Halal Campbell's Soup may have enemy backing

To practitioners of Islam, halal (the Arabic word for “lawful”) is important. In conditions of diet, halal is to Muslims as kosher is to Jews.

Canada will be the first the first nation to sell Campbell’s Soup that is halal-certified. Article resource – Campbell’s Soup goes halal to appease terrorist-funded group by Personal Money Store.

Warhol ’spinning in his grave’ after Campbell’s soup halal

There is no small amount of controversy surrounding the move toward Campbell Soup halal-certified products. The ISNA admitted that it has tied with Hama which is a fundamentalist group. The Stir reports the U.S. and other nations think about this a terrorist organization. The ISNA has an interesting donor. The Sunni Wahhabi sect funds the group. Wikipedia states the group, which was founded by the 18th century scholar Muhammad ibn Abd-al-Wahhab, advocates “purging Islam of impurities.” A NGO Freedom House study found numerous modern-day Wahhabi publications recommending that Muslims ought to “always oppose infidels in each and every way” and “hate them for their religion… for Allah’s sake.” For such reasons, The Stir thinks Andy Warhol – who created America’s iconic Campbell’s Soup can artwork – would be spinning in his grave.

Boycott Campbell Soup: The Facebook group

There typically is not a whole lot of problems with the kosher foods in America that are typically common. Of course, this one seems a bit different. There are numerous movements like the Facebook group “Boycott Campbell Soup” going on to stop this. When Campbell claims that “a Halal mark does not change what’s inside the can — it means only that the ingredients used to make the soup have been reviewed by the largest non-profit, religious, educational, and non-political Islamic group in North America,” what groups like Boycott Campbell Soup hear is tacit acceptance of terrorist activities in the name of corporate profit. What Campbell Canada calls a “commitment to diversity and extraordinary, authentic nourishment for all,” others call an affront to freedom-loving peoples.

Campbell’s Consumer Reaction Center, that can be contacted at 800-410-7687, is prepared to take calls.
