Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Muslims migrate to Australia, file complaint with Human Rights Commission because food they’re given isn’t halal

Sep 10, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer 49 Comments

The principle is always and everywhere the same: in Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to Islamic sensibilities. And in non-Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to Islamic sensibilities.

“‘Mental torture’: Muslim immigration detainees say they haven’t been given halal food for more than a year,” by Stefan Armbruster, SBS News, September 9, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Muslim immigration detainees in Brisbane have filed a complaint with the Australian Human Rights Commission saying they have not been given certified halal food for more than 12 months.

They are among more than 100 men detained in a Kangaroo Point hotel after they were evacuated from Nauru and Papua New Guinea for medical reasons.

Many of the Kangaroo Point refugees and asylum seekers are Muslims who eat halal food.

“After research and investigation we find out the food has been provided by Serco is not halal food and this is from the beginning when we arrive in Brisbane,” said Iranian detainee Amin Afrid.

Detainees challenged the guards to show them halal certification and contacted the caterers who are providing the food to Serco, the company responsible for operating the facility.

The caterers replied that they were not halal certified.

Serco subsequently confirmed to the detainees the current and previous caterers were “not halal certified” but “purchase meat from halal-certified suppliers”.

Serco’s contract with Home Affairs – obtained under Freedom of Information laws – said it “must prepare food for detainees of Islamic faith which meets the requirements of halal meals by sourcing produce certified as halal by a recognised halal food certification organisation”….

“My understanding is that they are not following that particular clause of the contract because these two source companies are not halal-certified,” said Ali Kadri, spokesman for the state’s peak Muslim body and main halal certifier, the Islamic Council of Queensland.

“So it’s irrelevant where these companies are sourcing their food from, because their processes, their procedures, the other ingredients they use do not have assurances.

“We are doing enough injustice to them by locking them up without a crime for such a long period of time and if we can’t even provide them, meet their dietary requirements, it’s a really horrible form of mental torture.”

Assisted by lawyers from the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, detainees have filed a complaint with the Australian Human Rights Commission.

“They feel this is a huge violation and a huge betrayal of their rights, they feel this needs redress. The substance of the complaint is that it has breached their rights to practise their religion,” said ASRC case worker Nina Field….

    The chief fault in all this, whether in Australia or in any Western nation, does not lie with the most ungrateful religious people of all time, i.e., Muslims. No, the chief fault lies with the idiotic descent by the West into a groveling pc/mc mode, which, among other stupidities, disallows an accurate assessment of, by far, the worst religion of all time.

    Accommodating evil is worse than evil. It’s also even more deadly than evil. For me, both a given.

        They were here for medical reasons of some type and should have been returned to whence they were put after an illegal arrival to Australia in fact only into au water were not allowed to land
        They have been told you will never be allowed to stay in Au as you arrived by boat paid a fee , turfed your paper over board when caught, and yet they bludge on the system whinge and whine ever chance,get top free medical and dental something many older Aussies DO not get or wait years and then to late.
        WHY still here who knows, bloody bleeding hearts and shonkey legals useing every tactic they can think up
        THEY arrived in a Mussie country Indonesia why not stay and be happy with the other followers of the Ideology OH NO hand OUTS.
        Uninvited not wanted and wont go back ,put them on a plane in shackels if neccesary and return .

      I couldn’t agree more, Wellington. This pathetic grovelling has to end. Any tolerance is always one way. The Muslim scum, wherever they have power, never display this far too nice and tolerant attitude towards non-Muslims which they continually demand from non-Muslims in every country that they are allowed to enter and pollute with their garbage. Muslims are nothing but a continually whingeing, whining pain in the arse. I suspect that the Muslims in this report should have been shipped back to the Muslim countries they came from ages ago, but they seem to find ways to hang around in Australia forever (with legal appeals, etc) because we are just too damned nice to these illegal invaders. These parasites should have been thrown out of the country ages ago.

    Muhammad set a bad example when he pestered Allah for stuff and Allah caved. For instance the time he wanted to own his adopted son’s wife and add her to his “greater than 4” wives collection. Now a lot of grown Muslim men think the rest of the World is there to serve them with their motto being “Gimme or die.”. They are the humor free, walking Qurans who really think Islam is the answer to everything. And it’s this lowest common denominator of Muslims that are so disastrous in the World, and so much like Muhammad; “Gimme some KFC or I’ll whine you into submission.”

    It’s all by design….evil design. They move where they are not wanted, won’t like it, things are not the way they are from whence they came…but they move in order to force…through whining and demanding, rioting and murdering, raping and throwing fits…people in the new place to placate and serve them as if they are worthy of special treatment; as if their culture is superior to the one they are invading. as if their religion is superior to those they intend to replace.

    moslims know when they go that things will not be according to islam…and that is why they go. moslims are commanded to force islam on all inhabitants of the earth…commanded by satan the devil through his filthy book and his filthy clerics who threaten with death any moslim who will not demand islam be put above all other cultures, religions, or ways of doing things.

