David Menzies of Rebel News reports that British chocolate maker Cadbury removed the word “Easter” from its Easter eggs so it could receive ‘Halal certification’ for its no-longer Easter, Easter eggs.
New Statesman After dyeing eggs, folding some palm leaves into the shape of a cross, and roasting a ham, there is one British Easter tradition that has become an institution in our proud nation. Every year without fail, people will hop over to the Cadbury’s chocolate Twitter account and rage about the War On Easter.
The War On Easter has two fronts. Firstly, why doesn’t it say “Easter” on this chocolate egg? It’s banned, isn’t it? Cadbury banned the word because of political correctness! In the UK, Cadbury products aren’t officially halal-certified, just suitable for those following a halal diet.
Many find it funny to point and laugh at people raging at Cadbury accounts, but the ex-social media manager explains that the people attacking Cadbury were often more coordinated and more sinister than they seem.
“These attacks were planned… there were actual Facebook groups that were anti halal, they discussed products and coordinated attacks on pages of brands that supported halal,” they explain.
Commenters on the Facebook page would post graphic images of animal torture, female circumcision, and executions. The attacks were often coordinated from private Facebook groups, leaving Cadbury employees helpless to report them.
“I believe that many of the complaints came from people who honestly thought they were putting pressure on brands to stop supporting halal, as they saw it as a stepping stone towards sharia law,” the social media manager explains.
“However, there was a large number of complaints from people who I think were just outright racist and didn’t want something they enjoyed to be tainted by what they incorrectly assumed was an Islamic blessing.” In addition to “die-hard trolls”, they also saw comments from people who were simply misinformed.
Cadbury chocolate is halal by default, not design, which allows Cadbury UK’s social media managers to copy and paste a stock response, usually: “The eggs are suitable for those following a halal diet in the way that standard foods like bread or water would be.”
Wishing everyone here a good Easter (belated)
Ghulam, perhaps you can answer a question someone here asked: During Ramadan, do any Muslim companies offer Kosher versions of their food products for Jewish residents in the country?
I think we know the answer.
I’m sure they can if there is a sizeable Jewish market. And that’s actually an interesting point you brought. When I visited Tehran, the capital of Iran, I noticed a few Jewish and Armenian-owned bakeries . But once in the restaurants, I assumed everything was automatically halal.
And I just researched this. Turns out that’s not really always the case. Jews are a recognized minority in Iran, and they have 20 working synagogues and at least 5 Kosher butcheries. Do check the link, an interesting Iranian Jew’s perspective.

I don’t remember interacting with any Iranian Jews while in Iran. But I did interact with them in Chicago.
Don’t have to check. I know there is small but longtime Jewish population in Iran and they are not persecuted by the Iranian government.
I quit buying Cadbury any time of the year. Don’t miss it at all.
Methinks that those who are uncomfortable with Christianity will have a serious comfort problem on Judgment Day! 🙂

What are the odds a 1st century CE Jewish street preacher and carpenter from Nazareth had anything to do with Easter eggs, Easter egg hunts or baked ham?
F**k Cadbury and the 72 virgin pigs that the current board of directors ride upon!
Won’t touch any of their (or other companies) products that are listed or certified as halal.
Thugs from @CalgaryPolice
disturb an Easter religious service only to be told “Get out you Nazi, Gestapo psychopaths…”
And they ran away.

