You're almost asking them to turn off the wikipedia entirely. I would
say that that was racist to some degree.
If that's racist, then so is a non-Halal
butcher's
shop, and plenty of those exist.
The point is that there are Halal butchers they can go to, so they
aren't significantly disadvantaged.
OTOH I suppose somebody could go through the wikipedia and clear it
out for them and stick it on CD or online, so there are realistic
alternatives.
