The Halal epidemic within the UK - updated
The Halal market is worth about £1 Trillion per annum and the OIC (organization of Islamic countries) want this to grow especially in the European market, the OIC have approached Turkey to further this cause, why Turkey? well it is the main food producer to the Islamic world and there is still a possibility that Turkey may gain entry into the EU which would facilitate the further spread of Halal products throughout Europe.
OIC urges Turkey to take the lead in $1 trillion halal food marketHere in the UK there are many suppliers of Halal foods - here are a few of them - just click on the links to see who they actually are

This stuff is being pumped into our food chain, and its not only food that is being surreptitiously forced upon us, there are halal medicines and pharmaceuticals, are any of these labeled do we actually know what we are taking?
Manufacturers don't want to draw too much attention to their products being halal, in case they scare the kuffar customers off (Bible-believing Christians are not supposed to eat food that has been dedicated to a demon). So the squiggle may be small and inconspicuous and the English lettering 'halal' might be omitted.
.
However the giveaway 'mark of Allah' is a squiggle that looks like a hand-writen JY with a tail on it.
But Mike Judge, from the campaign group the Christian
Institute, said: ‘The idea of having Islamic ritual said over meat would
be objectionable to some Christians. I would find it objectionable, so
it should be labelled as halal.’
Initially, Tesco and Waitrose were reluctant to admit they sold
any halal meat. Tesco said in a statement: ‘It is not the case that all
the meat we sell is halal or that our suppliers only offer halal meat.’
But when quizzed further, a spokesman said: ‘All our New Zealand lamb is halal-slaughtered, as is 35 per cent of our UK lamb. Less than five per cent of our chicken is halal.’
A Waitrose spokeswoman said in her first statement: ‘I can confirm that Waitrose does not sell any halal meat.’
But a day later, another spokes woman said: ‘You mentioned the [Islamic] prayer said at the point of slaughter. This applies to all our lamb but not to beef or poultry.’
M&S said in its first statement: ‘No meat sourced by
M&S from the UK is halal.’ When asked about lamb, a spokeswoman
said: ‘Our New Zealand lamb is halal-slaughtered but pre-stunned.’
A Sainsbury’s spokesman said: ‘The abattoirs that supply us with lamb are licensed by the Muslim authorities and a prayer is said when the animals are killed.’
Sandwich chain Subway admitted that up to five per cent of its chicken is Islam ically slaughtered without being stunned.
Subway said in a statement: ‘By mid-November there will be no
halal meat in our non-halal stores. The meat served in halal Subway
stores is not stunned before slaughter.’
Domino’s Pizza said it had served Islamically slaughtered chicken in most of its 580 outlets for ten years.
A spokeswoman said: ‘The majority of our chicken is halal slaughtered, but it is all stunned prior to slaughter.’
Pizza Hut and KFC, through their PR firm Freud Com munications,
said: ‘We use a number of international suppliers, some of whom provide
halal chicken as standard practice.
‘Importantly, all of the chicken we source, halal or otherwise, is stunned before slaughter.’
Nando’s said: ‘All of our chickens are stunned first. A small proportion of all the chicken sold in our restaurants is halal.’
They HAVE to tell us what we’re buying
Analysis by Richard North
Even though I’ve seen it done thousands of times, you never really get used to watching animals being killed. But as long as we eat meat, it has to be done. And it is our duty as a society to ensure that the procedure is carried out humanely and with as much dignity as possible.
Society also has to respect religious freedom and rituals, and I don’t have a problem with that. I am, however, uneasy that the laws that require humane killing of animals for meat – particularly that they must be rendered insensible before being slaughtered – do not apply to Jews for their kosher meat and Muslims for halal foods.
It is a fudge we have all lived with, however uneasily, for
years, feeling safe in the knowledge that this is very much a niche
market. Only last week the Office for National Statistics reported that
just four per cent of the British population was Muslim.
Surely, if you want halal or kosher meat, you go to a specialist butcher and everybody else can be confident their meat is produced to more humane standards?
Well, actually, no. That choice has been scandalously taken away from us. Not only are we deliberately not informed if our meat is produced according to religious ritual, many retailers do not even know.
And there is only one real reason: profit. The reality of modern meat production, both here and abroad, is that most animals are killed in vast, modern slaughterhouses.
Once there were small, specialist kosher and halal producers, but now the trade has been taken over by industrial concerns. To cover the increasing demand for halal meat, these corporate slaughterhouses have either had to introduce halal methods or buy in halal meat from specialist butchers.
The choice is either to introduce a separate production line or to take the cost-cutting option of having just one production line. But in this one-size-fits-all world, it’s not the most humane and dignified method of slaughter – the one enshrined in British and EU law – that wins out.
No, the ‘one-size’ is the less humane method of killing tailored to the religious demands of just four per cent of the population. Since it is not illegal to palm off halal meat on non-Muslims, that is being done on a massive scale. And there is nothing the Government or the EU can or will do about it.
The UK has draconian regulation, far more rigorous than in the rest of Europe. But this was supported by the large slaughterhouses which thought that closing down smaller competition would increase their market share and profit margins. In this country, the combined pressure of regulation and the greed of commercial producers have ensured local butchers are now rare, and local slaughterhouses even rarer. And it is the massive factory abattoir, hidden from sight, that perpetrate these practices.
Thus, commercial greed has found a way of circumventing a law that we, in our ignorance, expect to be obeyed and that we have a right to see obeyed.
We do not expect commercial interests to prevail, on a technicality, over something that many campaigned for – the humane slaughter of our animals.
This is not only commercially wrong, morally it is a disgrace.

