I dont know if Halal funds terrorism, but i do know that it funds building more Mosques and Islamic schools.
I do not believe there should be islamic schools in Australia.
I also have concerns about what is being preached about in some mosques as we have seen footage of support for isis and sharia law so i do not support more mosqu building.
The above is my opinion and i will stick with it thanks
but a christian or catholic school is all right?
We are, after all a Christian nation, Grizz. It's what our nation was built on and we must be doing something right, else why would ppl want to spend their life savings and risk life and limb to come here and share in our bounty.
Catholic is Christian, don't you know? Why wouldn't Christian schools be alright?
i don't practise any religion.
i actually try and avoid it.
we are the nation of Australia.
Your prerogative, but you don't represent all of Austraia.

Nothing to do with halal certification.Well it kind of is isn't it?
Big retailers who can afford halal accreditition and whatever else they need to garner the custom of large groups of ppl ,and have the financial backup to be able to withstand public pressure will gradually edge out the smaller operators who actually listen to their customers.
For the spelling police: that was meant to be "public pressure" .

I'm sure they also have a raging debate over whether their Schnitzel and Sacher Torte should be halal.
Although, seeing Schnitzel is traditionally made from pork, maybe not.

Could faintly read that it is the franchise away from the Airport.
It was obviously impacting their business to be halal certified in one or two ways.
1. Sales were down due to public opinion and boycotting the store;
or and I believe it may be more for the following reason
2. The clientele it was attracting were causing major disturbances behaviour-wise and the costs of security were "eating" into the profits.
