Boycott: Campbell's Complicit Collaborators with Hamas-Tied ISNA FDI/SIOA Calls for Sensitivity and Counter-Terror Training

(This is not a photoshop but an actual poster -- the Campbell's smoke reads 'halal')

I wrongly assumed that Campbell's was naive somehow in allowing the unindicted co-conspirator, Muslim Brotherhood front, Hamas-linked ISNA to certify their soups. They weren't. Campbell's Soup joined terror-tied ISNA to sponsor the Islamic Conference of Montreal. So Campbell's is, in fact, complicit.

What the media should be doing is using their enormous resources to investigate ISNA et al, and the evidence presented in the largest terror-funding trial in American history. Then I could understand the media swarm. But to shill for ISNA?

FDI/SIOA today called for Campbells Corporate to instruct all departments and personnel to undergo mandatory sensitivity training regarding unbelievers, non-Muslims, moderates, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, Zoroastrians, et al, and all victims of jihad.

We call upon Campbells to

1. Investigate ISNA

2. Offer the infidels, kuffar, non-believers, and victims of jihad a formal written apology.

3. Review the documentation and evidence entered into the largest terrorist funding trial in human history

4. Participate in FDI's sensitivity and diversity training...

On the 25th of September 2010, there was in Montreal what "they" have sold as the "Biggest Islamic Conference in Montreal History." Here is a translation from a French blog: (hat tip B, Montreal)

Campbell's Soup is joining the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) in sponsoring the Islamic Conference in Montreal. Campbell's is lending all of its prestige and reputation to legitimize a conference permeated by the Muslim Brotherhood in association with ISNA, an organization that is nevertheless still linked to the financing of terrorist activities in the United States.

ISNA is on the list of organizations designated unindicted co-conspirators by the U.S. government. Jamal Badawi, one of the featured speakers of the conference, is also designated an unindicted co-conspirator. He appears on the documents the U.S. government as "individuals who have participated in fundraisers for the Holy Land Foundation."

In two trials that led to the conviction in 2008 of several members of the U.S. network of the Muslim Brotherhood for sponsoring terrorist activities in the Middle East from the United States, the prosecution introduced into evidence an internal memorandum of the organization.

A list attached to the main document confirms that the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and Jamal Badawi, a former director of ISNA, are indeed part of the North American network of Muslim Brotherhood.

The internal document states in unambiguous terms the goal in North America of the Islamist organization. The passage reads as follows:

The Muslim Brotherhood "must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house...so that...God's religion is made victorious over all other religions. (...) It is the destiny of the Muslim to wage jihad wherever he is until his last breath. ""

Jamal Badawi, in addition to being one of the top leaders of ISNA, has also spearheaded several other organizations of the Muslim Brotherhood's U.S. network designated by the U.S. government as unindicted co-conspirators in the trial of the Holy Land Foundation.

The Global Muslim Brotherhood Daily Report talked about this "conference" on August 5, 2010, here.

A new Islamic organization tied to the Global Muslim Brotherhood has announced that on September 25, it is holding what it describes as the “biggest Islamic conference in Montreal history.” According to the announcement, the featured speakers include the following individuals tied to the global Brotherhood:

• Tariq Ramadan (grandson of the Muslim Brotherhood founder)

• Jamal Badawi (Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and leader in the US Muslim Brotherhood)

• Zainab Al-Alwani (Fiqh Council of North America (FCNA), probably daughter or other relative of US Muslim Brotherhood figure Taha Al-Alwani)

• Abdalla Idris Ali (ISNA)

In 2001 Yasir Qadhi, another featured speaker, was embroiled in controversy centered on his remarks denying the Holocaust. According to the UK Sunday Telegraph (see Note 1):

In 2001, Qadhi described the holocaust as a hoax, claiming that “Hitler never intended to mass-destroy the Jews” and “all this [the Holocaust] is false propaganda”. Although he later claimed he had been misled into making these statements, he more recently posted links to articles by a notorious Holocaust denier on an Islamic online forum, according to the Centre for Social Cohesion.

