When is halal meat not halal meat?
bbc ^ | 20 May 2009

Fast food chain KFC is trialling halal meat in certain restaurants, but some Muslims say it hasn't been killed in the correct Islamic way. Catrin Nye asks when is halal meat not halal meat? It may claim its food is "finger lickin' good", but until recently strict Muslims might have seen a problem with it. Now fast food chain Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) is trialling halal meat - meaning it has been killed in accordance with Islamic dietary laws - in eight of its UK restaurants. But the trial has sparked a debate over what is and what isn't halal, with some Muslims boycotting the restaurants because they say the meat has not been killed correctly.

The issue is whether meat can be halal if it has been slaughtered using mechanical methods. Traditionally, halal meat is killed by hand and must be blessed by the person doing the job. But some Muslims say a mechanised form is also now acceptable. Halal is the description of food and drink Muslims are allowed to consume under Islamic dietary laws defined in the Qur'an and in the sayings of the prophet Muhammad. Classifying of halal food can only be carried out by a Muslim expert in the laws. The meat is traditionally prepared by slaughtering the animal with a quick cut to the throat with a sharp knife to allow all blood to drain from the animal, the idea being that the meat is cleaner. The slaughterman is required to say the traditional proclamation of faith in one god as the animal is killed.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if it is possible for meat to be both Halal and Kosher?

How do they kill them? With a car bomb?

I guess you’re supposed to swing the chicken around by it’s neck while shouting “Durka, Durka, Jihad!” or something like that. Beheading is acceptable, but messy. Maybe the mechanized slaughter involves AK-47s and RPGs? They are certainly everyday appliances in many parts of the world.

How about a KFG franchise? Koran Fried Goat.

And Joe, that picture you posted is an abomination. The girl in the billboard in the background is not wearing proper attire. How could anyone choke down their chicken while seeing that?

They played a recording of a cleric reading prayers from the Koran, and so long as the prayer was playing the workers would run around grabbing chickens and slitting as many throats as possible. He described it as a vile bloody mess. But once the recording of the Koran ended the killing had to end too.

Musical Chickens. Damn, that just sounds SO stupid!

Sure, that's a chicken that had it's head blown off by an HK MP5 (Halal & Kosher, the German gunmakers).

Let someone file a class action suit and then deport any muzzie that chooses to become a plaintiff. Send them back to Saudi Arabia or Yemen or whatever sand-covered hellhole they’re from. We don’t want or need them here.

-Attach a black sheet with nonsensical scribbles to a wall.

-Each butcher must wear all black with hoods cover their faces.

-Read a story book out loud.

-Point vidio camera at chicken or whatever animal you intend to butcher.

-Cut off head while screaming allah Snack-bar.

-Now, go have sex with little boys or the camp camel.

There, now you know how to do it. Any questions?

Basically it comes down to whether the meat has been bought from muslims or not. Read the rants on Ask the Imam and other sites. They do not “trust” anyone else to handle their meat. It also helps to secure steady business for the Islamic supremacists.

They are to drown in their own blood. And yes PETA holds their tongue when it comes to blood sacrifice.

I know the entire racket about PETA. They’re not really about the animals, they’re just about using veganism as a vehicle for communism. Notice that they protest KFC and McDonald’s but never White Castle, Krystal’s, Popeye’s or Church’s where all the poor ghetto people live.

Speaking of Popeye’s, I’m going to get myself some of their apple pie.
