ʻO ka ʻike mua e pili ana i nā mea e hana nei i nā hale pepehi kanaka i hele mai iaʻu ma hope o ka heluhelu ʻana i ka "Fast Food Nation", nāna i haʻi e pili ana i ka mālama weliweli ʻana i nā holoholona i nā hale pepehi. ʻO ka ʻōlelo ʻana ua weliweli wau ʻaʻole ia e ʻōlelo. I kēlā manawa, ua ʻike au i koʻu naʻaupō i kēia kumuhana. ʻO kekahi hapa, ʻo koʻu naʻaupō paha ma muli o nā manaʻo naʻaupō e pili ana i ke ʻano o ka mokuʻāina "pale" i nā holoholona i hānai ʻia no ka meaʻai, hana i nā kūlana kūpono no lākou a pēlā aku. Hiki iaʻu ke ʻae i ka hana hoʻopailua o nā holoholona a me ke kaiapuni ma US, akā ʻokoʻa kā mākou poʻe Kanada, ʻeā? ʻO ia koʻu mau manaʻo.
Ua ʻike ʻia ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻaʻohe kānāwai ma Kanada e pāpā ana i ka hana ʻino holoholona i nā hale hana. Hiki ke hahau ʻia nā holoholona, hoʻopaʻa ʻia, ʻokiʻoki ʻia, me ka hoʻohui ʻana i nā kūlana pōʻino i hala ko lākou ola pōkole. ʻO kēlā mau kūlana āpau i kuhikuhi ʻia e ka Canadian Food Inspectorate ʻaʻole i hoʻohana maoli ʻia i ka ʻimi ʻana i ka hana ʻana i ka ʻiʻo hou aʻe. ʻO kaʻiʻo a me kaʻoihana waiu ma Kanada, e like me nā'āina'ē aʻe, pili i ka pōʻino nui i ke kaiapuni, ke olakino, a,ʻoiaʻiʻo, heʻano weliweli i nā holoholona.
Me ka hoʻolaha ʻana o nā ʻike ʻoiaʻiʻo a pau e pili ana i ka ʻoihana ʻiʻo, ua hoʻomaka ka neʻe mau ʻana o nā kamaʻāina mālama, me ka poʻe Mahometa, nāna i hana i kahi koho e makemake ai i kahi meaʻai mea kanu etika.
ʻAʻole ia he mea kupanaha, he kumu hoʻopaʻapaʻa nā Muslim vegetarian, inā ʻaʻole hoʻopaʻapaʻa. Ua ʻōlelo ka poʻe akeakamai Islam, e like me Gamal Al-Banna: .
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Al-Banna:
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Hamza Yusuf Hanson, he Muslim ʻAmelika kaulana, i ka hopena maikaʻi ʻole o ka ʻoihana ʻiʻo i ke kaiapuni a me nā loina, a me ke olakino ma muli o ka ʻai nui ʻana i ka ʻiʻo. Manaʻo ʻo Yusuf mai kona manaʻo, ʻo nā pono holoholona a me ka mālama ʻana i ke kaiapuni ʻaʻole nā manaʻo haole o ka hoʻomana Muslim, akā he kauoha a ke Akua. Eia kekahi, ʻo ka noiʻi a Yusuf e hōʻike ana e ʻai ana ke kāula Islam ʻo Muhammad a me nā Mahometa mua i ka ʻiʻo i kēlā me kēia manawa.
ʻAʻole manaʻo hou ka Vegetarianism no kekahi mau Sufists. No ka laʻana, ʻo Chishti Inayat Khan, nāna i hoʻolauna i nā loina Sufi i ke Komohana, ʻo ka mea hope loa ʻo Sufi Sheikh Bawa Muhayaddin, ka mea i ʻae ʻole i ka ʻai ʻana i nā huahana holoholona i mua o kona alo. ʻO Rabia mai ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Basra (Iraq) kekahi o nā wahine haipule Sufi i mahalo nui ʻia.
Inā ʻoe e nānā mai kahi ʻano ʻē aʻe o ka hoʻomana, hiki iā ʻoe, ʻoiaʻiʻo, loaʻa nā hoa kūʻē o ka vegetarianism. Ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei ka Ministry of Religious Endowments o ʻAigupita. ʻO ka wehewehe ʻana i ke ola o nā holoholona i kēia ao, akā naʻe, aia ma nā ʻāina he nui, me nā Muslim. Ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei au he hopena pololei kēia o ka wehewehe ʻana i ka manaʻo o Khalifa ma ka Qurʻan.
ʻO ka hua'ōlelo Arabic, e like me ka unuhiʻana e ka poʻe akamai Islamʻo Dr. Nasr lāuaʻo Dr. Khalid,ʻo ia hoʻi "ke kahu, kahu" nāna e mālama i ke kaulike a me ka pono o ka Honua. Ke ʻōlelo nei kēia poʻe loea i ka manaʻo o Khalifa ʻo ia ka "ʻaelike" nui i komo ʻole ʻia e ko mākou ʻuhane me ke Akua Mea Hana, a nāna e hoʻokele i kā mākou hana āpau ma kēia ao.
(Koran 40:57). ʻO ka honua ke ʻano maikaʻi loa o ka hana ʻana, ʻoiai ʻo ke kanaka kona malihini a he ʻano liʻiliʻi o ke ʻano. Ma kēia pili, pono kākou nā kānaka e hoʻokō i kā mākou mau hana ma ke ʻano o ka haʻahaʻa, ka haʻahaʻa, ʻaʻole ke kiʻekiʻe ma luna o nā ʻano ola ʻē aʻe.
Wahi a ka Qur'an, no ke kanaka a me ke aupuni holoholona ka waiwai o ka Honua. (Koran 55:10).
