Who created this controversy?
Recently, some internet propagandists launched a cowardly campaign against Lays Pakistan - manufacturers of delicious Lays chips in Pakistan.
Emails were mass-circulated to a large number of people informing them that Lays chips contains pig fat which is HARAM in Islam.
Emails were sent to thousands or possibly millions of people - a proof that this was a work of a habitual spammer wanting to create confusion among people and causing financial loss to the company he is targeting.
Hidden behind the safety of the internet, the identity of the culprits remains unknown. Most probably it is a bunch of mullahs who haven't yet found any better use of the internet.
Should we care if it's halal or haram?
In a country where most of the people drink water that is as dirty as sewerage water, eat food that is mostly infested with chemicals or pesticides that won't go away no matter how much you cook it, where packed milk contains chemicals such as urea and bleaching powder, does it really matter to us that a product that is less commonly used allegedly contains some traces of a HARAM item?
If we go by the spirit of Islam, HARAM is a terminology used for anything that is not liked by god, but it has been left upon muslims to decide if they want to go for it or not. Eating HARAM is not a sin, it does not make you a non-muslim!
There is a brighter side to this controversy though, Lays has increased the quantity of their chips in each pack size without increasing the price - so grab your favorite flavor and enjoy!

'Eating HARAM is not a sin'???????? Please don't say anything without reference. What Quranic, Adees references do you have for this your own-created statement? If you like Lays or want to promote its sale, please do it in a fair manner. Don't pass illogical and fake statements. Please be honest with yourself and your religion.

What the hell is this ? I thought you were a smart intellectual person ... You should stop blogging or go back to school
I don't think going back to school will change my statement.
But I am sure if you go back to school and learn what is a sin and what is not, you will be forced to believe in my statement
have u gone insane...eating something haram does matter a lot to most of muslims....n if lays got some haram thing in it ....it must b banned for sure.

Well, it may not be a matter of concern for non Muslims, but as Muslim, we CAN NOT eat Haraaam.
