Halal Certificates are Bid‘ah, Zulm, and Shirk – worse than sins!
Halal certificates are Bid‘ah, Zulm, and Shirk
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيمييم
1. HALAL CERTIFICATES ARE BID’AH – a new & reproachable innovation – Worse than sins!
2. IMPOSING HALAL CERTIFICATES ON PEOPLE IS ZULM (injustice)
3. HALAL AUTHORITIES HAVE SEIZED POWER THAT BELONGS TO ALLAH ALONE WHICH IS SHIRK (polytheism)
CONCLUSION – What should devout Muslims do?
1. HALAL CERTIFICATES ARE BID’AH – a new & reproachable innovation – Worse than sins!
(1) Halal certificate is nothing, but an imitation of Kosher certificate
(2) In Islam there is no priesthood or religious institution to “officially” authorise the doctrine
(3) There is no mandate in the Qur’an for issuing Halal certificates, for exports, or any other purpose and issuing Halal certificates was never included in the Ahkam Sultaniyyah.
(4) No Government is obliged to issue or condone the issue of Halal Certificates… and any Government that has legitimated Halal Certificates, has no Islamic political authority at all.
2. IMPOSING HALAL CERTIFICATES ON PEOPLE IS ZULM (injustice),
especially in case of being accompanied with demanding money for issuing it and preventing free trade between people by banning them from being able to declare their own things as Halal.(1) Every Muslim can sell his own properties without need of getting permission from any person or organisation as far as it is lawful. So preventing such sales or imposing permission is a Zulm, injustice.
(2) As for the slaughtered meat, only its slaughterer is qualified to say whether it is properly slaughtered or not, none else, on the condition that he has the knowledge of Islamic rules of slaughter.
(3) Unless one is with the slaughterer, observing how to slaughter throughout the whole process in all the cases, his certificate can not accepted as the Islamic lawful testimony. As the late Shaikh Ibn Uthaimin said.
(4) It is impossible to certify that meat is Halal, because the conditions of the Halal of the meat are innumerable, not limited to the way of slaughter but how to get the animal, how to get the money by which he bought the animal, whether the slaughter is a true Muslim and so on. There are too many variables. The only thing we can do is to judge it as Haram in case of finding the violation of any of them. As the late Shaikh Ibn Uthaimin said.
(5) Fact: an owner of Muslim restaurant imported chicken marked Halal of Sadia & made Gyoza (Chinese dumplings) intending to sell them with her own made Halal mark; but she was stopped & told that she was not authorised to stamp a Halal mark on her own Gyoza. Instead she should buy a Halal certificate by the authorised institution. This case clearly shows how Halal certificates are a violation of Islamic freedom of trade, thus Zulm.
3. HALAL AUTHORITIES HAVE SEIZED POWER THAT BELONGS TO ALLAH ALONE WHICH IS SHIRK (polytheism)
No one or no institution can authorise things as Halal officially to impose their judgement upon Muslims. These self-appointed ‘Halal Authorities’ are telling people what is halal and thereby violating the people’s right before Allah to decide for themselves – so these Halal Heads are usurping the prerogative of Allah, the Sole Legislator which is Shirk (polytheism)
Halal is what Allah makes it Halal in Qur`an, i.e., it is the prerogative of Allah to decide what is Halal.
Allah only names some general categories as Halal and trusts people to decide by themselves whether individual concrete things which they deal with are Halal or not. Thus declaring Halal on the individual things of the people, not general categories, is not only the violation on the right of the people but also the usurpation of the prerogative of Allah, the Sole Legislator, i.e., Shirk (polytheism).
(1) No one or no institution can authorise things as Halal officially to impose their judgement upon Muslims. Neither should any anti-Islamic organisation be trusted to issue Halal certificates.
(2) To entrust the state or its subdivision to decide Halal and Haram and impose its decision officially is nothing but idolatry. Only natural person can submit to Allah according to Shari‘ah and decide for themselves what is halal or haram.
(3) Shari‘ah prescribes the rules which is related only to the men of authority, Uliy Al-Amr, Ahkam Sultaniyyah, as collective responsibility, Fardh Kifayah, as it prescribes rules for ordinary men as individual responsibility, Fardh ‘Ain. We can entrust only Ahkam Sultaniyyah to the rulers to carry out them for us with supervising them in their exclusions, but the rest of the Shari‘ah is what we must undertake by ourselves.
