Halal Certification finances terrorism
A number of Muslim organisations run a Mafia-style protection racket in Western countries called Halal certification – certifying the food is permissible under Islamic shariah law. Halal certification schemes are widely imposed on non-Muslims. Certification schemes began in the 1980s and are funded by consumers through a multi-level system of one off and recurring fees, paid by suppliers to Islamic organisations. It is in effect a hidden Islamic tax on goods and services.
The Muslim organisations use the standover tactics of threatening boycotts of the suppliers products if they resist paying the protection money.
