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'

Honestly I don't care, just as long as they're not copulating with the dead carcass.
I used to like WND, but over the years it's gotten pretty absurd.
Joseph Farah still puts out a good op-ed now and then.
cheers.
As Jesus said, it’s not what goes into a man’s mouth that defiles him, but what comes out of it. Meaning vile speech, rudeness, blasphemy, etc.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Sounds like a lot of words for each bird...wonder who actually says it or is it recorded or do they slit a bunch of throats and say it all at once....curious minds want to know.
Having spinach lasagne. No worries here.
They hate the West.
Why are they here ?
However, if you baste it with bacon grease that nixes the hex.
: )
PETA will sound off on this any second now.
*holds breath*
But I don’t want to eat it because God doesn’t want that for me, so though it wouldn’t defile my body, it is not for me. And it’s not absurd to know these types of things.
Unless the spinach came from Qatar.
But I’m just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He’s just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go - will you let me go
Bismillah! No - we will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let me go
Will not let you go - let me go (never)
Never let you go - let me go
Never let me go - ooo
No, no, no, no, no, no, no -
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
for me
for me
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh baby - can’t do this to me baby
Just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here

Guess we won’t be buying a Gutterball turkey today.
“or do they slit a bunch of throats and say it all at once.”
This reminds me of a story about Benjamin Franklin as a young boy. They used to eat a lot of salt pork. Franklin, wanting to save time, asked if they could dispense with the blessing before each meal, and just say it once over the pork barrel.
Happy Thanksgiving.
I like your godlet there. My personal fave is Phwammmm, the All-Powerful God (from Marx [toys]!)
No worries...I bought Jennie-O. Besides, even if it we “pre-blessed” to Allah, the blessing I ask for from Almighty God trumps that demonic crapola any day!
So, they can take their “Allah FUBAR” turkeys and let ‘em rot for all I care.
It's like eating a sacrifice to Satan.
I'm not eating one. The darn things have been cursed.
