No not all are slaughtered in the same way. Most people who kill animals kill the animal before they drain it. In Islam the cutting of the throat is the act of killing. The former is practical. The latter is according to Muslim law.

All turkey processing plants hang the birds upside down by their feet and then cut the head off.

I don’t want a Turkey killed in the name of Allah.

Won’t buy any Butterball products any more.

“animals killed in the name of anyone other than Allah (God)”

So who at butterball is killing all the turkeys in the name of Allah?

We could sneak in and kill a few in the name of Micky Mouse, scatter them among the many and contaminate the whole bunch.

“All foods are considered halal except the following, which are haram: ... animals without external ears;”

Does that mean turkeys have external ears? Where?

Kosher does not “just mean meat”. Though it is not prayed over, it is slaughtered in a particular way. It is also de-feathered differently (and not very well). It is soaked to remove the blood and acts much like brining. I have a kosher kitchen and therefore purchase only kosher products. One of the problems with halal is that it requires giving a particular % of profits to (Islamic) charity, it is done in Allah’s name, AND shar’iah law is immoral.

This is disturbing. I believe Islamic charities are fronts for terrorist organizations.

They are, as well as, halal meat processors.

They are all fronts for terrorism/jihad.

Jihad being more appropriate of a description of their behavior.

I can’t believe I started this thread without the infamous Sarah Palin Turkey video!

The fun starts at 2:20.

You bring up a good point. Maybe we could say a prayer of thanks for all turkeys killed for this Thanksgiving thus invalidating all other prayers. (Just kidding. I wouldn’t say a prayer in jest.)

Per the link to butter ball, mashbooh is “questionable.”

yes indeed. It is more than just allowing Muslims to eat it. It funds notoriously unreliable and terror-related charities.

However, I would buy it if a Christian was the last to bless the killing to cleanse it from the muzzie scum blessing. :-)