I kill 45 chickes a minute and all get an Islamic prayer
The Muslim slaughterman murmurs the Islamic verse as thousands of chickens whir towards him on a conveyor belt hung from the ceiling.
Masood Akhtar grabs hold of one chicken’s head with his left hand and, with his right, draws his knife across its neck.
The slaughterman barely has time to say ‘Bismillah Allah-hu-Akbar’ (meaning ‘In the name of Allah, who is the greatest’) before the next bird is upon him.
It appears a long way from the ritualised slaughter that many would imagine produces halal chicken. Mr Akhtar is not dressed in robes but in a hair-net and a yellow blood-spattered jacket.
And far from a spiritual ceremony, the process is clinical and robotic – Mr Akhtar claims to kill 45 birds every minute and 40,000 in a week.
The procedure appears to follow Sharia law, which states that the bird must be killed alive by a Muslim man who recites the set verse as he cuts its throat.
At the Paul Flatman Ltd poultry processing plant outside Colchester in Essex where Mr Akhtar works, the chickens are stunned by dipping them in electrified water before they are killed.
‘The charge stuns the birds for around two minutes – it’s like a general anaesthetic,’ explained factory manager Tim Lane.
‘It’s crucial not to kill the bird because then, it wouldn’t be halal, so we adjust the charge depending on the chicken’s size. We are very careful to get the balance right.
‘Some of the other bigger poultry factories who are supplying the supermarkets claim the chicken they produce is halal – but it’s not really.
‘Instead of using a Muslim man as the killer, they use an automatic circular saw and a tape recorder to play the prayer.
‘They can’t do it properly because of the sheer volume of chickens they have to kill to meet demand. Some of the factories are doing one million birds a week.’
Mr Akhtar, 29, became a slaughterman at the age of 18 after a few months’ training.
‘When I arrived I wanted to be a killer,’ he recalled. ‘On my first day in training, three out of ten birds I killed were not cut properly through both neck arteries – this meant they were not halal.
‘But after three months
of practice I was perfect – every bird was killed in true halal style.’
The Paul Flatman plant opened in 1961 slaughtering chickens in the normal way, but in 1977, as demand from halal wholesalers increased, Mr Flatman switched his entire production to halal.
He says he has never found it hard to recruit Muslim slaughtermen. ‘It’s usually just through word of mouth in the Muslim community – it’s not hard to find volunteers.’
I am a qualified meat inspector and have lost count of the days and weeks I’ve spent in slaughterhouses. I’ve never liked the ritual way of killing – I don’t believe it is humane.
I don’t know any slaughterman who likes it either. But we accept it because it is the law – even though the law has been fudged because the issue is too sensitive for the Government and the EU (which now makes the rules) to take on.

There is another side to this story, the previously mentioned OIC has a vested interest in the spread of Halal products in non Islamic countries, we all know that Immigration is one of the weapons in the Islamic assault on Europe, therefore it makes sense that infrastructures are in place within Dar ul Harb that will support the incoming migratory armies of Islam.
The fact that slaughter houses in the UK are now prepared to revert to stone age methods of slaughter which are completely inhumane,this tells us that the attack on our food chain is well advanced and we knew nothing about this at all, it was just done to us.
Can you imagine the row that there would be if the situation were reversed,
Little Switzerland is not afraid of that row, Nestle' s is a Swiss company and they have just banned the production of Halal sausages-
The food group Nestle decided Tuesday to suspend the production of halal brand Knacki Herta, for an indefinite period. "Further testing conducted at the end of production line, allowing us to assure our consumers that our products sont100% without pork, are not compatible with mass industrialization, explains Valérie Bignon, spokesman Nestlé Group.
The fact remains however that in the UK major food outlets still continue to inflict halal food upon us, our children, our sick and our disabled - we have no choice, we are deliberately left uninformed.
The major outlets will not state what is and what is not halal, if you ask a shop assistant they will tell you that they do not know or they may have been instructed to say no, it is not Halal, the major outlets do not want a drop in their sales.
What of the farmers that sell their produce to these major outlets , do they know that the animals they sell will be killed in a barbaric way that lets the animal choke on its own blood for about 15 minutes.
Some Imam is supposed to say prayers over the tortured animal whilst it dies - I for one do not wish to consume any food that has had an Imam spewing all over it.
As for the above list, we should all hit on them with complaints, boycott their produce and actively de-market their businesses