United For Change describes itself as follows:

United For Change began as a result of a recent trip to Mali. …United For Change is dedicated to helping to bring about a world where the loftiest principles of Islam are actualized as the basis for Muslim unity as well as focused, purposeful work directed towards the alleviation of human suffering that is directly attributable to human neglect, insensitivity and wantonness. United For Change exists to facilitate the unity of Muslim organizations in North America to address through collective action monumental tasks that are larger than the human and material resources of any individual group. Through this effort we aim to foster greater unity, cooperation and goodwill between participating groups and organizations and to be a source of compassion, empathy and relief for impoverished and marginalized communities both here in North America and abroad.

One of the board members and co-founders of United for Change is Asma Mirza, reported to be the President of the Muslim Student Association (MSA) in 2008. Photographic and other public record information indicate that Asma Mirza is likely the daughter or other close relative of Yaqub Mirza, a Pakistani native living in Virginia who was the former Vice-President of the now defunct SAAR Foundation, a network of Islamic organizations located in Northern Virginia that was raided by the Federal government in 2003. The SAAR foundation was established in 1983 by individuals who had also established some of the most important U.S, Muslim Brotherhood organizations including the Muslim Student Association, the Islamic Society of North America, and the International Institute of Islamic Thought. SAAR is generally thought to have been funded by the Al-Rajhi family of Saudi Arabia and until recently was the subject of an ongoing investigation into possible financing of terrorism. In August 2007, Mirza appeared on a panel at an Islamic Society of North America convention together with Zaki Barzinji, likely a relative of Jamal Barzinji, another important figure in the SAAR network. The leadership of many organizations in the global Muslim Brotherhood is passed down to younger generations and Jamal Barzinji was one of the original founders of the Muslim Student Association in the early 1960′s.

The conference is sponsored by Islamic Relief Canada. Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW) is headquartered in the U.K. where one it’s trustees listed in U.K. charity records is Ibrahim El-Zayat, a leader in both the European and the German Muslim Brotherhood. Mr. El-Zayat is also a Trustee of the U.K. branch of Islamic Relief. Islamic Relief Worldwide is also listed as a company in the U.K where records indicate that Dr. Ahmed Al-Rawi, the former head of the Federation of islamic Organizations in Europe (FIOE) and President of the Muslim Association of Britain (MAB) is a director. Both FIOE and the MAB are part of the U.K. and European Muslim Brotherhood. Another director of the company Islamic Relief Worldwide is Issam Al-Bashir who, as previous posts have discussed, is a former Minister of Religious Affairs in the Sudan and who has held numerous positions associated with the global Muslim Brotherhood. In a number of European countries, the local branch of Islamic Relief is also tied to the local Muslim Brotherhood organization.

[LP Sullivan]

This is one Canadian who won't be buying Campbells soup.

[Rodney]

The symbol حلال in the steam seems to be Arabic for "halal." Just a point of interest.

[Rodney]

Oops--I see this was pointed out above.

[Richard 2]

I am going to have to find a new soup company to buy.

[Irritable Infidel]

I'm having lentils with HAM, only way I know no southpaw wipers have touched it.

[Davida]

Trust me here, campbells soups suck. Progresso is so much better, so anybody who cares to boycott will be doing their taste buds a flavor favor.

[WatchDawg]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmbkucb_Dfc When America was really America and Canada was that nice country just North of the USA where you could travel to - no passport needed. Innocence personified!

[xavier 823]

Boycott Campbell and let the market correct the situation.

[lilredbird]

Second that on Progresso. Also happily accepting suggestions for other soup wins -- for example, who makes the best New England Clam Chowder (no celery, please).

What else besides soup does Campbell's make so I can boycott it all?

[John]

Who woulda thunk?
Here we are 118 years out from 1892 when both the religion of the Dalai Lama and that of Mohammed were called the religions of impostors, and that by the Supreme Court of the United States, nonetheless.
Campbell"s had already existed 13 years by this time and certainly it's founder as well the family must have been aware of the practical view of the Court as well the predominate affections of the citizens of the United States.
That is not to say that Joseph A. Campbell was religious, I don't know, Scottish Americans often were of the Protestant belief, but no information seems available regarding his profession of faith if any.
I guess what is first and foremost is that from our origins and on, to 1832, when you could not hold public office in Mississippi, to wit, "No person who denies the being of a God, or a future state of rewards and punishments, shall hold any office in the civil department of this state. . . . Religion morality, and knowledge being necessary to good government, the preservation of liberty, and the happiness of mankind, schools, and the means of education, shall forever be encouraged in this state." As well numerous other declarations throughout our history, seem relegated to the past. I can't say to our benefit.
So, it is not unusual that Campbell's would do what it is doing.
We have become a profane, irreverent, and backslidden country, well removed from the declarations of our founders.
Now, we have arrived at the point of welcoming impostors and subduing the virtue of our Christian Heritage in the most shameful and despicable manner.

