Some Campbell’s soups get halal-certified, people go nuts
This could be something out of the Twilight Zone, because we’re pretty sure it’s not an elaborate piece of performance art left over from Nuit Blanche. Campbell’s of Canada went out of its way to get some of its soups certified as halal—that is, to comply with Muslim dietary laws—and a bunch of people are protesting the move. There’s now a Facebook group calling for a boycott of Campbell’s Soup because it “supports The Muslim Brotherhood.” As of right now, 2,343 people “like” this.
This soup controversy comes hot on the heels of the U.K. firestorm over how some supermarkets were selling halal meat without labeling it as such. The reaction was similar in that customers complained that accommodating Muslims in this way was a bridge too far.
So, to recap:
1) Label food as halal? Intolerable, dhimmitude, boycott.
2) Don’t label food as halal? Intolerable, boycott.

• Boycott Campbell Soup [Facebook]){kind=link}
Do these stupid bigotts boycott kosher items too? are they going to start a boycott kosher meals page on facebook too.
Why do you care what other ppl eat. get a life.
Maybe this world has gone bonkers, hahahahaha.
I will start a organic hater food site bc hippies waste our time and smell funny??
MUAHAHAAHAHAH
I bet all these 2343 Haters Eat HALAL Shawaarma’s atleast 5 times any given year lol
Bigots, racists? Get your heads out of our behinds. See thing is way before there were many MUslims in North America, there were Jews. Did Campbell’s soup mae a VARIETY of soups kosher? Nope. Now had the soups been kosher, Muslims and Jews would be able to eat their products. Now because it is halal, Jews may not eat halal. Why were not the soups make kosher? Dunno…Now has Campbell’s soup made a political statement? and the ISNA label according to website Atlas Shrugs does support the Muslim Brotherhood. so those of you who are ha-ha-ing come talk to me in 10-15 years from today.
Why were not the soups make kosher? Dunno…Now has Campbell’s soup made a political statement?
Are you insane? Campbell’s is a business, they’re hardly making a “political statement” with this, it’s pure supply and demand. If folks who eat halal don’t buy the soups they’ll disappear from the product line fairly sharpish. And as for the uproar in the UK over KFC and other precious fast foods ……
I agree Roz! Canadians need to understand what the mandate is for these crazies!!! Stop entertaining these camel-jockeys…before it’s too late!!!
Thats the problem these days… people immediately jump to political and religious arguments and fail to realize that everything comes down to making money. Campbells wants to make more money and maybe losing the 2000 or so odd morons boycotting the product is worth opening their soup line to thousands more. Hmmm… a novel idea isn’t it?
speaking of haters and bigots, “Atlas Shrugs” website is a pure hate-a-thon and is as objective as any Taliban website. When you quote it you say something about yourself.
Ask any of your political reps, city, province or federal why lawlessness and racism are being funded at the New Hibret Housing Coop.. direct complaints about this are continually ignored.. Is it because the racist bigots are Ethiopian Muslims? How can Ethiopian Muslims possibly be racist..
Are these people serious? Why do they care if some company chooses to meet the specific dietary needs of some of the members of its target demographic, without impacting the needs of the remainder of that demographic? Any objection to such a move drips menacingly with the kind of hatred and xenophobia that brings shame to a pluralistic country like Canada. We Canadians are better than that. Although we will defend to the death the right of those objectioners to object, people should remember the difference between freedom and licence – just because we have the right to express an opinion doesn’t mean that we should become complacent with the use of that right to spread hate.

You disgusting racists.
It’s water, salt and vegetables. Really, who gives a sh*t?
Talk is cheap. Lying to advance Islam IS PART OF THEIR RELIGION–it’s called taqiyya. Once you know this, you can understand all the contradictions between history and present verbal behavior.
Don’t take the word of anyone who follows a religion of taqiyya. Look at the actions and the history. “But it would be such a BIG and barefaced lie.” Well, that’s the technique and it fools the lazy.
