Europe's far-right community is boycotting Toblerone chocolate after learning that the sweet is now halal. The certification that enables practicing Muslims to eat the well-known triangular chocolate actually came in April, but a social media post by a spokesman for the far-right Alternative for Germany party, known as AfD, brought it to the forefront last week. Then came the hashtag #BoycottToblerone, which has since spread to other countries, including England, France and the Netherlands... Deerfield, Illinois-based Mondelēz International, which owns Toblerone, told CNN that the production process for the chocolate made in a factory in Bern, Switzerland, didn't need to be adjusted to earn the halal certification. The anti-halal issue "is of those recurring Islamaphobic themes not only in this country, but around the world," said Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Washington, D.C.-based civil rights and advocacy group. "Food is something universal and that’s why the haters latch onto it. It's something that touches everyone and they see this as a productive vehicle for their bigotry."

Not halal is chocolate covered bacon, yum!
Maybe Dole needs to put a halal certified sticker on their pineapples and bananas. Hmm, better call the city to make sure your tap water is halal.
Are they sourcing only from muslim food providers? Some Imam make the claim that is the only way to truly know it is halal.
Don’t need the junk sugar or tooth decay. They can keep their halal poison. Let the muzzlimes rot their teeth and challenge their pancreas.
We invited the local Rabi to inspect the process and he found it acceptable.
We were proud to have a Kosher refinery...
Hmm, better call the city to make sure your tap water is halal.

I seriously don’t understand the stink about this, because when you come right down to it all it means is that more muslin cash will be going to a non muslin company.
Toblerone was a very high-end, high quality chocolate. When Kraft bought it in 1990, the goal was to use that brand-recognition to mass-market it, cheapen it, and pimp it out.
They’ll milk it for everything they can, and then destroy the brand.
Only CAIR (Council on Asshole Islamic Retards) can make an antibiotic Christian message on chocolate.
In Europe in the 70s, every time we’d fly to another country, I’d gather up the loose coins we had from that country and buy Toblerones at the airport. They were great back then but had one a few years ago and noticed it was no where as good.
Eff you, Hooper scum.
Non-meat “halal” essentially means no alcohol.
Er antibiotic Christian should be antiChristian...I hate this phone keyboard...
I think Mondelez was one of the first global megacorps to target advertising to homosexuals.
Some are also kosher-——and have been for years.
Much ado about nothing.