[Auntie Izlam]

Anything for money, eh? They are blinded by the dollar signs in their eyes.

In Canada right now Campbells has an advertising blitz going on. Most of them are touchy -feely but so far nothing about halal but lots about Campbells being an upstanding contributor to the community and the use of lower sodium sea salt. Here they've teamed up with the local cable giant in a vague & confusing commercial about matching contributions to...? They seem to be paving the road to introduce halal by getting you all massaged into the correct frame of mind to accept it .
They are forever gone from my shelves.

[Auntie Izlam]

Hi lilredbird, Homemade clam chowder & others are best and you can eliminate anything you don't like to put in it. I doubt you'll find a soup without celery but good luck with that. Heres the answer to part of your question.

Other Campbell's brands: Habitant (soup), Prego (spaghetti sauce), V8 (juices), Pepperidge Farm (goldfish crackers), Campbells (many varieties of soup, broths including Gardennay, chili)

Why I'd Rather Eat Halal Food (Including Campbell's Soup) by
Katharine Shilcutt

"Accusing Campbell's of falling in line with terrorists after having their facility and product certified as halal by the ISNA is about as foolish as accusing Kevin Bacon of being responsible for the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan because Bacon was once in a movie with Eddie Albert, a costar of Reagan's in the 1960s. What it really comes down to is a smart business decision by a company that recognizes its consumers.

In Canada, there are more than 700,000 Muslims. By making 15 of its products available to that market segment, Campbell's is now able to sell soup to 700,000 more people than it previously could. It's business, plain and simple.

But why I'd rather eat halal meat is personal. Take this quote from a recent New York Times op-ed piece on the increasing popularity of kosher foods in America by Sue Fishkoff:

Every time a major American food product goes kosher, observant Jews are delighted. Coca-Cola in 1935. Oreos in 1997. Tootsie Rolls last year and two Gatorade drinks earlier this year. Häagen-Dazs ice cream, Smucker's grape jam, Tropicana orange juice -- every new item brought into the kosher pantry is a sign of fitting in the American mainstream while being observant.
Every time a major food product goes halal, it's also true: Muslims are delighted. Not only is it another western food that can be incorporated into their diets, it's a signal that mainstream America is embracing them -- hotly contested religion and all -- as one of their own. It's a signal that our melting pot is still bubbling, still taking new flavors into the mix.

Unfortunately, this particular halal food product is only available in Canada -- a country that hasn't taken quite the same distrusting stance against Muslims as America has -- but it's a step in the right direction. It's a step that shows an appropriately enlightened attitude toward a wrongly maligned minority group: Not all Muslims are terrorists. Muslims are our coworkers, our neighbors and our friends.

And in that same vein, I prefer eating halal food because it's a signal to my Muslim friends and neighbors that not all Americans are intolerant, bigoted, self-righteous, frightened bullies. Some of us just like to eat and eat well."

I won't be buying ANY Campbell's products from now on---a total boycott. I teach school and I will definitely pass this information on. In the past, we used lots of Campbell's products as treats for our students, especially during the winter months making soup. I will be buying another brand.

[Cate]

Well, thankfully, I don't buy any Campbell's products anyway, so a Campbells boycott won't be difficult for me!

[Cate]

If Katherine wanted to eat well, she would not ingest processed food.

[Pv]

I just made a large pile of Campbell Halal...had to open the window....

[Jonny James]

Fuck all these fucking barbarians. The liberal left and self flagellating academic elite help them rationalize their misogynistic, barbaric, savage, incestuous, homophobic to the max yet highly rampant of homosexual behavior among a large amount of their own community, Jew killing, Black killing, Gay killing, Women killing theo-fascists.

As Plato warned in his Republic, if your citizens become too comfortable and luxurious they forget the value of freedom and the difficulty to acquire it. I fear this is where America has gotten and it is showing these weaknesses expressed in the lack of its ability to confront its mortal enemy, Islam and its Global Utopian proselytizers.

John,

Can we get more details on the SC ruling referenced here?

