Where is the controversy?

You don't like what a store offers or how they do business, don't patronize.

My supermarket has ethnic sections of food and it doesn't bother me any.
Some pretty good imports there if you ask me. We have a Chinese section, Jewish section and Mexican section..that's my description..the store just has "ethnic foods" as the label.

Well that would be ridiculous since all I've done is post a link to a news story.

I agree with the opinion that says these are private companies. If someone doesn't like their policies, they're free to shop elsewhere. It doesn't bother me at all if a company markets their products to Muslims.

It was funny to read that they dubbed the new McDonald's chicken "terror chicken" which forced McD to remove it. LOL..good for them.

Naw, AUM is just anti-Walmart and other big companies.

Actually I am not sure that he wasn't one of the people who tried to convince me that we don't really have a lot of Muslims in this country. I really believe that most businesses are in business to make money and when there are enough people of any kind in their area they will try to sell to them.

I am saying that there are enough Muslims in our country for our government to start worrying about them being too large an ethnicity. I have said over and over that they will take over here when there are enough of them here but many of the liberal line of thinking just can't see that at all. I am pretty sure that we could get along without them, but who ships them out?

Last I heard, religious tolerance was one of the reasons that this nation was founded. I don't have a problem with people being of any religion.

But you should be given the information that the meat was produced by a ritual religious slaughter.

You might think twice about buying that meat/meal.

I don't buy Halal anything due to the ritual prayer to Allah done during slaughter and the means of slaughter. Those are just my principals.

Advertise the meat is Halal and then people are free to choose.

"Muslim" isn't an ethnicity. And i couldn't possibly care less about how many more Muslims we have. In fact, the more the merrier.

As for "who ships them out," since you suggested it, why don't you get a group together and attempt it?
