France: Halal shop shut down for refusing to sell pork and alcohol

Dec 6, 2017 8:59 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

A halal shop in Colombes faces closure after the landlord won a lawsuit against the tenant, which violated its lease by refusing to stock alcohol and pork.

The mayor of Colombes, Nicole Goueta, allowed the halal grocer Good Price to rent the premises as a “general grocer” to serve the general public; instead, this tenant decided to be brazen and push the envelope, as all Islamic supremacists do in their quest to receive superior treatment and advance their sharia norms.

It is welcome news that the court ruled in favor of landlord HLM office. Far too often, the principles of “religious accommodation” and “diversity” are abused to promote the special interests of Islamic supremacists over the interests of the greater community.

“France: Halal Shop Forced to Close for Refusing to Sell Pork and Alcohol”, by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, December 5, 2017:

A halal shop in Colombes faces closure after the landlord won a lawsuit against the tenant, which violated its lease by refusing to stock alcohol and pork.

The landlord, a public rent control organisation, or HLM office as they are known in France, is led by conservative Republican mayor of Colombes Nicole Goueta, who took the matter to court to get the halal grocer Good Price to either stock alcohol and pork or be evicted.

The HLM office has said that the shop owners have violated their lease which stipulated that they were using the commercial property for “a general trade of food”, L’Express reports.

“This is a case that may seem unique but is still quite simple,” said the lawyer for the HLM office François Meyer. “Colombes gave a lease to the company Good Price and, in the clauses of the lease, is inserted a mention for this business to be a general shop,” he added……

On Monday afternoon, the court in Nanterre ruled in favour of the HLM office with the judge in the case saying the sale of halal products “is restrictive and does not fit the broad notion of general food”.

The court also ordered the shopkeepers to be evicted from the commercial space and said that the HLM office could use the police, if required, to make the shop owners leave. The shopkeepers have also been forced to pay €4,000 in legal costs.

In countries around Europe, halal slaughter practices have been heavily criticised by animal rights campaigners who view their methods as cruel. In the UK earlier this year, the government announced that CCTV cameras would be placed in abattoirs to prevent cruelty after a charity secretly filmed halal butchers engaging in cruelty in Yorkshire.

Islamic leaders were also up in arms in October after schools in Lancashire decided to ban halal meat from animals that had not been stunned before slaughter.

    finally good news…we should ban halal shops

    • Guy B says

      Banning them would prove we are no better than they are. Boycott them!!!!

      • Strangerinastrangeland says

        Halal butchery requires the animal be butchered while still breathing. Think about it. I think we can ban Halal butchery on cruelty to animals grounds without blinking an eye.

        • gravenimage says

          Dec 6, 2017 at 9:06 pm

          Very much agree.

      • Anne Smith says

        Dec 7, 2017 at 6:26 am

        I think banning them might stop a lot of the cruelty involved and save many animals from terrifying deaths.
        In UK those who are against the ban argue that it would continue in secret, however if that is the case there is then a clear case for arrests and prosecutions – if the Police can spare time out from painting their nails, wearing high heels and searching for nasty comments about Muslims on Facebook.

    Congratulations to Nicole Goueta for doing the right thing by bringing the lawsuit against a delinquent tenant who blatantly broke the deal.

    Let this be a lesson to Muslims who think the French are pushovers. They are tolerant people, but not patsies.

    The French don’t want to lose all their welfare benefits and early retirement by voting for fiscally responsible parties, so the socialists led by globalist international BANKSTERS continue in power for the time being. France’s huge Muslim population will tip the election every time, unless the French become determined to stop the madness. France’s voting system favors the middle of the road parties in every election … which is a permanent slant in favor of drifting downstream to Islamization.

    • EDWARD DE FONZO says

      Dec 6, 2017 at 3:02 pm

      Mortimer, this is no argument. If middle of the road parties are favored,how does anything islamic qualify as middle of the road?

    • GraceGrace says

      Dec 7, 2017 at 1:32 pm

      The French better get busy having babies. The Muslim birthrate is five times that of Europeans. In fact. That is the slogan of the Muslim Invasion army. “WE WILL INVADE YOUR COUNTRY THEN WE WILL OUTBREED YOU AND THEN WE WILL OUTVOTE YOU, AND THEN WE WILL INSTITUTE SHARIA LAW.

    No more store and no more halal food for the dumb tenant.

  4. Eur says

    Dec 6, 2017 at 10:31 am

    People who buy halal meat are idiots, no. They realize the damage they are doing. Little by little everything will be halal because the Muslims are not going to give in and yet the normal people give them the same halal as they do not halal. Little by little, beers and pork products will disappear from stores. An intolerant minority always prevails.

    • gravenimage says

      I don’t think most Westerners have any idea what Halal means, or what its significance is.

      Here in the US, I asked quite a few people if they knew what Halal meant. Not a single person did, and many had not even thought about it. The most common response I got was that people thought it was somehow healthier, something like “organic”. This was pretty much the response I had expected.

      Most had no idea about Halal slaughter, and needless to say no one realized that Halal is a thin edge of Islamofication in the West.

      • GraceGrace says

        Dec 7, 2017 at 1:37 pm

        Because there was no refrigeration in the middle east and ice could not be manufactured to use as a preservative.Meat must be eaten almost as soon as it is slaughtered. They can’t even hang beef as we do in our slaughterhouses. They may have all kinds of ceremonies calling it a religious law but it’s really a health concern dating back hundreds of years.

