The "boycott" strategy ?

What, KFC as well? LOL. I bought KFC just last week because I was always told that they were affiliated to the KKK, but now they're Zionist? Oh no!

I personally think that the world powers are no longer any nation. To me it seems that overall national governments have fallen and all are pawns of "Big Businesss" International corporations have become the dominate world government.

In economics it has long been taught or believed that 20% of the world's population controls 80% of the world's wealth. I believe we finaly reached the point where that 20% is no longer concentrated within any nation, but the corporate world has become the overall dominate government. Essentially 80% of the world is now the slave of big business.

Boycotting may no longer be a usable tool as the people most likely to be affected are the ones we are trying to help. There is no longer any such thing as a product being sold, which does not support the corporate world and that in turn supports any nation it desires to support.. Our desire for an easy life style and personal gain has made all of us pawns of industry.

It seems that if we buy any product, engage in working in any business outside the home, or sell any products we do not produce in our own homes by our own hands, we will inevitably support Israel or a comparable nation.

We are all guilty of having sought a material life style and in doing so while we made life easier, we have sold ourselves into slavery to the wealthy 20% who control the wealth.

We can all gripe, fight, and boycott but unless we break away from the corporate grip, we will accomplish nothing except to make the materialistic rulers richer.

We have paid a very high price for our individual desires to be Lawyers, teachers, doctors, managers, and corporate executives instead of product providers for our families. We have paid a highprice and much of the world now suffers because we all wanted jobs that keep our hands clean and free from physical labor.

Salaam.. well wouldn't the physical labor also keep us under the control of 20% ?

You do know that KFC products are not halal even when they say it is? Just like Greggs says vegetable pasty is suitable for vegetarians yet the pasty is made with animal product.


wow you brought KFC when someone told you, they were affiliated to KKK? That was not enough to stop you?

Yes, if you are performing the labor for a corporation. But, life was not always like that and need not be. Not very long ago everybody knew the owner of the company they worked for and sought to work for those who shared things in common with them.

where I live there is a halal KFC and Nando - if they were lying especially about being suitable for vegeterians then there would have been an uproar.

I have never eaten from greggs and insh Allah never will.

Have you seen how KFC care and kill their animals? Do you honestly think they would spare time (and money) to make it halal? The KFC is the worse company when it comes to animal welfare. I hardly doubt they would make their food halal considering they dont give a flying monkeys about animal conditions to speed the process. Why would they bother slowing down the process to make it halal considering it would also cut their profit. I dont know about Nando.

I eat the cakes from greggs, caramel doughnut is my favourite.

Well the KKK boycott Isreal and hate Zionists, times are changing and the KKK are evolving, maybe they will turn towards Allah one day. As the Christian churches now are all Zionist, socialist and gay (they give millions of dollars to gay boys for relationships with priests) and agents of the Anti Christ serving the global evil order. I can't see the KKK has a choice. They could go back to the old Norse pagan religion of their race but it has been long forgotten and has no influence in the world now. They might be considered as white power fanatics but the "Nation of Islam" movement in the US is seen as black power fanatics. But they will one day realize that "Power is mine, said the Lord."
And Halal food is a marketing thing these days. You can't be sure it's truely Halal. At the end of the day it's not the end of the world if the food isn't perfect. It's not wise to be a total do gooder, look what happened to Job.

KKK hates me and any other human being that has darker skin then them. Next time you would be telling me how the Nazi has changed. Regardless, if they have “changed”, doesn’t change the atrocities they have committed in the name of religion ideology and race.

And maybe if I post proof of KFC poor conduct towards animals, people would stop buying from them. I am sure Halal meat is more than just cutting animals from the throat and saying words. I pretty sure the Halal process also includes taking care of the animals not stuffing them in one room and treating them like crap. Maybe I am wrong. If so, please enlighten me?

Allah (swt) may ask why we won’t brother to buy the Halal meat from butcher shop and cook the food for ourselves. And if we were not entirely sure whether the meat was Halal from Halal butcher shop, why not be a vegetarian then supporting those that treat animals like dirt, really?

Regarding "halal" meats. Is there any central regulating body that can stop people from putting a "halal meat" label on whatever they want? My local gyro restaurant advertises "halal meat" but how can I know if it actually is halal?

Sadly in much of the world you have to rely on the trustworthiness of the seller. Although here in the USA some states and local governments are passing laws that if something is labelled halal the seller has to be able to verify it is. But I don't know how this is or can be adequatly monitored. The little halal meat I find here I know who raised it and who slaughtered it. A friend of mine is raising goats near Fargo.

Just boycott the KKK and meat, problem solved Sweet. Don't forget to boycott the evil Zionist supporting companies the "Multi Death Corporations"and nations of the "Axis of Infidels". Boycott anti Islamic charities eg Tear Fund, Save the Children, World Vision, UNICEF, UNESCO and all other United Nation branches of the Zionist global socialist order.

We have the Halal Monitoring Committee (http://www.halalmc.net/) organisation in the UK which is steadily gaining popularity. To my knowledge, it's the only organisation that's trustworthy when certifying and monitoring outlets, because of their strict criteria.
Apart from that, it's as Grandpa Woodrow said.

