Jihad over chocolate? Good idea. After all, hitting the gym is a good idea after a few of these Cadbury Dairy Milk Hazelnut and Cadbury Dairy Milk Roast Almond bars.
“Malaysian Muslim groups call for jihad on Cadbury after pork traces found in chocolate,” by Josie Ensor, the Telegraph, May 27, 2014 (thanks to all who sent this in):
Muslim groups have declared jihad on Cadbury after two of its products sold in predominately Islamic Malaysia were found to contain traces of pork.
The discovery was made during a periodic check for non-halal ingredients in food products by the country’s health ministry, which confirmed the presence of porcine DNA in bars of Cadbury Dairy Milk Hazelnut and Cadbury Dairy Milk Roast Almond.
Cadbury Malaysia, like most food makers in the country where Muslims make up more than 60 per cent of the population, has all of its products certified halal to conform with Islam’s dietary restrictions, one of which is a prohibition on pork.
A news conference was held in Kuala Lumpur where the groups claimed Cadbury had “crossed the line”.
“They have betrayed us Muslims by putting haram elements in the foods we consume,” said Abu Bakar Yahya, a leader of Malay rights group Perkasa.
Nadzim Johan, president of the Muslim Consumers Association of Malaysia, called for all Cadbury’s factories to be shut down and for all Muslims nationwide to boycott their products.
The president of another Muslim rights group in Malaysia called for a holy war, or jihad, against the confectionery giant for attempting to “weaken” Muslims in Malaysia.
Ustaz Masridzi Sat said: “Because the person eats pork it is difficult to guide him to the right path. When the day of judgment comes, that person will be wearing a pig-face because of what he has eaten.
“We need to unite, we must declare jihad.”
The company said it was undertaking a full review of its supply chain to ensure halal standards and the Malaysian government said it will conduct inspection of all Cadbury Malaysia’s products.
thubten says
On judgement day, not just the muslims who eat pork will have a pig face.
mark says
Muslims calling for jihad over this should be made to eat nothing but pork for the rest of their lives. I mean it! If you’re a hardcore Muslim, what are you even eating chocolate for! That’s for civilized people, you creepnuts!
Kajal says
How could you claim yourself civilised when you’re racist!
ritzy says
Well said kajal……i agree….

What race is Islam?

sidney penny says
Robert, you need to go to Australia again, and this time visit this Museum, so that you can understand and learn about the true meaning of Jihad. It is not what the Malaysians think.
Declaring Jihad does not mean uniting Muslims and killing anyone making chocolates with pork in it, so as to weaken Muslims or even to boycott anyone making chocolate with pork in it.
Declaring Jihad does not mean holy war.
Obviously you are not convinced by the advertisement at the start of your post that Jihad means keeping myself fit when I do not have much time.

How does the DNA of a pig get into chocolate? Isn’t it more likely that the sample was contaminated at the lab, if it happened at all? And why would anybody do a DNA test on a chocolate bar? Something is off about this story from the get go. Typical superstitious barbarian mentality that makes no sense at all, but people are ready to riot over it. Sounds like a shake down to me. Haven’t we seen this done in Australia by halal certifying organizations expecting kickbacks?
Steffen Larsen says
Alas, all workers in the Ivory Coast cocoa areas, and all hazelnut and almond growers and pickers shall from now on be obliged to eat non-pork food, in order that no DNA traces of pork contaminate the end products.
Another great day for the imposition of Islamic law on the infidel.

Hahahahahaha!!! What a hoot! Let them eat pork!!!! Sheeesh–talk about total ignorance!!!!! You can’t make this stuff up!!!!!

One of the hadiths says that Muhammad prescribed drinking camel milk and urine for illness.
So eating pork: bad.
Drinking camel urine: good.
A link to a story on MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) and its connection to drinking camel urine:
http://shoebat.com/2014/05/10/muslim-tradition-drinking-camel-urine-will-spread-mers-disease-globally/
sikander says
Mr cogito I’m a Muslim and the hadith u r talking about is a fake hadith ,for Muslims even a single drop of urine of any body is haram.( strictly prohibited).and please don’t give bad comments,pig is haram for us in isslam and we have to follow our religion.and if u like pig just carry on eating its ingredients.
Angemon says
Either you’re very ignorant about your religion or you’re lying. The drinking of camel milk and urine is attested both in Al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, the two most authentic collections of ahadith. On what basis do you deem them as “fake” (other than being the standard islamic knee-jerk reaction to any compromising hadith, that is)? In fact, you should take your “fake” claim to the saudis (you know, the people who adhere to the form of islam closest to what muhammad practiced):
http://www.saudigazette.com.sa/index.cfm?method=home.regcon&contentID=2009071143333
“Nano-particles in Camels’ urine may help treat cancer”
“Speaking to the Saudi Gazette, Dr. Khorshid claimed that she was inspired by Prophet Muhammad’s (pbuh) medical advice and that camel urine consists of natural substances that work to eradicate malignant cells and maintain the number of healthy cells in a cancer patient.
“This treatment is not an invention, but rather, taken from our Prophet’s legacy,” she remarked. A Hadith narrated by Al-Bukhari (2855) and Muslim (1671) claims that some people came to Madina and fell ill with bloated abdomens. The Prophet (pbuh) told them to combine the milk and urine of a camel and drink that, after which they recovered.“
Angemon says
Also, when it comes to islamic rituals, everyone keep in mind that necessity cancels obligation.
Mullah Gitawny says
Did Cadbury forget to state on the label that the Milk Chocolate bars were made from pig’s milk? So so solly! XD
xyz says
But nowhere in the islam books has the profet (lol) said muslims can eat chocolate.. chocolate is the poison of the infidels..
calling all muslims around the world to stop eating all chocolates.. the nutjob only drank camel piss… muslims u hear.. stop chocolate.. start on camel piss.. will def get u to heaven with your 1000 virgins..

