Herbie's trying his hand at comedy this morning (already been out for his morning troll).
Accusing others of being "slow learners", and then posting a link to, wait for it ...
The Pickering Post.
I certainly had a bit of chuckle.
Anyway, if you honestly believe that Halal certification funds terrorism, stop buying Hala food.
The choice is yours.
Absolute crap! There is no choice as far as Muslims are concerned, that is the problem nitwit.
Why is it a problem if Muslims want to follow Islamic teachings?
Do you have a problem with Catholics who chose not to eat meat on Fridays in Lent?

If all the smacking producers and retailers decide that they must be Halal certified, what bloody choice do non Muslims have?
Not all producers and retailers have decided that they must be Halal certified. Only those that see a commercial advantage in it.
Why is this a problem for you?

If Muslims want Halal, they should open their own shops; they should have their own abattoirs.
I am sure many have.
But why do you want other food producers to limit their profits by missing out on a significant market?
Are you a Communist?

This is not an Islamic country, we should not have our choices restricted by bombastic twats who demand companies be Halal or they will restrict their export markets.
Your choices are not restricted. You are free to not buy halal products if Moslems frighten you so much.
Just as companies are free to choose to seek a market advantage for their products if they wish.
Why do you want to dictate to companies who they can sell their products to?

Why do western companies have to pay a fee to build mosques and Islamic schools?
Western companies don't have to pay a fee to build mosques and Islamic schools. The have to pay a fee to have their products halal certified. Just as they have to pay a fee to have their products kosher certified. Or to receive a tick from the Heart Foundation. And they do this because there is an economic benefit in expanding their market.
If Muslim's frighten you so much. Don't buy halal certified products.
Pretty simple
Personally - I am frightened by Andrew Bolt. So I won't buy anything advertised on Channel 10. That is my choice.
I refuse to pay the "Andrew Bolt Tax" that companies that advertise during his show have to pay for TV time, and may presumably pass on to their customers via product pricing.