It is not just KFC chicken, it is any commercially raised chicken in most of the USA. KFC does not raise many chickens, if any that I am aware of. The local franchise owners, in most places buy the name and the batter mixes from KFC, but buy the chicken from the lowest priced source available to them. Here in the USA it is usually in bulk from the cramped chicken farms found throughout Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. Same areas that are notorious for puppy mills and inhumane pig farms. Same places Tyson buys their chickens and most other brand name chickens come from. One of the poorest regions in the USA with the average farmer earning far below the national average. Because the people are struggling to earn a living they raise as many chickens as possible in the smallest area possible. To a poor person the possible income from raising chickens is a strong incentive to raise them. Those states have virtually no industry, very little tillable acreage for vegetable crops and very few sources for income except the raising of small livestock such as chickens and rabbits. To many of those small farmers raising chickens seems to be their only means of survival.

The conditions are as horrible as pictures and reports show them to be. There are no Federal laws that govern the raising of livestock, just some health laws that govern interstate shipment of the meat. Which is concerned more with the presence of E. Coli and has nothing to do with the livestock while it is living. The states that this farms operate in are poverty ridden and the state legislatures are not about to pass any legislation that is likely to hurt the income of the residents. The final result it is almost impossible to find halal chickens in the USA unless you have a friend who raises them and you slaughter them yourself.

Why do these people raise the Chickens perhaps because of this:

Report: More Arkansas children in poverty now than a generation ago
Posted on 10 June 2010

By John Lyon
Arkansas News Bureau

LITTLE ROCK — More Arkansas children are living in poverty now than a generation ago, according to a report released today.

Based on 2008 data, 24.9 percent of Arkansas children live in poverty, compared to 22.6 percent 31 years ago, Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families reports in “Child Poverty in Arkansas 2010: A Deepening Problem.”

The report draws on U.S. Census data and uses the federal poverty level. In 2008, a family of four earning less than $21,000 a year was considered to be living in poverty.
In 1979, a family of four earning less than $7,412 was considered poor.

The report notes that Arkansas’ child poverty rate is higher than the national rate of 18.2 percent.

The poverty rate for children in Arkansas is higher than the poverty rate for adults. Among Arkansas adults ages 18-64, 15.3 percent live in poverty. Among Arkansas adults over 65, 12.5 percent live in poverty.

Neither KFC nor Israel would be hurt by any boycott of KFC, but people like these will be. Same goes for boycotting any company. The poverty impact in those states will have no impact on Washington DC. The voting population is insignificant and carries no weight on the Federal Level

Well, well, I've adopted the boycot strategy for some years. I don't think that when I'll boycot those products, I'll ruin their companies. However, whenever Israel kill our brothers and sisters and when I see that killer coutry bombing Gaza, instead of crying and hating it, I know that, at least, I'm doing the only thing I could do..."Ad'af al eeman".

However, the other day, I was watching a documentary about the tunnel through which goods were transported to Gaza. People there were buying the things we are boycotting. So, I don't know what to think....

Salam alaykum;

I didn´t vote because there weren´t right choice. I do try my best to boycot those zionist products and also companies support them if it is possible. But boycoting is not only way to resist as here are many others - anyone can do what is suitable and possible to him. Even spreading rightfull information about crimes of zionists is resisting.

I have sended money and help to Palestine but it is just as first aid. It doesn´t resolve they whole problems with brutal occupation but may relief needs of some individuals for short period. Supporting some military organizations for getting more weapons doesn´t resolve all problems - zionists get huge aid for military field from other countries, specially from USA. By they attacks against Palestinians they even "test" some new various of weapons like those DIME weapons before.

Non-violent resistance may works too - right now in the West Bank it seems to be so danger "weapon" to occupiers that they arrest and kill even leaders of non-violent resistance as like they do to other resistance. This is of course bad "image" to them: assasinate or arrest man with weapon looks in media different than assasinate man with empty hands.

As I wrote here are many ways and we have to use all of them at the same time - boycot, support, spread information, teach others what is real situation, make voluntary work by those fields we can, keep contacts to Palestine and learn more about they daily situation.

Refuse to be quiet. And remember together we are stronger.

Boycotts do work as sis An33za displayed in one of her posts. But it is not due to muslims not being united that makes them less effective - because when it comes to Muslims V Kufaar, most muslims will stick together. It's the lack of awareness of the following that's made boycotting less effective:

1. the suffering of the muslims in countries not their own
2. Lack of awareness of boycotting, it's effectiveness and which products/countries to boycott.
3. ignorance of the deen, which if studied would create more awareness of the first situation

As internet users we see things that the media otherwise covers up; take the pictures sis An33za posted for instance. For every muslim who uses the internet, there are at least five who don't. I know tons of such families/people. Their children don't even have the internet. They are never exposed to the information we have. If boycotting is going to achieve better results then I say we have to create more awareness. That can only be done if people are willing to make the effort by educating their families, friends, taking the matter to any place where muslim communities gather, such as mosques and other venues. As they say it pays to advertise. But if this effort isn't made then we can just sit here waiting and hoping and talking about it.