And I think about Marines returning from Afghanistan telling me they saved all of the MRE’s that contained pork and fed them to the jihadists they captured, and if they started to give them trouble they told these holy warriors what they were eating which made them real quiet knowing if they wouldn’t make it to paradise is they succeeded in getting killed. The use of Sliver Bullet Gun oil which not only is the best gun oil they have used keeping the M4 carbine from jamming, but because is contains 13% pork fat these 12 century barbarians are frightened they will die harām if they are shot with bullets wiped down with the oil. The Marines make it know in the local community they are doing this. They told me is does help.

What an absolute yell ! 🙂 🙂 🙂
You really couldn’t make this up. But I think the poster above who said this was probably a preparation for a massive lawsuit and substantial jizya is most likely in the right of it.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Cadbury’s just simply withdrew from the Malaysian market, and told them to make their own fruit and nut ! (They’ve got a head start) 🙂
David says
Now, calm down. In this spirit of positive, liberal compromise, how about the following solution. If they make the chocolate supplied to Malaysia with pork of the “halal” variety, then all will be resolved.
Dennis Trisker says
I am shocked at Cadbury. As a vegetarian westerner I will check this out. If there is meat traces I will stop eating the product, but I will not get so excited about it, and certainly won’t want to hurt anyone. If there is pork present then just stop eating the product until Cadbury changes the formula. That’s what I will do!

I hold all relion in equal contempt (though Islam is by far the worst)
The dietary restriction of Islam and its ancesor Judaism are the most ridiculous manifestation of the passion to control lives we see in religion and were obviously written by men. If god had not wnated us to eat pork etc. (he) would not have created pigs. Likewise alcohol occurs naturally so men found ways to produce it at will. It has been shown that beer in fact preserved civilisation as the water was not fit to drink in ancient times.
Steven Weinberg said ” Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.”
Steven Weinberg is an American physicist. He was awarded the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics with colleague Dr Abdus Salam.
BTW Cadbury which was a British company was bought by an American company, so I am surprised this was not claimed to be a CIA plot!
bill says
I thought Muslims were supposed to be so strong in faith? If they can be weakened by an infinitesimal trace of porcine product in chocolate or anything.
Even by being in sight of it! They must be in every poor shape if anything proscribed by Madmo and his book can harm them so easily.
Angemon says

According to Yusuf al-Qaradawi, if muslims had gotten rid of the death penalty for apostasy, islam would not exist today. That’s how strong their faith is: if there were no consequences for leaving it, it would cease to exist.
Mirren10 says
”I thought Muslims were supposed to be so strong in faith?”
They’re not, of course.
If they were, we wouldn’t be suffering from their hysterical reactions to cartoons, burning of korans, chocolate ‘contaminated’ by pork, constant ‘hurt feelings’ over things which mature intelligent people would simply disregard, ‘insults’ to the vile paedophile mohammed, etc, etc, etc.
mohammedans know deep down how ridiculous and evil their ‘creed’ is; hence their hysterical and demented efforts to ‘protect’ it, because they know in fact it is indefencible to anyone with the slightest intelligence, common sense, or basic acceptance of the natural law.
Compare and contrast with how Christians react to insults towards their faith.
I well remember the vicious and violent riots perpetrated by Christians in reaction to the ‘Piss-Christ’ … oh, wait, no, that didn’t happen.
Elise says
I never knew that lard was used in the manufacturing of chocolate candy; it usually has a unique taste when used to make pastry or pie crust.
Today, one would expect that since pork and pork products are safe to eat when cooked properly, there is no need to be afraid to eat pork. I have seen flies and likely parasites on beef, fish, and chicken put out by vendors in Indonesia, because they use dirty river water to clean their equipment and plates. They are ignorant about proper food handling and sanitation; it has nothing to do with tasty pork. One has to travel to Bali to savor Babi Guling from a sanitary vendor.
I would never give up the right to eat bacon in moderation; it tastes wonderful.
Akilienjana says
Islam is a hardest religion to be followed coz it says wat to do n wat not to do…in my point of view Islam is the bwst religion to be followed or else don not follow any other religion. …the reason why its mentioned in Islam not to eat pork is coz the pigs has hook worms in its stomach which may tranfer to humans…..dats the fact n pls do not insult Islam….if anyone in herw believe in Jesus Christ pls do remember the judgement day wen Jesus ll say dat HE IS A MUSLIM wat cil You all do……Hope You ll wear the Pig face

