Muslims always have a beef about something.

One of the first demands that Muslims have when they infest an area is insistence that local businesses cater to their dietary requirements.

MUSLIM POPULATION TIMELINE

  1. As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens.
  2. At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs.

  3. From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves along with threats for failure to comply. At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

  4. When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam.

  5. After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues.

  6. At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare.

  7. From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels.

  8. After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in Bangladesh — Muslim 83%, Egypt — Muslim 90%, Gaza — Muslim 98.7%, Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%, Iran — Muslim 98%, Iraq — Muslim 97%, Jordan — Muslim 92%

  9. 100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace. Here there’s supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in: Afghanistan — Muslim 100%, Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%, Somalia — Muslim 100%, Yemen ---Muslim 100%.

Except in this case, they were exporting it to Muslim countries. Not cool when you certify something as Halal which isn’t, anymore than it would be cool to certify something as Kosher which wasn’t.

False export labeling will bring the Feds down on you lickety split, particularly when they are responding to a complaint. Not a smart thing to do anytime, anywhere and under any circumstances.

“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” Sir Winston Churchill

I’m sorry. I don’t care who you are. If you contract with someone to provide you with something, and they provide you with something else, it’s simply wrong.

I, for example, refuse to ingest industrial seed oils. I believe they’re way too high in omega-6 fats to be healthy, and I have serious misgivings about whether any oil could make it through the processing (degummed, refined, bleached, deodorized, etc.), without being damaged. I think there is strong evidence that these damaged oils are a significant player in heart disease.

Because of this, the only bottled oil I use is virgin olive oil.

It doesn’t really matter whether I’m right in all of this, or just some kook who’s gone off on some flakey internet theory. I have a right to expect, when I buy virgin olive oil, that it be virgin olive oil. Extracted from olives via a cold, mechanical process, without heat or chemicals.

Tests have shown that as much as 40% of olive oil imported into the US isn’t actually olive oil, it’s canola oil with a bit of olive added for flavoring. It’s a profitable substitution - canola oil is a lot cheaper than olive oil. But’s it’s not what I wanted, it’s not what I asked for, and it’s not what I was promised.

So, when the FDA has prosecuted importers for fraud, I’ve been supportive. This is one of the legitimate functions of government.

With respect to this debate over Halal beef - I don’t see it as any different. If you’re selling as Halal beef that is not Halal, and asking for and getting Halal prices, you are committing fraud.
