Colonel Sanders is rolling over in his grave.
But, so far, KFC is holding the line on the latest absurd Muslim demand that all of society bow to their religious beliefs.

Kentucky Fried Chicken is a highly successful chain restaurant. They have been around for decades. And they won’t be leaving. But the legal dispute they are caught up in is threatening that. More importantly, it is over some of the most absurd nonsense that will make your stomach turn.
==============================================================
A group of Muslim believers is campaigning for Kentucky Fried Chicken to shut down their businesses if they do not serve halal food. It is a movement that is gaining a lot of support in New Zealand all thanks to a Facebook and social media campaign. They have gained over 2,000 likes in a little over a month and their support continues to grow.
The US Herald reported,
“The movement is being led by Syeda Fouzia, who said the process of delivering halal food ‘is not that difficult.’ ‘We’ve had some criticism, but having halal certification will only mean more people will be able to eat at KFC. It won’t affect non-Muslims,’ UK-born Ms. Fouzia told reporters.
However what seems to be missing in all of this is KFC’s iconic branding within the fast food industry and whether it might actually affect its business model around the world, in that the entire concept of KFC is its branding persona of it’s carefully guarded “top-secret” original recipe which includes a blend of 11 herbs and spices.
However, Ms. Fouzia has gained a lot of support online asking why the simple transition can’t be made to include “halal KFC?” “Just like to point out KFC is a multi-national fast food corporation, it has about as much cultural bearing on New Zealander’s way of life as Tacobell,” one person said.
But not everyone was having it from the bully Muslims:
Fortunately, KFC has no intention of caving in to the demands of these pushy Muslims. ‘We appreciate their request, however, the issues relating to us being able to certify halal product for customers remain,’ said a KFC a spokesperson. ‘We have no plans to re-introduce halal in New Zealand.’ Well, there you have it. Nice job KFC!”

They removed all but three spices from his recipe of “Eleven herbs and spices” from what I have heard.
Harlan was a bad dude- shot a man over his vandalizing one of Sander’s signs- one man was killed by the opposition, one wounded by sanders himself

Nope didn’t kill him- but wounded him in a hail of gunfire- Talk about protecting a brand!
I believe halal means the animals are consecrated to Mohammed prior to slaughter, which is also done in a cruel painful way. Christians and PETA activists beware.
You know with fast food many of the chains are primarily one meat group
Chicken Primarily restaurants Chick Filet, Popeye’s Kentucky Fried
Beef primarily Burger King or Wendy’s or McDonald’s
So how about Pork primarily restaurants which would entail a lot of barbecue places
Do they fall under this concept
Please, KFC, Popeye’s, all others...go back to deep-frying in pure pork lard! It’s the best!
they must have added something too because i can’t eat there now without getting sick- and i don’t think it’s just because my system has changed because i can eat other fried food fine-
Have to add more pork fat until it is halal enough for them.
That’s why I quit going there decades ago. The legs kept getting smaller as the price kept getting higher.
Well, so there is hope for bacon wrapped chicken gizzards after all.
The G_d in the book I follow specifically requires I do NOT consume anything that has been sacrificed to a false god.
The process of halal slaughter and butchery includes a prayer to a god not my own, therefore a false god.
Halal and Kosher—both have the animals prayed over as they are being slaughtered.,

>> Popeyes is the best! <<
Yuuuucccckkkkkkkkkkkk.
Dry, flavorless, nasty! If it wasn’t for (racist) FUBU, and a nasty whisper-slander campaign, no-one would ever have heard of Popeye’s.

If I were KFC I would add pork to the menu. Who wants smelly Muslims in their restaurant?
Since nearly everyone seems to be missing the point:
KFC won’t submit it’s recipes for hallal certification, because to do that, they’d have to tell the Muslims exactly what the recipe is. So the Muslims are trying to shake them down to make KFC knock-off products throughout the Muslim world.
Apparently nutmeg is tabboo to some muslims.
McDonalds & Little Caesars tried going Halal and didn’t get it right, and were sued by Muslims.
Have you ever had popcorn popped in bacon grease??It’s fantastic.
Some, though not all, muslims consider nutmeg an intoxicant and therefor not halal. In really large quantities it can apparently be mind altering. But others have no problem with it when used as a spice.
