There are several problems with this that clearly show the conspiracy mindset of the islamophobes :
A "conspiracy mindset" is perfectly appropriate where there are good reasons to suspect a conspiracy - eg big business's long record of shady and immoral practices like sneaking GM food into the food chain.
1. That ASDA would not answer the inquiry because of fear. That's uninformed nonsense. There is a wide variety of reasons why they wouldn't answer. Maybe they didn't have enough time or resources to collect the information in time.
Or maybe they have knowingly been selling unwitting non-Muslim consumers halal meat
3. The idea that supermarkets pander to muslims by selling halal meat that is not labelled as halal.
The writer below goes on to explain that production has been turned over to halal to meet MUSLIM DEMAND.
He somehow has to think that there is some secret way in which muslims know that meat is halal even though it is not labelled as halal.
Or maybe Muslims are simply better informed about such things.
Maybe some secret publications by the supermarkets that only muslims get to read where it says that "our meat is halal even though it is not labelled as such". Maybe he thinks that being able to sell halal meat to non-muslims without their knowledge somehow makes muslims happy. Maybe he thinks that eating halal meat can turn you into a muslim. Or maybe he thinks that that is what muslims believe?
Caricaturing opponents of shariaization as cranks is of course standard practice among Muslims and their useful idiots and denotes an inability to seriously address the oppositions points.
The answer is quite simple or pure 100% market economy. Big Meat producers produce halal meat only because they also want to sell it to muslim markets.
IE the DEMAND by MUSLIMS for halal meat is the driving force for the halalization of animal slaughter in non-Muslim countries
Having separate facilities to produce non-halal meat would produce costs for installation, logistics and so forth. So, they only produce halal meat.
In other words they have either:
a) consciously decided that possible non-Muslim objections to halal meat will cost them less money than failing to meet Muslim demand for halal.
b) not even considered the matter of possible non-Muslim objections
So, why then is some of it not labelled as halal?
Because non-Muslim customers might not buy it and they'd lose money?
To sell halal meat with a halal certificate on it means you have to pay license fees to some islamic organization that verifies the slaughter follows halal requirements. Fees are paid not based on the amount of halal meat produced but based on the number of meat certified.
1) What for? If the customers don't demand halal meat, they certainly won't care if the meat is halal or not as long as all legal requirements regarding animal protection were observed.
The writer has already established above that the turning over of hitherto non-halal production to halal is the result of MUSLIM DEMAND.
