Whale will definitely never be certified kosher...ever.

Sooooo, muslims are prohibited from eating pork products then what do islamic suicide bombers eat? I want to avoid that food!

And Obama will lecture us about the famous Muslim whaling fleets off Nantucket. Because we are a Muslim country dontcha know.

[BitWielder1]

Don't the Japanese whalers claim they're only doing "scientific" hunting?
What's halal got to do with that?

Greenpeace will be confused though.