    There is a verse in the Bible that says satan tries to put his throne above that of the “Most High,” above the True God in heaven. satan is using islam in his vain attempt to put the worship of himself above our Creator.

    And the authorities and nations are allowing it, some even encouraging it, and they have no excuse to say or claim they didn’t know how it would be.

      This is simple invasion. They emigrate to a non-moslem country; they demand as much as they can get; the indigenous population fold to placate them and then more moslems go to that country and they ‘take’ areas and declare them ‘no go’ zones. The European country gives them money, accommodation and religious rites. Eventually the country becomes semi or totally Islamic. That final step hasn’t happened yet – but it will. The question is which country will it happen to first? Sweden? The UK? Or Germany?

      They would have to force themselves to eat the pig:unless maybe there was an apostate “murtadd” aboard and then it would probably be OK to indulge in cannabalism.
      The most devout amongst them would be so pious they could not eat the pig but would have to eat the murtadd.

    No country should ever have to bow down to the complaints immigrants make. The immigrants were not asked to come there. In this case, I’m more than sure these invaders knew that much of the food they would get would not be ‘halal’. I call them invaders because that is what they are…especially when they expect the country they go to…to cater to ‘their’ wants.

    I remember reading a story about Jewish and other survivors of death camps in Sweden after WWII. Everyone at one meal was given a pork sausage, potatoes, and an apple. Most had been starving and were grateful to get this food. One devout Jewish man, a Rabbi, thanked the people handing out the food, but said he could not eat the sausage and gave it back, saying they could give it to someone else who would enjoy it.

    He went off to eat his potatoes and apple, which was not really enough food. When Gentile survivors realized what he had done, many of them gave him some of their own potatoes and apples.

    The next day, the charitable Swedes, who had not thought about Jewish dietary restrictions, found some stewing chicken for the Jewish survivors.

    No whining, no threats, no claims of bigotry.

    I was there in Sydney Aus on that fateful day..11 Sep 2001. It was a weekday morn and it was actually a day off for me. But my wife was getting ready to work when she shouted me to immediately come downstairs and see what was going on in the USA as was being telecast in the news. I was still catching on some sleep due to shift work and told her that I’m not interested. But she kept on insisting. I then muttered and cursed as I groggily got up and headed to the living room downstairs. The first plane had just slammed into T1 of the then iconic WTC. I dismissed her concerns laughingly and told her that it was a movie trailer. But then I found to my profound shock that all channels were showing it. Certainly this was no movie trailer..It was as real as it could get. And then that second plane slammed live into T2 WTC and then rest became one of the darkest chapters of human history. Two iconic towers came crashing and tumbling down right in front of our horrified eyes. My sleep had evaporated long back by then. It was incredible in the sense that I had been to the very top floors of these two towers way back in 1989 and had savored the magnificent views of the NY skyline. And to see that they would no longer exist as they were…

    I was never the same after what i witneesed. The scenes affected me deeply to this very day. I mean I was very aware of the threats of Islamic jehaad to humanity much b4 that.. (right back from 1993) . But after that day, it picked up extreme urgency.

    LEST WE FORGET!!

      Thanks for that account, Infidel.

      I knew it was the real thing right away, but I thought with the first plane it was a tragic accident–like the “Miracle on the Hudson” plane without the miracle. It was when the second plane hit that I knew it was no accident.

        Jaydam–with all respect–you should know that David Icke is a 9/11 “Truther”.

        Here is a video of his holding forth, beginning a little after the 3 minute mark:

        https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-politics-36339298

        He never really says exactly who was supposed to have been behind 9/11, but he plainly doesn’t consider this to be Jihad terror, and is blaming the “filthy Infidels” instead.

        He also claims that the British royal family are shape-shifting lizards–I am *not* joking. Nutty and ugly stuff.

    It seems to me that if I were an Australian Christian and I were detained for any reason one is detained and I wanted to attend church on Sunday that I would be refused. So if my ”right” to practise my religion applies to me why does it why does it apply to newcomers who have obviously committed some legal infraction? How do you say ”get over yourselves” in Farsi?

    Obviously the food they received has kept them alive, now that they are healthy enough to complain is the time to ship them back to Nauru and New Guinea. Muslims complaining to a Human Rights Committee can only happen in a Non Muslim country, since I am not aware that such a Commission exists in a Muslim country.

    This halal requirement is all a sham. They can eat any food whether halal or not as it states somewhere, can’t remember if in the quran or the haddiths, but if in doubt they just need to say a prayer over it to make it halal. But no, they would rather try to make infidels jump through hoops for them.