What were they doing there?
Other question who have send them ?
Covid related?
Perhaps as excuse !
They want to sell. If the consumers were pigs, they would sell to pigs. The shift in demographics is apparent everywhere. Churches are being converted into mosques. The time is probably not far away when the priests themselves will convert to the more profitable religion.
As in Easters past, Cadbury and their muslim pandering, little packages of tooth rot, can go to islam or h311, which ever comes first ! I would totally do without sugar in any form before I’d buy anything the muslim lovers made !
They can stick it up their Bunny !
Cadbury also has fetal cells in it to flavor it (lots of food & cosmetics do). Gross! nwo wants us to stop eating meat & be halal cannibals.
It is obvious to anyone that is paying attention; that the nation of Islam intends to do what it is directed in its (un)holy books but what I am seeing is that racism is real and the dire situation that people are feeling is causing the mask to slip. Low IQ’s and cheap computers are as booze and firearms – shouldn’t be in the same sentence. That being said, Cadbury knew that by putting those words on its products and leaving out the Ishtarian holiday that it would enrage the the sect denominational RCs and their splinter groups.
Bless the Lord God of our risen lord and Savior Yeshua Jesus Christ.
Capitalism isn’t always right. This is depraved and disgusting. WTF does Easter have to do with f’ing moslems?!
Not a damn thing!
HAPPY EASTER!
Andrea Bocelli – The Lord’s Prayer (Our Father with Lyrics)
Rabid Christian haters Cadbury SPIT on Jesus Christ. And use the Beauty of Easter and Wonderful, Beautiful Saviour Jesus Christ to make hundreds of millions of dollars.
I owe Beautful Savior Jesus Christ my life and everything I have. I stand in awe of such Amazing Love.
Amazing Grace – Best Version By Far!
F Cadbury.
Every halal certified product people buy makes that product more expensive in order to pay the Muslims who certifies the products.
Every chocolate and every product people buy that’s certified halal contributes to Muslim terrorism because a percentage of the many billions that halal certified products gives to the Muslim halal certifiers goes to Muslim terrorism.
What do Muslims do to get these FREE mega billions of dollars from non Muslims in non Muslim nations? NOTHING. Muslims simply declare they’re halal.
Non-Muslims should NEVER have to pay Muslims money so that they can buy things they need.
It’s MUSLIM CONQUEST.
Every Muslim on earth is LAUGHING at non Muslims.
I despise Cadburys and every corporation that sells halal certified products and despicably bows down to warlord Mohammad’s god of MASS MURDER with every fiber of my being.
To hell with Cadbury; See’s candy for Easter is far superior.
The halal certified chocolate bunnies already have the heads removed don’t they?
Cadbury should do that to attract Muslim customers. I doubt they sell many unEaster eggs and bunnies to Muslims anyway.
Turkey makes money by selling local hazelnuts from Trebizond to Cadbury’s of Birmingham, England, for their fruit and nut chocolate bars. Another reason not to buy Cadbury products.
I haven’t bought any Cadbury products in 10 years.
We want “Happy Easter”, Not Happy Non Easter Muslim Islamic Satan Cadbury. You are either for Easter or against Easter, and British Cadbury Chocolates is against Easter; will not even use the word “Easter” for Easter Chocolate Eggs Candy.
Glad to know that, now I can boycot cadburys just like I do anything marked halal. Maybe cad’s can say HAPPY PASCHA!
Is Easter a Pagan Holiday?
Dr. Eli Lizorkin-Eyzenberg
There is a growing number of Christians who think that the celebration of “Easter” is rooted in pagan traditions. One of the basic assumptions is that the name “Easter” is a Christian appropriation of “Ishtar,” a Babylonian fertility goddess. Even though the words may sound similar, they probably have no etymological connection. The English word “Easter” likely comes from the Proto-Germanic “austron,” which means “sunrise” – arguably a fitting name for a celebration that commemorates Jesus’ rising from the dead.
It is important to understand that outside of the English-speaking world, “Easter” is known by its proper name “Pascha.” This means that the majority of Christians in the world celebrate “Pascha” — an Aramaic synonym of the Hebrew Pesach, which means “Passover,” rather than “Easter.”
During this feast, traditional Christians celebrate the work of Christ’s redemption, believing that only in His resurrection is God’s forgiveness truly sealed. Because of Jesus’ resurrection, the judgment of God passes over believers just as the Angel of Death passed over the Israelite homes marked by the blood of the lamb during their captivity in Egypt.
To all I say HAPPY RESURECTION DAY! ! !

I didn’t know that, Dubi. Thanks.
There are products that are NOT marked Hellal (misspelled on purpose) but they are halal. There are social media groups like Boycott Halal which safes companies and products that are/are going to be halal , as well as Apps you can use when shopping.
Toon, I’ve found this to be the best guide for finding halal restaurants/stores/products in any area of the world.

So …. will they be producing kosher treats for Ramadan , too ?
LOL
Screw Islam !!! It always has to rain on the parade doesn’t it ?? No matter where you look in the world there is Islam making demands on something . When these subhumans take control you can forget about the demands the minority wants or needs , that goes right out the window . The prophet can burn in hell along with the Cadbury bunny
Here’s a good idea, which the video above accidentally suggests. Maybe Christians really SHOULD go “radical”, take a page from the “religion of peace” (which will soon overwhelm them numerically, see https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/03/01/islam-will-largest-religion-world-2070-says-report/), and start taking offense at every slight the Muslims make against Jesus or the apostles. Maybe Christians should push the narrative that Jesus really WAS the son of God, and not merely the “Son of Mary”, as al-Qur’an says. KAFIR PRIDE!
When I was in Birmingham England in the 90s the council was taking down any thing to do with Christians,,,I knew that country was in trouble,
WOW! Way back then?
The Cadbury Quisling sure went ‘tits up’ in NZ a couple of years ago due to public pressure for the similar stunt, so one has to wonder, why not in the UK? Oh, I see, I guess unlike ‘Aoteroa’, their once virgin christian British shores & soils have since been invaded & polluted for eternity by these savage & bloodthirsty M.E. & North African mudslime rats, who where all bringing them their widely advertised devine diversity this past decade! Surely, by now, they must have awoken to their sad reality & nightmare, that there aren’t enough ‘true’ christian patriots nor crussaders left to oppose & oust these filthy members of this pre-planned pislamic invasion & tip the balance back to where it once was, prior to ‘pc’ and where it naturally belongs!
Happy Easter to all!!!
Cadbury is focused on one thing only, profit. Sad.
Makes one wonder; there are more of US than there are of them, so by going ‘halal’ Cadbury are harming themselves. Truth is, they just gave in to the islamic thugs and their ‘protection’ racket.
Gutless.
We used to love Cadburys, but now it’s become halal, and I’ve become a ‘type 2’, so forget about chocolate!
