This is frankly, stunning to me. But is 100% consistent with a brief few paragraphs I wrote a week or so ago (Item 5 in this post) about the process of slipping into dhimmitude in a way unique to Islam.
In essence the process goes like this:
1. Muslims reasonably ask for the right to bring their own food to communal eating places.
2. Muslims demand that non-muslims not make food available at all which are especially offensive to them such as pork or products from pigs.
3. Muslims demand that the only food which is available at all is specifically the food tailored for islamic religious purposes and anyone caught with food that is not so consecrated and prepared will be asked either not to eat at all, or be removed from the premises as we saw last week in the UK.
and now we have a 4.
No mention of non halal foods can be made in public such as advertising of pork and so on.
It is quite possible that had this advertiser not complied with the complaints of one muslim woman, there would be some kind of community cohesion charge against him or Eric Holder would be outside his restaurant making speeches about what a racist he is.
Gates of Vienna has this to say:
Please do not underestimate the importance of this. While this story isn’t as sexy as bombs going off and people being killed or ritually dismembered, the effect of it is identical. This is the end game muslims work for by doing terrorism. To force us to comply with any and all islamic demands by any random muslim even, and perhaps especially, if it means a radical departure from our own laws, culture and constitutionally declared rights.
Please recognize that this is an important story.
Eeyore for Vlad.
Yea… And they feed it to unsuspecting soldiers, school kids and customers in Britain. And more. Lets remind our selves… (And of course then there is all the “other baggage” that goes hand in hand with halal food – like all the unnecessary suffering of animals, plenty of “halal crime” like money laundering, support for militant groups, ect. – but that may be a topic for another day.)

“IMPORTANT FACT: If there is no halal food available, then a Moslem is allowed to eat non-halal food.
SOURCE: World faiths: Teach yourself – Islam by Ruqaiyyah Maqsood.
ISBN 0-340-60901-X. Page 204
Surah 2:173 states:
‘If one is forced because there is no other choice, neither craving nor transgressing, there is no sin in him.’
Simply saying “Bismallah” (In the name of Allah) over it made it permissible to eat.
So it seems that when the Moslems are in non-Islamic countries, it’s OK for them to eat non-halal food… the only requirement according to Sharia Law is to pray before consuming non-halal foods.” Koran 5:3 Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah that which hath been killed by strangling or by a violent blow or by a headlong fall or by being gored to death; that which hath been (partly) eaten by a wild animal; unless ye are able to slaughter it (in due form); that which is sacrificed on stone (altars); (forbidden) also is the division (of meat) by raffling with arrows: that is impiety. This day have those who reject faith given up all hope of your religion: yet fear them not but fear Me. This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed my favor upon you and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. But if any forced by hunger with no inclination to transgression Allah is indeed Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful.
The endless Islamic demands for halal food are a control technique, just as much of their whining for concessions are, many of their “religious obligations” also have a “get-out” clause such as this verse. The verse also “perfects” their religion at the point in time it was allegedly ‘descended’, rendering all earlier verses obsolete (technically). Not that they pay any attention to that, IF it doesn’t suit their political aims.
BTW: The eating of “Halal” meat is forbidden to Christians:
Acts 15:28-29: ‘It is the decision of the Holy Spirit and of us, not to place on you any burden beyond these necessities, namely, to abstain from MEAT SACRIFICED TO IDOLS, from blood, from meats of strangled animals, and from unlawful marriage. If you keep free of these, you will be doing what is right. Farewell.’
Story from the Koran:
One day some Moslem people said to Mohammad, “People bring us meat and we do not know whether they’ve mentioned Allah’s name or not on slaughtering the animal.” Mohammad said, “Mention Allah’s name on it and eat.”
He did not say to them, “Get a Halal Certificate” from anyone.
Moslems themselves are allowed to make any of their food of unknown or suspect origin Halal just by mentioning Allah’s name on it.
Even food known to be Haram (forbidden food) to Moslems, could be eaten under certain circumstances, according to the Koran.
The modern idea (As of 1980) of an official “Halal Certification” is something NEW! The act of introducing new ideas into Islam is always supposed to be forbidden, this is called a “Biddah Hearsy”. Biddah is an invention or innovation by Moslems, that has never been previously mentioned anywhere in Islamic writings, or not in the Koran or the Hadiths. Halal certification is a Jizyah Tax scheme to separate food companies and gullible consumers from their money, and as a means to finance Jihad. Commercial certification was not required in Mohammad’s time, or any time in the last 1400 years and is not required now.
But notice how no Moslem cleric or imam talks about this need for certification, or the fact that Mohammad had told them they could eat any food, as long as they mentioned Allah’s name.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVPngzSE94o
During and after Mohammad’s day, Moslems did not slaughter all of their own food. Surah 5 verse 5 says: “The food, including slaughtered animals, of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) is Lawful for Moslems”
Mohammad himself, ate meat from a sheep that was prepared by a Jewish woman.
Eating food slaughtered and prepared by non-Moslems was acceptable.
Hunting dogs and birds of prey are not Halal animals according to Islam, however wild game killed by them is permissible to eat. Simply saying “Bismallah” (In the name of Allah) over it made it permissible to eat.
“Biddah” is Haram and considered as heresy, it is an innovation in Islam, it is the invention, creation or addition of any religious matter which was not (originally) found in Islam. Therefore, Islam warns against it and invalidates any religious deed which does not originate from the Quran and the Sunnah. Muhammad says in this respect: “He who innovates something that is not in agreement with our matter (religion), will have it rejected.”
This is because innovation in religion is an opposition to Islam; it implies that our religion is incomplete and imperfect with regards to the matters of worship. Shaikh Ibn ‘Uthaimeen says: “Innovation entails the adoption of dangerous ways”
EDIT to the quote above:
But of course for Moslems who are ignoring and promoting a Biddah Heresy no matter how Haram it may be, is certainly justified under Sharia, if you can separate gullible Westerners from their money, and use it to kill them.
The exception is: when BILLIONS of Dollars are involved!

