Halal Foods in Australia?

What are your thoughts on Halal foods in Australia? Many big brand companies and their products from Vegemite, Bega Cheese to Cadbury Chocolates have the "halal" approved logo on them, you may not have even noticed? My main concern is that there are approximately 350,000 Muslims in Australia out of an approximate population of 22 Million non Muslim Australians and already we have changed what we have done for decades to suit a very small minority.

We are a western democartic society and I am afraid if such a small minority have such a major impact we may see some radical changes in our country that many of us won't like or need.

Many people are boycotting certain companies due to them supporting and showing the Halal approved logo on their products and replacing them with similar products without the Halal approved logo.

What is your opinion on this?

I Wish to apologise to all and anyone who felt the sting of my above comments I made on April 8, 2012 [201204.08].
Sure they stung, but, it is ALL True! I have absolutely NO intent on hurting people at all, just TRY to help them see how they're being manipulated and controlled.
Looking at the muslims, you have to feel sorry for them. They're scared of US, they're scare of each other, and they're scared of their religion. They live in FEAR, and its been brutally pounded into them over the centuries. IF only there was just ONE way they could just SNAP OUT of this controlling fear, they would be FREE to be real people.
I got a little heated with that I was saying above, but, that's how much religion upsets me. And we ALL know where that came from, don't we? And THEY are running the World from America, as well as running America
DON'T give in to the Dark Side! Live a FREE and Natural Life guided by your Natural Instincts and Common Sense.
FOOD is FOOD, but you must NEVER take it for granted. RESPECT it! It is the MOST VALUABLE thing we have in our Lives, because, without it, we die. We can also die if we HAVE it, but it has been abused by someone who ignores the Code of Good Food Handling, Growing and Harvesting. ALWAYS WASH YOUR HANDS when handling Food. Especially if you are expecting Guests. And its not just your Hands that must be kept Clean! Your Kitchen and Everything to do with Food.
Religion of ANY kind has NO SAY in MY Kitchen, and so it should be with YOURS, whoever you are. Suppose some IDIOT claimed to be some weird religious leader and managed to "win" some gullible people over to his way of "thinking", and one day decided to tell these people, "cover their food in shit and leave it over night before cooking it" and gave some ridiculous and NASTY reason WHY they should do this, and WHAT would happen if they didn't? Would these people be STUPID enough to actually follow these SICK directions, or would they throw-up all over him?
Sorry for being crude, but I think I've made my point. Religion is just WRONG and serves absolutely NO purpose.
Enjoy your Food whatever it is. I just hope you can afford to eat properly, because Food is just so expensive these days.
