    where does the weird thing about halal certification and jizya tax come from? i’ve heard multiple rightists on multiple continents whinge about this thing when i’ve bought normal products with a halal logo on it

    i’ve also heard the very slightly less unhinged conspiracy theory that: corporations pay money to get halal certified -> halal certification agency gives the money to evil mosques -> the evil mosques recruit jihadis -> the money you just spent on treats pays for TERRISM

      The cool thing about being racist is things don’t have to make sense. You see something with a halal label -> white genocide. It can be any sort of non-sequitur because racism isn’t rational, you just generate outrage and fear at things you don’t know or understand because trying to understand them would amount to white genocide. Do not try to find a logic, there doesn’t need to be one