(4) Issuing Halal certification is not under the category of Ahkam Sultaniyyah which is a job of the Uliy Al-Amr as the establishing Islamic Bank is not under the category of Ahkam Sultaniyyah which is a job of the Uliy Al-Amr. Concerning the slaughtered meet, the Prophetic Sunnah clarifies that we should not inspect how it was gained, so we had better to follow the Prophetic Sunnah. As the late Shaikh Uthaimin said.
NOT ONE SINGLE VERSE OR HADITH CALLS TO INVOKING ANY BEING EXCEPT ALLAH
CONCLUSION – What should devout Muslims do?
1. Muslims should struggle to prevent the Bid‘ah, Zulm and Shirk of Halal Certificate.
2. Mosques should provide the Muslims with the true knowledge of Halal and Haram of the food with difference of opinion of the reliable scholars, which includes rules concerning the food which was brought by unknown way.
3. All those who are provided with such knowledge are qualified to judge what they slaughter by themselves as properly slaughtered and allowed to eat for themselves and as well as for others and say that he slaughtered properly. But whether it is Halal or not can not be judged because other elements such as lawfulness of the gain of the animal and the money besides slaughter are also to be taken into consideration for Halal judgment.
4. As for the food, we had better not to inspect at all with trusting Muslim society by following the Prophetic Sunnah, in Islamic standpoint of view.
5. If the certificate is issued, it should show only the ingredients without using term Halal as any other certificates issued for commercial, sanitary and medical purpose.
6. If the certificate is to be issued in Islamic point of view, it should be a Haram certificate, on the condition that the criteria of Haram should be mentioned in detail enumerating all the opinions of Islamic law schools as well as it should be clearly mentioned that it is not official, not binding on any Muslim .

HALAL CERTIFICATES ARE BID’AH – a new innovation – Worse than sins!
There is still no agreed ‘authentic’ halal standard globally – There are many Islamic sects and there is no agreement between them all about what the halal standard should be!
So it is not surprising that out of 57 OIC member countries, less than five have Halal Certification Authorities according to the IHI!

… Quote:
The Concept of Bid’ah in Islam in the Light of the Qur’an and Sunnah
“Bid’ah” is Haram and considered as heresy, it is an innovation in Islam, it is the invention, creation or addition of any religious matter which was not (originally) found in Islam. Therefore, Islam warns against it and invalidates any religious deed which does not originate from the Quran and the Sunnah. Muhammad says in this respect:
“He who innovates something that is not in agreement with our matter (religion), will have it rejected.”
SO… MUSLIMS BETTER REJECT HALAL CERTIFICATES TOO!
We are Boycotting anything halal certified.
BRAZIL ROTTEN (HARAM) MEAT EXPORTS SCANDAL
Brazil meat-packing giants ‘exported rotten beef’
HARAM MEAT has been dedicated to Allah and ritually slaughtered – but REJECTED by the Muslim Inspector as being “Unfit For Muslim Consumption” at the Post Slaughter Inspection.
Operation Weak Flesh was launched in the early hours of Friday in six Brazilian states after a two-year investigation. Federal police carried out raids in 194 locations, deploying more than 1,000 officers.
The authorities in Brazil suspended 33 government officials amid allegations that some of the country’s biggest meat processors have been selling rotten beef and poultry for years.
Three meat processing plants have also been closed and another 21 are under scrutiny.
QUOTE: ‘Selling rotten beef and poultry for years’
Much of the meat produced by the companies accused is exported to Europe and other parts of the world.
Brazil is the world’s largest red meat exporter.
China and Hong Kong, which together are the biggest export market for Brazilian meat, were the destination for about a third of the $5.5 billion of beef shipped from Latin America’s largest economy last year, according to the meat exporters group Abiec.
The European Union is the second-largest market, with 13 percent of the exports.
China and Hong Kong are also the biggest Brazilian market for chicken, while the European Union ranks third, according to the Brazilian Association of Animal Protein Abpa
Police allege three BRF cargoes tainted with salmonella are still en route to Europe.
The U.S. bought $297.8 million of red meat from Brazil in 2016, according to government data.
Much of the meat produced by the companies accused is exported to Europe and other parts of the world.
Police investigators accuse more than 30 companies of a number of unhygienic practices.
Among them are JBS, the world’s largest beef exporter, and BRF, the world’s top poultry producer.
Investigations over the past two years, are still ongoing
The investigators allege that some managers bribed health inspectors and politicians to get government certificates for their products. They accuse more than 30 companies of a number of unhygienic practices. Among them are JBS, the world’s largest beef exporter, and BRF, the world’s top poultry producer.
Brazilian federal police said they have evidence of at least 40 incidents.

