ufo, if you want a heated discussion - respond to my post about graven images.

I don't make any graven images.

Probably not MAKE any, but I bet you have some in your house that you kneel before / bow down to. If not in your house then there are plenty in every Catholic Church {insert most Protestant churches here too}, and plenty of people that kneel before them or bow down to them or cross themselves in front of them. 

I studied with the Mormons once. Was going along fine until they got out a photo of Joseph Smith and asked me to kneel in front of it and pray.

I don't have any images in my house.  I follow the writings of the Bible I don't need a Priest, a Church, images or the Pope to make me believe the Bible.

---

in that case, congratulations.

I find myself bowed down and kneeling before a graven image of the $'s on the accounts I receive.  Then I pray to Heaven that I can get back up again.

i think you're over thinking the whole thing.

every christian  church or muslim place of worship

or jewish or buddhist has some kind of religious symbol.

it does not automatically mean the symbols are being

worshipped whether its a statue a painting or writings.

i think it would be weird to enter a building with absolutely

nothing there.  you might as well not build them at all.

sorry but i think your beliefs are a bit too extreme. puts ppl off.

another group of stupid people?

The iced coffee isn't labelled certified halal is it?

“Our products are produced in factories which are halal certified due to the fact that some of our yoghurts and other fresh dairy products are exported to countries with high Islamic populations,” the company said.

If the factories producing the drink are halal certified that means whatever it produces comes under the umbrella of halal therefore off limits to buy. It will be boycotted!

So, you are happy to destroy Australia's export industry?

If it is halal certified I am happy for the companies to close down, they wont be getting any $$$ from me.

Do you have any idea how this will affect the economy?

I think you are quite free to not give them your money but I object to boycotts like this.

If YOU want to support halal you can do that if you want.

Myself, and thousands of other Aussies want to know which products are certified halal that is why halalchoices.com.au has been set up. We, do not wish to buy halal certified products and we WILL boycott.

Muslims still ate food and drank before this halal certification scheme was invented circa 1980s, before then there was no certification or halal fees. There is nothing in the koran that requires halal certification, this is a modern day invention, and they are imposing it on everyone.

I will boycott halal foods/drinks. I will spend my money on products approved by www.halalchoices.com.au

I will spend my money on products that my family like 

& try to support Australian businesses wherever possible