This inhumane and absolutely cruel methods to kill animals in ritualised form is inimical to the traditions of Europe. This good and decent tradition, of not inflicting prolonged pain on animals, is one of the main features of a decent civilised society. Why? Because we show compassion to not just those who can speak, but to the defenceless and the speechless.
This butchery has now become gargantuan in scale. Our once civilised society has reverted to ritualised sacrifice, and is quite literally swimming in an ocean of blood, as animals are killed slowly.
How did this happen? How did we allow it? Why is the RSPCA, an organisation that is up in arms over a few badgers, is silent while halal slaughter is all around them.
If there is a God, and he judges us, we will be found wanting, for we once were civilised, and knew good from bad.

DP111 and Gandalf: the range of companies complicit in spreading halal procucts in the UK is mind-boggling. Ultimately, it simply goes to highlight that David Cameron's speech the other week about ditching state multiculturalism was specious verbiage. If he really was against multiculturalism, he'd be outlawing halal slaughter and products derived therefrom because it contravenes our high standards of animal welfare.
Still, not all solicitors have jumped on the Sharia bandwagon yet. However, here's one to add to your list of companies to boycott (this time it's Lancashire based): http://durotrigan.blogspot.com/2011/02/emmetts-solicitors-enablers-of-shariah.html

It's so sad that people are begging for help from the EDL. The police and the government have a lot to answer for. The police should be stopping crime.
I support the EDL, this is no criticism of the EDL, just comment on the tragic situation people having to go to them for help.

Since we can not trust the supermarkets,boycott all new zealand lamb,and only buy your meat from the butchery counter,they will cut whatever you want from the joints on display,as long as it is marked british it should be humanely killed.

Morrisons is I believe one supermarket that uses on British meat products.
I have stopped shopping in Tesco, Sainsbury, and Asda for all goods, not just meat products. Simply go to Morrisons instead, and do all my shopping there.
Please spread the message. Campaign everywhere by posting and by word. We cant let this rest. Halal slaughter can be seen in action on the KITMAN TV blog. But do not watch it if you have a weak stomach, or are a normal civilised Westerner. DO NOT WATCH IT, just take my word, that what us happening in the UK, is beyond evil.
What is happening now is a scale of evil never imagined. Much evil is done beyond sight, but when it does come to light in the future, then we, in whose presence and watch it is taking place, will be held to shame and derision. We and our memory will have to bear the shame and vilification for what is happening now.

Notice the silence from the RSPCA and animal welfare groups
Reply to this
In the the fullness of time, history or God will judge us. That judgement will tempered by the knowledge whether we knew good from evil. Thus a child is not responsible for a crime. But we did know. We had humane slaughter as legal requirement, and thus we did know the difference. There is thus no excuse for us. None at all.

About 15 years ago our local RSPCA Inspector campaigned against halal slaughter. Then they even made the front page of the local evening paper complete with photograph of a "saved" sheep.Just shows how far things have gone I still see one of the RSPCA people on odd occasions next time I will ask why they stopped.We know why but I would like to hear the excuse.
OT The Northern area of the Association of Speakers Clubs held a speaking contest last week. A completely non-political outfit where mostly older people practice public speaking for fun. Politics, sex & religion are are banned as subjects but one exercise was to speak for 3 minutes on a subject without preparation. The subject in this case was "A wake-up call"
Most spoke about alarm clocks, getting up etc. then one started with "The twin towers was a wake up call to America & the West about terrorism". He was allowed to finish but the judges tore him to pieces and his speech was the only one edited out of the video recording on the contest.
Sign of the times? Mind you about 4 years ago the ASC was infiltrated by the UAF because unknown to them a member* of the BNP joined one of their clubs. Then as a non-political club they refused the UAF request to kick him out so I suppose they got their own behinds kicked then.
* He left when he was "outed" in the local paper & his business was picketed.

Spread the message of the evil that is being done on our watch. It will take time, but in the end the message will get through, just as it has over MC.
It took almost 10 years after 9/11, but MC is now dead in the water as a policy that is supported by the state. Now we have to start regaining the ground lost through MC. It will take just as long, but evil will not win the end, as long as there are a few some who will stand against it.

The rspca (lower case is very appropriate)have washed thier hands of the issue entirely,proclaiming it beyond thier control,as they tell me it is the law,so nothing can be done about it,which is the biggest load of tripe that i have recently encountered,we change laws by protesting against them,not making discussion of them taboo.

VICTORY! Campbell's Sales fall 8% After Boycott for Muslim Brotherhood-Linked Collaboration
We called for a boycott of Campbell's soups -- and it looks like we made an impact. Back in October, Atlas called for a boycott (here) of Campbell's soups after they announced they would be going halal under the auspices of the Hamas-linked Muslim Brotherhood group, Islamic Society of North America.
