Wider halal acceptance means more employment for Moro, sez Islamic scholar
Posted in Ops as this is as much an Op in the Soddy War on Civilization as any ordnance. And possibly more lethal.
The vast number of unemployed Moro residents in the country will have new opportunities at employment once giant food companies adapt the Muslims halal practices in food production. Sheikh Salih D. Musa, an Islamic scholar from this city and concurrently the secretary-general of National Halal Fatwa Council, said he was hopeful that unemployment, a plague among Moro Muslim communities, would be reduced when the country gets its slice in supplying halal-certified products to the Middle Eastern countries. The council would be the certifying body for halal foods and Musa disclosed that one of the policies in certifying halal products was requiring companies that there must be Muslim workers in the supply and production divisions of food companies to monitor that no haram components would be mixed or added in the process. Halal means permissible or lawful, and its opposite is haram, which literally means unlawful or forbidden.| It's always either-or for this crowd, ain't it? |
Musa has scored the continued discrimination against the Moro saying that it is a fact that employers are reluctant to accept Muslims to work in their companies out of distrust and prejudice. However, should they want their products to be certified Halal, they should hire Muslim workers. he stressed.| "Really, it would be for the best. Trust me on this." |
