We are led to believe that Halal is just a method of cutting meat – there is Halal and then there is “Jhatka” ( a single strike ). No, the Muslims do not wish to tell the truth. If this be the case, why will Muslims not eat meat cut by a non- Muslim in the method prescribed – which is : “killing through a cut to the jugular vein, carotid artery and windpipe and all blood is drained from the carcass.”
To be truly Halal
1) The meat has to be cut by an adult Muslim
2) The slaughterer should face towards the qiblah and the animal’s neck should be turned to face the qiblah. (Qiblah is Kaaba, Mecca – the direction to which Muslims turn at during prayer.
3) The phrase bismillah (‘in the name of God’) must be uttered just before slaughtering an animal.
If you read this carefully, HALAL essentially is an offering to Allah and hence, it becomes a religious offering.
Lets turn the discussion around : These two questions were asked by Muslims.
1. Can we (Muslims) eat the food items given in temples?
This question was asked and a Fatwa by Darul Uloom Deoband : “It is unlawful and haram to eat if it is surely known that the items were offered to their gods and goddesses or the items are impure. However, a Muslim should avoid going into temples.”
2. Another question was asked : can eating food at any hindu's ivitation is halal or haram ?
Darul Uloom Deoband issued this Fatwa : “One can eat at a Hindu?s invitation provided one is sure that neither a haram (impure) agent is used in the food nor it is offering of Hindu gods and goddesses.”
BOTTOM LINE: A Muslim will not eat any food if there was a prayer involved invoking Hindu Gods & Goddess but Hindus are being forced to eat HALAL meat where prayer to Allah is invoked.
SO THIS INJUSTICE MUST END. SAY NO TO HALAL.
Meat is one thing. How are peanuts etc getting Halal certified ?
Any food is halal if NO ALCOHOL is used as flavour / artificial flavour or even ethyl alcohol is used as a solvent or carrier and if the flavoring ingredients are not from Halal source.
Again – if this sounds ludicrous or confusing to you – it is meant to me so. Because there is money to made. For a product to be HALAL certified, a Halal certification fee is to be paid. And in the process, the Muslims have formed a cartel to infiltrate the food business with processes and certifications even in non Muslim countries.
Today as you eat Non Vegetarian meal in any Indian airline or any restaurant (specially top end 5 star ones) – the meat is always Halal certified. In a way the Muslims have won the food jihad in India (and indeed, many other non Muslim countries) by ensuring even Non Muslims eat meat that is a religious offering to Allah (ie HALAL).
There is major financial angle to this. 71% of India is non vegetarian – yet most of the butchers (of goat meat) are Muslims – the Hindu butchers have been pushed away into oblivion. Hence the business of certifying Halal has benefitted Muslims in a Hindu majority country.
When a Hindu buys Halal meat he thinks nothing much – he thinks its just a way of cutting meat – he has been told that Halal cut is healthier option as the blood is drained etc – he is not told the religious aspect of it at all. And even if he knew, he thinks – “I am not going to turn Muslim after eating Halal meat – whats the fuss about?”
The fuss is – aggregating this behaviour has led to loss of livelihood of Hindu butchers.
The possession of sharp knives and cutting instruments gets to be kept with Muslims – this way during riots – Hindus are left with no weapons to fend for themselves. While the Muslim butchers are free to dispense with their myriad knives amongst their people.
Let us have HINDU CERTIFIED products in the market. Let us push the hotels to give us NON HALAL food and insist on it. Let there be a law against being force fed Allah’s offering which is HALAL on NON MUSLIMS.
Even vegetarian items such as Unilever’s MAGNUM icecream bars are HALAL certified. Boycott all such products.
Say NO TO HALAL. Say YES to HINDU CERTIFIED Products.
