Spoiler: pretty much all Easter eggs are halal

Asda and Sainsbury's know where it's at, we're paying for chocolate not fanfiction.

Yeah I'd like to know exactly where in the Bible Jesus and his disciples sit down to enjoy a nice traditional Easter egg

I'd say neither do the majority of people who buy easter eggs, if we're talking about the religious side of it.

I get that but Muslims usually move away from everything to do with other religious holidays and eggs fall under that

"Muslims need to integrate themselves more into our society!"
"Okay then, we'll buy Easter eggs"
"No, not like that"

no, but I don't understand why you had to bring it up in this thread?

And I don't understand what relevance the fact that supermarkets stock halal Easter eggs has to do with this story, but there we go!

I don't understand why they can't stock Halal eggs and Christian themed eggs. It is things like this that causes bad feeling amongst different cultures. How are we ever meant to be able to get along side by side with brothers and sisters of other cultures while acts such as this tries to cause animosity. I doubt many muslim people would be offended if Christian Easter eggs are stocked. We have a halal meat counter in our local supermarket and that doesn't bother me, I understand it's muslim faith to eat halal, so both is stocked, halal and non halal. Fair wouldn't you say?

I wasn't actually expecting this debate to start but Sainsbury's stated that they work off a supply and demand policy and not enough people bought the Christian eggs last year.

Exactly, that's perfectly logical, kids want Mars or Malteaser eggs not Jesus ones

but some did so why can't they stock those too? They don't have to buy shed loads but at least let the people who still believe feel that they are just as important as those that don't. There are still some good Christian people around.

The fact some chocolate eggs are edible to Muslims has zero relevance to them not stocking a religious Christian one. People acting like they've chosen to stock eggs with Qurans inside instead

Don't be silly, I don't think Qurans are inside the eggs for goodness sakes My point is why not stock both.

Someone already posted the reason is because the sales aren't good enough.

But plenty cater for a minority in this country wanting halal meat which goes against our policies in cruelty to animals, so let's face it that excuse is a load of old tosh.
