Who are you to decide how others should feel or what they want? Could I sell a product to Muslims and not tell them there is pork in it? We eat pork here all the time sure what difference does it make to them?

A palm tree product? Vegan ? Kosher? Gluten-free? Etc Some are for medical reasons some are religious and some are personal. It's not for anyone else to decide. So again mind your own business about why some might choose one product instead of another. Half of your problems are because you all spend too much time sticking your oar into other people's choices. There is a whole group of you busy bodies on here trying to fill a hole in your lives. Stay in your lane Throwing out the racist tag at everything you don't agree with yet I guarantee if any of you saw real racism in real life you would look away and not speak up.

King Mob wrote: » Again, you are misrepresenting arguments to act superior. Most breads are inherently halal. The are halal whether or not they have certification. Brennan's bread was most likely always halal. The issue being discussed is halal certification. We're trying to find out what reason someone might have to avoid halal certified products. We've discovered that it's not an animal welfare issue, as that's not relevant and the same moaners aren't avoiding kosher products. We also know that it's not due to the money being used for illicit purposes as there's no evidence at all for such illict purposes and the same moaners enjoy kosher products despite not knowing where that money goes. So what's left. Why are people opposed to halal certification to the point they'll avoid a product? So far, the most likely reason we can see is that they don't like muslim stuff because it's muslim. This is evidenced by people using terms like "dirty" and "barbaric" to refer to halal food. Do you have an alternative explanation? The moaners don't seem to have one. Again, why are you opposed to people pointing out this? Why are you so triggered by the term racism?
Blueshoe wrote: » No not we. You have decided. And you want everyone else to follow or else they are a racist. Seems like you are against free choice and speech as anyone who disagrees with you or your pals is called a racist. Mind your own business.
King Mob wrote: » But you see, you're not actually reading or addressing my posts. You are making a straw man argument and trying to reduce my position to something silly. My position is that the moaners have been offered the chance to explain their objections and show how they are based on something other than racism.# They have failed to do so. No one here has said someone can't boycott anything. They can if they like. We however can point out that their reasons for doing so are silly and racist. You are saying that we are not allowed to point this out. And again: calling something from a different culture "dirty" or "barbaric" is racist. You can disagree if you like, but "no it isn't" or "islam isn't a race" isn't an argument.
Blueshoe wrote: » So if someone chooses not to buy a halal certified product just because it is Halal they are a racist? That's the basics of your point
King Mob wrote: » No, that's a strawman of my argument that you are making after ignoring all of my post. You are very desperate to pretend than anyone using the term racist must be over reacting. To answer the question directly: It depends, do they have a reason for avoiding halal certified bread that isn't racist? If so, what is it? So far, no one has provided a consistent reason that isn't hypocritical, irrelevant or racist in a different way. So if this person you are refering to has a good reason, then no, he might not be racist. I would have to hear the reason first. Again, why are you trying to prevent people from pointing out racism? Why does that bother you?

But that's not what I was doing though, once again you are being dishonest and misrepresenting my position. Know what would solve this right quick: Provide a reason, any reason to avoid halal certified bread that isn't stupid or racist. Not sure why that would be so hard if there is legit reasons.
