I don’t understand what you are so upset about. It just means that Muslims can eat it. Until the other day, I thought that Kosher meant that the Rabbis prayed over the food. A friend of mine said Kosher just means meat. lol. All these years I didn’t eat Kosher because I thought it was prayed on by Rabbis and could not eat another religions food with their prayers. Man I do feel silly but I believe it is the same with Halal. It just means that Muslims can eat it. It does NOT mean that an Iman is praying over the food because TRUST ME when I say, if that was the case, I would not eat it.

Had I known this, I would not have bought a Butterball. Halal means the animal is slaughtered by the same method that Nick Berg was slaughtered. That’s literal. It is prayed over in the name of Allah, and knifed through the neck the same, slow, way.
I may just take the damned bird back.

“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.

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.