Thanks for the Heads-up!
Isn’t it amazing the way people forget that the Old Testament is books from the Torah.
Yes I know Acts is in the New Testament.
books from the Torah
Actually, the entire Torah is included. And the New Testament rhymes with the Old. The Concordance was my hobby [passion] for years. I still play with it sometimes.
I haven’t read the Torah so I didn’t know that, I remember hearing somewhere that a couple of books were left out.
The Torah usually refers to the first 5 books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Used colloquially, it’s all the rest – Kings, Psalms, Job, etc. – up to 1st Matthew, New Testament.
Wiki has a full list of the “canon”.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanakh
The slaughtering of animals… To have become a religious thing… Is based on fear of their own death and superstition of the spirit-world they enter into afterwards… And God is the excuse not to be worried or consciously aware. To train yourself to be blind to the suffering of the animal and literally lord it over them in a pseudo reverence far removed from the actual killing space.
Christians, unlike Jews and Muslims do not practice this mind-split and their fear of God to let it not be them next, but rather seek the primary welfare of the animal and the most humane slaughter possible, innovating as much as they can with new technologies. There is no “In Jesus’ Name” pronounced by a presiding cleric, for they are more interested in saving souls.
The debate in the New Testament was about eating food sacrificed to Idols is about the power of the mind to reason, that the weaker soul might associate value and identity in how meat was prepared for consumption and so, for that person not to be lead astray from awareness, to hold what was the most conscious act in that moment.
They therefore concluded that if the host did not have an issue with it by or by keeping it hidden, go and eat; if they stick a big kosher or halal label on it, don’t. For the first is just tradition and the second is a declaration of ego.
“It’s not what goes into your mouth that defiles you; you are defiled by the words that come out of your mouth.”
The Gospel of Jesus was never to supersede the Jews with a New Religion of St Paul, but to give it back the common sense. And seeing the majority of Jews today, how they get that balance right, shows he succeeded, (much to the gnashing of Socialist Christians and Fascist Muslims marching in sync for Hamas in Palestine).
If you can’t even treat animals right, how then will you treat humans not of your faith?
Israel is humane, Hamas is halal.

The Sanitary Risks Linked to Halal Slaughter.
By Alain Peretti, Doctor of veterinary medicine.
http://vladtepesblog.com/?p=41428
We always evoke the problems in the matter of suffering of the animal and the financial tax of Islam for the consumers. These problems are of course, real. There is another that concerns us all, and has the merit to be evoked. An essential question is the sanitary aspect, the security aspect, in fact, let’s remember that in halal slaughter, the animal is turned towards Mecca, bled without being stunned, a very large incision from the throat to the vertebrae sectioning all organs from the jugular and the carotid but also the trachea and the esophagus. This practice brings on anato-phisiological consequences.

Pork is an important part of American food culture, particularly in the South. Suggesting there is something wrong with bacon would be considered fightin’ words in some parts.
If only that was true. We would have seen a fight at least once. There was a Texas pig farmer that would not give in to intimidation by a mosque that was being built next door. Started Friday afternoon pig races. Other than he, and I don’t know what the final result was of that, I haven’t seen any fight back.
– we’re just wimped out
The left has spent many decades and billions of our dollars to teach us not to fight for ourselves and our values.

