I've just had a brilliant idea for all those paranoid concerned about eating halal certified food. If your estimate of the number of Australians who agree with you is correct then this could open up a whole new career for you and make you very rich.
Why not set up your very own haram cetification board. Producers could pay to have their products certified unfit for consumption by Muslims. For this fee your inspectors would certify that all cattle, sheep, chickens etc. are dead for at least two hours before being processed dairy foods could have a miniscule amount of pork fat added to them and all certified potato chips. and nachos would be bacon flavoured. A neat little label - maybe a pigs head on a stick - would then be affixed to each product.
Naturally these products would cost a bit more,and some Jewish people might be upset to discover they could no longer eat their favourite brand of chocolate, but hey, what's a little collateral damage when you are on a crusade and think of the peace of mind you will get from knowing no Muslim lips will ever profane your barbecue steaks, ice cream or nibblies
