Poll of the Day > A facebook friend thinks sharia law is taking over canada because halal-food

(+) Yeah! (+)

Ugh

edit:
exact quote

This is from a tin of Tomato Soup made here in Canada by Campbells. Halal certified. The term "halal" means "permissible" in Arabic and refers to all areas of life governed by Islamic laws. Why are Islamic laws allowed in Canada? Will never eat campbells soup again.

I'd rather eat halal than Monsanto.

That's a bit of a stretch. I'd focus more on the whole "welcoming return isis fighters back" thing, if that's the direction you wanna go in

I have not seen posts like that on the facebook yet... I can't wait to slap some ignoramuses.

One time when I worked in the deli we had a halal sign (because the chickens were halal) and my coworker told me to take it down because she thought it looked like an ISIS symbol

I was just completely taken aback

I guess she thinks Jewish laws are rampant as well.

I guess when there are ignorant people confusing the name Isis and the terrorist group, one might have to go with the lowest denominator and assume the worse. Ironic though. Sometime those calling out others for being "special snowflakes" are just as much of a "special snowflake".

On another note, I really wonder how often some folks are concern when they hear someone talk in Arabic. Having been born and raised in Southern California and hearing a mix of languages, it doesn't feel out of place. Hell, even the story of the someone concern over a fellow passenger doing math on a plane seem far-fetch but I wouldn't it past some people if they see something they're not familiar with.

Everyone knows that kosher food is just a terrorist plot to destabilize the west!!!

If you're trying to do it subtly, that would be the first step.

Not saying your friend is right, but jesus OP, you don't even consider it's right so you might as well be Muslim now.

Plenty of people believe that Jews secretly control the world, so that's just proof!

Not directly related but was having lunch with coworkers some weeks ago and somehow the conversation led to us talking about one coworker, her husband, how they seem to be loaded, having a house for their age in California, etc.

We think he works for a lab of some sort. It was mentioned she and her husband are Armenian and soon as that was mentioned that, one coworker was "Oh yea, Armenians have their network and stuff, doesn't surprise me they're loaded".

Part of me was thinking, "Are you sure it isn't because she's an engineer and he probably gets paid well at his lab that they are well off instead of the fact that they're Armenian?" Just seemed like such a bizarre response to why so-n-so are well-off.

Granted as I kid I use to think all Japanese American are well-off but that's only because at the time my interaction with Japanese Americans was limited to just those I knew. As an adult I had a bigger exposure and it was obvious my view of Japanese Americans wasn't the case.

Why are Campbells forcing their tomatoes to live under Islamic law?!

I hit a local halal spot several times a week for good cheap food.

I've never been more serious about anything in my life.

Except for that time I was refused N word privileges. That was like Holocaust 2.0.

I'm from the south and its not that bad here either. As stereotypical as it is a lot of middle easterners run gas stations where I grew up.

One guy even favored a younger Osama. Thick long beard but a baseball cap instead of the turban.