Explanations Sought
The European Committee for Health and Food Safety is aware of the investigation and is seeking additional information, according to an emailed statement Sunday. China and the U.S. have also requested explanations, O Estado de S. Paulo newspaper reported, without saying how it obtained the information.
Clearly the Brazilian government must be worried that the US, China and the EU may ban meat imports from Brazil, worth $12bn (£9.7bn) a year.
Brazil tainted meat probe widens as trade partners study impact
Global Investigation Needed Into The Halal Industry
This Brazilian investigation into the Rotten Meat – the Substandard meat – the Halal Rejects – should be happening worldwide – in every single country that is producing halal meat.
The Name of this Rotten Meat is THE HARAM… but they cannot use that word or no one would buy it – so it is sold off cheap as Non-Halal!
SEE THIS EXAMPLE!
This so-called ‘NON-HALAL’ meat is destined for Sargents Pies.
Honestly… what Conventional Abattoir would label their meat ‘Non-Halal’?
We know from one of our Members who took these photographs, that this meat was from a Halal Slaughterhouse… from the Haram Warehouse.
The Rejected Halal meat will never be sold as Haram – or no one would buy it!
Honestly… What conventional abattoir would label their Beef ‘Non-halal’?
How the Halal becomes Haram
According to Sharia Law this meat, from the halal slaughterhouse, cannot be called Halal, despite the fact that the animal it’s from would have been prayed over, turned to face Mecca and Ritually Slaughtered – with a Reversible Stun Or No Stun at all.
The difference is, that the Muslim Inspector REJECTS this meat, often at the Post-Slaughter Inspection and pronounces it HARAM or “Unfit For Muslim Consumption” and the carcass is immediately Separated and put in the Haram warehouse.
Just to clarify again what happens… at every Halal Slaughterhouse there are TWO warehouses where meat is stored – One for the Halal & One for the Haram – the Haram is the Rejected Downgraded meat. This meat is sold off cheap to the Big Buyers who sell it off UNLABELLED to us – and we unwittingly buy it thinking it is conventional meat – WHICH IT IS NOT – It is the Ritually Slaughtered Haram!.
See for example, the Government endorsement of the Rejected Substandard Halal on this Official Document which is used in ALL Australian HALAL Slaughterhouses – they call it downgraded here.
See the Government endorsement of the Rejected Substandard Halal on this Official Document which is used in ALL Australian HALAL Slaughterhouses – they call it downgraded here.
No note is made of WHY the halal meat is rejected at halal slaughterhouses – so it could be anything from some innocuous ‘blemish’ that is only seen after the carcass is cut open, or maybe there was an accidental spillage of stomach contents (which is NOT allowed to be washed off) OR even worse on cutting open the animal, it may have dodgy lungs or thought to be diseased!
The Rejected Halal meat will never be sold as Haram – or no one would buy it!
This Outrageous sale of the discarded meat from the halal industry slaughterhouses needs Full Investigation and Must be stopped.
That is aside from the investigations needed concerning the HUGE Money Making Racket called Halal Certification…
AND aside from the Shocking Halal Torture Slaughter that is happening in all Halal Slaughterhouses – whether after the Cruel Reversible Stun outrage, or when animals are slaughtered and left to bleed out for minutes after No Stun at all – all in the Name of an outdated 7th Century Religion.
Many Good people fought against animal cruelty in slaughterhouses for years…and they won the battle…. but now we are seeing a rise of a much worse slaughtering method than we ever had.
Why are we tolerating 7th Century cruel conscious ritual slaughter methods when 21st Century humane methods are available?
ALWAYS CHECK THE SOURCE OF WHAT MEAT YOU BUY
Ensure you KNOW how the animal has been slaughtered and where… because a butcher can truthfully say that Haram discarded meat is NOT halal…. and they will! Some have even rubbed a pork chop over the meat and said… “There, it cannot be halal now!” with a smile… but this is no laughing matter.
Absolutely disgusting practices are now going on that would never have been tolerated in the past, but a blind eye is turned, because we are dealing with the Halal Industry.
This outrage of foisting the downgraded Haram Meat mainstream and towards exports is happening worldwide… to save waste and to keep down costs.
Brazilian ‘Rotten Meat’ was not only exported – it was sold mainstream in Brazil to schools, Wal-Mart and to unsuspecting shoppers and consumers.
Clearly this Torture Slaughter halal meat is often tough as old boots and inedible and those facts are covered up when it is boiled for hours to make a curry… but we in the West like to eat rare steaks and roasted joints of meat… so this sub-standard meat has to have added tenderisers to make it edible… but even worse has been revealed by the Brazilian Investigations…

Brazil’s Latest Scandal: Bribes, Acid and Tainted Meat Sales
BOYCOTT ALL HALAL RITUALLY SLAUGHTERED MEAT – INCLUDING THE HARAM.
Buy Local if you can… Support Your Local Farmers!
Ensure you KNOW how the animal has been slaughtered and where… because a butcher can truthfully say that Haram discarded meat is NOT halal…. and they will!
Don’t just ask “Is this meat halal?” or “Is this Non-halal Meat?”
ALWAYS ASK DEEPER SPECIFIC QUESTIONS…
1. Do you ever source your meat or poultry from suppliers that may allow prayers to be said over the livestock?
2. Do you ever source meat or poultry from suppliers that may employ halal slaughtering techniques?
3. Do you ever source your meat or poultry from suppliers that may use the ‘recoverable stun’ method of slaughter?
4. Will you divulge the name & details of any companies that you source your meat from please?
AND if you are in the EU…
ASK: Will you divulge the EU Meat Codes of your suppliers? – this will be written on the carcass & delivery notes/invoices.
In UK – Put those Meat Codes that are written on meat carcasses & on all packaged meat into the ‘Where’s This From?’ App to find out the Name of the Slaughterhouse &/or Cutting Plant…
then further research will be needed by doing a Google search &/or contacting the company, to find out if they use halal techniques using the sort of questions listed above.
Please don’t just ignore this issue – Contact your politicians and those in positions of power.
Contact the Press & Media and Demand a Full Investigation!
Noticeably there has been No mention at all that this Rotten Meat is the Haram, but as all the Brazilian companies involved are suppliers of Halal Ritually Slaughtered Meat – it must be!
We see the same cover up as there always is when the Halal Industry is involved… much the same as the cover-up of Muslim Grooming & Rape Gangs which went on for 10 years in UK and it continued until over 1400 underage girls had been violated in just one British town… Once the scandal was exposed, it was revealed that the Grooming Rape Gangs had been active all over Britain in every town. If you want to see Proof of this, some of the details have been recorded on our other Facebook page Chronological Evidence 2 here…
Chronological Evidence 2
Let’s not allow this Haram Meat Scandal to continue until it triggers widespread Food Poisoning or even death.
The right to know what you are buying is basic. Triply so with food.
Ask where you shop where the meat was sourced, and refuse it if it from a halal slaughterhouse.
We cannot allow this shyster like Pascal’s wager to be played on us, where producers figure that if all meat is Halal then they do not lose any of their market share.
They have to know that the cost of Islamification of the west, as well as abandoning all civilised rules for agriculture and animal husbandry, is the loss of the business of we poor kuffar.
That’s why we BOYCOTT HALAL!
Boycott all companies that promote Halal Meat & Poultry and Halal Certified products & services.

Non-Food HALAL CERTIFIED Metal Belts produced in IOWA
Cambridge Engineered Solutions (CES) is pleased to be the first metal belt manufacturer in the world to receive the Islamic Services of America’s (I.S.A.) Halal certification. By incorporating the Halal compliance system into manufacturing processes, Cambridge qualified the belts, as well as the process, to the I.S.A.’s stringent standards.
I.S.A. reviewed Cambridge’s production and materials at their headquarters in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and once determined compliant, I.S.A. visited the Cambridge Engineered Solutions headquarters in Cambridge, Maryland, for a full-inspection of the manufacturing facilities. This onsite inspection verified that CES operations also met Halal standards.

RED TRACTOR Tricks Shoppers into buying Halal Meat!
One expects to find this RED TRACTOR Food Standards Authority (FSA) logo on foods that have been well prepared to a good standard… but sadly it seems that this logo is now the sign of what is probably Halal Ritually Slaughtered meat according to all the largest British supermarket chains.
We often find this on RS Meat – We know it is RS because we have been checking the EEC Meat Codes on Packaged Meat in supermarkets for the past three years and ALWAYS find meat with halal abattoir EEC Meat Codes… So could this RED TRACTOR signify the Halal RS meat that is rejected at the post-slaughter inspection & pronounced HARAM by muslims… then sold off cheap to mainstream suppliers?
This was the disturbing findings of The Asian Tribune headlines on 24th July 2012
You would think looking at the logo that meat sold with this assured food standard is 100% British, but on contacting all major supermarkets, I was shocked to learn that in fact the standard means nothing and we are in fact eating Halal meat blessed with Islamic prayers and the animal having its throat cut until the blood drains out.
In some cases it takes as long as six minutes for the animal to die even when stunned.
Compassion in World Farming (CIWF) blasts Red Tractor on welfare

The Red Tractor symbol was first put on Halal Meat when JANAN MEATS, one of the Leading Suppliers of Halal Meat, was Awarded the Red Tractor.
Janan Meats is part of the Pitstock Group which is controlled by Naved Syed – a very influential muslim in this country who is also on the EBLEX (Eblex – The organisation for the English beef and sheep industry) Halal Steering Committee along with supermarket representatives eg. from ASDA… all hell bent on distributing halal meat mainstream in Britain & Europe & beyond.

Freya, nominated by her mum, Julie, was chosen as the winner because she supports her busy mum and dad in the kitchen and loves to cook Sunday lunch for friends and family.
“Freya loves to shop for her ingredients, and always makes a point of picking products with the Red Tractor logo on it, she knows this means the food has been produced to good standards.”
When walking into any British supermarket they all pride themselves on selling British products where possible , this can be seen in any meat section at Asda,Tesco and Waitrose to name a few.
But do we know what we are eating?
To help us we see logo’s like Red Tractor which guarantees:
– High standards of food safety and hygiene
– High Standards of animal welfare
– High Standards of Environmental protection
You would think looking at the logo that meat sold with this assured food standard is 100% British, but on contacting all major supermarkets, I was shocked to learn that in fact the standard means nothing and we are in fact eating Halal meat blessed with Islamic prayers and the animal having its throat cut until the blood drains out.

This practice of the Red Tractor logo appearing on halal meat is now common place according to Tescos who says…

Better still BOYCOTT TESCO & write to them to let them know why.
Call on the Government to Investigate Halal ‘Charities’
We Call on the Government to Investigate the HMC & other Muslim Halal ‘Charities’
We have evidence that Halal businesses have been undercutting our Farmers, Slaughterhouses, Cutting Plants and Farming Businesses, because they have been allowed to claim CHARITY STATUS and thereby get EXEMPTION FROM TAX & VAT on the running costs of their businesses. More shocking details of this and other types of BUSINESS IRREGULARITIES can be clearly seen on the Halal Monitoring Services website where the following questions were asked by brother Umar of Coventry from Jamia Darul Uloom Karachi…
Question 4 Some Halal meat supplying companies operating in the Halal meat industry in the UK abuse the law and voluntarily liquidate their companies after operating for some time, and by doing so free themselves of their accumulated debt, and then without paying their govt. taxes and debts owed to the farmers they open another company under another name and start operating again. In this way they undercut other law abiding companies engaged in providing Halal meat. These people are a cause of disrepute to the whole Halal meat industry, and they are one of the main reasons why many shortcuts and bad practices aimed at cost cutting have been introduced into the industry. Would Muslim certification bodies be justified denying certification to these companies? Halal Monitoring Services – Mufti Taki Usmani Fatwa
Halal Monitoring Committee – LIQUIDATION
HMC LIQUIDATION
Background… HALAL BUSINESSES GOING BANKRUPT? Could this be because Muslim Businessmen have had their Tax & VAT Avoidance Charity Status Scam stopped??? HALAL Companies have been operating a TAX AVOIDANCE SCAM by claiming Charity status to get out of paying the Tax & VAT that our own Farmers and Producers have to pay on their business running costs… This is how HALAL MEAT has been able to undercut traditional meat prices over the past decade… by20%+ PROOF: Halal businesses get EXEMPTION FROM TAX & CHARITY STATUS!!! I found this document – at last the HMRC has put their foot down in UK on one scam! 24th October 2011 – HMC ACQUIRES VAT REGISTRATION Over the past two years, the National Executive Committee initiated a review of the governance and structure of the organisation. This led to the successful registration with the Charity Commission in May 2009 as since our inception, we have remained a not for profit organisation. Earlier this year, we started a dialogue with HMRC regarding our VAT status. As a faith based voluntary organisation, our understanding was HMC is exempt from VAT similar to other charitable organisations. However, after a series of meetings, HMRC has advised we should become VAT registered based on the nature of services we provide. We have today communicated the impact of this to certified plants and outlets. Reflecting on the change, Chairman of HMC, Shaykh Yunus Dudhwala said: “We appreciate this change will impact on our stakeholders but are confident our partners will appreciate the context of this change and the mandatory nature of the change. More over, we are working closely with HMRC to ensure that whilst we fulfil our legal obligations, the impact of the changes is minimal. For this reason, the change in charges will only apply to plants, and this will have minimal impact as VAT registered companies are able to reclaim the VAT. It is important for all our partners to support us on our journey to ensure the provision of genuine Halal.” http://www.halalmc.net/news_events/news.html Scroll Down Page To See 7th article entitled… 24th October 2011 – HMC ACQUIRES VAT REGISTRATION 
ILLEGAL BUSINESS PRACTICE! HMC LIQUIDATION (UK) UK: Halal Monitoring Committee Limited goes into liquidation, but is now trading as HMC (UK) as it continues its work to supply Genuine Halal The HMC – is a so-called ‘respectable’ Halal Certification Board… On the background of the story that many muslim businesses are illegally claiming CHARITY STATUS to get out of paying TAX & VAT, we have already seen two more halal abattoirs close in Wales this month… Now the HMC is trying to wriggle out of paying its debts by going into Liquidation & opening for business in a new name – HMC (UK) Ltd.! QUOTE: Halal Monitoring Committee Limited is in the process of being dissolved allowing them to be debt free and to continue their work they have set up as HMC (UK)! NB.

