Halaal Food

Question: What does Halaal mean, and how is some kind of meat/food qualified as Halaal??

5 Brownie Points to the person who answers

man I thought this was about new and happening Halal Restaurants in the ATL haha.. by the way KYOTO JOES is amazing (by Emory) you guys should try it out. oh and BTW halal means that if the animal is Islamically appropriate to eat it has been slaughterd by the rules of Islam such as the animal must not suffer.. the blood is drained.. and you got me with a RAMBO knife takin care of business. haha

So .. How are you 100% sure the resturant is really halal?

there are a lot of conditions, most of which give us the benefit of the doubt.

1. If the owner is muslim, and he tells you the meat is halaal, then you can trust him.
2. If the owner is not muslim, and he tells you the meat is halaal, you have to investigate further, ask him where is buys his meat, or look for a halaal certificate on display. But then you have to worry about if the person cooking it is ahle kitaab or not (christian, jew, muslim)...

ok...Thnaks..i was just wondering

we should try to get candy companies to switch to vegetable gelatin instead, so that EVERYONE can enjoy their candy. plus they'll make more money

Is Vegetable gelatin cheaper than animal gelatin? Moreover, does it even exist?

"by-products of the fishery industry began to be considered as raw material for gelatin production because they eliminate most of the religious obstacles surrounding gelatin consumption"

...PREACH

"Vegetarians and vegans may substitute similar gelling agents such as agar, nature gum, carrageenan, pectin, or konnyaku sometimes referred to as "vegetable gelatins" although there is no chemical relationship; they are carbohydrates, not proteins"

you see...there ARE options

OK, so there are options. But again, if its going to cost them more, they probably aren't going to benefit from it unless theres a large muslim response.

i think thats a good idea. props to ailya. we have to start somewhere. it'll give us at least one accomplishment that everyone can appreciate, and it is not complicated at all.

OK; then someone draw up a formal letter to a candy company and we'll vote on it for approval and send it from ZIEC, with attatched signatures.

u know

i dont think that the halal KFC isnt really halal

cause the guy over there sounds like a liar

but halal food is very delicios

and haram food smells bad and makes u wanna throw up

but sometimes on tv it looks so good

but halal food is better

i hope that answers ur quesiton

yes and no...

for one thing, as muslims or as a group, we cannot judge people as to what they say or label them as liars, unless we have witnessed the falsehood ourselves.
think of it as a tip of the day kind of thing.
