Malaysian Muslims declare jihad on Cadbury over pork-laced chocolate

http://rt.com/news/161980-cadbury-jihad-pork-chocolate/Enraged Muslims in Malaysia have called for a holy war or Jihad to be waged on Cadbury after traces of pig DNA were picked up in their chocolates. As a result of the complaint, the company has pulled two of its products from Malaysian shop shelves.

A group of more than 20 Muslim organizations have condemned UK confectionary company Cadbury, saying“it has crossed the line.”

“They have betrayed us Muslims by putting ‘haram’ elements through the foods we consume in our body, to weaken us Muslims,”said Abu Bakar Yahya, chief of Muslim group, Perkasa Selangor, to press at a conference on Tuesday in Kuala Lumpur quoted by Malaymailonline.

Some of the Muslim organizations even called for a Jihad to be declared against Cadbury for its“betrayal.”

The Malaysian Health Ministry confirmed on Tuesday that traces of porcine DNA had been picked up in a routine check for non-halal substances in Cadbury products. According to Islamic law, Muslims cannot consume pork or any products derived from it.

Cadbury’s Malaysia, which is part of the British multinational (owned by Mondelēz International), said that it was pulling two chocolate bars from the shelves in line with the discovery – Cadbury Dairy Milk hazelnut and Cadbury Dairy Milk roast almond.

"Ensuring that all our products made here in Malaysia are halal is something we take very seriously,"it said in a Facebook posting.

Malaysian Health Minister Subramaniam Sathasivam told press that Cadbury was now cooperating with the Ministry and sharing samples to ascertain where the porcine DNA came from.

“We want to know how the product became contaminated with pig DNA. The health ministry will also do additional tests,”said Subramaniam.

Haram or not ok.......

But how does one make muslims weak by adding porcine dna?

Quick question, is this only a problem with the factory in Malaysia or with other factories in other countries also? Because if it is only related to the factory in Malaysia, then it is not much intentional rather a lapse in regulatory standards.

I believe that Cadbury did not disclose this pork extract contents in their chocolates in quite a few countries. This seems to be quite common though. In South Africa a new law was passed a few years ago requiring all food manufacturers to state exact items contained in their products. When the food companies started complying there was a huge outcry from the Hindu, Muslim and Jewish communities in that country. Items marked as beef sausages by butchers had pork casings and pork mixed in it. Chocolates and sweets which previously just had "gelatine" as a product were now disclosing that it was beef or borvine gelatine. You can imagine the horror of the Hindu communities which in the past were distributing these sweets in their mandhirs and for Diwali and the Muslim and Jewish communities which were breaking holy fasts with the meat products bought from these butchers

Dafuq? Pork DNA in Cadbury?

If this was some other religion offended, there would have been serious discourse here and there would have been comments of concern, outrage and sympathy.

But since this is Islam getting offended, its okay to make fun of the religion and its followers.

Because no other religion is so easily offended. You can burn Buddha's image to your heart's content, and I won't try to hunt you down. Please do tell me what practices have offended other religions to the extent that believers even raise their eye brows, lol

Probably some gelatin as a thickener.

You know, these guys should really get their priorities straight, a typical Malaysian restaurant is infested with huge *** rats, cats come and go as they please, the things that you could find in their kitchen could blow your mind up. But oh no! Lets focus all our effort to find out if these chocolates are Halal!

Last year they waged war on non-Muslims because of "ALLAH" they believe that "ALLAH" which is referred to "God" in Islam could only be used by Muslims, I have been to their friday prayers as well, these guys hate everyone.

US is a very interesting country, isolates the people of countries that love US (Iran, Cuba, Venezuela) and in the meanwhile has high-level diplomatic relations with countries that their people hate America's guts.

We do NOT "isolate the people". (Check the rosters of Major League Baseball, in the case of Cubans and Venezuelans. ) We may isolate the governments of certain countries. In the case of Venezuela, you are incorrect. We have full diplomatic relations with Venezuela. There is free and open travel between Venezuela and the USA and we have extensive trade and relations with Venezuela, despite conflicts with their leftist government. Cuba is most definitely isolated and personally, I don't think it should be. It is mostly because of huge numbers of Americans of Cuban heritage, who were the refugees fleeing Castro and his communist government. They have much political clout. Ironically, there is extensive and pretty open travel between Iran and the USA. One day, we may have full diplomatic relations but that is not our fault. We had an embassy there until you guys ransacked it and held our diplomats hostage. And nothing will change between our two countries as long as Iranian leaders say things like this...

Yah, words like that tends to sour relations between any two countries.

Horrifying. I loved cadburry. Now i guess i have to give up choclates. Shows that western multinationals have balant disregard to muslim sentiments and have no qulams abt violating their own policies. Typical 2 faced hypocrites. Good thing abt malaysia is that they have a very effective Halal certification authority. 1.5 bn growing muslims is a lucrative market for these multinationals and muslim states should make strong effort to bring these companies to books. Companies from muslim countries can make choclates/processed food excipients for these multinationals which is a multi billion $$ indsutry in itself. All it needs is formulating and implementing effective policies by willing gov.

people are picky about what they eat... even when there is no religious edict..
remember horse meat scandal? thousands of kilos of perfectly edible material destroyed because horse dna found in beef burger. The outrage in UK is understandable because horse is considered a pet in UK and killing a horse for food is taboo.
