Animal fat

It all start from somewhere this has nothing to do with halal/ Kaosher or haram it is mainly a historical fact on animal fat


- Dr. M. Amjad Khan

In nearly all the western countries including Europe, the primary choice for meat is pig. There are a lot of farms in these countries to breed this animal. In France alone, Pig Farms account for more than 42,000. Pigs have the highest quantity of fat in their body than any other animal. The following report by a medical practitioner reveals the extent to which pig fat might be unknowingly consumed by Muslims throughout the world.


One of my friends, Shaikh Sahib works in Pegal, France, in the Department of Food. His work is to register all makes of goods, foods and medicines. Whenever any company is putting something in the market, its ingredients have to be approved by the Department of Food, France, and as Shaikh Sahib works in the Laboratory Quality Control, he knows about the ingredients. Many of these ingredients contain scientific names, but some have mathematical names, like E-904, E-141. At first, when Shaikh Sahib came across them, he was curious and asked his Department Incharge, who was a French, and he replied, “Just do your job. Don’t ask questions.” This aroused suspicion in Shaikh Sahib’s mind and he started looking-up for them in the files. What he found was enough to astonish any Muslim in the world. In nearly all the western countries including Europe, the primary choice for meat is pig. There are a lot of farms in these countries to breed this animal. In France alone, Pig Farms account for more than 42,000. Pigs have the highest quantity of fat in their body than any other animal. But Europeans and Americans try to avoid fats. Thus, where does the fat from these pigs go? All pigs are cut in slaughter houses under the control of the department of food and it was the headache of the department of food to dispose of the fat removed from these pigs. Formally, it was burnt (about 60 years ago). Then they thought of utilizing it. First, they experimented it in the making of soaps and it worked. Then, a full network was formed and this fat was chemically processed, packed and marketed, while the other manufacturing companies bought it. In the meantime, all European States made it a rule that every Food, Medical and Personal Hygiene product should have the ingredients listed on it’s cover. So, this ingredient was listed as pig fat. Those who are living in Europe for the past 40 years know about this. But, these products came under a ban by the Islamic countries at that time, which resulted in a trade deficit. Going back in time, if you are somehow related to South East Asia, you might know about the provoking factors of the 1857 Civil War. At that time, rifle bullets were made in Europe and transported to the sub-continent through the sea. It took months to reach there and the gunpowder in it was ruined due to the exposure to sea. Then, they got the idea of coating the bullets with fat, which was pig fat. The fat layer had to be scratched by teeth before using them. when the word spread, the soldiers, mostly Muslim and some vegetarians, refused to fight. This eventually lead to the Civil War. The Europeans recognized this fact, and instead of writing ‘pig fat’, they started writing ‘animal fat’. All those living in Europe since 1970’s know this fact. When the companies were asked by authorities from the Muslim countries, what animal fat is it, they were told it was cow and sheep fat. Here again a question arose, if it was cow or sheep fat, still it is haram to Muslims, as these animal were not slaughtered as per the Islamic law. Thus, they were again banned. Now, these multinational companies were again facing a severe drought of money as 75% of their income comes from selling their goods to Muslim Countries, and these earn billions of Dollars of profit from their exports to the Muslim world.
Finally they decided to start a coding language, so that only their Departments of Food Administration should know what they are using, and the common man is left lurking in the dark. Thus, they started E-Codes. These E-Ingredients are present in a majority of products of multinational firms including, but not limited to - tooth paste, shaving cream, chewing gum, chocolate, sweets, biscuits, corn flakes, toffees, canned foods, fruit tins, and some medications like multi-vitamins. these goods are being used in all Muslim countries indiscrimately,
these are some of the Es
E100, E110, E120, E 140, E141, E153, E210, E213, E214, E216, E234, E252, E270, E280, E325, E326, E327, E334, E335, E336, E337, E422, E430, E431, E432, E433, E434, E435, E436, E440, E470, E471, E472, E473, E474, E475, E476, E477, E478, E481, E482, E483, E491, E492, E493, E494, E495, E542, E570, E572, E631, E635, E904.

...but would you mind giving us a weblink to where you obtained the article from?

Besides this problem of Animal fat and all the E's, there's the added problem of Renit which is a product made from boiling the stomach of a cow. If this cow's was slaughtered in a non-Halal fashion, then it's bodily products are also Haram.

For those who don't know, renit is a type of gelatine and is added to processed cheese to make them more stringy. I can't say if it is also included in fresh cheese. So, you're best bet is to buy cheese which has a label "suitable for vegitarians".

If you're in the UK, it's best to shop at Tescos because they're owned by Jews who make sure that everything is clearly labelled so their fellow Jews don't eat the wrong stuff. This just so happens to benefit Muslims as well!

That's highly unlikely to be true, before you even get to the rest of the article.

Err, no it isn't. Not that it would matter hugely if it was. You're a very strange boy, Massih...

I think you'll find that Chicken is the most widely eaten meat in the West, probably followed by Beef. One of the many reflections of the popularity of KFC and burger chains, y'know.

Now, I'm off for a bacon sandwich

T; I Googled the article and it appears on various newsgroups and message forums, but seemingly only on newsgroups and message forums. Really weird...

Is it like those "photos" of the guy with the snowboard standing in the WTC - a web based urban myth?

LOl!
I have just checked it. i got it through email. the Source: Young Muslim Digest, March 2005
by the way
Islamically speaking, it has been concluded that none of the Es except those alcohol matter anymore and do not make the food haram because the quantity used is extreemly small. I understand that there are some people who try to make everything connected to non muslim Haram and that is against islam because we are a middle nation meaning we are not too lenians nor extreeme .ie (not Christians nor Jews)
the same problems occured In judaism . Israel Pbuh forbade many things to himself and those who loved him very much followed him but later on Moses Pbuh brought the TORAT and the TORAT made many things halal or Kaosher but some people Just like Muslims still follow what they like. they may be right when they are not sure but it does not mean that we have to follow them. I am talking about Orthodox muslims and jews regarding food .
