CII members urge a ban on the display of skinned chicken
Talking to reporters, one of the Council members, Mufti Abul Taymiyya, said that displaying skinned chickens should be considered an act of vulgarity. He added that the Council was not against the slaughtering and skinning of chickens but it should be done within the four walls of the kitchen.Islamabad: In a meeting of the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII), the Council advised the government that strict action should be taken against restaurant owners who display skinned chickens in front of their eateries.
‘Display of skinned chickens triggers all kinds of bad thoughts in public,’ he said.
Heeding the advice of the CII, the Minister of Religious Affairs ordered a crackdown against restaurants and shops in Islamabad that were openly displaying raw skinned chickens.
One eatery owner whose business was sealed and his skinned chickens taken into custody, told our reporter that he respected the CII’s concerns and decree, but the government and the CII should not only blame restaurant owners.
‘The government should tell the CII the truth’, he said. ‘These chickens like to be displayed. It is the duty of the government to supply us with hens that are not fed on imported Dutch chicken fodder. This makes them want to be skinned and displayed in public, unlike the chickens that are fed Saudi chicken fodder. It is not our fault. It is the fault of the chickens.’
The Minister has assured the restaurant owners that he will personally look into the matter and punish those chicken-sellers who were feeding their chicken Dutch fodder. He also told them that not only will the accused chicken-sellers be punished; the chickens too will be taken into custody.

‘The government cannot ignore such acts of vulgarity,’ the Minister said in a statement. He added: ‘I thank the CII for pointing out such an important issue and appeal to the public to boycott restaurants that are insulting the sensibilities of their fellow brethren, sisteren, fatheren and motheren with such acts of impropriety. “
The Minister then announced the launch of an operation against the display of skinned chicken by slaughtering two chickens with his own hands in a kitchen and then skinning them. He then put the skinned chicken in a refrigerator.
Though the CII welcomed the Minister’s initiative, its members su
ggested that the government publically flog a few skinned chickens to more forcefully exhibit its resolve to curb and banish such acts of obscenity.
The Minister said that the flogging advice will be put up for debate in the next National Assembly session.
