King Mob wrote: » Ok. So what brands do you avoid because their are promoting kosher? Do you avoid buying Irish Pride? Glanbia? If not, why not?

No, I did not make that claim. I said the opposite... So now we are back to Kosher bakeries, as opposed to kosher slaughter. I have no problem with kosher bread and bakeries. They have a long history in Ireland. Particularly in parts of Dublin such as around the Grand Canal areas along South Circular Rd. where there used to be lots of them, but that whole area is now swamped with Muslims and Halal shops. Jews are in decline in Ireland, but Muslims are rapidly increasing. Even if I thought that Judaism was as malign as Islam (which I don't) the fact that one is disappearing and the other is doing the opposite, is relevant.

recedite wrote: » You're the one conflating the two different issues. Ritual animal slaughter without pre-stunning is one issue. That's an animal welfare issue. Buying Halal and Kosher bread is a different one. Its a minor consumer choice issue. If there are 4 different brands on the supermarket shelf, and they are all beside each other, and all taste much the same, its as easy to pick one as the other.
King Mob wrote: » Your objection to halal certified bread has nothing at all to do with animal slaughter
King Mob wrote: » So what is the issue with halal bread?
recedite wrote: » Correct.
recedite wrote: » Already explained.
King Mob wrote: » Do you have anything to show that halal certification requires paying annual certification fees to the Islamic centre? Is this something you or Gemma are making up?
The cost of the Halal certification for diary and food products consists of the following: •An initial fee of €1500-00 for site inspection to cover the travel, the administration and other expenses involved. •An annual certification fee. This is currently charged at €300 per year for each product.

King Mob wrote: You seem to be claiming that it's because of a fee supposedly paid to an Islamic centre. However, since you once again avoided a point that you find inconvenient, I will hazard a guess that that wasn't true either.

Clearly just speed read the headline, attached their bias to it and posted it as fact. Post truth at its worst. The real surprise would be if there was any substance or relevance in the article. But this is how Gemma and her type attract followers. They target thickos who spend too much time on Twitter and have a 280 character attention span. Easy pickings! Humiliating and sad.
