Waleed Aly eats non-Halal certified chocolate to show up Pauline Hanson

Waleed Aly has undermined Pauline Hanson's campaign to encourage Australians to buy non-Halal certified chocolate by eating some himself.

Hanson yesterday released a video urging Australians not to buy Cadbury eggs this Easter because they had been halal-certified.

Instead she endorsed Lindt and Darrell Lea because they were not "financially supporting the Islamisation of Australia".

"Go and buy some non-halal Easter eggs and chocolate, and have a happy Easter everyone," Hanson said.

But The Project host Waleed Aly very willingly poked holes in Hanson's logic yesterday.

"I eat these all the time. These are awesome," the prominent Muslim entertainer said while holding a Lindt chocolate bunny.

Aly then unwrapped the foil and took a bite for all to see.

"That's entirely Halal. It's all vegetarian."

Halal certification is a formal procedure to determine that a food product does not contain pork, blood or alcohol.
