Halal Choices

[nero_bolt]

Halal Choices..... are you concerned with the halal slaughter of animals such as beef, lamb and poultry.

To be halal certified the animal must be facing Mecca, have its throat cut while still alive and then ritually sacrificed by a Muslim who recites a prayer dedicating the slaughter to Allah.

Because the animals must be slaughtered alive, stun guns are often not an option as they can kill an animal before the heart pumps out all the blood.

Do you read the lables to see whats HALAL or not HALAL  Do you purchase HALAL products or not?

Interesting youtube    https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=mSP47FAtn6U  

The presenter is Kirralie Smith, an average Aussie housewife, who does the weekly grocery shopping. 

Ms Smith became aware, then alarmed, about the Islamic halal certification on so many of her shopping list items. She looked for a list of halal certified foods so she could make informed choices about what to buy and what to avoid.

There was no such list, yet so many supermarket products were stamped 'halal certified'.

Ms Smith started to do her own investigation, calling supermarket chains, grocery producers - even the halal certifiers - all so she could be better informed when she went to do her shopping.

She has personally contacted over 500 companies to determine their halal certification status.

What she discovered was bigger than big. 

Kirralie Smith is the founder and director of HalalChoices. Kirralie holds a BA in Theology and lives with her family in coastal New South Wales. What started as an attempt to put together a shopping list for her family led to two years of research into halal certification schemes in Australia; as well as our most comprehensive resource concerning these tax-like schemes now imposed on the majority of our food products.

If you do not wish to debate, why on earth do you post on discussion forum?

I am near ROFL after reading this thread.

Halal means permissable/allowed.

Do Cadbury's support terrorism?

Halal certification is not mandatory, a competitive advantage is gained over companies with no Halal certification so I suspect it is a marketing strategy..............................

I think what is being suggested is that a tiny part of the price you pay for an Halal labelled product may  be paid to an official accreditation organisation, which may give a portion of it's profits to a charity umbrella organisation called Zakat, which may allocate a portion of that donation to a charity which may redirect part of its funds to terrorist organisations

I have been reading and thinking the same thing az.

What on earth do some of you people think halal actually means?? Do you really think it applies only to meat? And if halal funds terrorists groups (I can't stop laughing at this one) I am wondering how many of the halal labelled products are actually by companies owned by muslims? I suspect a figure so small you could count the number on one hand.

Why can't a person think before asking obvious questions like 'how can fruit be halal?'. Those shiny apples at the supermarket don't polish themselves you know lol.

Yes otherwise an awful lot of Aussies would be in prison because it is an offence to fund terrorist organisations, the whole accusation is ridiculous. Just more of the endless Islamaphobia.

It should also be pointed out that KirraLee Smith = Rise Up Australia Party.

Remember her, the one nation candidate....as far as I know it is still before a court.

Stephanie Banister, a 27-year-old mother of two, is facing criminal charges after allegedly placing anti-Muslim stickers, like "Halal food funds terrorism", on Nestle products in a supermarket.

My kids last school sports day had a sausage sizzle.

All the sausages were Halal.

There were quite a few not impressed that that was the only option.

Now they are having another sausage sizzle this friday.  Halal chick sausages and non halal beef ones
