 -   while this heavy topic is certainly a major critique of
     capitalism as such, i certainly would not mix in here any sort of
     religion-related things. hence leveraging "Halaal" for this is
     quite disturbing.
 - I skipped the whole thing because I suspected it would just annoy me for no other reason than that one term. (Maybe this was excessively prejudicial of me, but seriously, not my religion, I suspect I'd be unwelcome.) (maybe this is an English-specific thing, Do Not Mention Religion, because last time we mentioned it we had centuries of religious wars.)
