Secret Selling of Halal Meat in the U.S.

The latest submission to Islam comes to us from the meat industry in both Europe and the United States. Recently I have been reporting on the little-noted but explosive new revelations that much of the meat in Europe is being processed as halal and sold without the halal label. This is not the exception, but the rule, and the people are being betrayed by their own elected officials. And it’s happening here, too.

Yes, folks, if you’re in Europe, and in many areas in America as well, the meat you are eating is probably halal, unless you’re keeping kosher. In a little-known strike against freedom, yet again, we are being forced into consuming meat slaughtered by means of a barbaric, torturous and inhuman method: Islamic slaughter.

Where are the PETA clowns and the ridiculous celebs who pose naked on giant billboards for PETA and “animal rights”? They would rather see people die of cancer or AIDS than see animals used in drug testing, but torturous and painful Islamic slaughter is OK.

Many people have written to me saying that they simply won’t eat halal meat, as they object to the methods used to slaughter the animal. And I agree. The Sharia term for halal slaughter is dhakat. Dhakat is to slaughter an animal by cutting the trachea, the esophagus, and the jugular vein, letting the blood drain out while saying “Bismillah allahu akbar”—in the name of Allah the greatest.

Did you really think the animals were killed by lethal injection. If this method offends you, become a Vegetarian, as animals have always been slaughtered in this manner as it is the best and safest way. Just be glad you weren't born a Pig

We slaughter our rabbits, chickens, ducks, and turkeys by slitting the throat and letting them bleed to death. Never heard of lethal injection, though. Do not think that would be a good thing with the addition of chemicals? It looks to me that Halal and Kosher are pretty much the same slaughter methods.

Well, there is only one thing to do- eat pork. Nothing better than bacon- mmmmm!

Allah translate to God in arabic - I don’t know.
But Allah as “revealed” to that narcistic, arrogant, pedophile Mohammad (may camels poo up his nostrils) IS NOT the God that Christians worship. The Quran clearly defines an aloof, vengeful, arbitrary overlord. There ain’t no love in their god - not a bit.

In pre-Islamic Arabia, Allah was used by Meccans as a reference to the creator-god, possibly the supreme deity.[15] Allah was not considered the sole divinity; however, Allah was considered the creator of the world and the giver of rain. The notion of the term may have been vague in the Meccan religion.[4] Allah was associated with companions, whom pre-Islamic Arabs considered as subordinate deities. Meccans held that a kind of kinship existed between Allah and the jinn.[16] Allah was thought to have had sons[17] and that the local deities of al-ʻUzzá, Manāt and al-Lāt were His daughters.[18] The Meccans possibly associated angels with Allah.[19][20] Allah was invoked in times of distress.[20][21] Muhammad's father's name was ‘Abdallāh meaning the “servant of Allāh.” or "the slave of Allāh"[20] http://alanpetersnewsbriefs.blogspot.com/2007/04/allah-origins.html Believe what you will.

I believe I provided a better source than Alan Peters. You're straining at gnats.

Aramaic is the ancient language of the Semitic family group, which includes the Assyrians, Babylonians, Chaldeans, Arameans, Hebrews, and Arabs. In fact, a large part of the Hebrew and Arabic languages is borrowed from Aramaic, including the Alphabet. The modern Hebrew (square) script is called "Ashuri", "Ashuri" is the Hebrew name for Assyrian, the name being used to signify the ancestor of the Assyrians, Ashur the son of Shem, the son of Noah (Genesis 10:22). Aramaic is quoted in the very first book of the Bible, Berisheth (Genesis) in Chapter 31:47. In fact, many portions of the Old Testament are penned originally in Aramaic, including Daniel chapter 2:4 thru chapter 7.

[Louis Foxwell]

Nowhere in Aramaic literature is allah synonomous with YHWH.

[TigersEye]

And neither the word ‘YHWH’ nor ‘eloi’ appear in the Aramaic concordance.

[kearnyirish2]

By me the many places (staffed/maybe owned by Muslims) doesn’t sell pork/ham breakfast sandwiches; it certainly is no stretch to guess that any beef product they sell is “halal”.

