They are changing our sweets now!

Just been to asda to get some treats for my son. When I look at ALL the HARIBO sweets they all had HALAL printed on them. Needless to say I didnt buy any harribo sweets.
I dont want my child eating sweets with a dodgy halal sign on it. It might brainwash him into associating all halal things are good.
What anoys me is once again there was no alternative for non-muslims, just pandering to them again

Come to think of it Burnley College is bad for this. When I went there the only meat i would eat was bacon and sausage there. All the rest was halal!
I mean seriously if i dont follow or agree with that religion, why should I be forced to eat halal meat pies?

Vote with your wallets. Do NOT buy any halal food, if you want a takeaway ask if it is Halal FIRST, if it is then do not buy it.
Write to these places and ask why there are not non halal options for non muslims who disagree with halal slaughter purposes.
It is good that people bring these topics to the attentions of others but we also need to challenge the instigators of them. Those that rely on our money will soon change if they lose our custom. Those that are subsidised by taxpayers have to answer our concerns too.
If in doubt stick to pork products and if possible try to buy British pork products. Change the way you look at the things that you buy, support british produce and non halal foods.

Well said mate. I try to, even though the muslims seem to have 99% of the takeaways around here, and all the chippys seem to be going. Think its going to be chinese for me now, either that or i learn to cook :blink:

God knows. All i know is halal meat is more expensive because they have to make sure the animal suffers when they kill it and have some1 say a prair/ curse(depends how you view it) on it.
I think with the sweets though any animal products in them (if there is any) they have to have been killed their way.
Im thinking of complaining to Haribo and Asda to let them know i will be bouycotting them

Halal meat is disgusting and something I personally disagree with. I'm English and therefore its in my character to be an animal lover - as Britain is claimed to be a animal loving nation.

It makes me sick the thought of little kiddies in schools eating that dirty meat, no animal deserves to be killed cruelly, if at all! (although I am a hypocrite on that, I went vegetarian for a long time but gave in too a big mac). :-/

food marked halal doesn't neccesarily have anything to do with slaughtering. In the case of the haribo sweets it probably just means that they are not made with pig- or horse- based gelatin as are a number of gummy sweets. many things are unintenionally halal, just by virtue of happening not to offend the muslim dietary code. this was probably the case with haribo. they were probably halal all along, they just didn't point it out. they probably didn't know themselves until they looked it up. now they're just making it clear so that they don't lose business from muslims who aren't sure if there's pig products in it. i think it's a bit silly to boycott them or complain to them over that.

Why is it silly to boycott a product that is going out of its way to appeal to muslims? It is all part of the islamification of our country.
I don't let my kids eat crap like haribo anyway though :)

Because it's the nature of business to sell as much s**t as possible, they don't give a f**k who to. That's Capitalism buddy, not Islamification.

Halal on everything is just another way of pleasing muslim more, I love my non halal peters sausages and pies from my traditional chip shop.
It not the food you enjoy the most it is the tradition and halal is not tradition.
If the Goverment had listened to the British and white working class concern about Islam in British and White working class communities than maybe the EDL would not of formed. All we want is a voice to express our opinions without being regarded a "racist" or "islamaphobe" but then again the goverment depends on devision in poor communities.

Islam is not a race. However there may be a genetic predispostion to believing this shi'ite. Muslims have been marrying their cousins for generations. It's a well documented fact that inbreeding produces both physical and mental degeneracy.

So as I said before, it's a classic chicken and egg situation:
Islam predisposes to idiocy, and idiocy predisposes to Islam.

What concerns me more is the way animals are slaughtered for halal.

There are already "accomodations" under british law to allow "Religious Slaughter"

A animal can be hoisted up alive often breaking or dislocating bones on a heavier animal with no sedation or humane stunning, then have its throat cut and left to bleed out in full sight and sound of other animals awaiting the same treatment.

Jews kill animals in the exact same way as Muslims. The Halal symbol and K symbol stand for the same things. Suitable for Jews and Muslims.

Not quite, but the basics are the same.


Going to state flat out here that I don't have a problem with halal. The only properly scientific study done on it showed that when done properly it's painless, in contrast to a lot of more conventional slaughtering methods. Obviously that only covers when it's done properly, and not everyone is so careful. A lot of the objection to it has been based on the fact that it doesn't 'look pretty' so people assume it must necessarily be painful. You can see in the statements from the RSCPA et al that they're really just making assumptions: "how can it not be painful? etc." But a study done using EEG proved otherwise. Obviously the current stance of the EDL is to oppose halal, and I accept that that's the case, but I'd like folks to change their minds.

Caring about the welfare of animals is obviously central to Britishness, and that's something we must stand up for if we're claiming to stand up for British values, but I don't think halal is a threat to that.

FreedomFry is right. No use objecting to halal if you approve of kosher dietary laws.

The Jailhouselawyer’s Blog carries news that Inside Time, a monthly magazine distributed free to prisoners in the UK, has recalled 50,000 copies of its latest issue because of fears that a humorous article on swine flu and an accompanying cartoon could be offensive to Muslim inmates.

The column by Andy Thackwray, a prisoner at HMP Hull, was entitled “Porky’s Revenge“. It hypothesised th More..at swine flu was the result of a failed plot by Osama Bin Laden “eradicate every pig in Christendom”:

Yes, not too long ago in a cave somewhere in deepest Afghanistan, our bearded foe created his halal flu virus to totally wipe out the pigs of the Western world, and hopefully see the end of pork as we know it. Only trouble was, the young terrorist Bin Laden hand-picked to fly across the Atlantic to carry out the wicked deed was not only a goat short of a full flock, he’d also never ventured out of his village before. So, with geography not being one of his strong points, coupled with his poor command of the English language, it’s not surprising that he got off the plane one stop early thinking he was in Kansas, America when really he was in Cancun, Mexico. There, he set the Bin Laden flu virus free on a Mexican pig farm instead of on an American one as planned – what a knob!

The article was accompanied by a cartoon of a bearded, turbanned pig standing on its hind legs and sneezing.

John Roberts, Operations Director and Company Secretary at Inside Time, was contacted by Diversity at Wormwood Scrubs and informed that the article and cartoon “might be offensive to Muslims”. Consequently, all 50,000 copies of the magazine have been withdrawn and will be reprinted without the offending pieces. Apparently this will cost the charity which runs Inside Time £15-20,000.

The Jailhouselawer also reports that the Mr Thackwray has been charged with a Disciplinary Offence, put in the Segregation Unit, and will be transferred out of HMP Hull.
