Re: Iftari at a non-desi restaurant
What's wrong with a BK Whopper?
"Halal" is pretty subjective. How do you know muslim people serve "halal" just because they say so? Some sunnis will claim Ahmadias don't eat halal, most arabs will claim everything is halal including pepperoni, most indian muslims will eat zabiha halal but no beef thank you and that too only at indian hyderabadi shacks, most karachites will eat anything with nihari as a name, some pakistani muslims will eat McChicken because "white meat is halal", most desi diaspora muslims will eat MacDonald's Fish Meals because "fish is halal" even if it's grilled in the same oil as beef-based french fries or cheeseburgers or flipped with the same spatula that tramsitted the Bacon to the egg mcmuffin, most normal pizza lovers will eat VeggieLovers Pizza cut with the same knife blade that sliced through tons of bacon bits and beef. and nearly everyone once Ramadan is over will run to their favorite restaurant to order their favorite "religiously sanitized" meal prepared on the same plate that held someone else's "un-religiously sanctioned hence filthy" food many times over, washed by the same chicano asswipes using the same chicano set of hands and the same same ruddy sponge with the same dab of soap on it that did the previous dish. And they will go there again and again to sit on the same awful plastic chairs that held onto the gastric juices of hundreds of idolaters and other sinners before, after and during themselves, to sip from the beverage glasses that hundreds of parched non-zabiha beef-muching lips sucked from, gobble from the same dandy crappy stainless steel forks, knives and spoons bacteriafied with lard and belches from the mouths of other irreligious non-halal-consuming monsters, or they'll pull out faces and order modest menus to-go, with plastic cutlery made in Israel or some other "jewish hence hateful" factory, packed by the same set of people who packed pork fried rice and teriyaki-buddhist-beef using the same utensils, pair of hands and sweat beads into some non-or-not-good-muslim's styrofoam bowls.
what's with all this "halal" fad?
Eat. And be Grateful.
