Why would you be eating halal if you aren't a Muslim in the first place? I don't eat kosher or halal. The food cost more. And personally I don't know any Islamist businesses. I suppose you can boycott those bookstores calling Ataturk a Jew if you like. I once bought some halal goat when I invited a bunch of Muslim students to my house to break the Ramadan fast. I special ordered it from a butcher's stall run by an Arab in the outdoor market in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Aside from eating at Mughalai restaurants in India, that's probably the only occasion when I've eaten halal. Except of course, for foods which are halal by definition as Woodrow says.

What I meant was products that are certified halal.

JOY TO THE MUSLIM WORLD! Cadbury expands its line of ‘Halal (Islam-approved) Certified’ products, now for the Christmas holidays, too | BARE NAKED ISLAM

For example I would boycott Cadbury halal products. I ate some of those Cadbury halal products in the past but now I am boycotting them. I usually boycott kebab shops owned by islamists but I do not eat kebabs much anyway so it does not matter. I did buy kebabs from a kebab shop before once but I stopped after I realized that the kebab meat is halal.

If you don't want to eat their Easter bunnies that's fine. I'm sure Muslims didn't appreciate halal being stamped on Easter bunnies either.

And how do you know they are Islamist and not merely Muslims. Did you discuss politics with them?

That's okay. I'll be happy to eat all your lamb kebab for you.

Seriously, Muslims make their meat halal so they can eat it, not to feed it to you. They couldn't care less if you want to eat cockroaches.

Halal non-meat product need not be produced, distributed or sold by Muslims. I doubt if there are even any Muslims working for Cadburys.

A lot of food certified Halal is not produced by Muslims. The Halal verification simply guarantees it does not have any haram components in it.

If wn123455 had a garden and sold his vegetables at a Produce market, as long as he did not add anything to them he could certify it as Halal

This is an important detail I forgot. When I was in LA, they have Halal and Kosher stores, with "Halal," "glaat," and so on stamped. If you ask the butcher or manager where it came from, a lot of times they will explain that they got it from a vender that does non-kosher/Halal products, but they make sure they do a final check to make sure it is right. Some of the venders have separate areas for those specific stores.

If I made a pig lick vegetables would the vegetables still be considered halal?

Oh, I don't doubt that they are. Most of Cadbury's chocolate is produced in India these days.

So, how is Cabury chocolates "Islamist" or whatever word you use to talk about them trying to over the world? (Narf!)

Yes, as most of us wash or peel our vegetables. The pig Saliva would be haram and we are not permitted to eat it. However, the fruit is still halal.

Contrary to popular believe we can touch a pig if need be. We just can't eat or kiss them

How does buying Halal food support Terrorism, Nobody makes any money off of Halal certification. Except the seller might get additional customers.

In the US there is no central agency for Halal certification that anybody pays a fee to.

In the UK I understand some Agencies charge a fee for certification, but there is no need to. The producer can go to a local Imam and have him write a letter stating the product is halal (they are not supposed to charge for doing so as it is a service for Muslims) and the producer can just incorporate the word halal on his label. Keeping the Imam's letter as proof if ever asked.

If the company is owned by a Muslim he can put on his label he is Muslim and give his word his product is Halal. If a Muslim tells us a product he makes is Halal we accept his word for it.

All of this is already provided for Jews with Kosher food.

Pam Geller gets upset too easily. do you hear any Muslims starting web sites complaining about Kosher food?

But that does not answer the Question I asked:

How does buying halal food support Terrorism?

You have been eating halal food your entire life, does that mean you supported Terrorism?

How many of you boycott Jewish products / companies / brands??

Jewish owned companies

The islamists on ummah forums boycott Marks and Spencer but I boycott Marks and Spencer for reasons that are different.

You have a choice where you buy your electricity?
Of course. Even though four huge companies had practically divided the German market among themselves and held a virtual monopoly in their respective regions, state support for renewables has given small players a chance at gaining a tentative foothold - especially after Germany decided to put an end to nuclear energy due to popular consent that the risks (and the globally unsolved question of where to put the dangerous waste products) attached to that technology were untenable. (As an aside, nuclear power plants were also a first example of the sheer madness of "private public partnerships": all the profits from such power plants went directly into the pockets of private investors, while all the costs attached to managing the waste and so forth had to be borne by the community of tax payers. Also, nuclear corporations received huge subsidies out of public funds, making the notion of "cheap nuclear energy" a persistent myth that only served the interests of the four major companies.)

Right now, our government has apparently caved in to the pressure of the Great Four's lobbyists, cutting down on renewable energy, exempting corporations from the costs attached to the paradigm shift and thus rendering it highly unpopular with the populace, etc.

If some people can boycott Israeli products and services because they think Israeli products and services contribute to the oppression of palestinians then I have the right to boycott halal goods because it contributes islamic terrorism, the muslim majority countries oppression of non-muslim minorities, the indonesian oppression of West Papuans etc...

I have seen evidence of people beginning to boycott halal foods. People need to be informed.

You do that. As WoodrowX suggested earlier, it is pretty easy.

Limit your diet to beer, wine, pork, and carrion. These are definitely not halal. Unfortunately, almost every other form of nutrition is.

I won't join you in your boycott, but please feel free to share how it is going. Good luck, you will need a lot of it.
