Darlings!!
As you can see I'm extremely miffed at this "Halal" controversy and situation that Malaysia seems to be facing and as can be read in Lilian's wonderful posting about Turkey not being Halal, I would add further and apply it to my own personal experience yesterday.
Yesterday was basically attending an Importer and Exporter meeting in my capacity of being a Director of a Cold Storage Company (beware darlings, you pissed me off, I shall set you in the freezer and let you freeze to death!!)
We were duly informed by the ever so pleasing fellow from the Jabatan Agama Islam that as of this year, only restricted amount of turkey's will be allowed into Malaysia and it will be based on a qouta system and for my cold storage, they will only get 60 birds!!! I was like!! WTF you stupid idiots!!! 60!! I have single clients who have ordered more than 60 birds from me!!
We were further informed that all hotels would not be having Roast Turkey on the menu as it is not classified as Halal and therefore, there will be no longer any need to bring in such a huge quota of turkey in this year!!
Furthermore, certain lambs and beef from New Zealand are also banned from being brought into Malaysia as they do not comply with the Malaysian Halal Certification but we will bring in beef from Venezuela and Brazil instead, which led me to argue as to how certain we are that Venezuelan and Brazilian beef are halal or not? They replied that this is in complying with the Ministry Ruling and how they ascertain on the Halal certification is up to the Ministry!! If any leg of lambs or beef are found in our warehouse cold storage, the Agency will proceed to confiscate and burn it. Hmmm? Are we dealing with livestock's or illegal drugs?? Burning of lambs and beef...how Jewish can we be...think Jewish Temple Offerings!!
Such stupidity of Halal or none Halal?
Why are we so concerned over the issue of halal certification or not? If Muslims are so scared that it is not halal, don't eat it!!! It does not mean that you have to stop selling it for all the other people out there who are non Muslims!!!
I mean, turkey ham and beef bacon is a result of this people who wish to enjoy the idea of eating bacon and ham or rather the flavour of it and that is why they came up with such ideas but I tell you, ham is PORK and Bacon is PORK not turkey or beef!!!
The reasoning that the hotel's will not be serving turkey this Christmas in the Menu and therefore we can restrict the number of turkey coming in this year is a further reason to show of the backward mind of this mindless people!! If the hotel is not serving it, then people will have no choice but to buy it themselves from the cold storage and roast it themselves and therefore there still will be a demand for turkey's and limiting it to 60 per company is basically going to inflate the price of turkey in Malaysia!!!
So, darlings, if you wish to have Roast turkey in your menu, you better start calling your local cold storage and ask them to reserve it for you before its all gone.
In the meantime, this fly is going to indulge in a Pork Ham and Eggs sandwich!!

even though we are muslim, nothing beats a good christmas turkey (try Nigella's receipe from FEast - DIVINE). So am extremely miffed to find that there is such a big deal about this. Norbest US in fact makes halal turkey - to be honest, I don't really care - but for some reason these have not been allowed in this year - do you know how many Muslims overseas eat non halal meat? And since when is gambling, (check out the number of Malays gambling in Australia and the UK) drinking, adultery (all those with second and third wives must have tried the goods beforehand) HALAL? What is happening to our society???? Am shocked at your report of 60 turkeys per company.
All those who have lambasted Muslims for preferring halal foods are not in "the know". The knowledge that the vast majority of world citizenry who are not Muslims have about Islam sadly will fit into an almond shell and still have room for the almond. I challenge the pretentious originator of this site to make the same miscievous and derrogatory hateful comments about kosher foods and see how fast she is labeled by orthodox and even atheist Jews as an anti-Semite and ignorant Jew-hater, and how fast they will demand that her site be shut down, whether they succeed or not. That's what halal is, folks! Very much like kosher food, which means that before an animal is slaughtered for consumption the name of God must be invoked, thanks is given for its sustenance, and all the blood is to be drained from the animal. Wrong, lady. Ham is not always pork, and bacon is not always pork, either. It is the method of cure, which can also be applied to beef, chicken, turkey, et alia. Are HAMburgers made from pork? Some people just love to hate. First it was the Native Americans (redskins, injuns), then the African Americans (niggers, spearchuckers, jungle bunnies), then Jews (kikes, hebes, Jewboys, cheap Jews), Chinese (chinks), Japanese (nips, Japs), Koreans (slants), Vietnamese (slopes ((referring to foreheads)) ), Germans (Jerries, krauts), Russians (commies, rooskies), Puerto Ricans (spics)and Mexicans (wetbacks and beaners), then Italians (wops and dagos), Irish (micks and drunks), Polish (pollocks), and now Arabs and Muslims as diaper heads, camel jockies, sand niggers, and aaaargh!!!! "terrorists". When you all tire of your hateful insults against Arabs and Muslims then who will be next? Hindus? Sikhs? Buddhists (gasp!)? Do us all a favor and go to Google and search for the poem Abou Ben Adhem, read it, and try to have the intelligence and heartwarmth to apply it.
