I am coming out loud and proud and declaring the following
1. I am an Aussie white bloke of European descendancy!
2. I am heterosexual!
3. Although non religious I tend to believe in Christian
values/beliefs!

Halal Certification.
 
People ? what other religion or affiliates or their overarching organisations insist that not only our manufacturers conform to their religious standards and traditions and emboss or stamp their products with something like the Halal Certification mentioned above but the manufacturer also has to pay a fee for the privilege of doing so to a specific overarching Council for that religion????
 
Now if you read the attached including the URL you will see that some of the worlds largest international companies are participating and as such you don't have to be Einstein to envisage the possible funds & revenue this Islamic Council not only in Aussie but world wide would accumulate.
 
However as all these participating organisations are public companies and as such there is no doubt that in all cases the funds given as participating organisations flow on through their the pricing to all - not just Muslims - their consumers therefore indirectly the consumers are financially supporting the Muslim religion and therefore anyone they in turn decide to pass these funds onto???
 
Now obviously these companies donate world wide funds to sports, charities, political parties/organisations and the list goes on I am sure?
 
However I doubt that in these cases they are informed that if they do not do so their products and/or services will not be purchased by their followers and/or people involved in their organisations!!
 
So people forgive me for being a skeptic - but there again I don't really care whether you forgive me or not - but after being on the face of this earth for 74 plus years I cannot believe that some of these funds are not finding there way to Islamic Radicals, suicide bombers families after their deaths, terrorists even ISIS??
 
Therefore it is possible that Aussie Tax Payers are footing the bill for our military to attack the likes of ISIS who in turn are firing back at our troops with weaponry purchased with the funds donated by some Islamic Council which ofcourse were funds insisted upon by the various Islamic Councils from the participating 'Halal Certified' companies/organisations which in turn were recovered from the consumers of their products??
 
So in theory we Aussies are paying & consuming for products where the funds could contribute to the deaths and/or even maiming of our Aussie military??
 
To much of a conspiracy theory you reckon??
 
Well you would have to be bloody naive if you think that? because the majority of countries such as all Arabic! Indonesia! Pakistan! and the like where their dominating religion is Muslim are some of the most corrupt countries on the earth today and going back centuries so ? are we now to believe that Muslims via the Islamic Councils are to be trusted??
 
Bull shit!!!!! these Islamic Radicals thanks to the western powers past ineptitude and turn the other cheek mentality and look the other way " She'll be right mate " because we don’t wont to radicalise the Muslims especially their youth ? what is so special about Muslim youths that we should fear them compared to any other groups of Aussie youths in our society?? attitude they are now to powerful!!!!!!!
 
Anyway people if your happy with that then " Good on yeah " you deserve all you get so don't whinge when you get it !!

Dick Smith.
 
You may be aware that "Dick Smith"  chain franchise stores are being pressured by the Islamic Council of Australia to gain 'Halal Certification' otherwise they will be proscribed and banned from Muslim custom. This their response:
A MESSAGE FROM DICK SMITH.
"We at Dick Smith's have received a number of letters from people asking if we will be putting the Muslim Halal logo on our food.

To acquire Halal certification, payment is required to the endorsing body (the Islamic Council) and involves a number of site inspections of both our growers and processors in order to ensure that our practices comply with the conditions of Halal certification.

It is important to note that this does not reflect the quality of the food being processed or sold – it only means that the products are approved as being prepared in accordance with the traditions of the Muslim faith.

We are aware of an increasing number of large companies both in Australia and overseas, such as Kraft and Cadbury, who have obtained accreditation to use the Halal logo   We don’t believe they have done this because of any religious commitment but rather for purely commercial reasons.  Perhaps these large organisations can afford to do this.

While we have a choice however, we would prefer to avoid unnecessarily increasing the cost of our products in order to pay for Halal accreditation when this money would be better spent continuing to support important charitable causes where assistance is greatly needed.

We point out that we have never been asked to put a Christian symbol (or any other religious symbol) on our food requiring that we send money to a Christian organisation for the right to do so.

Others would add that money paid to ANY Muslim 'organisation'  (and you had better believe it: these people ARE 'organised')  can easily find its way into the hands of Islamic extremist-fanatics and murderers, irrespective of assurances to the contrary.

What other assurances do we accept from Muslims?

Oh, that's right,
'Islam is a religion of PEACE'!

How less Australian can companies get, than to place money into the hands of those who seek to exploit us?"

This is an example of how the leaders of Muslims in Aus/NZ are bullying large commercial organisations (especially in the food industry) into paying what is no more than blatant extortion money.  The amazing part is that these weak-kneed organisations (Cadbury/ Schweppes/  Nestles/ Krafts etc.) actually pay the large sums demanded by these self-appointed religious bureaucrats.   Of course, the manufacturers promptly pass this levy on to unwitting consumers as cost increases.  Next time you buy a block of Cadbury's chocolate, look for the Halal Certification seal on the wrapper.  So, regardless of your own religious faith, you end up subsidising Islam.

The Council also controls the Muslim voter bloc which, as yet, does not have sufficient critical mass to make a difference - but give them time.

Several state jurisdictions are under pressure to adopt or permit Sharia Law in Marriage, Family and Property matters and some, under the delusion that they are being progressively liberal, are permitting this.  This has already happened in some local authorities in the UK.

Google the U.K. Education Department's current investigation into the conduct of Muslim-run schools in the Birmingham area of England.

How many more warnings do people need?
