>>Seriously people, who gives a crap? if the animal is killed with a spike to the brain or a knife to the throat, I don’t see why anyone should care.<<

Christians should care. It’s not just how they slaughter the animal. It’s also dedicated to Allah as an offering. Christians may want to read the Bible to see how God feels about eating something that has been offered to idols.

St Paul basicaly said it is no problem, but don’t do it as part of the sacrifical meal.

allah means god. You know what name arabic speaking christians pray to? They pray to Allah. Allah is not an idol.

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

I think that if we unknowingly eat meat that has been offered to other gods, God will forgive us. Since now we are aware that this is done, we can always ask the butcher if he knows the history of the meat we're about to purchase.

Blessing our meals and prayer before eating is important now. It would break any curse placed upon our foods. God will take care of the rest. He's cool that way. He gives us many ways to protect ourselves just as long as we look up to Him.

Hey, I know, let's actually do that:

4So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that an idol is nothing at all in the world and that there is no God but one. 5For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords"), 6yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.

7But not everyone knows this. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat such food they think of it as having been sacrificed to an idol, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled. 8But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.
--I Cor 8:4-8

It doesn't make any difference at all.
