Spencer on the Lefty Freak-Out Over the Distaste For ISNA-Approved Soup

Robert Spencer updates the Campbell soup flap, attempting the well-nigh impossible: breaking through the rock solid barrier of lefty cluelessness:

This story about Campbell's Soups in Canada introducing a halal line has gone all over the place -- mostly to hard-Left sites that, either out of ignorance or complicity, missed the main point. Many predictably cried "bigotry!," pretending that I was objecting to the idea of a halal soup line in general.
