lol, lemme share this real incident with you guys.. i live in sydney and there is this suburb called lakemba, which is full of muslims especially lebaneses.. getting halal meat here was quite a challenge around 5-10 years ago.. so there was this chinese butcher in lakemba who used to sell non-halal meat.. so being majority of muslims in that area, a muslim butcher opened a halal meat shop just opposite of this chinese butcher.. and apparently, chinese saw a quick loss in his business.. he tried to figure out what had made the new meat shop such a boom… and he noticed, he uses “HALAL” sign outside his shop.. so the chinese made a big sign of “HALAL”.. people first tried to avoid buying from him but then thought that it would be halal, as he claims… so he saw a change in his business now… meanwhile, he noticed that his pork is not being sold much.. so next day, he made a sign of “HALAL PORK”… muslims got offended and sued him… he not only lost his business and money but wrote his name in the history.. he remains and will be a joke…
and yeah guys, this is a true story!
wicked.. forget the post! That is hilarious! I seriously can’t believe that happened, what an idiot!
I heard this before and saw a pic of the sign. Some people are so dumb. But who I am I to talk? Even I had to think twice on that one and how its possible and I am a Muslim. lol
OMG.. That’s so funny! Those stupid people should at least do a research on the internet before they put themselves in such a situation.
mark my words, the chinese will bring the world as we know it down
das dis meanz we willz be gettinz the porkz in diz lovely land?
I also once read on a packet of Turkey in France that they also have Halal pork available !
No it’s ok, they converted the pigs before slaying them..!
thats sooo STUPID!! how can it be PORK & HALAL!! Pork is 7aram idiots
they just want the MONEY! I swear they couldnt be more stupid!
wtf lol
looooool
Strong oxymoron.
that unveils the processing company’s fake acts ..
they surely do this for all meat products to let muslims buy it :)
in that case muslims will eat, processors will take the sin :P
Seems all the alcohol consumed by Muslims in Kuwait don’t require it to have a “halal” sticker on the side. So seems just as much point to put a halal sticker on a pork chop.
fatfukka halal only applies to meat
Wonder if this classify’s as an oxymoron???
There’s a Halal Fisn n chips in slough.
Never knew that you can halal fish. . .
Poor guy :D
Wat the hells wrong with u FATFUKKA halal is only 4 meat!!!
And anyway they is no alchohol in q8! !
LooL are you a 5 year old?

To all those Muslims who are saying “halal” only refers to meat.
You really need to study your scriptures more. Even Wikipedia would’ve helped you from making your embarrassing mistake. Halal means forbidden, includes food, clothing, drugs, alcohol, speech.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halal#.22Halal.22_the_word
‘In Arabic-speaking countries, the term is used to describe anything permissible under Islamic law, in contrast to haraam, that which is forbidden.’
Owned using your own source, what a dumbass you are.
WTF !
I guess the seal speaks a lot.

u are the dumbass Mohat. The point was that the meat is not what is considered only to be halal and/or haram. That what is forbiddin or allowed encompases all aspects of life including alcohol. To say that alcohol is haram is the same as to say it is not halal. This was a demonstration of the irony of the sticker on the pork but I think irony is maybe littel lost on you.
Man chinese are awsome. we should definitely tell Russell Peters about this:P
Yes and Elephants fly!! :|
no fatfukka, you *are* the dumbass. for some1 lecturing others you did get owned. you confused halal and haram. loser.
way to go mo hat.
fatfukka others r right, Halal is only 4 meat as in beef & chicken excluding pork…. dah, we know our religon more than u do… Dina is right.

Your right, halal is not only for meat!! But it is most commonly associated with food. And to the guy regarding fish and chips, all fish is halal by default.
Salam Alaykum
This is hilarious. For the person who said, “there is no alcohol in Kuwait,” wake up. There is alcohol AND pork in Kuwait. And you’re all hypocrites – have you _seen_ how much alcohol muslims drink? So, I wouldn’t be surprised that they secretly eat pork as well. Ham tastes good, bacon tastes good….
I am a muslim and i agree with fatfukka, i’ve seen many of my friends drink alcohol and also eat different kinds of meat which are all available easily here in kuwait through an underground system.
I think pork is the purest meat and chicken is haram, maybe we muslims were brainwashed… ???
loool
interpreters of sharia laws have clearly said that food has to be halal certified at every point from production to consumption by a (believing) muslim, or else they might be deceived.The Prophet has clearly instructed us to seek knowledge from womb to tomb.If some one fails,he will be answerable.
Anyone who knowingly consumes haram and finds no problem with it ceases to be a muslim.
