Halal: Is it Meat You’re Looking For? Says China Businessman
Al Arabiya ^ | Thursday, 28 April 2016 | Benjamin Haas

The wine-swilling co-founder of Sai Wai Xiang Halal Foodstuff Co enjoys his pork and does not follow Islam, but still sells more than $50 million-worth of food to Muslims across Asia and the Middle East.

The company is at the forefront of a Chinese drive into the global halal food and beverage market, exporting as far away as Saudi Arabia.

Businessman Deng Zhijun bills his wares as “products with Muslim ethnic flavour”, but has difficulty recalling some of Islam’s basic dietary tenets.

“Muslims definitely don’t smoke and don’t drink alcohol,” he said over a lunch at the company, in a garden lined with caged peacocks, macaws and chickens. “There’s also some kind of meat they don’t eat, but I forgot.”

Some of what Mr. Deng thinks he knows about Islamic behavior isn’t entirely correct. While “devout” Muslims may not drink, eat non-halal food, solicit prostitutes, gamble, etc., in the Muslim world, they most definitely do while they’re visiting the West.

Careful there Deng - that's a slip that could cost you your head.

Leave it to the Chinese to “say” questions.

Very clever...

They don’t eat pork, but it’s OK to slice necks and burn people alive.

I like the idea of a Chinese selling Halal food. If his quality control and scruples are anything like, it seems, most Chinese companies, he’ll be selling “Halal” pork and blood sausages in no time!

I don’t think Muslims should trust this guy too much. Knowing the Chinese, there could be absolutely anything in that ‘meat’.
