 Posted on 11th September 2004 16:01Many do not even care to find out. Should the owner, managers, directors & main bodies of these restaurants, take aways & companies not know that we Muslims do actually care about Halal & Haram? I want to hear the Muslims view on this. The Ulamaa will also give their verdicts on here regarding eating in these places.

Posted on 13th September 2004 10:59 well.. u know wot bruv (another alfaaaz ive learnt) All this Mc'donaldshonalds...pitza-sheetza wagaira wagaira restaurant all do give us ppl the option to ASK if the food they are providing is "halaal" the thing is us ppl fall into the misconception that if everything that is "suitable for vegeterians" it is automatically halaal....unfortunately thats not always the case...there was this scare at ur local McDon's a while back that the chipz were cooked in the same thail... i mean oil as the other haraam products (i dunno must b their keema burger) and well... thats DISGUSTING...HAINA? bilkul daroost!! (means totally correct. So imagine that ppl...eating chipz that have been cooked in the same oil as their haram product... so all u uk'erz watch out. I went to pizzahut yday..and again i was gonna tuck into this choclate fudge cake...then i realised ...there was no vegiterian signal on it.. i called for the waiter and informed me... that it contained ingrediants that are NOT suitable for vegeterians, i was devastated (i bet u all as well) so see... yasin bhai it's a good issue u have raised...but the responsibilty is ours to ASK...and not simply do paait pooja at these restuarants. You know wot...i've forgotten the initial topic...it was to do with asking right? o well ASK! i best go now.. wasalamu alaikum aap ka aapna WASIM! :)

Posted on 6th October 2004 09:25 As you may be aware, these places do not have the best record of saying the truth. Majority do not know the difference between suitable for vegetarians & Halaal. I myself has asked regarding suitability and it took more than 5 minutes for me to explain. By then my hunger was gone. The point i'm making is that asking is not enough. We can not just take their word for it as all they see is money, and all we see are the juicy burgers. In that case, eventually, no one will care and also Kuffar will see that the way to good business is just say it is Halaal. Yes, if you are saying we ask and then try look into it in a little detail, then you make a good valid point but simply asking is not an option, it's just filling ur tummies.

Posted on 31st October 2004 05:38 I dont see anything wrong in that, in fact i see a need for that. So good topic raised here. Bro Ridwan, i heard about HMC a while ago but they're moving very very slow in London. Many shops, take aways, providers etc haven't even heard about them. I pray they succeed in their efforts, Ameen.

Posted on 7th December 2004 16:36 To tell u the truth, in my own area, i have noticed how many Muslims have stopped McD's. My cousin sister who's mum brought sumfin at a really cheap price from marks & spencers (howeva it's spelt) said, "Why but from there? It's a Yahood company who sponsor the Israeli army" in anger. Her mum said something like it was so cheap, almost at cost price, i doubt they even made profit on it. So she replied, "Even if they made a penny or two, it's probably enough to cover the cost of a bullet which could soon hit a child in palestine." That kinda shook her mum Alhamdulillah There's people with those kind of concerns too so Alhamdulillah it aint just me or you. There's people everywhere with the same concerns and in fact, seeing hundreds of new offers at these McD's, Coke etc, the only meaning i can take is how many Muslims have stopped going or buying and how much business they have lost. Also, I can tell you one more thing, there are more ppl starting the boycott than ending it. So if the Guest is so proud of Jewish economy and thinking it wont make a difference, hear me out bro/sis, "It has made a difference"

Posted on 7th December 2004 19:55 I'm sure there are many ways to convince Muslims of this, but the best method I think is simply let them know what their money can be spent on and the damage it can do. That can get to the heart of someone who cares. If anyone has links to sites of Shaikh's who have spoke about this boycott, please let me know. Jazak... Wsalam

Posted on 9th December 2004 11:49 If it has, I'd like to see some evidence. The whole boycotting mentality followed to its logical conclusion would mean that no Muslim would be able to live in the United States. Every Citizen contributes through taxes to the wealth of the US. The US contributes millions of dollars to Israel and in turn Israel buys weapons which are used against Muslims. The logical conclusion to this is we shouldn't contribute to the wealth of the US. This means boycotting most food, drink, car, clothing, etc companies. It also means that those Muslims in the US need to relocate. The United kingdom joins in most military campaigns waged by the US and is 100% supportive of their. The UK special forces work in close coalition with the US military. Every UK citizen pays taxes which contribute to the British military which in turn is used by the US Which as already established supports Israel with weapons and wealth. So in order for the boycott to work we all need to stop paying taxes. We can't do that while living in the UK so we all need to leave and relocate to a Muslim country. I'm sure you'd agree that the whole idea of every muslim leaving the US and UK is a stupid one. Boycotting certain products is fine if you feel it helps. However terms like "cousin Sister"(considering your cousin a sister) do more visible damage to the ummah than having a nokia in your pocket. Just my opinion and seeing as the admins probably disagree I expect this to be deleted.

This is not something that the media have statistics about. This is not something which leaves physical evidence behind once someone starts. This is not something where open surveys are carried out. This is more of an individual effort rather than an open group effort. You asking for proof is one of the reasons many of your posts have been moved, not erased. Quote:

You mentality is, what's the point of saving Israel from one bullet when so much of the wealth is going to Israel anyway? Firstly, do you not agree that knowing where the profit is ending up, like some led in an innocent palestinian child, it would "logically" be wiser not buy from there? Secondly, If you had a stack of money, say 1 million pounds, it was burning and the burning reached £600,000. I'm sure you would save the other £400,000 and not keep this mentality of yours that why boycott and save little amounts when most of it is already gone! As for the cousin sister statement. I'm sure she's already made a massive difference. Not only does your statement not make any sense, it also sounds like her actions (as well as many others' actions) has effected you in some way. If you do not wish to be supportive towards the Muslims and cause Fitnah, please consider Rule 2.8 before saying your post might be erased. This matter will be left in the hands of the Ulamaa to judge whether the purpose is Fitnah, or benefit.
