Halal Certification on Our Food

[siggie-reported-by-alarmists]

We have received a number of letters from people asking if we will be putting the Muslim Halal logo on our food.l   

 To acquire Halal certification, payment is required to the endorsing body and involves a number of site inspections of both our  

growers and processors in order to ensure that our practices comply with the conditions of Halal certification.  It is important to note 

that this does not reflect the quality of the food being processed or sold – it only means that the products are approved as being 

prepared in accordance with the traditions of the Muslim faith. We are aware of an increasing number of large companies both in 

Australia and overseas, such as Kraft and Cadbury, who have obtained accreditation to use the Halal logo. We don’t believe they have

 done this because of any religious commitment but rather for purely commercial reasons. Perhaps these large organisations can 

afford to do this. While we have a choice however, we would prefer to avoid unnecessarily increasing the cost of our products in order

 to pay for Halal accreditation when this money would be better spent continuing to support important charitable causes where 

assistance is greatly needed. .... Dick Smith

My personal point, is that I do not want to pay a halal tax on food.... if food is maked with a halal certification.....

I have the choice to boycott those goods.  Good on Dick Smith for saying no thanks....

And others have the 'free choice' to buy them.

Indeed they do..... that's why shops sell them.....lol.

I expect the AFP to stop the flow of funds from Businesses that pay halal tax... to when it ends up in terrorists hands then.

Theories...... sigh......

well, yes, if you read that other very recent thread on the very same topic, funding terrorism is one of the main complaints there

If the AFP can track funds from Aussie Businesses through to terrorists.... they should arrest the terrorist!

Halal funds terrorism. Every time you buy halal you are contributing to terrorism funding.

they are onto something here,

but the funding source is not Halal certification

[siggie-reported-by-alarmists]

From UFO's link...

"Muslims contribute zakah to these charitable categories…but only islamic charities:

1. Orphans

2. Poor

3. Traveler (if he/she is in need)

4. Slaves (so they can pay that money to get freedom)

5. A person in debt (so he/she can pay off his/her debt)

6. New revert Muslim (if he/she has lost his/her business/job due to reversion.)

7. Zakah collecting committee

8. The hungry"

Which ones are the terrorists UFO?....

siggies - Again, if you have information showing the funds are not used for shari law support.... I would be interested in reviewing them.

I have never stated Halal funds are used to support Sharia Law.... there is no requirement for me to provide any information.

I do request evidence (from a reliable source) tshould be produced by anyone who posts the above is true. Until then I don't take those claims seriously.

Halal has been found out as a source of terrorism funding: It funds terrorism through zakat.
