  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

In general, lamb (and all game) needs spices/herbs like cinnamon, cumin, rosemary, dill, etc. to remove the gaminess. (Even though the Hebrews knew how to make lamb, it was a point to hit home when God told the Hebrews to get lamb and bitter herbs and eat them...salting the herbs in water. It would take care of the gaminess.) Both of you are right, obviously. Just different sides of the coin.

If you make goat or a lamb without these type of spices, no matter how good of a chef you are it will have a "funk" taste - that is the gaminess. Some people like that. I knew someone that said they liked goat meat cooked as is, and as old as cotton. YUCK!

I usually use a cinnamin, cumin and dill rub for my lamb or game. Mustard crusts work nicely for lamb chops :).

yes, but lamb is also greasy.. spices help, but I like to use salted lemons, or juniper, or tamarind or similar to cut the fat.

Anyway my point was, Halal in the UK frequently IS stunned, and there is no reason why it can't be, unlike for Kosher. Therefore, even as an atheist, I have no problem with the idea of Halal meat so long as I know a little bit more as well.

BDS boycotts Israeli products and services. If BDS can boycott Israeli products and services then there should not be a problem with boycotting halal certified products.

While it is logical to boycott the Product of a Nation

What is the logic for boycotting the product of a religion as it financially is not going to affect the religion.

"Islam" does not make any money off of halal products. Non-Muslims for the most part are the ones making a profit by selling Halal products.

Could you show evidence that any halal product in the USA is generating funds for terrorists?

Do you really know how closely the US government monitors every organization that even looks Islamic in the USA.

Most Muslims in the USA can't even sneeze without homeland security knowing about it.

The Terrorists and those who support terrorism are not openly Muslim. they usually don't even associate with those of us who are openly Muslim. The majority of Muslims are not even considered to be Muslims by the Terrorist. A Muslim is the person most likely to be killed by an "Islamic Terrorist' WE ARE NOT ABOUT TO SUPPORT SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO KILL US.

Many people seem to be under the impression there is some sort of "Islamic Organization" that oversees all Muslims and make money from Mosques. We don't tithe. We do pay Zakat, but we give that to any Charity of our choosing. Here in the USA most of us give our Zakat to local Charities.

Look, and they're even bragging about it! This is irrefutable proof that Robert Spencer is right about everything!

PS don't forget about Justin Bieber.

islamists are the ones trying to influence the banks. You accuse me of being brainwashed but you use al jazeera as a source.

No, Muslims are trying to establish their own banks which are shariah compliant. What is your problem with that exactly? That they don't charge interest?

Your hate-site is telling people not to sell their homes to Muslims and you wonder why SPLC considers them a hate group? In the US we have something called the Fair Housing Act which prohibits that kind of behavior. This website is promoting illegal and discriminatory behavior.

They are no better than those who refused to sell houses to black people in the '70's.

That is true. We are not permitted to pay interest on a loan. We are not able to use conventional banks for loans. However many non-Islamic banks are figuring out how to do La Riba (La Riba is Arabic for No Interest) loans and many non-Islamic Banks are beginning to offer La Riba loans.

Former President Carter was on Steve Colbert show the other night talking about how Habitat for Humanity makes interest-free loans because "the Bible says you shouldn't charge interest to poor people."

Halal certified products might be used to fund islamic imperialism, islamic colonization and islamic occupation like the indonesian occupation of West Papua.

There is no evidence that is being done. If any agency in the US is charging money for Halal certification, you can be certain the IRS and Homeland security will keep very close tabs on what they use every penny for.

Is there any evidence any Halal agency has funded any occupation or imperialism?

Is there even any evidence any of them have actually made any money?


Campbells soups are Halal certified through IFANCA not ISNA like the "Fear Mongers" are saying.

Extraordinary, Authentic Nourishment for All®

Campbell Canada is committed to providing foods that meet the diverse dietary needs of all Canadians – whether it means gluten-free products, reduced sodium choices or in this case, Halal Certified soups and broths.

All our Halal products are certified by IFANCA® – Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America – a non-profit organization that certifies halal food products in over 50 countries around the world.

Can you imagine the Hoops an Islamic Charity, in the Americas, has to jump through to prove they are not funding Terrorists? If anyone plans to fund terrorists it is not very smart to even claim to be Muslim.

If an agency is going to be openly Muslim in the USA, they best be certain they do everything in full accordance with the laws.

The Fact a person in the USA is a Muslim is almost certain they will be under a government microscope.

Any group funding terrorists is going to deny being Muslim and will use a front that appears to be anti-Muslim and All American.

I do not really care who certifies what halal. As long as a product is certified halal I do not buy it because it might fund not just islamic terrorism but also islamic imperialism, islamic colonization, islamic occupation, islamization of countries through islamists taking over the banks and media and islamists using islamist lobbies...

Does buying Kosher certified food support Israel?

You might have religious reasons to not want Halal food.That is understandable. But to think buying Halal food is going to support islamic imperialism, islamic colonization, islamic occupation, islamization of countries through islamists taking over the banks and media and islamists using islamist lobbies.

Borders on ridiculous. That is like saying buying sauerkraut is going to support neo-Nazis.