[dented]

From Sky News, where their reporter meets the Taliban:-
http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/World-News/Britons-Fund-The-Taliban-Claims-Regional-Afghan-Commander-In-Exclusive-Interview/Article/201010315759928?lpos=World_News_Carousel_Region_1&lid=ARTICLE_15759928_Britons_Fund_The_Taliban_Claims_Regional_Afghan_Commander_In_Exclusive_Interview

snips from the article:-

We are not like a government, we depend on individuals. We get donations from our Muslim brothers in Britain for Jihad. It is the duty of all Muslims to pay towards fighting Jihad. This is how we get our money and buy our weapons and carry on fighting.

A Taliban commander has told Sky News the bulk of its funding comes from the UK, where dedicated fighters are ready to launch terrorist attacks upon his order.

The commander revealed they are funded by individual donations gathered in community centres and mosques around the world. It was then he claimed, remarkably, Britain is the Taliban's greatest source of revenue.

"We are not like a government, we depend on individuals. We get donations from our Muslim brothers in Britain for Jihad," he said.

"It is the duty of all Muslims to pay towards fighting Jihad. This is how we get our money and buy our weapons and carry on fighting.

We send a message to all foreign nations that we will attack them at any time. It could be in the next two weeks or it could be today, tomorrow or the day after. We will attack Britain as well. We have trustworthy people who will listen to us and are waiting for our orders.

Angela,

18+ GRAPHIC Beheading of White Christian Russian Soldier.

The foregoing is from Bare Naked Islam. The sad thing is Russian Christians do not fare well in the military and it was not uncommon for Russian Christians to be threatened with death if they did not renounce their Christianity upon going into the military. Nothing like the freedom we enjoy here.

But, not to get off topic, this is halal in islam.

I think too, more importantly, the problem is not muslims, the problem simply stated is islam and specifically, the mandates of the quran, the hadiths, and the compulsion to emulate the so called prophet of islam and the call to jihad which is imperative.

There are those who say this cannot happen here.

To such persons, I say not only can it happen, it is taking root even now.

The warnings that have gone out from these pages are not paranoia or calls to hate, they are calls that people should educate themselves and respond firmly and forcefully that such events not happen here.

Years ago, I had an associate who frequented a wrecking yard and often I would accompany him. There was a junk yard dog there, appearing as docile as ever, until you reached out to him. You do not pet the junk yard dog! I realize this is a poor analogy, but I find it so interesting that persons cannot believe what is so clearly and often remarked by the jihadist's and the call to the ummah.

Read the quran. Don't allow yourself to be told about it.

The hostility and violence issues forth from it's pages and the spirit of it's progenitor.

[Redneck Woman]

I am boycotting Campbell's !!

Angela.....do you know what Halal actually is? It is a process of slaughtering animals. In this process they slit the neck and then torment the animal so that it bleeds quicker and it also raises the adrenaline in the meat!! The Muslims believe that it invigorates them. If you've ever been on a kill floor in a slaughter house you will find buckets of animal blood that the workers drink from. It is suppose to energize them!

When we speak of kosher food...at least the Jews calm the animal and say prayers over it...it is a peaceful death.I'd eat kosher before Halal any day!

Don't be fooled by the Canadians being quiet about this and believing we haven't taken the same distrusting stance against muslims. Lots of us have but we are working behind the scenes to make sure that we will not be having to deal with the muslims agenda like they have in the UK and the USA.

[Rockmelon]

Where is PETA when you need them? Interesting though. Both feminist groups and animal rights activists have completely backed off of Islam! What do they fear? A Fatwa?

Well, I will be looking for Campbell Soups with the halal labels and I would take them right to the store manager along with my store issued courtesy card and let him know that I won't be back!

As for Peta and feminist groups........you've proven you are only as strong as the weakest American you can reach. Shame on you,Peta, for your holier than thou attitude. Now maybe you will go away.

[Christian]

Pamela Geller...yours is a weak analysis. I opened this article expecting an informed. Well I was left disappointed. It is based on childish assumptions. In future, please make sure your arguments are more intelligent...i will continue buying halal products because i do not see any reason not to buy them...

[grayjohn]

Latest flavors: Cream of dhimmi and Chicken u akbar. Farewell Campbells.

