Toblerone is halal and the far right is furious
Jörg Meuthen, spokesman for Germany’s far-right AfD party, alerted his Facebook followers on Dec. 17 that the triangular treat was now halal, with a sarcastic comment about the “Islamization” of Europe. The hashtag #BoycottToblerone soon popped up on Twitter, with English-language posters noting they were now “disgusted” by the nougaty candy.
“now its ONLY halal so we have no choiche [sic] but to get it halal,” one poster wrote.
A halal designation informs people who follow halal diets, for religious or other reasons, whether they can consume a particular product.It does not mean that the product or its manufacturer now subscribes to a particular set of beliefs. Nothing about the candy bar’s recipe or production process has changed, maker Mondelēz told CNN.
what a bunch of snowflakes amirite???
Right Wingers: Liberals and left wingers get their feelings hurt by the tiniest thing! They’d never last a day in the REAL WORLD like us Manly Men Who Do Manly Men Things do
Toblerone: Oh hey this candy bar is halal
Right Wingers: (Throw a tantrum that would embarass a five year old on a sugar high)
Right Wingers: Businesses should be allowed to discriminate against whoever they want. LGBT+ people, Muslims, etc.
Toblerone: Muslims can eat this candy bar.
Right Wingers: WHY ARE YOU EXCLUDING US??!?
Food not being halal has to do with meat products (either certain banned ones like pork or it not being prepared a certain way, so beef and chicken and so on can be halal but often in Western countries aren’t).
Wh…what do they want in Toblerone to make it not halal?