          Dec 7, 2017 at 5:55 pm

          GraceGrace…Then I wonder if this is commanded somewhere “important” or if they just don’t give a humble damn enough to change their ways and show some compassion? Time to consult Pat Condell:

    This is a very important victory and not at all ‘unique’.

    Imagine small villages (quite common in the French countryside), where the only one or two general stores are muslim run. There would be only a choice to travel for shopping, or live according to sharia.

    Then they infiltrate the next village, and the next…

    • R Russell says

      Dec 6, 2017 at 2:52 pm

      Surely France has supermarkets where online ordering and delivery is possible. That way halal can be stopped

  7. jimmyb says

    Dec 6, 2017 at 12:04 pm

    This is a huge slap in the face for their sharia. I do not believe that it would ever happen in Germany, Sweden, or Britain though.

    Made me think of the case of the baker who did not want to make a wedding cake because it was against his religion.

    • gravenimage says

      Dec 6, 2017 at 9:27 pm

      In that case, Bill, the Muslims never should have rented a shop with the stipulation in the lease that they serve as a general grocer. They could have rented out any other space and run a Halal-only shop.

      I don’t know for sure, but my guess is they got a break on the rent for running a general grocery, which they are not doing.

    Saw an interviewerin Whitechapel London asking people outside a mosque what it means to be British.

    The vast majority answered “tobe multicultural is to be British”.

    Others said to merely have a passport makes them British.

    But when the interviewer suggested if she got a chinese passport it would make her chinese, they all said “of course not”.

    The imam finally called the police who asked her to move further down the sidewalk away from the mosque, which she refused to do as it was a public place.

      That bit about the Chinese passport was great.

      None of these Muslims are really British, or French, or American. They are just Muslims who are using our civilized nations as a base of operations.

    Dec 6, 2017 at 1:59 pm

    The France have a lot of pride in there food ,it is a shame that they do not challenge the Islamics on the way they treat French Jews the same way they challenge them on what food a store sells. The French care more their stomachs then their Rabbis ,priest ,churches or Temples .The French are a poster child for how the Western World letting roots be chopped off by Islamic terrorist being appeased and still thinking the rest of the tree {the Western World} will not die.

    The problem as I see it is that they will just move over to Ukistan and set up their halal trash there.

    The HLM office has said that the shop owners have violated their lease which stipulated that they were using the commercial property for “a general trade of food”.

    Hmmm. I wonder what the motivation is for prohibiting specialty food stores. Under this prohibition, one could not have a shop named and selling SALAMI ONLY. Likewise for an Oriental-food store selling RAMEN ONLY.

    • LeftisruiningCanada says

      Dec 6, 2017 at 7:01 pm

      You could, but it would have to be agreed upon before the contract was signed.

      It seems like the tenant was not honest about his intentions to open a halal store before the owner allowed him to use the place.

      • Ttikka says

        Dec 9, 2017 at 9:09 pm

        That is the point. Agreed up terms were violated, so they cannot be allowed to continue their practice of selling halal meat only.

    • gravenimage says

      Dec 6, 2017 at 9:33 pm

      This is not saying that you cannot open a specialty food store in France–of course you can. But this violated the lease, which specified a general grocery.

    France: Halal shop shut down for refusing to sell pork and alcohol
    ……………………..

    Good. This is not a general grocer.

  18. Matthieu Baudin says

    Dec 6, 2017 at 10:05 pm

    Yes, more action like this please – they need to be held to account like everyone else.

  19. Karen says

    Dec 7, 2017 at 5:18 am

    Contracts are supposed to have meaning – so this is a great outcome, and many kudos to the mayor. However, this probably came about because the mayor is a “conservative Republican”. Had the mayor been liberal/leftist, identity politics would have trumped the rule of law, and a blind eye would have been turned to the scofflaws running the halal shop.

    Still, it’s good news for a change!

  20. ronyvo says

    Dec 7, 2017 at 6:48 am

    Is this all what France are capable of doing, shut down a shop for refusing to sell pork and alcohol?!1
    What about the gross crimes committed by the Muslims, such as rape, killing the infidels, destroying properties…etc.?.What are they afraid of? Why the so called leaders are not doing the most important act of their job, which is to protect the citizens from foreign invasion?

    What is going on. I cannot believe that there are such ignorance & cowardice among the most illicit of a country, the leaders. When are these people going to wake up?

  21. Karina says

    Dec 7, 2017 at 8:10 pm

    Personally, I believe that religions should not have the power to dictate what their followers can or cannot eat or wear.
    That is, if an individual doesn’t eat pork or drink alcohol because they don’t like the taste or have health issues, that’s OK, but religious groups should never tell people what they can or cannot eat, and the individual should not be allowed to pressure or coerce others into their eating habits.

    If Muslims want to open halal markets and shops in Muslim countries that’s OK, but in non-Muslim countries, it shouldn’t be permitted in my opinion.

  22. Rob says

    Dec 7, 2017 at 11:30 pm

    Caution in forcing people to sell what they don’t want to sell, please. Would you force a kosher market to sell pork and lobster? As a matter of contact law, the landlord seems to be correct in this case, but the general principal of the state telling others that they must stock and sell a product is dangerous territory.
