Last Sunday was the third Sunday of Lent, which means Easter isn’t far away, heralded by the return of those cute TV commercials for Cadbury chocolate Easter eggs and bunnies.

But did you know that those Cadbury Easter chocolates are halal certified?

Halal refers to foods that are permissible for Muslims to eat or drink under Islamic Sharia law. The foods addressed are mostly types of meat and animal tissue. The most common example of non-halal (or haraam) food is pork, but foods other than pork can also be haraam. Halal criteria include the food’s source, the cause of the animal’s death, and how it was processed:

But wait! Why would Cadbury have halal-certified Easter chocolates since Muslims don’t celebrate Easter, a Christian holiday?

The discovery that Cadbury has gone halal set off a firestorm of protests on Facebook (FB).

When questioned over her decision by other FB users who accused the woman of racism and intolerance, she defended herself saying it was not racist; it was her choice not to support a religion:

Below are all the Cadbury products that have been certified as halal compliant:

Pointing out that other food companies have also embraced halal, including Krispy Kreme, McDonalds, and Butter Ball, Walker gets to the real reason behind Muslims’ demand that companies like Cadbury be halal-compliant:

Of course, most chocolate and baked goods are Halal, they are also Kosher. In all my life I have yet to see them stamp Kosher on the Easter Bunnies to get them to sell to good Hebrews during Passover, have you? Nowadays you are bombarded with Halal demands for this and Halal demands for that…. So why the outrage? Because they can.

The more press they receive on this issue the more they control the media. The more they win in courts, the more control they have over the laws. The more they control the holidays, the more they control labor force. It isn’t about what is in the Cadbury egg, it is about money and control. Problem is it is an insult to all other people in this country. It’s not about freedom but domination.

OK, a couple things here.

First I use a saying that “There are no more pants” Maybe that’s to subtle.

What it means is are there no men any where with “Balls” to stand up to any adversity anymore? Feckless bunch in charge these days. It makes no sense to me to appease muzzies who won’t even buy this crap and piss off 80% Christian nation. I know this was discussed sometime back. Anyway…

Second I am so glad to be a Christian and not put up with these bullcrap and (Controlling) dietary laws. That’s what they are you know. I’m sorry but I believe these laws were imposed by the imans, and chief priests as a way of controlling the masses and enriching them selves.

If memory serves wasn’t St. Peter on a rooftop when he had a vision where he saw all the animals and whatnot and God, or whoever said I gave these all to man. You are permitted to eat all.

Yea I know that’s my faith and I don’t mean to discount anyone el
