An oddity of timing for an Islamic cultural event

Perhaps yesterday was not the best day to schedule a halal food festival in the Philly suburbs?

If it wasn’t so serious, the latest Islamic attack on America’s Jewish and Christian foundation would be comical.

As has been recounted by various American Thinker writers, the Islamic pernicious offense marches on, mostly unabated. The lack of serious pushback, to date, is scandalous.

Many if not all rabbis, of every Judaic denomination, assert that they do not want to infuse negativity into Jewish classes or religious services. But what about during the rest of the time? And it appears the Christian world has ignored this growing encroachment as well.

While our population is being coddled with a dearth of danger warnings, many Islamic youths and adults are trained in martial arts and inundated with continuing lies regarding Middle East history. Specifically maddening are the global lies that persist regarding the horrific events of the Hamas attacks against mostly Israeli civilians on October 7. Defying logic, after about 1,200 Israelis were gang-raped, burned alive, and murdered, and over 200 kidnapped, some already dead, their bodies paraded through the streets of Gaza as trophies, the world blamed and continues to blame Israel.

Islamic tactics do not change. Yesterday, September 19, 2026, was the day before the start of the Jewish most sacred religious holiday: Yom Kippur. For 24 hours, Jews do not eat or drink. They repent of anything they have done to hurt another human being and ask him and G-d for forgiveness.

However, in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, a unique event occurred at the mammoth mall there, owned by the Simon Company. In an outside parking lot area, stretching for blocks, a halal food festival was permitted. Such an event is a first. The area was filled with what appeared to be

AI:

Yes, Orthodox Christians generally may eat halal food, though opinions among clergy and believers vary.

General PerspectivesPermissible view: Many Orthodox Christians and clergy view halal food as acceptable to eat, treating it simply as meat or food as long as it is consumed with thanksgiving and outside of Orthodox fasting periods. Proponents note that buying food from a market does not mean participating in a non-Christian religious ritual.

Restricted view: Some Orthodox clergy and adherents advise against eating halal meat because of the ritual slaughter (Dhabihah) process, where an Islamic invocation or prayer (Bismillah) is spoken over the animal. Those who object may compare it to meat sacrificed to idols or feel it compromises their personal conscience.

In any event, say the Orthodox blessing for food!

Time for a boycott of this mall and any others owned by the same company.

Good luck. This mall is booming. They bus thousands down from New York City every week to shop.