QUESTION: Just wondering how many illegal Halal Business Scams are going on in other countries???
~ AND the HMC is not an isolated case… it happened in CANADA too! The Canada Revenue Agency revoked IRFAN-Canada’s charity status in April 2011 after having concluded that it financed the terrorist organization Hamas. This Video explains that the meat you eat has been Halal-slaughtered AND how your money is not only paying for halal-slaughtered meat, but how your money is being sent to various terrorist groups. Point de Bascule: Halal slaughter, Hamas monetary gain The certification agency is controlled by the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC), the main Muslim Brotherhood organization in Canada. MAC owns the building where the certification agency and the cultural centre are based and the administrators of the certification agency are former MAC directors or they have publicly endorsed MAC’s positions in the past. MAC’s halal program is part of a global Muslim Brotherhood’s strategy. SEE THIS VIDEO…
QUESTION – Why are we seeing such a rise in Halal Foods in Non-Islamic Countries???
ANSWER…
In 2010 in Islamabad, a leader of the Islamist organization, the mufti of Bosnia, Mustafa Ceric, urged Muslims…
“to conquer the world through Halal movement.”
Country: United Kingdom, Europe
“HALAL IS FOR EVERYONE” – WORLD HALAL FORUM
QUESTION: Just wondering how many illegal Halal Business Scams are going on in other countries???
~
Back to our problems in the UK, especially the Business irregularities outlined above…
QUESTION: In these times of austerity, WHY are we allowing such disrespectful flagrant cases of wrongdoing in any British Charities or Businesses?
Clearly this malpractice is putting our own hard-working Farmers livelihood in jeopardy? I have asked my local Farmers & Butchers and others in the Food Industry that I have met on-line…
QUESTION: WHY have you not spoken out about this ‘halal’ outrage long ago???
The answer in all cases was – “We are afraid of being labelled a ‘Racist’!” Clearly speaking out against Islam is not a racist issue and speaking out against Muslim’s who have no respect for the Law or Traditions of our country is not being racist either… Muslims are a multi-racial group of people from diverse cultural backgrounds, ethnicities and nationalities… You cannot be a Racist for opposing them.
We Must Call on the Government to Investigate the HMC & other Halal ‘Charities’ & ALL Business Irregularities…
Let’s Clean Up Britain!
BOYCOTT HALAL Products & Services!
Unfair Trading – ‘RS’ Label Required
We suggest a ‘RS’ Label is required for ALL Halal Certified products & services
Here is why…….
Over the past 10 years or more, Shoppers & Consumers have been unwittingly buying unlabelled halal products & services through Unfair Trading in our supermarkets, shops and food outlets. We now have found that halal suppliers have been granted Government Contracts and we are also being fed halal through our Institutions… Schools, Hospitals, Prisons, Care Homes, Sporting Venues etc.
Many Non-Muslims, such as our thousands of Members of BOYCOTT HALAL, do not want to buy halal products & services at all – and it is outrageous when we realise, by doing some research, that our well known branded products have in fact become halal certified… yet this has not been displayed on the packaging.
It is particularly sickening when that Unlabelled halal certified product is FOOD – often a well-known branded product, that we have unwittingly bought, that has been tampered with through Islamic Halal Compliance – and we have bought it and eaten it, because it was not clearly labelled.
Re: Labelling – Legally we should surely be protected by…
‘The Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008′ under Part 2, Section 6 ‘Misleading omissions’.
WHY are we allowing outdated 7th Century Ritual Slaughter in 21st Century Britain?
