Finally got around to sourcing the articles.<br /><br />Preceding all this in Jan last year (2012) there was a campaign (Facebook, SMS Blogs) to get Muslims to Boycott Perera and Sons one of the largest Restaurant and Catering chains in Sri Lanka.<br /><br /><a href="http://aadhilnet.blogspot.com/2012/01/why-perera-sons-doesnt-let-acju-inside.html" rel="nofollow">http://aadhilnet.blogspot.com/2012/01/why-perera-sons-doesnt-let-acju-inside.html</a><br /><br /><a href="http://aadhilnet.blogspot.com/2012/01/perera-sons-and-sms-about-fats-of-pigs.html" rel="nofollow">http://aadhilnet.blogspot.com/2012/01/perera-sons-and-sms-about-fats-of-pigs.html</a><br /><br />I also notice that the blogger has not weighed in on the Bodu Bala Sena actions.sbarrkumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05883150662027018076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19291338.post-6713474822346194522013-02-11T21:54:55.369+05:302013-02-11T21:54:55.369+05:30I want to make a comment on the aspect of Muslims ...I want to make a comment on the aspect of Muslims not eating pork but eating beef.<br /><br />Pork was banned by religion mainly as a health related reason where most of the parasites of pig are zoonotic and cause harm to man and also because pigs eat all rubish and garbage they find suitable for consumption. Well I also have to make the point that what ever that is taken in that way is made into good useful proteins by the body systems when storing as muscle or fat. but lets ignore that.<br /><br />The modern cows are not only fed on grasses. They also are fed concentrates that promote their growth and in addition some additives. A good source of nitrogen that is supplied to the cow is by supplying Urea which is present in high levels in faeces of chicken that is added to the feed of cows. Nitrogen is an important part of all protein and muscle that we consume as beef has majority of proteins of it's dry weight. <br /><br />Something to consider to not to eat...<br />Senurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05743487449961085416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19291338.post-35178030787809474002013-02-08T18:59:44.861+05:302013-02-08T18:59:44.861+05:30Anon,

For Muslims, it is possible to accept the assurance of a vendor that the product is halal.<br /><br />For jews, whose requirements are identical, they cannot rely on the assurance of a vendor alone, they need to investigate and be certain.<br /><br />For the most part marketing to these groups is being viewed as an opportunity, similar to organic or fair trade products.Jack Pointhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00324737814154929009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19291338.post-40174348813031736802013-02-04T15:31:51.338+05:302013-02-04T15:31:51.338+05:30It is all most impossible to live a life in the mo...It is all most impossible to live a life in the modern world and consume only Halal.<br /><br />Any product that has mono and diglycerides can contain pork fat extract. Look at the labels.<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelatin" rel="nofollow">Gelatin</a> contains pork collagen.<br /><br />So that means Ice Cream, all gel capsules of medicines contain pork extract.<br /><br />Many drugs specially for Diabetes is made from Pork extract.<br /><br />I think this is hypocrisy. Its impossible to consume only halal stuff in this world.<br /> <br />sbarrkumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05883150662027018076noreply@blogger.com
