In a landmark event for Illinois’ more than 400,000 Muslim, the Illinois senate has unanimously passed the Halal Food Act on Thursday to safeguard the interests of the Muslim consumer.
The Act makes it a Class B misdemeanor for any person to make any oral or written statement that directly or indirectly tends to deceive or otherwise lead a reasonable individual to believe that a non-halal food or food product is Halal.The Act also makes it unlawful for any business ,which advertises itself as selling only Halal foods or food products only, to carry any non-Halal products.
It also specifically defines the term “Halal” as food “prepared under and maintained in strict compliance with the laws and customs of the Islamic religion including but not limited to those laws and customs of zabiha/zabeeha (slaughtered according to appropriate Islamic code), and as expressed by reliable recognized Islamic entities and scholars.”
The Illinois Halal Food Act is unique in the sense that it is a new bill and not an amendment, whereas the New Jersey and Minnessota Bills were amendments made to the already existing Kosher laws. It additionally contains provisions on the regulation of Halal farm.
Obama sponsored Illinois Senate Bill 750 creating the “Halal Food Act,” providing for inspections by the Department of Agriculture to ensure that all food labeled Halal is prepared according to Islamic law per freedom’s enemies web site.

Obama probably sees Jesus as a prophet like many muslims, but not the Son of God, and not The Way To Salvation. And a variety of faiths are going to open the upcoming DNC convention with a a prayer and worship service at the upcoming DNC convention for the unbeliever posing as a believer.

In almost every election the media tells us what restaurant the candidates eat at and everything.... I have not seen that with Obama yet.
What's the problem with this? It's just a consumer protection law. I'm sure there is a similar stature covering fraudulently Kosher food, too.