I guess the only way around this is to partake of the pig!

jehova, dios, god, allah...all the same person, all the god of abraham isaac and joseph.

Wrong kemosabe. You might want to do a bit more research before spouting off what you don't know:

Is Allah really another name for God?

Did the Meccans worship Yahweh God?

Ba'al, Hubal, and Allah

Just a few above to get you started. You've been a victim of islamic propaganda to make their religion more palatable. The truth is there is a great deal of scholarly opinion out there that that Allah is not only NOT yahweh, Jehovah, God, or Dios......He's in fact Baal....a pagan deity right out of the Old Testament.

[conservativegramma]

The Aramaic for 'God' is 'Allah.'

Uh no. Read this link for the truth.

The number of Americans who have been deceived by this nonsense is appalling.

[TigersEye]

Your argument depends entirely on believing that Allah and Baal do exist as other gods apart from the Judaic/Christian God. Otherwise the argument is meaningless. I’d say that is worse than straining at gnats.

[KarlInOhio]

Well, if this is true (any of it), just another reason I’m glad I’m a vegetarian...

That won't work for me. I'll just have to become a porkitarian. Are there any other meats that are prohibited to Muslims? I might want some variety.

[conservativegramma]

I’d say that is worse than straining at gnats.

The only straining of gnats I'm seeing is your zealousness to spread islamic propaganda. Speaks volumes.

[flintsilver7]

Are you playing or are you really this dense?

As you said, "the animal is killed by a knock to the head". The difference between halal and non-halal is that "regular" animals are generally killed quickly and painlessly (with a captive bolt, perhaps) and then bled out. Halal requires that the animal be alive prior to its throat being cut, which is presumably so they can revel in the animal's painful dying moments.

[TigersEye]

Whatever.

[flintsilver7]

Poultry is generally beheaded after an electrically-induced stun, which is painless. Rabbits are generally quickly paralyzed (via breaking the neck) and then beheaded immediately.

If you cannot see there is an enormous difference in the quick and relatively painless killing of American slaughterhouses and the extremely painful and torturous method of Islamic slaughterhouses, I can’t help you.

all the god of abraham isaac and joseph

Muslims would say that Allah is the G-d or Abraham and Ishmael. And that Issac & Jacob were infidels.

Doesn't even come close to what you're doing. You are aiding and abetting islamic jihad by spreading the myth that Allah is another word for God. From the link:

"If Allah is the Arabic word for God then Allah is a liar and that would disqualify him for the position of God. There are scores of Qur'an verses that either say that Allah is the name of Muhammad's god or that Ilah is the Arabic word for God."

A few verses from the Qu'ran:

Qur'an 3:62 "This is the true account, the true explanation: There is no Ilah (God) except Allah."

Qur'an 52:43 "Have they an ilah (god) other than Allah?

Qur'an 21:107 "Say: (Muhammad) 'It is revealed to me that your Ilah (God) is only one Ilah (God). Will you submit to His Will? But if they (disbelievers, Christians, and Jews) turn away (from Islam) say: 'I give notice (of war) to be known to all. But I know not whether the (torment which you are) promised and threatened is nigh or far."

Qur'an 114:1 "Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of men and jinn [demons], the King of men and jinn, the Ilah (God) of men and jinn."

Qur'an 20:8 "Allah! There is no Ilah (God) save Him. His are the most beautiful Names. To Him belong the most beautiful attributes."

Those are just a FEW! "Muslims have a perfectly good word for 'god' and they use it with great regularity. They say, "There is no ilah but Allah, and Muhammad is His Messenger."

The deception that Allah is another word for God that you are helping them spread is the very center of Islamic Jihad. Allah must be presented as Yahweh or the qu'ran is so much toilet paper and Mohammed couldn't have been in the line of biblical prophets. Consequently, islam fails in the west and cannot be taken seriously, ergo the propaganda campaign begins to spread. Just a few centuries ago no self-respecting muslem would have EVER tried to make the claim that Allah was Yahweh. He would have lost his head - literally.

"Allah is the name of the Islamic god - it was never the Arabic word for 'God.' Qur'an 5.4 - Pronounce the Name of Allah: and fear Allah; for Allah is swift in reckoning."
