local schools is certified by the Halal Food Authority. HFA certified meat is from animals that are stunned prior to slaughter.”
I agree, individuals should not have other people's religious observances forced on them in public places.
