    I am SO glad I don't believe in any religion and can eat what I like, and not what some book says I can.

    It's as much a matter of convenience as anything else really.
    It means I can go into any shop and buy anything that gives me sustenance.

    what's this gotta do with muslims? that's like asking a christian if they work on the sabath. haribo contains gelatin. if you don't eat it, you don't eat haribo. various religions say you shouldn't eat animal produce of varying types. christianity says you shouldn't work on the sabbath. personal choice, ain't it? although the law in england forbids the latter in excessive amounts. no doubt there's countries that forbid various forms of gelatin too. i wanna know if you can eat caribou?

    I am a bit baffled.

    I've always been a lover of Haribo sweets and other similar products - my ex who's a Muslim would eat them with me.

    Now, he wasn't a particularly 'good' Muslim but he would only ever eat Halal food, if I was eating a meal which wasn't Halal, he would make something else.

    Would you as a Muslim eat Haribo sweets?

    I've just been reading that in some places Halal Haribo's are now on sale...:eek: Does this mean that prior to these been on sale, any Muslim who eats 'Haram' Haribo's are going against their faith and does it bother you?

    Here is the link.

    I'm glad to hear he is your ex and you did not marry into his cult and convert to Islam.

    There is a couple of christian girls at my work who didnt actually know that the bible forbids pork. It was only when they told me they were gonna stop eating pork as they read it is dirty animal etc that I then told them that it was forbidden in the bible and some christians do not eat it. Now they have read it for themselves and have stopped eating pork.

    i used to work with a few mormons and we had it inserted into their contracts that they wouldnt work sundays as its against their beliefs and they were quite strict about it. they were just as strict on alot of things as are jehovahs witnesses

    Halal Haribo products produced in Haribo's factory in Turkey are made with beef gelatin and are certified HALAL. Many more Haribo products at HalalHaribo.com

    According to extreme muslim they believe haram food are not clean.. Me and my family are a believer of God and alway obey and love him. Praying to God is a neccessary thing rather than doing the silly choice of law like do not eat haram, alcohol is against islamic , taking a picture of urself is haram, Dancing, watching tv and listening to music is haram according to extreme muslim..

    Bit of a contradiction picking and choosing what rules suit you? Depends of your version of extreme. If the quran says haram food and alcohol is forbidden, some might find it extreme, others acceptable.

    I saw these Halal and kosher Haribo sweets in Morrisons, as a veggie I may try them, it's certainly nice to have soft sweets I can actually eat..

    Halal doesn't mean vegetarian.

    Is this an example of halal spam?

    I know that, I'm well aware that Halal sweets may have beef gelatine in them, but those sweets I was referring to had no gelatine in them therefore I could eat them.

    Fair enough. I was going by this link which is definitely not vegetarian.
    http://www.halalgelatine.com/
    I think guar gum is one vegetarian alternative ingredient.

    Not really you could apply the same rules to chistianity. Christians choose not to observe the commandments on a daily basis, dosent make them bad christians because they might have put a fiver each way on the Grand national or think next doors wife is hot.:rolleyes:

    Christianity has many Bibles where it has different rulesets.

    Whereas Islam has only 1 holy book which is claimed to be the word of God, it just seems strange the previous user (being a muslim themselves) criticised a rule.

    Some people actually think that Mcdonalds and KFC (im not criticising a previous poster, thats his personal choice) are Halal. They are mainly arabs.

    We grow up with these weird stereotypes that Arabs are better Muslims and more knowledgable, yet they seem so ignorant about dietry laws. They use a term kul Halal, i think its that. Which means i think everythings Halal.

    The 2 main reasons are apparently these are owned by jews, therefore Kosher, OR secondly its only Chicken or Beef.


    There are quite a few Halal KFC these days http://kfc.co.uk/about-kfc/halal

    Trialing it where theres demand.
    I used to work in a 'normal' kfc, but a lot of the staff there was of muslim background and not bothered by it.

    I posted a thread on this topic previously:

    Tangerine Foods who make a lot of these type of sweets use Halal gelatine.

    What kind of a god cares about the type of sweets people eat? Do you go to hell for eating the wrong kind? On a scale of 1 to 10, where is the eating of sweets to be placed in order of importance, as far as god is concerned?

    Yet again, I'm very glad I'm an atheist. :D





    Oh Lordie, me too. Imagine having to vet every sweet. :eek:
