Every time you buy groceries from the supermarket it’s most likely you’re paying an Islamic tax to the government of Saudi Arabia.
Today, around 80 per cent of supermarket food produce from Australia’s largest and most iconic brands are Halal Certified. An estimated 500 Australian based food companies pay this Islamic tax which is passed on to you at the checkout.
This tax, masquerading as Halal Certification, is a modern version of an Islamic tax called ‘Jizya’. It was first imposed by Muslims who had conquered non-Muslims, who became subservient to Muslims, but did not wish to convert to Islam.
They paid the tax in order to have their lives spared and were then known as dhimmis. This institution has its roots in the origins of Islam, 1400 years ago.
Halal Certification fees can be viewed as a modern implementation of the Jizya tax on dhimmis via the supermarket shelf.
Most companies are told by Islamic Halal Certifiers, that this is a fee to grow their export markets.
The food producers who are coerced into paying these certification fees, have no clue or real understanding of the history of this Islamic tax or that they are being used as Jizya collectors (few food producers would have heard of the term).
"Australians are a generous lot, but they will not roll over to be treated as dhimmis, milked by a foreign, religious-based government, and used by local producers of household brand names they have trusted and supported for decades."
I'm afraid that, not only will some Australians happily roll over, but will openly support Halal, and call those speaking against it "racists and bigots".

...not nutters running anti campaigns.
You mean like the Left / GREENS who are forever anti this, anti that.
Or as monotonous as Two dads "I shouldn't have been allowed to breed" Hanson.

Icy - the majority of the threads about Abbott/Govt are about his failed policies and back flips ... Not about his choice of swimwear nor his tufts of hair, nor his glasses nor the shape of his suit jacket, nor about his partners whereabouts ( that sounds a bit like ALL those Gillard threads actually doesn't it?).
I can't understand how those that relentlessly started threads about Julia G picking on her personal attributes mostly, now cry when someone occasionally post something personal about Abbott. Oh, what short memories some have.
Why did you post this halal/Pickering article? Looking for a bit of controversy in your threads? Went for an easy target?
I have no intention of checking food for halal labels, nor does the majority of Australians.
You know what, Am? For all your bluff and bluster, it's not your call to dictate to posters what topics they may or may not start threads about. Or how they construct their posts.
And I certainly have not in any way attempted, by this thread, to dictate to anyone whether or not they should buy halal-certified groceries. It's still a free country. So far.
The aim of this thread is simply to raise awareness of where the money raised by this tax is going. You may despise Pickering, but's no reason to dismiss the points raised in this article.

Icy. oh icy
Your forgot that these lefties like to try and control us and everybody else, what we can do, what we can't do,
our thought processes and that we aren't allowed to speak up against any thing that they hold dear because
we will be wrong !

Honest answer required : do you still like/eat cheese and VEGEMITE sandwiches?
Of course. Except I won't be buying VEGEMITE anymore after this jar is finished. I'll be looking for something without the Halal badge.
Thanks for asking.
