Muslims against "No Pork, No Lard" stalls:

backstreetsport: 2 days MC.

A: "while we're on that, i'd like to write abt an issue that has long been bugging me. shops with "No Pork, No Lard" signs. if u're so sensitive towards us, Muslims, and want us to patronise your stall, i believe it isn't that difficult to apply for the official MUIS cert. if u reli want to reach out to us, do it the right way, put in the extra effort and more of us will definitely come ur way- if quality proven."

B: "Oh, dont get me started on the "No Pork, No Lard" signs. Bottom line is, they want business. But they dont give a damn enough to respect that we cannot consume anything that isn't Halal.

It all boils down to respect, Asiah. And unfortunately we have to stand up and fight just for some.

That is why we shall not take any bull from them. They need to learn, and we need to educate."

C: "Unless we Muslims stay away from these vendors, they won't learn their lesson. Only when they think that their business is bad due to fall of Muslim patrons, then they may realise their mistake and consider of doing the right way-apply for the MUIS Halal certificate."

"Many of them think that not having pork or lard in their cooking equals to Halal food. But do we blame them for not knowing, or do we look upon ourselves and ask if we've imparted veracity to them enough? Do we slam them for their frivolous take on issues important to us, or do we hold accountable Muslims who encourage their imperceptiveness, by patronizing these "No Pork, No Lard" stalls?

My take is, again, to educate. Both the ignorant Non-Muslims, and the Muslims who trivialise the laws of Islam.

We can't prevail, unless all Muslims stand as one."

I'm glad we can agree on something. "No Pork, No Lard" stalls are a blight on the face of this country.
