An Aussie housewife claims to have discovered ‘deception and corruption’ within the food industry, campaigning to uncover the truth about the relationship between Islam and some of Australia’s major food companies.
Kirralie Smith is concerned that Australians are unknowingly funding Islamic bodies every time they do the grocery shopping.
She is seeking full disclosure from food companies so Aussie shoppers are fully informed so they have a choice on whether or not to buy from companies are allegedly giving funds to Islamic organisations.
She is also calling for an investigation of these Australian organisations, alleging that the international counterparts of the Islamic bodies were found using the proceeds to fund terrorism.
Ms Smith is the director and founder of ‘Halal Choices’ and has made a shopping guide to inform shoppers about which companies are ‘Halal Certified’ – meaning their foods are appropriate for Muslims to consume.
To become Halal-certified, a company must pay an ongoing fee to an Islamic body to gain certification. This certification deems that the product is acceptable to be prepared in accordance with Muslim law.
She argues that Australians are being ‘deceived’ by food companies who are not open about funding Islamic bodies through ‘Halal certification’.
The mother-of-three feels that at present Australia’s culture and core values are at risk.
‘I’m passionate about Australia – our values, our culture and especially our freedoms that have been hard fought for.
‘In Australia, we generally have freedom of speech, equality, democracy and freedom of religion,’ she said during a speech at a forum in March 2014.
‘I believe Halal certification is in opposition to these values.’
Ms Smith is concerned that Australians are being given incorrect information about food products when companies conceal the fact their products are ‘Halal-certified’…
