My opinion to Halal:
We as Buddhists and Sinhalese we know what is right and what is wrong to do.
So if something is not right to consume, such as beef or else some take high precaution to not to buy or consume.
So we have taken our own decision to avoid from it.
Likewise without showing to the world and others we still can avoid buying HALAL food or avoid going to their shops. No harm in that. When we don't buy those the suppliers will find alternatives to serve us.
May be they will introduce separate HALAL sections in every markets. As example in cargills, keeells super etc they can have a section called Halal food or meat. So the people wanted it will go to that section and buy.
So dear guys I think without making world to laugh at us we can silently avoid buying the products and they will change. They need to do their business, so they will change the way to supply others who don't like.
Please don't rally or do protests we can use our mind to do wonders.
Let's avoid buying and eventually businessmen and traders will find a way to supply non-halal products to others.
Hope all agrees!!!
I'm truly SriLankan and Truly Sinhalese and most certainly a strong Buddhist ....
