The majority of halal certification agencies in Australia are owned and operated by mosques. Mosques practice and preach segregation (between men and women, Muslims and non-Muslims), inequality of women (a woman’s testimony is worth half that of a man’s) even lesser status is afforded non-Muslims, how to use democracy to advance Islam – to name just a few things that are anti-Australian. In a number of mosques polygamy, marrying minors and violence is also encouraged – teachings taken directly from the Koran, Hadiths and from examples of their prophet. Much of this is funded by halal certification schemes.
