A Texas, el menjar halal ja és per a tothom

Per eficiència logística, institucions públiques i empreses estan imposant alimentació islàmica a tota la població.

Certificacions halal

Rair Foundation

Mentre el governador de Texas, Greg Abbott, proclama que ha prohibit la Sharia al seu estat, la realitat al carrer és molt diferent. Tal com denuncia el portal RAIR Foundation USA en un article d’Amy Mek publicat el 3 d’abril de 2025, la llei islàmica s’estaria aplicant de facto a través de menús halal obligatoris en escoles públiques, universitats i presons.

Més fàcil fer-ho tot halal que oferir opcions

El veritable motiu pel qual el menjar halal s’estén com una taca d’oli és, senzillament, l’eficiència logística. Segons la normativa islàmica, els aliments halal no poden compartir utensilis, neveres ni superfícies amb productes no halal. Això obliga a duplicar cuines i recursos. Davant aquesta complexitat, moltes institucions opten per simplificar: serveixen només halal. Així, tothom acaba menjant carn sacrificada segons la Sharia.

Aquesta pràctica ja s’ha detectat a grans superfícies com Costco, a menjadors escolars, a centres universitaris i a presons. És més barat i legalment menys arriscat oferir un únic sistema alimentari, encara que impliqui imposar normes religioses a qui no les professa.

Certificació halal: una indústria amb vincles foscos

Perquè un producte sigui oficialment halal, cal pagar una certificació a una entitat islàmica. Diverses d’aquestes entitats, com l’Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), han estat vinculades a processos judicials per finançar grups com Hamàs. Altres, com el Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), fan pressió per permetre sacrificis islàmics fins i tot en zones residencials.

Aquesta certificació s’ha convertit, segons els crítics, en un “impost islàmic” que les empreses americanes han de pagar per operar. I aquests diners acaben finançant entitats religioses i polítiques islàmiques als Estats Units i més enllà.

La investigadora francesa Florence Bergeaud-Blackler, en el seu llibre Le marché halal ou l’invention d’une tradition, demostra que el mercat global halal no és ancestral. És una creació moderna, nascuda als anys 80 de la mà de règims com l’Iran i l’Aràbia Saudita, en col·laboració amb grans corporacions com Nestlé, per finançar l’expansió de la Sharia al món.

El sacrifici halal és incompatible amb els valors occidentals

El sacrifici halal contradiu les normes de benestar animal de moltes societats occidentals. Però rep exempcions legals per motius religiosos. Això ha generat indignació entre activistes animalistes i defensors de l’Estat laic, que denuncien un doble criteri per por de ser acusats d’“islamofòbia”.

Els impulsors del sistema halal no el presenten com a opció, sinó com a única solució viable. Però quan una sola religió determina què menja tothom, i el sistema públic s’hi adapta de forma acrítica, no estem parlant de diversitat. Estem parlant de submissió institucional.
