About a million people from the Moroccan community live in Spain, so the Moroccan community is considered the first in terms of numbers after the Romanian community, while the number of Muslims has exceeded two and a half million. This is why the Spanish State decided to do it. create a semi-independent Islamic institution that would manage the country’s religious affairs and monitor mosques and religious centers. Indeed, since 1992, the Islamic Commission has been responsible for supervising Muslim affairs, provided that the president comes from a country other than the Kingdom. from Morocco.
The Islamic Commission, headquartered in Madrid, began its work with the blessing of the Royal Palace, in the person of King Felipe VI, and with significant financial support from the Spanish government. She failed to deliver on most of the promised reforms. Muslims, so he could not build a cemetery for Muslims in Madrid and did not monitor the slaughterhouses in which poultry and cows are slaughtered in an Islamic way and where halal food is guaranteed to the community Muslim.
The “Heba Press” office in Madrid investigated the issue of meat and poultry sold in Islamic slaughterhouses, those stores whose number has increased in recent times and which Moroccans are rushing to build in order to bring in a lot of money for them. profits, especially in the absence of price controls: we can see that a kilo of chicken in shopping centers is worth 3.25 euros, while in Muslim slaughterhouses it is found at 6.50 euros, almost double, but that is not the case. Encourages the Muslim community to eat halal
However, the question here is: is everything sold in these stores halal???
To shed light on this subject, we contacted an official of the Islamic Commission who was ready to answer a series of questions, the most important of which was: is everything sold in Islamic slaughterhouses “in parentheses” 100/100 halal? Is there strict control or a specialized inspection committee monitoring these massacres?
The official’s response was very diplomatic: “The Islamic Commission in Spain is not responsible for all meat and poultry sold in Islamic slaughterhouses and it does not have specialized commissions to monitor these violations, nor in terms of price nor in terms of price. “We, as the Islamic Commission, cannot confirm that the meat and poultry sold in these stores are halal. » 100/100”
After this statement, we had a dialogue with a group of Moroccan community members during which it was said: “We buy meat from Islamic slaughterhouses and we say in the name of God and we eat (and imitate them). ), that is to say: we buy in good faith provided that what is sold in the slaughterhouses is halal. Among them were those who said: “I buy meat and chicken in shopping malls, and I know very well that this is exactly the same as what is happening. sold in Islamic slaughterhouses and they claim it is halal. I save a lot of money because they sell us the same products at very high prices.
