Halal Vegemite? What next?
Islamic organisations are now fighting back to protect a
billion dollar industry that thrives on labelling Australian products as “halal
certified”. Now that the extortion racket has been exposed, Aussie shoppers
are shunning the “certified” products to the dismay of Australian manufacturers
and processors.
An avalanche of Australian
companies are now declaring their products as “non-halal certified” to protect
their domestic market, and the Muslim mobsters who control the racket are
incensed at their potential loss of income.
Not to be outdone, Islamic certification activists, who go by the names
of Charkawi Wesam and Abu Hanifa, are fighting back, naming and shaming
Australian companies who are refusing to pay (or who are avoiding paying)
outrageous sums of money to be “certified” as halal.
The implication is that Australian companies must first make their
products halal compliant so they can be “certified”. Those that refuse will
suffer trade bans.
Arnott’s, who has been resisting threats to its export markets from
Muslims, is described thus on their web site:
“Arnott's clearly states that its "non-halal" status extends
to 'every product' bearing the name "Arnott's" even the non-cream
biscuits and Tim Tams. The company has clearly demonstrated a reluctance to
change its stance on this community issue.”
The site http://www.nothalalaustralia.com.au/ declares
in respect of Flora products:
"Pork based gelatin is contained in Flora and Pro-activ Light,
Ultra Light and Flora Pro-activ Olive spreads. Whilst there are some products
'Flora Original' that are certified 'halal' by AFIC (The Australian Federation
of Islamic Councils) people need to be aware of the Pork Based ones. An
investigation is continuing to determine the process and contamination factors
that require compliance before halal can be granted.”
In relation to Golden Circle products the site states:
“Alcohol based flavours are used across some of the products of the
Golden Circle and Original Juice Co. juice and orange ranges. Furthermore,
after speaking directly to Golden Circle, it is clear that alcohol is used to
derive certain flavours. The flavours are used and it is claimed that the
alcohol is burnt off. However, with no oversight or some minimal monitoring in
the very least, nothing can be substantiated.”
No “monitoring” will commence until the
fees (of up to $30,000 pm) are paid.
The site claims this about Smiths Chips:
“Smiths advocates a clear status of non-Halal certified, but says
instead - that their products are ‘Suitable for Vegans.’ This means that some
of their products do not contain any animal products. It must be noted that
when it comes to food, the assumption is non-permissibility until it is proven
Halal. Therefore, the onus is for Smiths to prove why they are Halal and simply
claiming suitability for vegetarian without any oversight, and possible cross
contamination work methods cannot be ruled out.”
“Smiths states that seeking Halal certification is on their agenda and
they have been responsive to calls made.”
[Typos, grammar and misspelled words have been corrected to make the
above quoted material more legible.]
It is clear that pressure is being applied to Australian processors to
either comply with halal requirements or risk exports being cancelled.
One Queensland exporter has lost his entire Indonesian market by
refusing to comply with Muslim certifiers’ demands.
Another NSW processor, who held out against Muslim demands for massive
“certification fees”, eventually had to capitulate to save his business but was
fined for not complying when asked to and made to pay loaded back-fees
applicable to when he was first told to pay up.
All Australian exporters are being targeted in a world-wide $2.5
trillion extortion racket run out of Saudi Arabia with an Asian arm in
Indonesia (MUI) that oversees dozens of certifying agencies here in Australia
.
Certifiers make a quick phone call to Islamic importers overseas and
Australian exporters who refuse to comply are told to pay up or lose their
export markets.
The web site also states this:
"Not Halal Australia is now coordinating nation wide with other halal
organisations and scholars to determine companies that attempt to avoid halal
certification."
The ABC and Fairfax (along with a certain radio station that advertises
and promotes the discredited Arab Bank) naively believe “halal” is all about
the inhumane slaughter of animals but if Minister Barnaby Joyce decides to return
my calls, I will hand him proof of a massive extortion racket raising
“certification” funds that go to terrorist organisations, laundered through
"charity" front companies here in Australia.
You obviously don’t want to rock the boat Barnaby, so we will, and you
better have your swimmers handy!