[True Patriot]

Could it be that they wrote the dictator rhyme for Obama trying to indoctrinate our school children
right after he illegally slid into the White House. Barack Hussein Obama Umm Umm Umm

Sounds very similar, none the less I will never buy any Campbell's Soup product again. Their soup is
full of nasty preservatives that can cause cancer anyway, so this would match the cancer in the White House.

I will go viral with this and get the word out. The only way you ever hurt these traitors is boycott and stop purchasing their products.

[Wri7913]

UK needs to do some serious house cleaning!

[Wri7913]

If you agree with Islam, then continue buying it.

I object to someone of another religion blessing the animal before it is killed and consumed. I have many objections to the Political aspirations of Islam which include the subjugation of non-Muslims.

[lilredbird]

Arrrrrgghhhhh... there goes my Prego sauce, V8, and favorite Pepperidge Farm breads! Well, to hell with it. There are plenty more spaghetti sauces, Trader Joe's and lots of other store brands are just as good as V8, and maybe I'll switch to one of our local "artisan" breads just for the name: "When Pigs Fly".

[Robert Spencer's Voluminous Chest Hair]

Wouldn't it be "Campbell's steam" rather than "Campbell's smoke"?

[Texana]

The call to boycott Campbell's products is all over the blogs. It is simple: Boycott all Campbell's products. It should be easy because the Campbell's products are INFERIOR. Use a little imagination and find products to replace any that you buy at present or make your own.
Boycott Campbell's products; pass it on.

[Wonderin1]

@Christian -

I'll start buying Campbell's again when they offer the halal "duck-soup" flavor for which Muslims all over the world have been clamoring.

What? You didn't know that Muslims have been crying out for duck-soup? OF COURSE they are!

You know they want halal duck-soup every time they scream "ULLAHU-QUACKSMOOR!!" (*Quranic Arabic for "I worship a Duck and Duck Soup is the GREATEST!")

Yes! I promise! That's what it means! Enjoy!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH!

[Texana]

I totally agree. Who knows when the FDA last inspected one of their plants. And, I agree; check out the ingredients in Campbell's products. In a word, they are awful. If you want healthy food for your family and a healthy America and WORLD, BOYCOTT CAMPBELL's Products. ALL of them. I hope that this sentiment goes viral.

[Texana]

Christian, do you object to the fact that Campbells in co-sponsoring a known terrorist for this event?
Perhaps you don't, but I DO!

[Kozation]

"Since its creation Oct. 5, a Facebook group called “Boycott Campbell Soup” had garnered just over 4,000 “likes” as of Tuesday, not to mention offensive images such as a Campbell’s soup can adorned with a logo displaying a machine gun."

From the Toronto Star article by Jayme Poisson: so easily offended by images but not by slaughtered or maimed children? From a brother in arms, Tom.

[Donald Lord of the Isles]

The Campbell Family/Clan have hundreds of years of history of self interest and political double dealing. In Scottish history they had a habit of always backing both sides until the end then switching to the winning side.

They are still hated with a passion in many parts of the Highlands with one pud sign declaring "No Campbells or Dogs Allowed" (Glencoe)

The name Campbell in Scottish Gaelic means "Crooked Mouth" in reference to their untrustfull nature and lack of personal honour. It seems that some things never change.

They have always been shrewd businessmen with no morality, honour or sence of duty to their countrymen. As a family they are personally responsible for many of the worst acts of treachery in Scottish history.

Who would have believed that hundreds of years and thousands of miles away they would still be siding with the enemies of their own kin.

Ps. As you may have guessed my boycott of all things Campbell shall continue with renewed vigor.

(This post is partly in jest and partly a statement of fact.)

I just can not believe this!!! I am an American who for over 50 years have grown up on Campbells soups.

Just bought some last week and had a can for lunch this weekend, but now I will have to go to your
compitition! I will not support a company that openly supports something like this.

I will also post on Facebook and send to my email list of over 4000 Americans!

[Justin R]

Will you give your students the facts and let them make an informed decision or will you present them with a biased story for the purpose of indoctrination? From one teacher to another, be careful with our profession.

[american patriot]

You should be ASHAMED of yourselves Campbell! I will NOT buy anything made by you! How disgraceful that you proffit off our American people and send all the money to the terrorist! *****America, this is truly the definition of "funding terrorism"!!!!****** I will pass this along, I think I might even put some sticky notes in the aisle at the grocery stores that I shop at. This is nothin short of an outrage!