The UK is NOT an Islamic nation – Britain is in fact founded on Judeo-Christian values – so WHY is there such a vast over-production of Halal Meat when less than 5% of the population are Muslims? …and when their Qu’ran clearly tells them that they can simply pray over food to make it acceptable?
Consumers need to be able to identify whether they are buying or eating Traditional British meat or ‘RS’ meat (Halal ‘Ritually Slaughtered’ Meat) and the 95% of the British population that are Non-muslims just need clear labelling in plain English.
Yet for several years we have been asking our Government, DEFRA and the EU for more transparency in labelling, but the issue has not been addressed through ‘sensitive’ arguments over stunning.
We say Label ALL Ritually Slaughtered meat whether it was stunned, Reversibly Stunned, ultra-low amperage stunned, post-stunned or not stunned at all…
LABEL IT RS NOW!
MOO – We Like our Non-Halal Halal World
The fact that this meat has been involved in a ritual, dedicating it to a foreign god – Allah, is enough to warrant the labelling of this meat, as ‘Ritually Slaughtered’ – let’s call it ‘RS’ Meat.
RS’ also stands for ‘Religious Standard’ and can cover ALL halal certified products too – whether Food or Non-Food.
RS can also be used as a sign on all halal certified services and businesses that have gone down the halal compliance route to fulfil a ‘Religious Standard’.
We should not be relying on the, less than 5%, Muslim minority for mainstream Consumer Information – that is the job of our elected Government and it is also the job of the unelected bureaucrats in Brussels, who should be writing the necessary Policy enforce proper labelling, so that we can make a reasoned choice about what we are buying.
More transparency in labelling is needed so that shoppers can make a reasoned choice.
There is also the issue over ‘What Is Halal’ that confuses retailers… so rather than get it wrong, and possibly be sued, halal products are not being labelled… and us shoppers are being hoodwinked into buying them. There is no way that we Boycott Halal Members would ever buy meat that we knew had been Ritually Slaughtered, but since checking out the EU Meat Codes on packaged meat, we have discovered that we have unwittingly been buying this meat that has clearly come from Licensed Halal Certified Slaughterhouses.
Then we find a great confusion over what is halal and what is not…
Some meat, after the halal Ritual Slaughter, does not meet the grade at the Post-Slaughter Meat Inspection and is judged to Not be halal by the Muslim Inspector. It is the ‘Rejected Substandard’ meat that is pronounced as being haram… “Unfit For Muslim Consumption”
So Why does a Meat Carcass become HARAM?
One reason that a Ritually Slaughtered carcass can get judged to be Haram by the Inspector is that something went wrong at the actual slaughter.
Other reasons happen at the Post Slaughter Meat Inspection… maybe the animal is found to have blemish; or maybe there was a spillage of stomach contents over part of the carcass as it was cut, or maybe when cutting open the carcass, a suspicion arises that it may have some sort of infection or a possible disease…
MEAT INSPECTION
http://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/topics/topic/meatinspection.htm
As far as we can gather, no note is made & kept with each carcass regarding the reason for rejection as substandard; this meat is separated from the halal and put in the ‘Haram Warehouse’ where it is sold off cheap to Big Buyers, from Supermarkets or Restaurant Chains…. to save waste and to provide meat at the cheapest prices.
This meat cannot then be labelled halal – even though it has had a prayer said over it to allah and it has been Ritually Slaughtered facing Mecca –
AND obviously no one would want to buy the ‘Rejected Sub-standard’ meat, if it was labelled ‘Haram’
It MUST be labelled and the ‘RS’ label would signify that it is the ‘Rejected Substandard’.
At the Post Slaughter Meat Inspection the carcass may be judged to be haram – so this meat is discarded and sold off to Non-Muslims.
At the moment this haram Ritually Slaughtered meat is discarded into the mainstream Food Chain Unlabelled as such, and sold as conventional meat!
What an Outrage eh!
You may go to your butcher and say, “Is that meat halal?”
And your butcher can truthfully say… “No, this is definitely NOT halal meat.”
I had one butcher rub a piece of meat with Lard and say, ” There… now that meat is certainly Not Halal is it!”
And he seemed quite surprised when I said…
“That pig fat has not changed the way the poor animal was slaughtered without proper stunning!”
He then had the audacity to suggest, with a smile, that I could pray over it!
Clearly if Meat or Poultry has been dedicated to a foreign god and slaughtered unstunned or with a Reversible Stun, it is therefore not Traditional Meat – and it should be Labelled in some way as such. We suggest ‘RS’
Clearly if we are not able to make a reasoned choice as we buy products, because they are not clearly labelled, we are being treated unfairly – this lack of transparency in labelling is Unfair Trading.
