Halal certification: Army mandates Muslim-certified food for our Diggers

ONE third of combat rations ­offered to all Aussie troops now has to be halal-certified, despite the Australian Defence Force having fewer than 100 Muslims.

The orders that four of the 12 battle meal menu options offered to soldiers in the field need to be halal were approved by the Deputy Chief of Army Major General Rick Burr.

Under the new changes, ration packs should also contain kosher and vegetarian meals to help combat “menu fatigue”.

But the decision to include halal food has outraged many of the ADF’s almost 60,000 fulltime members and veterans who question how many millions of dollars of taxpayers’ money will now be handed over to unregulated halal certifiers — who are already the subject of a federal government inquiry.

Senator Cory Bernardi, who was a member of the senate inquiry that looked into halal certification, said the order “demonstrates just how our military has been captured by minority interests and appears to have suspended the application of common sense”.

“Our military should be defending our way of life, on and off the battlefield. Decisions like this suggest it has become more an instrument of supporting minority interests rather than being focused on the national interest,” he said.

Documents obtained under Freedom of Information show that ADF combat ration packs should contain a variety of menus including vegetarian, halal and kosher “to meet ADF’s commitment to providing an inclusive working ­environment.”

Former Army intelligence officer Bernie Gaynor, the Australian Liberty Alliance Senate candidate for Queensland, said: “Australia is not an Islamic country and our soldiers, sailors and airmen and women deserve better from the government and the politically-correct top brass.”

It follows the controversial decision last year by the Army to remove the motto “In this sign conque...because the phrase is associated with the Crusades — and that could be deemed offensive to Muslims.

The small minority of Muslims in Australia and all the rorts attributed to them. Local council criminality, schools taking millions from the taxpayer to spend on who knows and the halal money they get millions from by indirectly taxing food. The middle Eastern crime gangs and families that a whole task force is needed to even scratch the surface, the shootings, the terrorism acts here, it's a nightmare. 

There is not another minority like it. Yet say anything about it and they fall  into line with the made up word islamaphobia and all other racist bigoted remarks. What? nobody is allowed to comment on it, even the media tip toe around it.

Then we get the Obama factor, equating islamic terrorism with the ancient and no longer practiced bible passages.

Its a strange world now, after 9/11 we have to fear flying and now the human bombs using children.

I do not know how old are you.  Maybe you haven't been here all that long and have no idea about history, or you are forgetting.  There were the Italian and Greek social security scams, Asian drug gangs.  And the racists had a field day.  But the fact are that per capita criminality for people who were not born here the Kiwis and Poms are winning by far.   But most crimes are committed by Ausies.  As for being afraid to fly now, you must be joking, flying is now safer than any time is the history of civil aviation.

We didn't adopt their food preferences in the ration packs of Defence personnel.

What food preferences?  They are not getting Middle Eastern cuisine!!!  They are probably getting Vegemite, which just happens to be Halal certified, as are so many other items on our supermarket shelves.  All these items are exactly the same as they were before they were certified.  LOL    It's another non story, that these sort of gutter press sites pump out.
