Apologies if this has already been posted
As you sit down with your family on Thanksgiving and consider offering a prayer of gratitude, be aware the turkey at the center of the table may have already been "blessed" – in the name of Allah.
Customer service representatives from Butterball, one of America's most popular Turkey brands, confirmed to WND that the company's whole turkeys are – without being labeled as such – slaughtered according to Islamic "halal" standards.
"Halal slaughter involves cutting the trachea, the esophagus and the jugular vein and letting the blood drain out while saying, 'Bismillah allahu akbar' – 'in the name of Allah the greatest,'" explains Pamela Geller, author of "Stop the Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance." "Many people refuse to eat it on religious grounds. Many Christians, Hindus or Sikhs and Jews find it offensive to eat meat slaughtered according to Islamic ritual."

I dunno about you all; but I'm about damned tired of this horse crap!
I know mine have!
I agree. Leave my turkey sandwiches alone, which is a ritual around here. I don’t pay any attention to these people. I don’t care what they say while they are killing the turkey.
No, but it was on Dancing With The Stars for a couple of weeks..............
Yes, but the idol wasn’t hungry and I am!
I’ll bless mine with bacon in the cornbread dressing, just in case.
As a Christian, the Jews are you rbrothers, serving the same God.
Last I checked, the assault on our culture / holidays and such is not coming from the Jewish direction.
It is not what enters man that defiles him, but what eminates from man condemns him.
I say “pissmillah on Allah” when I go to the bathroom after eating Thanksgiving dinner to reverse the curse.
They used an “auto pen” for the blessing.
Make sure you have some cheese with that, as well, just to be sure.
this is as ridiulous as worrying about whether the turkey had a fulfilled and rewarding life.
i’m sure praying an our father and a hail mary over the bird at dinner time will reverse any spells by the imam.
World Nut Daily trying to stir up some trouble in order to get hits and make some banner ad money.
Agree- Go to HoneyBaked Ham. Only boycotts will send the message. When Catholics and Christians stop doing business at “Holiday” Greetings store, car dealerships, departmental stores, they WILL get the message.
No we don’t. Correction. We believe in a Trinitarian God.
Yeah. What about what WE want?
“I got a better idea; how about Jews and Muslims leave our Christian Holidays the hell alone?”
1. I don’t see Jewish people doing anything here. I see muslims passing off halal meet as normal meat.
2. Since when is Thanksgiving a “Christian Holiday”? Last I checked the puritans were rather welcoming to Jewish immigrants. Indeed, Rhode Island Colony was specifically formed to attract Jewish and Quaker immigrants.
Oh, and you’re a stupid putz.
Just stuff it with bacon and that will cancel out the halal.
Nancy Grace?
