wtf? You did not post a link from the restaurant chains in the middle east. Outside of the middle east they are not HALAL. HALAL does not meant clean. It means slaughtered according to the way acceptable to Islam. Even if it was HALAL and these guys decided to take a bath in the sink, it wouldn't be clean.

What state policy are you talking about? Why would the US government be bothered about the operations in overseas countries or vice versa?

What in the world are ghava cups or orry water tanks? ....
