I also have observed something for sometime now. I am someone who pay attention to details. Before I buy things,I check for the ingredients,name of the company that produced it,address etc. I noticed that most of the products we use now carry the symbol and inscription 'halal' which were never there before (the sign was just in few). Most product wrappers carrying that sign increased seriously from 2015. I went further to check for the meaning and I begin to wonder if these products are strictly made for muslims since I don't know of any product specifically made for Christians. Try check the wrappers of products like milo, bournvita, most of the biscuits we eat (most especially Yale biscuits),noodles, in fact most of the things we use. I think its only OK foods products that do not carry that sign yet.We are truly in the last days.Know what you believe and take a stand!. Read 1John 4, you will understand better.JESUS CHRIST is the way!, no other way to God.
Don't bring up an issue where there is non.
.
If u aint a muslim, Halal shouldn't mean anything to u.
.
That word there is just there for muslims to know that that particular item is permitted for consumption. Simple.

Guy, there is no God. Your inability to explain what you don't understand makes you believe that there is. Back in the day, you will be burnt at the stake for saying the world is round by guess who? The church. Nigerians don't go for medical check ups and when someone dies of high blood pressure they say it's God's work. For God's sake which kain thought process be that?



Then you've forced me, GOD please show yourself to this man in a hard way, then make him to shake and destroy the work of the darkness

In American schools, it is forbidden to mention God or Jesus Christ, yet, pupils are taught about Islam and how to pray the Islamic prayers.

The attack against the true Faith is spreading on all fronts.

it has been a while now that i noticed whenever the word GOD is suppose to appear in any movie it will be blanked or blocked bur when d word allah is mentioned,nothing will be done... Kindly bear with me i am not causing religion issue but beggin to observe and giv me your feed back...
its because some people find the word offensive.... someine somewhere must have complained

its the same reason they stopped airing that show about Kim kardashian's dad caitlyn Jenner (trans gender) because many Nigerians complained about the show.

Perhaps they go by that commandment:Thou shall not use the Lord's name in vain. Remember that some viewers are staunch Christians who probably complain about its use & everything else.

Why keep using Allah in every other language, and not God when you are speaking or writing in English?

[b]I'm amazed that anyone would be asking this question. Multichoice censors the use of the word God when it is spoken in a derogatory or disreputable context, like "God damn you", "God forsaken" etc. When the word is used positively, it is never censored. I've watched films like "Fighting Temptations" and "Joyful Noise" on MNET. These are essentially Christian films dealing with Christian themes and DSTV has never censored the use of the word God in any of these films because it is used respectfully and with reverence. I've watched "Bruce Almighty" which is a comedy film about God on DSTV and they also did not censor usage of the word in that film. It appears that DSTV is enforcing the scripture that says we are not to use God's name in vain, even though I don't know why they would do this since they are a commercial and not a religious organisation.

You guys should educate yourselves before jumping to hasty conclusions.

You will be surprised at what happens behind the scenes with people sending them disgruntled emails & whatnot. They can remove an entire programme altogether or from a certain time slot based on what viewers deem is "unsuitable". They did that with the Ricki Lake show. Just because some of us go with the flow, doesn't mean that others sit back & let things slide. I never knew people complain so much until that show was taken off its usual slot & put on at night. So yeah, maybe people complained about the disrespectful content in which the name is used.

They are different cos Christians worship the god called Jesus who happens to be just a prophet while the Muslims worship the one true God (Allah).

God Jehovah is not the same with Allah. The 2 accepts different kinds of worship. While Jehovah sent his son to die and shed his blood as the last atonement for sins and never again accept animal sacrifices in any form, the Allah god still accepts animal sacrifices. The 2 cannot be the same because Jehovah says he's not an author of confusion. He can't stop the sacrifices of animals by offering his only son yet on the other hand accepts animal sacrifices by muslims. The two are 2 different entities but Jehovah is the superior. Jehovah's rules in the bible concerning human lives are different from Allah's own in the koran. Many other things between the 2 Gods are in 2 parrallel ways. For Dstv, entertainment world is controlled by the devil. Most of these businesses are owned by occults and 2 d devil, that's one of his ways of ridiculing the almight through his agents dstv. Also you can see the fruits the portray in their core dstv sponsored programme, BBN, BBA. They promote everything the bible is against. Allah is a blood sucking god and an image of the devil pretending to be holy but all a grand deceit as the bible says the devil appears atimes as the angel of light.