Egypt feminist defecates on IS flag in the nude
Graphic content: Aliaa Magda Elmahdy posts photo to Facebook; Arab media avoid publishing since words ‘there is no God but Allah’ are printed on banner
A well known Egyptian social activist and blogger posted a photo to Facebook Saturday of herself and another unidentified women defecating and menstruating on an Islamic State flag while in the nude, in what appears to be a protest against the Islamist terror group’s recent advances in northern Iraq and Syria.
Aliaa Magda Elmahdy did not specify why she posted the photo, though past controversies, such as a 2011 incident in which she posed in only stockings and red shoes for her blog — to protest against Egypt’s conservative culture — suggest that she was opposing the Islamic State terror group’s brutally restrictive and misogynistic ideology.
In the image, the 23-year-old feminist is seen facing the camera, while the other woman, dressed in a black hijab, has her back towards the viewer. Two presumably plastic machine guns are in the background, and the veiled woman is holding up her middle finger. The letters IS are inscribed on Elmahdy’s stomach and on the second woman’s bottom.
Arab media across the Middle East avoided publishing the photo, since the words “there is no God but Allah” are printed on the desecrated flag, Army Radio reported.
Elmahdy said in the past that her photos “scream against a society of violence, racism, sexism, sexual harassment and hypocrisy.” However, she has been criticized for her endeavors not only by hard-line Muslims in her home country, but by liberal, secular leaning individuals as well.
“This hurts the entire secular current in front of those calling themselves the people of virtue,” Sayyed el-Qimni, a prominent secularist, said of the 2011 image, in an apparent reference to Salafi extremists, AP reported at the time.
Elmahdy did not respond to the criticisms, but continued to be active in the struggle to achieve equal rights for women in Egypt.

Get this! Not all Americans free fall to dhimmitude, HELL NO..!!!
http://reclaimourrepublic.wordpress.com/2014/08/23/video-response-to-beheading-of-james-foley-from-a-pissed-off-marine-veteran-pentagon-is-beyond-anything-weve-seen/
It is precisely this, that is dhimmitude:
“UPDATE: To all who read this and assume this is against all Muslims, I am sorry you are too blind to read, this isn’t against Muslims in general. If you feel otherwise I suggest you look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself one question, am I an extremist? You say Islam is the religion of peace, since when does terrorizing the innocent (beheading women and children) mean peace? This is directed at all extremists, if this offends/makes you angry or you think I am racist you are are probably an extremist…
It gives the way out, that Islam is somehow nice if practiced faithfully.
It is pure evil. Period. You can’t reform the founder.
Muslims need to know Mohammad was a psychopath, that his behaviour was perverted in every way, that nothing of his religion to justify theft is redeemable, but they are if they repent from their pride to hide a deep sense of inferiority bred into them as children.
This is directed at all extremists…
The argument is lost.
It is like saying to the Japanese who worshipped the Emperor Hirohito as God, that this was directed only at extremists. So leaving them to abuse their children behind closed doors waiting their time to surface when you are the most weakened.
Openly and clearly shine a light on Mohammad so their shame of association shines though. Give no quarter of shelter to the barbaric cult of which the fruit is abundantly clear and….. you then apologize and legitimize them.
They know what you mean. And you thinking they are stupid and have a bonafide religion emboldens them.
Expletive of your choice goes here: * *
Well said. But it’s the de rigueur public refrain even of people who are otherwise very good on the issue. “Of course I’m not talking about all Muslims here.” “Do all Muslims believe this? Certainly not.”
Douglas Murray, discussing a British jihadi on Michael Coren a couple of days ago: “But in no other way does he have any similarity to or share any values with Britain or the British people, including many British Muslims.”
So, ‘many British Muslims’ take for the perfect man, the perfect example for all men for all time, someone other than the Pirate Mohammed? I don’t think so. ‘Islamism’ equals Islam. But to confront that fact is to shut the door on the evil when we’re trapped in the room with it.
Don C:“But to confront that fact is to shut the door on the evil when we’re trapped in the room with it.”
Oh, so you mean is this is what Muslims say?:
“UPDATE: To all who read this and assume this is against all Kufar, I am sorry you are too blind to read, this isn’t against Kufar in general. If you feel otherwise I suggest you look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself one question, am I an extremist? You say Socialism is the religion of peace, since when does terrorizing the innocent (bombing women and children) mean peace? This is directed at all extremists, if this offends/makes you angry or you think I am racist you are are probably an extremist…
So for Muslims there here are nice kufar???
Do you see? One has clear absolution based on a complete lie. You have absolution based on the truth, which is unbreakable, and you still throw it away!
If we were steadfast husbands for our fickle wives, believable to our children, Islam would be nothing for the West.
Now the West tremble, because through Marxist Cultural Relativism they don’t even know what the anus is for anymore.
National Socialism deliberately allowed to be imported and weaken the West so that our politicians will negotiate with Communists to ‘protect’ us.
Perfectchild, We don’t have to be trapped spiritually or psychologically, but as I should have made clearer, I was only thinking of the social and political situation we’re in thanks to mass immigration. So long as Islam has government, media and the universities on its side, any kafir who wakes up to the fact that Islam is not being perverted somehow by the IS beheaders, but is itself evil, still has to go to work the next day with his Muslim colleagues, meet with his schoolchildren’s Muslim teacher, reply civilly to the Muslim policeman, and all the rest of it. He can’t pretend to himself any longer that the nice Muslim neighbor next door believes anything fundamentally different from the murderous Muslim jihadi on television, but unless he is very lucky, he is still stuck in his social matrix. Only now he is clearer about who is inside it with him.
All of us aren’t falling into dhimmitude but the press makes it look that way, many are fighting back but in ways that won’t get us arrested.
