Malaysia: Muslims angered over halal version of Chinese pork soup

They might get the idea that it's all right to eat pork, you see. Characteristic anger and intransigence in this Sharia Alert from modern, moderate Malaysia: "Malaysia - Anger over pork mixed with Halal meat," from Meat Trade News Daily, December 27 (thanks to Walter):

A Malaysian government-backed campaign to popularise a well-known ethnic Chinese soup by making a version that avoids pork and fulfills Islamic dietary rules sparked criticism by activists who fear it will confuse Muslims.

According to The Jakarta Post, a halal version of "bak kut teh," a herbal broth traditionally made with pork ribs, was introduced at a Tourism Ministry food fair last weekend to promote local cuisine. The new version contains chicken, seafood or vegetables instead of pork, which Islam prohibits.

However, some Muslims object to the use of "bak kut teh" to identify the revamped recipe, saying the name is synonymous with pork among people in Muslim-majority Malaysia and neighboring Singapore, where the dish is beloved by the ethnic Chinese community.
"Bak kut teh" means "meat bone tea" in a Chinese dialect, but the meat is generally understood to be pork.

"This will cause misunderstanding among the public. It might even lead some Muslims to wonder whether it is all right to eat pork," said Ma'mor Osman, secretary general of the Malaysian Muslim Consumers Association.

The association plans to send a complaint to the Tourism Ministry, urging it to find a new name for the halal version, Ma'mor told The Associated Press.

The Department of Islamic Development, a government group that oversees Islamic policies, reportedly said it won't allow the dish to be formally certified as halal if it continues to be named "bak kut teh."

Islamic authorities are worried that Muslims will wrongly assume that the soup's pork version is suitable for consumption, the department's deputy director, Lokman Abdul Rahman, told the Utusan Malaysia newspaper....

The Malays (Muslims) are the most superior race and they are the chosen people of Allah. Non Muslims cannot use this Arabic moon god because it would cause confusion among the Muslims.

The movie Daredevil was banned just because the hero Daredevil is not a devil and this would confuse the Muslims.

Root beer is not halal because this word "beer" will confuse the Muslims again.

Remember the Muslim woman who was sentenced to be caned by the Sharia Court before Ramadan is still waiting to be caned and she demanded that she be caned in public and she had demanded that she wanted this to be done immediately but the Sharia Court has not been able to find the "proper way" to cane her. The clerics are still discussing whether they could use feather to cane her. They are still looking for the divine guidance.

Malaysia is the best example of the "modern moderate and progressive Muslim country" in the world and if one does not agree with this, one better not set foot to this country which will soon be the first developing country to become the under developing country in the world and given enough time it will go back to the 7th century Arabia.

The Malays are trying to be more Arab than the Arabs themselves and Malaysia wants to export halal meat to the Arabs when Malaysia is importing 70% of meat for her consumption.

Malaysia has the world's biggest Islamic and Sharia compliant banking system and issue the most sukuk bonds and when the word bonds itself means the involvement of interest payment and by adding Islamic before the before banking, all the interest payment in the sukuk bonds become halal and Islamic. And by the way Bank Islam in Malaysia was robbed by its directors and the Malaysian government had to bail her out with money from the kafirs, "...the Indians and the Chinese who are paying 90% of the tax..." to quote Dr Mahathir, the former Prime Minister.

Muslims tend to get confused rather easily. They often remind one of Alzheimer's patients in a nursing home. The mindless belligerence and rage is what strikes one the most, and that is often found among those experiencing advanced senility. People with fading or limited cognitive ability often lash out in frustration.

I'm confused a good deal of the time, but I don't expect anyone to rename anything because of it.

What idiocy—I eat a vegetarian version of Pho (Vietnamese soup) quite frequently—even though "the name is synonymous with" beef.

Somehow, this doesn't "confuse me"—I wonder why? It doesn't anger me, either–guess I'm not a Mohammedan.