Some confectionery, e.g. chocolate, includes halal by-products eg. halal rennet from ritually slaughtered calves; other brands do not, but may still be halal certified with halal additives. Many Dairy Products are now halal certified, like this yoghurt – but it does not tell you that on the label… it is only when checking the small print that it is found to have ‘halal gelatine’ amongst the ingredients. Our Boycott Halal Members would Not want to buy a product that contains halal gelatine, because it could be made from the bones of ritually slaughtered livestock – but we have been hoodwinked into buying it, because it is Unlabelled Halal Yoghurt!
This Yoghurt was found to have halal gelatine amongst the ingredients in the small print. Yes, yoghurt with gelatine which could have been made from the bones of ritually slaughtered animals!
No Boycott Halal Member would choose to buy this, because they would never want to buy a halal certified product.
However this Yoghurt is Not Labelled as halal anywhere on the packaging… unless you take time to read the small-print.
This is how consumers are tricked into thinking that a product, with a well known Brand name, is OK… when in fact they have unwittingly bought and been eating yoghurt that contains Ritually Slaughtered Animal by-products!
This is the time-consuming process that we have to follow in order to to avoid buying halal products…
This is the lengthy Process we have to go through now in order to Avoid Halal Food Selection
We want to boycott all halal products & services, because we do not want to encourage the production of more… by not buying halal, our action will logically reduce demand and hopefully production as companies see their profits fall.
HOW MUCH EASIER IT WOULD BE WITH THE RS LABEL
ALL RS food & even non-food products using halal by-products are following the halal Religious Standard and should be labelled as such, to inform shoppers.
All manufacturers & retailers eg. Restaurants should also have the ‘RS’ symbol if they are Halal Certified and thereby producing products according to a Religious Standard OR operating a service eg. Meat Cutting Plant, according to a Religious Standard.
RS Label
Article 9 Human Rights Act. regarding Freedom of Conscience – should give us the right to religious and secular freedom, ie to not be forced to participate in religious rites.
Dedicating this meat to a god violates this right: hence there is forced participation in another’s religion without consent.
Also Jews, Sikhs & Christians are specifically instructed not to eat this meat, so where is their religious freedom?
UK Human Rights Blog

We need to know what we are buying and eating and we want to know if products & services are following a religious standard, or are traditional to our nation.
I introduce to you the RS Label which could bring real transparency in labelling…
The ‘RS’ Label could also be in Black & White to reduce costs.
The ‘RS’ label is for ALL products that contain Ritually Slaughtered meat or its by-products; or additives included, because they conform to a Religious Standard.
The ‘RS’ mark is also for ALL products or services that follow a Religious Standard.
The ‘RS’ Label should be applied to…
Label ALL Ritually Slaughtered Meat whether it ends up classified as halal or haram or ends up being used as a by-product eg.Rennet, Leather
Label ALL food products with ingredients that include halal by-products OR that conformed to a Religious Standard in production
Label ALL Halal Certified products – whether food or non-food, because they adhere to a Relgious Standard
Label ALL Halal Certified services eg. Food Services, Cutting Plants, Food Processing Plants, Packaging, Transport, Financial, Housing, Tourism etc.
Label ALL Halal Certified products with ingredients emanating from Microbiological Pharmaceutical Quality Control Labs & Microbial Enzymes
Label ALL Non-food products that include halal Religious Standard by-products or that conformed to a Religious Standard in production
Label ALL Halal Certified Chains clearly at every entrance and point of sale eg. shops, supermarkets, fast food eateries, take-aways, restaurants etc.
Label ALL ‘RS’ foods that are served to consumers in Institutions eg. Schools, Colleges, Care Homes, Hospitals, Prisons, Sports Venues etc.
CURB THE HALAL INDUSTRY – Label ALL Halal Products & Services ‘RS’ – including that Haram Meat, from livestock that was Dedicated to Allah, then Rejected as Substandard meat.
Halal is not only a trademark, an approval… it is an integral part of Sharia, Quranic Law Regime called Islam!
If we accept Halal in our society… then we must also accept the existence of its opposite, the haram.
The muslims halal lifestyle involves every aspect of life… and all that is not halal is judged to be haram.
Soon WE Non-Muslims will be branded as HARAM or worse Kafir! (infidels).
Islamic culture, unlike other ethnic minorities in the West, tends to subdue and subjugate whatever is different from it.
We cannot give one inch to this totalitarian cult-regime that oppresses and wounds men, women and animals.
BOYCOTT HALAL !
