PAGAD calls for Burger King Probe

[LazyLion]

CAPE TOWN - People Against Gangsterism and Drugs (Pagad) on Friday called on the Islamic Council of South Africa to investigate whether the certification of fast food giant Burger King is valid.
The organisation raised concerns that the franchise owner is affiliated to a local casino.
According to Pagad, Islamic law would prevent people from buying food from the fast food outlet.
Owner Hassen Adams is also the chairperson of Grand Parade Investments Limited which is a stakeholder in a Cape Town casino.
Pagad's Abdullah Salie said they were not questioning the ingredients used at Burger King because their problem was not with the restaurant itself.
Burger King opened its doors in Cape Town on May 9.
It will branch out to other provinces in 2014.

Pagad's Abdullah Salie said they were not questioning the ingredients used at Burger King because their problem was not with the restaurant itself.

Eh? Then what's the issue? Are they saying that according to Islamic law Muslims wouldn't be able to buy from Burger King because the owner also has a stake in casinos?

 

[Nod]

There is an easy solution. Don't buy from Burger King.
Get your suger/carb fix from McDuff's instead.

Yes.

 

[ponder]

Excellent!

 

[supersunbird]

Yes.

Great, now bacon can be put back...

 

[Heisenborg]

So funny how people have their lives run by a nonsensical fantasy

 

[bromster]

Can. Worms.

 

[Arthur]

And here I was about to report them to the Bacon Consumers' Council. If that fails it's the SABC (Society for the Advancement of Bacon Consumption).

 

[AfricanTech]

BwaHahah!

Jeez, there, living proof that procreation does not require intelligence.

Are those (dangerous at one point) idiots still around.

Good lord

Ah well, I suppose the newspapers also need to make a living...

 

[ponder]

Wonder if pagad will pull their old stunts again like bombing, shooting etc.

One can speculate that he purchased his share with haram earnings from the casino part. Either way as far as I'm aware a muslim should not be involved in any business that is haram. It's like cross-contamination

 

[WaxLyrical]

/awaits another monstrous thread.

I think they are saying that BK cannot claim to be Halal

 

[Shake&Bake]

All the peeps missing out and crying out for bacon, may just've had their wishes come true

Or Adams could always sell his stake in the casino and be a good muslim again :twisted:

 

[ponder]

I think they are saying that BK cannot claim to be Halal

...because the franchise owner has haraam business dealings.

 

[OrbitalDawn]

I think they are saying that BK cannot claim to be Halal

Resulting in Muslims not being allowed to buy from them, yes.

I wonder how many Muslims have already sinned according to PAGAD?

More importantly, how many Muslims take them seriously?

 

[ponder]

All the peeps missing out and crying out for bacon, may just've had their wishes come true

If they lose the halal certification and do a turnaround and start offering bacon people should still boycott them on principle I reckon.

To that I'd only have the following as a response:

No Bacon = Boycott!
Bacon = Boycott!

Computer says no! :wtf:
