Good luck avoiding pig related products, interesting project about this is here details where all the bits from 1 slaughtered pig can possibly end up.

PIG 05049
Christien Meindertsma has spent three years researching all the products made from a single pig. Amongst some of the more unexpected results were: Ammunition, medicine, photo paper, heart valves, brakes, chewing gum, porcelain, cosmetics, cigarettes, conditioner and even bio diesel.
Meindertsma makes the subject more approachable by reducing everything to the scale of one animal. After it's death, Pig number 05049 was shipped in parts throughout the world. Some products remain close to their original form and function while others diverge dramatically. In an almost surgical way a pig is dissected in the pages of the book - resulting in a startling photo book where all the products are shown at their true scale (1:1).

If you think Halal cert goes to fund Islam jihad or whatever ******** then you need to work out which side of the racism fence to be on.
This post sure is going to show the closet racists.
Actually, i wasn't thinking of the jihadists at all. I was thinking that at the top of the fat cat chain who own and run the organisation in question, the money just disappears overseas. Racist? Coming from a family tree with about every colour in the rainbow i doubt it. Personally, i couldn't give a rats arse if someone is black, white brindle or polkadot. Don't care if someone worships anything of any type behind any door and i'll happily eat drink and laugh and co-exist with any of the above, provided my family are allowed to continue our way of life uninterupted & without paying for theirs.

Couple of interesting reads:

Interesting read about the chicken farmer and about the sharia advisors.

Not to mention those who need to look up the word racist.
 
racist[ rey-sist ]

noun1. a person who believes in racism
, the doctrine that a certain human race is superior to any or all others.

adjective1. of or like racists or racism
: racist policies; racist attitudes.

big·ot (bĭg′ət)"

n."One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.
 
I also don't get how the ADL can be feeding it to coopers when they are the last "big" brewery that is still entirely Australian owned. So they are looking to expand their market share and maybe even export some malt products to the middle east, surely that is only doing good for the country they say they are trying to defend.
 
Coopers are one of the biggest malt producers for the food & confectionary industry. They export a lot of malt overseas to muslum countries.

Yep that's my point, surely this is to the benefit of Australia. Why would somebody who claims to be standing up for Australia want to stop that. Like most of the ADL doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

Glad we cleared that one up, just so all folks not affiliated with any form of religion, not particulary nationalistic or political, but who choose to voice an opinion - even distain - about unsolicited practices involving of their foodstuff can feel free to do so without fear of being branded racist any more than some bloke who once attempted to use a page or two of an standard hotel room issue king James (placed by the Gideons..) bible to roll a joint should be branded anti semitic.

Of course, the pages were removed from the book of numbers..
..erm..so I was told..



Boom -tish!
 
Voicing an opinion is one thing, but directing hate towards someone based on ideology is another.

The ADL are really no better than radical Islamist fundamentalists as they both push the same agenda, just from opposite sides.
 
I see your point, but have there been any ADL suicide bombers? There are different levels of extreme.
 
Social media: handing the megaphone to idiots.

In other news, the world continues to be have arseholes posing as habitats and then we have Australia.

Be interesting to see what would happen if you gave them a gun or bomb and dropped them outside your local friendly mosque

probably not much at all. I agree that they are a bunch of idiots, but their stance seems to be anti-religious, not fundamentalist, which I have a lot more sympathy for (well, more than none). If only they applied it to all theistic religions..

There is a stark difference between "I don't like you, get outta my town" and "I am doing god's work by killing you"
 
True they are no more than a bunch of bigoted racists...but they are fueling hate and intolerance and it only takes one brainwashed idiot to cross the line.

They aren't anti-religion. they are very big on our "Christian" traditions.

What they they are really against is anyone not white. "Muslim" is just a code for 'brown"

Edit: Fark I wish my fingers worked properly.

Fair enough. By anti-religious I meant anti-muslim, & based my assumption on a 5min skim of one of their facebook pages (https://www.facebook.com/pages/ADL-Australian-Defence-League/213679261984140), didn't see anything mentioning christianity (but I guess it could be implied, or other ADL groups might). Still not sure how christian tradition equates to fundamentalism.

It's halal if it's not expressly forbidden in the qu'aran. Halal doesn't need to be approved as such. Halal also refers to actions in life.

The insistence that they welcome all walks of life as long as they all walk one way of life does not make ADF a bunch of equality loving civil libertarians, no matter how attractively they try and paint themselves. They are a far right group spreading misinformation and fear and encouraging scapegoating.

Not sure why coopers need malt to be expressly halal. It's already halal unless they put pork mince or something in it.
Alcohol made with malt on the other hand...
ADL not ADF. ADF cause enough problems of their own without being lumped in with these guys.
 
But the ADL target ADF for members so than can use the " these guys are fighting for our ( white ) country " to garner suport and credability.
 
Do the Seventh Day Aventists whinge and harp on about approved foods and what not, naaaaaah they just don't eat pork, it ain't hard for them, but for some other mob it's gotta gotta have a symbol and certificate.
 
Vegan Bacon, that's a new one.

U mean bacon substitute right.... :)

Edited the original post to correct my whoopsie.

Of course the anti-defamation league is another ADL at the other end of the spectrum.
 
Apparently animal 'souls' can talk just the same as any other after death. You should make a trip and find out the truth yourself, ADL still accepting recruits for the bomber division?

this thread is starting to remind me of this classic:
