The same way i would know if i was interested in finding out.

Do you see many Muslims staring strangely at food whilst out shopping? Do you see them looking confused? Have you ever seen/heard a Muslim asking for information on foods halal status?

Nope. Sure they already know

Yes. Then the only reason people avoid halal certified bread is racism.
Glad we cleared that up finally.

Yes. They are all racists because they don't buy Brennan's halal bread.

You do know that the gardai encourage people to report blatant racism don't you?

Call into your local station and tell them about the racists not buying Brennan's bread

"But guard I saw him buying Pat the Baker in Tesco. He's a big racist"

Its not for me. It's to accommodate those who can only eat Halal. Good idea to let everyone know which products are Halal and which aren't

They already know though.

I'll just use the same answer you gave. I don't care

Excellent. I'd like to see this logo placed on products so they can be easily identified. Great news

Except that nothing in Catholism or Judism precludes practitioners from eating halal certified bread. So religion is not a reason.

Secondly, eating halal certified bread does not "support Islam".
And boycotting companies because they "support Islam" what ever that means sounds a bit racist/xenophobic to me to be honest. This is especially so if say people, like people on this thread, only avoid bread linked to Islam and not also to other religions such as kosher certified bread.

So again, no valid reasons here.

Yes. That seems to be the majority of moaners here and those who follow Gemma.

So far you have not given any valid reasons beyond racism.

That's simply not true though.
Not sure why you have to lie about this stuff...

Some people yes. Others like Jewish or Catholic people might avoid it because they are a different religion and don't want to support Islam or accommodate companies that do.

So ask your local supermarkets to supply one so, that way you can avoid the icky halal food that triggers you so badly.

Halal aisles and counters would work. I'm all for it

Yes, but that doesn't explain the why though.
You keep dodging that cause you can't answer it.

"Why do you avoid halal certified."
"just cause I can and picked it at random"

Do you really think that's why some people are avoiding it?

If i said i dont eat Brussel sprouts, pork or any other item.and you asked me why then i would explain. When you are asked your answer is .... just because.

Are you afraid to give your real reason?

Muslims already know because they can quicky search a product, as can you if you have concerns.

Why would you like to see it rolled out in ireland? So Muslims can shop easier?

Well it can't possibly be racism. So red et al must have just suddenly had random inspiration to just avoid brennan's bread for no logical reason at all.
Gemma was just warning people in case of their random flashes of oddly specific mania.

Halal certified labels on food are comon in many other countries. It helps Muslims know which foods they can and can't be eaten. Id like to see it rolled out here.

Do you think it will happen?

It's a very silly answer that isn't a likely one. In fact i think it's just one you pulled out of the air because you couldn't provide an actual reason.

So my point remains: there is no valid reason to avoid halal bread.
Anyone who is doing so is mostly likely doing so for racist reasons unless they can provide one that is not racist.
So far, none of the moaners here have done so.

Still open to hearing one, but not holding my breath.

Halal and kosher symbols are placed on food labels in Australia. Would you like to see the same here?

I don't really care.

King Mob wrote: »

Your answer being that a person might just wake up one day and for no reason at all randomly decide to never eat halal certified food?

Sorry, that's a very silly answer and I don't think it's very realistic.

So there are no reasons as I've said.

No, I'm not going to answer an off topic question of no relevance when I've been unable to get a straight answer to my question for these dozen odd pages.

You have your answer. You don't have to accept it. I don't really care.

Surely it benifits our Muslim and Jewish friends. They know what they are permitted to purchase and eat

How is it off topic. We have been going back and forth about halal food haven't we.

Again you are avoiding a very simple direct question. The only explanation for this is that you are deliberately avoiding because you can't answer it.

There is no reason to avoid halal certified bread beyond simple racist.

But that's not an answer I'm afraid, please try again.

What reason would someone have for avoiding halal certified bread?

Just "I woke up one day and decided not to out of the blue for no other reason" is not realistic.

Again, it's a very simple question, yet you've been doing your very best to avoid answering it.

If you can't think of a reason, please just say so.
It's really not difficult or anything.
