Boycott petrol!

[i-need-a-martini]

Halal certification funding terrorism = a big fat lie.

Crude Oil funding terrorism = fact.

So IF you are really so concerned about the spread of Islam, the horror of terrorism, and the threat of muslims taking over Australia then I suggest you stop driving a car.

So far this fact has been ignored in the halal obsessed threads which is very odd given the feverish arguments about Islamic terrorism.

In that case I wont be paying for something I don't want or agree with to appease just 2% of trouble makers who don't want to be here other than to cause trouble.

Why should I pay an extortion tax

Exactly. You don't have to buy it and if you don't buy it  nobody will be "extorting" a "tax" from you. So what are you bellyaching about?

Is that Vortex petrol halal certified? It's much more expensive.

Don't buy my petrol from WW or Coles outlets, never have never will.  Don't buy supermarket meat either, much prefer it fresh from the farm

Got to be consistent though , those that don't want to support funds going to terrorist with halal cert money, 

Who says? like you with your your Cadbury's bikkies being made in Poland, I similarly like don't like my Lipton's Fruits of the Forest herbal tea infusion being made in Russia. So I don't buy it.

It's not JUST about funds going towards terrorism. You are speaking only for your self though... there are many anti-halal label objector out there and that is their main reason for objecting to halal certification.

Aussies have no need for some black-robed priest  chanting ritual prayers over the poor beast while it collapses and dies slowly of blood-loss from it's cut throat. That's just barbaric and there's no place for it in a modern and progressive society.

You seem fixated on only one type of  food product/produce... What does a black robed priest (priest?? Muslim?) stand over vegemite jars and chant? There are many types of food that have halal labels.

Aussies just want it stunned and and killed before it knows what hit it. No need for cruel archaic practices 

   Aussies also balk at supporting a religion that suppresses women and teaches intolerance against those that don't follow it.

Aussies don't really like their producers feeling pressured by religious groups into paying for certification that is not required by the majority of the population, either. Again speaking for yourself. The anti-halal label objectors are a minority. Which is ironic as they say why do they have to pander to a minority  ( 2% of the pop. who is Muslim) yet they expect the rest of Australia to pander to their request to end halal certification

surely they don't want their petrol money used for the same purpose.

You do know this is just a tongue in cheek call by Martini.  To boycott petrol?   Of course

She doesn't really expect anyone to. Ask ***super_nova***. Post 26

Got it in one! Every company has the right to make it's own commercial decisions and every consumer has the right to decide whether or not to buy from them - so why all the angst?.

Having said that, however: to assume that 98% of Australians would refuse to buy from a company simply because it ihad halal certification is taking wishful thinking to ridiculous extremes.

And refusing to buy from those companies doe not imply a  right to threaten, abuse and bully them, spread false accusations about their decisions or try to intimidate others into boycotting them

[cherry*135]

No, it doesn't. Small businesses, companies, corporations make their own commerical decisions.

If 98% of consumers would boycott a product with a halal label, how come Vegemite is still going strong over 10 years later, since the had it halal certified? Also, Bega Cheese - 18 years halal certified products for export.