Like any good mahomedan, you blindly tried to defend your faith without realizing the implications of what you’re saying. Seriously, you don’t realize the minefield you put yourself into.
Firstly, where in the quran, sunnah or hadith says that the prohibition of pork is due to hookworms? Secondly, by your logic, then pork without hookworms is halal, so there’s no reason for muslims to be upset over traces of pork unless they can prove there’s hookworms in there somewhere. Thirdly, hookworms can be found in other animals besides pork. Are those animals haram too? They should be, by your logic, so you better go vegan, just in case. Fourthly, hookworms aren’t the only worms that can possibly be found on any given animal. Shouldn’t, going by your “it’s because of hookworms” logic, any animal that can carry any sort of worm be considered haram too? That goes for humans too, seeing how jihadi have consumed human flesh to try to strike terror in their foes.
Angemon says
Also, hookworms live in the small intestine, not in the stomach.

Observe. At the end of the thread, a mohammedan – one akilienjana – leers and sneers and jeers and hurls BS at us (and especially at Christians), proudly parading his or her ignorance, arrogance, aggression and petty meanness.
His claim that “Jesus” is a Muslim has not one *shred* of independent historical evidence to sustain it.
The *real* Jesus, the Jewish Jesus depicted in the Gospels which predate the oldest extant texts of Islam by *at least* six hundred years, has virtually nothing in common with the fictional Islamic “Isa”. Character, teachings, actions: all different.
The inventors of “Islam” plagiarised – or, rather, defiled and travestied – the Christian materials, and then had the *hide* to pretend that their garbled foefic rewrite was the original story!
Einfach says
Jewish Jesus was not eating pork as well.. lol..
Mirren10 says
”Jewish Jesus was not eating pork as well.. lol..”
Einfach, what is the point of your fatuous remark ?
Jews are not calling for the **murder** of non-Jews because a Cadbury’s chocolate bar contained pig fat.
Neither do religious Jews demand that non-Jews provide them with kosher restaurants.
But mohammedans do.
dumbledoresarmy says
He sang songs (we are specifically told that after the Last Supper, he and the disciples “sang a song” when they went out to the Mount of Olives; it is reasonable that it was a Psalm, the “Great Hallel”).
He drank **wine** (and, for that matter, he turned water into wine, for a wedding party, in one of his first great signs).
He interacted in public with women who were not related to him (the Samaritan woman at the well; the woman who was healed of an issue of blood, when she crept up to him in the crowd and reached out to touch his tzitzis, the fringe of his garment; the Syro-Phoenician woman whose daughter he freed from an evil spirit).
He prevented a woman from being stoned to death for adultery.
Those are just a few of the very unislamic things that he did.
And instead of teaching a dualistic system (which Islam does: cruelty to non-believers, “compassion” [sic] to fellow believers ONLY) he taught the Golden Rule – “do unto others as you would they should do unto you”.

The question here is why on earth is it necessary for cadbury to contaminate thier product with pork and sell in countries where it is prohibited……y shouldnt they be asked to stop?….in civilized world everybody has right to eat what they like…and civilized people don’t resort to discrimination on basis of religion…secularism is mudt…and as far as cadbury is concerned..ban the product….its not good thing to hurt sentiments of any community

Who said Cadbury did it on purpose?
“y shouldnt they be asked to stop?….in civilized world everybody has right to eat what they like”
Notice the contradiction: in a cvilized world everybody has the right to eat what they want but Cabdury should he asked to stop selling products containing pork, thus preventing people who would want to from eating them.
“and civilized people don’t resort to discrimination on basis of religion…secularism is mudt”
Again, notice the contradiction: civilized people don’t discriminate because of religion but secularism is “mudt”… whatever “mudt” is ;). Anyway, by sofi’s logic, islam is not civilized since it discriminates on the basis of religion: according to islam, muslims are the best of people and non-muslims are the worst of people, muslims are supposed to rule over non-muslims, muslims are supposed to fight non-muslims because they’re not muslims, non-muslims living on an islamic state need to wear distinctive clothing, need to step out of the road to make room for muslims, among many other discriminating passages in the quran, hadith and islamic law. Muslims are EXPECTED to discriminate and humiliate non-muslims to make them convert to islam:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJM_fPlWFgI
“and as far as cadbury is concerned..ban the product….”
So, what happened to “in civilized world everybody has right to eat what they like“?
“its not good thing to hurt sentiments of any community”
What’s not good is having thin skin and getting your feelings and your butts hurt at the drop of a kafir hat. Don’t like it, don’t buy it. And if that simple, elegant logic hurts your feelings and your butt, cry me a river, build a bridge and get over it.
