Anyone up for Nando's?

Anyone up for Nando's?

After a recent meeting with HMC (halal monitoring committee) I can confirm that the chicken served by "Halal" nando outlets still is NOT HALAL. HMC personally inspected the slaughterhouse of Freemans and came up with this conclusion.

My point of contact is Haroon Rashid. Their chickens are all electrocuted, the power is that much that some of the brains explode and so do nerve endings. They don't do ziba (Islamic slaughter) as the chickens flap around too much and it leads to their wings getting damaged.


This is definitely not halal and not the way that Allah says to treat these animals. An extract taken from the guardian (astaghfirullah) website on the issue of fast-food, taking the case of Freeman's who the supplier of Nando's is.

"Newent sits in folds of lush countryside at the far western reach of the Cotswolds... hidden from view, is Freemans of Newent. Clifford Freeman and his cousin own this poultry abattoir. It is the largest halal plant in Britain, employing more than 250 people, slaughtering 300,000 chickens a week, and after considerable persuasion and hesitation Freeman has agreed to show me how it is done. The birds are collected from farms at night, transported to the site in the early hours of the morning, and kept in darkness until they are ready to be killed. Workers hang them upside down by their feet in shackles, suspended from a conveyor belt, or 'line', which then dangles them through an electrified bath. Their heads are submerged, and a high-frequency current in the water stuns them. The line keeps moving, taking the birds on to the slaughter area, where three men are standing ready to cut their throats".

The operators and other sources stating it is halal are all lies. Also ask yourself, how can it be that Nando's claims that some of its branches are halal whilst others aren't? And with the same supplier?
Subhan Allah!

Again, FREEMAN's supplies NANDOs and is NOT Halal. This is definitely not halal and not the way that Allah says to treat these animals.

So, rest is now down to you! BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY IN THE END!!
Please forward to as many Muslim brothers and sisters and insha'allah the matter will be resolved.

Jazakamullaahu khairan.
