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.

If you check that signage with Hungry Jacks, you will find that it is over 2 years old and Hungry Jacks have never been halal certified. (according to Hungry Jacks)

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.
. Nor do you, with the claim Australia is a Christian country. Australia is secular.
I don't claim to represent all of Australia, But while we are a secular nation in that our laws aren't governed by religion, Australia's official religion is Christian.
That may well change over the next 20 years.

Is it implied that the certificate is not genuine?
A false home-printed Certificate that nobody questions the authenticity?
Similar to, perhaps, a Certificate of an Organic Grower at the markets?

What difference does it make how old the sign is, or whether HJ's has previously been halal or not?

The implication is that it is not genuine.

Which version of Christian would that be?
When I was young Church of England was the dominant religion. Catholics and Protestants were encouraged to no mix with each other.
Many a young person had their hearts broken because the families would not allow inter religion marriages.

It makes a difference if the Halal certification was a forged document.
It makes a difference if Hungry Jacks has been misrepresented. They say they have never been halal certified.
Me, I don't know................ I guess we have to believe them, don't we?
The sign is wrong, they do sell halal items.

I was brought up the same way as you Glee, My parents were just shocked when my brother marred a Catholic girl, He had to convert of course. In Melb even some football teams were either Protestant or Catholic, Dad tells me stories of the rivalry between Collingwood and Richmond, apparently it ran much deeper than just a football game
