"Don't you go about blaming this on islam!"

Mohammad Abdul Wahid, 54, of Queens, New York, and Mohammed Iqbal Kabir, 42, from the Bronx, were each charged with conspiracy to commit human trafficking-related offenses; conspiracy to harbor undocumented persons for financial gain; and violating the Fair Labor Standards Act, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced in a news release.
Between July 2011 and January 2016, Wahid owned and operated the Halal chicken slaughterhouse in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, which followed the traditional Islamic practice of Muslim individuals slaughtering poultry.
Wahid and Kabir reportedly employed Muslim illegal immigrants to work at the slaughterhouse, paying them only $290 a week in cash based on 70 to 100 hours a week.
The defendants allegedly did not pay overtime and forced employees to live in a boarding house nearby, which deducted $40 a week from each paycheck. That house was infested with insects and did not have hot water or heat.
Wahid and Kabir reportedly threatened employees that complained about work and living conditions with calls to the police for potential deportation.
The pair is now facing up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for the human trafficking charge alone. For harboring illegal immigrants and violating the Fair Labor Standards Act, they face up to 10 years in prison and an additional maximum of six months in prison, along with a an up to $260,000 fine.

A problem for sure. Poor victims.
Say what you will, our society is enriched beyond measure because of the diversity we cherish so!
This would be front page if it was a Christian owned business.
it is sad, the horrid conditions these people were made to live in, were probably still an improvement over where they came from.
this situation is the definition of the Arabic word islam (not the religion) = SLAVE.
I dont believe it! Only a white American could be capable of such things!
I know a guy who saw one of these in operation.
He said it was surreal.
First they herded a bunch of chickens into a pen. Then the workers came in carrying long Scimitar-like knives. Then they started playing a recording of a Muslim cleric reading a prayer. The workers immediately flew into action, chasing the chickens and slitting throats as they went. Blood and feathers were flying everywhere!
As soon as the cleric’s prayer ended it all came to a dead stop. It seems they are only allowed to slit throats so long as the prayer reading is in progress. Surreal!
Surreal indeed!
That’s right, to a Muslim this is normal behavior.
Under traditional Islamic practice slaughtering and butchering is done by slaves. So they were following halal methods.
Muslim immigrants. Just selling the slaves Americans refuse to sell.
Diversity is oour strenth, right?
Diversity is our doom.
That’s good. At least their slaves are as clean as their meat.
