    Back in your box.

    Do they label the food in supermarkets in the UK?

    They have halal aisles and counters in some stores, as for individual items? I don't know because i don't look.

    So ask your local supermarkets to supply one so, that way you can avoid the icky halal food that triggers you so badly.

    Its not for me. It's to accommodate those who can only eat Halal. Good idea to let everyone know which products are Halal and which aren't

    Some people yes. Others like Jewish or Catholic people might avoid it because they are a different religion and don't want to support Islam or accommodate companies that do.
    Except that nothing in Catholism or Judism precludes practitioners from eating halal certified bread. So religion is not a reason.

    Secondly, eating halal certified bread does not "support Islam".
    And boycotting companies because they "support Islam" what ever that means sounds a bit racist/xenophobic to me to be honest. This is especially so if say people, like people on this thread, only avoid bread linked to Islam and not also to other religions such as kosher certified bread.

    So again, no valid reasons here.

    Yes. That seems to be the majority of moaners here and those who follow Gemma.

    So far you have not given any valid reasons beyond racism.

    But we don't have any symbols or logos on our food products so people don't know what is or isn't halal certified.
    That's simply not true though.
    Not sure why you have to lie about this stuff...:confused:

    Yes. Then the only reason people avoid halal certified bread is racism.
    Glad we cleared that up finally.

    Yes. They are all racists because they don't buy Brennan's halal bread.

    You do know that the gardai encourage people to report blatant racism don't you?

    Call into your local station and tell them about the racists not buying Brennan's bread

    "But guard I saw him buying Pat the Baker in Tesco. He's a big racist"

    Lol. How do they know

    The same way i would know if i was interested in finding out.

    Do you see many Muslims staring strangely at food whilst out shopping? Do you see them looking confused? Have you ever seen/heard a Muslim asking for information on foods halal status?

    Why not though? Halal certified bread is very healthy.
    Tap water is halal certified by the way.
    So are potatoes.
    I doubt that.

    But feel free to post a link to the relevant Halal certificates, if you are not lying.

    But the gardai will attempt to prosecute blatant racists. Your pal is fully convinced. He has called it out probably 50 times at this stage.

    But you are once again childishly misrepresenting my position.

    I have gone to great pains giving these moaners and yourself the oppertunity to actually explain the alternate reasons.
    You've failed to do so, as none exist.

    Again, I'm just pointing this out after taking the time to see if there is perhaps more to it than that.

    This seems to upset you for some reason. So perhaps, you shouldn't read the thread for fear of triggering yourself.

    If you aware of blatant racism it's your civic duty to report it.

    But I don't believe it's blatant racism in the way that requires police intervention.

    Do you think that this has scored a point or something :confused:

    Hi red, I've made several points to you that have gone unaddressed.
    Could you perhaps address them before bringing up another entirely random topic?
    Thanks.

    There are no points. From your comments you seem to be convinced that there is blatant racism being committed by those who avoid Brennan's bread.
    If you are so sure perhaps you should report it.

    It's the right thing to do. It will put you at ease also.

    I've made many. You just ignored them.

    Now this is something most of us learn pretty early on, but ignoring something and pretending it doesn't exist doesn't make something go away.

    And again, this is a pretty childish misrepresentation.
    The point of which still escapes me.

    Why would I report some one for not buying bread?:confused:
