hahahaha I know where your coming from, but usually its more expensive because it takes more time to produce in a halal manner than its western cohorts.
For example Halal meat is more expensive, because their are certain requirements in making the meat halal, where as in america its not uncommon to for Perdue to feed its cows and chickens....ground up cows and chickens or their own manure.
Clothes are more expensive...casue they dont use slave labor from china,india,indonesia etc.. to manufacture them. their usually made by hand.
So dont think of it as paying for overpriced stuff, think of it as buying items that are guaranteed quality items that no person was getting paid 2 cents on or wasnt injected with hormones, or genetically engineered. That being said I rather put more money in muslim owned products than in the hands of corporate America
