The meaning of Halal
Simply stated, food that is Halal Certified is food that has been prepared in accordance with Muslim Sharia law. Note the following information we got from HalalChoices.com website:
“To be halal certified the animal must be facing Mecca, have its throat cut while still alive and then ritually sacrificed by a Muslim who recites a prayer dedicating the slaughter to Allah. Fees must be paid to one of the certifying organisations for this service. Islamic certifying organisations benefit financially from providing this service. They receive a constant stream of funds to support Islamic projects which contribute to the advancement of sharia (Islamic law) here and around the world.” source – Halal Choices
Now, is this true? Are Butterball turkeys Halal Certified?
We found this on the official Butterball website:
“As an international turkey provider, we have the expertise in serving different countries and different customs, and will work with you to meet any and all product needs. We have met the requirements for the following certifications: USDA Approved, Russian Approved, Halal Certified, and employ a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HAACP) food safety system with Good Manufacturing processes. From great customer service to new product innovation to the proper certifications, Butterball has the experience you need to get our great tasting turkey in your market.” source – Butterball web site
Butterball turkeys are, by their own admission, certified for consumption under strict Sharia Law guidelines. This means that the animals must be facing Mecca when they are killed, and that they are killed in the name of Allah. A fee is paid for this certification by Butterball to Sharia-based certifying organizations who in turn send the money to support Islamic programs, including Jihad, all over the world. If you buy a Butterball turkey, a percentage from that sale is sent directly to Islamic programs.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Well no more BB for me. I’ll buy the Safeway Select.

Oops!! Make the replacing “Jews” with “Muslims”! Sorry about that!
Or stuff it with bacon and gizzards remove Allah from the bird.
I don’t have a choice about putting gas into my SUV. I do have a choice on what I can put on my table.
I believe this applies to specific foreign market turkeys and not all domestic ones:

“Mossberg certified?”
I find Remington Certified are more tender, while Saiga Certified are way too chewy...
Where on the site does it say ALL Butterball turkeys are “halal”?
This sounds to me like they do business in different countries and make sure their product meets the demands of their consumers.
I’m not too freaked out about it....it isn’t helping terrorists, it is helping feed people who want to buy their food.
Allah didn’t eat it. No sense in it going to waste.
Gas is a global commodity. It doesn’t matter who you buy it from. The gallon you bought was not available to someone else who then had to get theirs from Muslim terrorists. The Muslims could sell all their oil to China - That just means that China needs that much less from Canada, making it available to you and vice versa. And that doesn’t even take into account the ubiquity of chinese products you buy made using that Muslim oil.
I’ve never done any turkey hunting but for most of my life they weren’t common around here but now we’re overrun with them.
I once backed up an inspector in central Virginia
The commodity was turkey gizzards being exported to the Nigerian military. The fact the turkey’s are killed properly doesn’t mean that the turkey is in play.
The cheap unwanted parts get shipped

Since we traditionally make a Christmas Lasagna, I'm hoping for an explosion of wild Pasta and Cheese.
Pretty soon the only Holiday Meal Shopping will be at the ammunition counter at Cabalas.
I boycott Tyson products simply because of Don Tyson. He’s the Larry Flynt of the poultry world.
Last paragraph looks like your own, not from ButterBall.
Have you actually seen this particular processing line? Having seen the usual poultry processing lines, doubt it’d be possible to have all the turkeys facing East, but if you can say for sure, who am I to question?
If there is clear verifible evidence this company is supporting terrorists, then that is not OK. If they just say the turkeys are camel-jock certified even though the birds are processed like any other then why the stink? What about beef, chicken, corn, rice, wheat, some of that must be selling to muslims as well?
American turkey growers and American faqrmers produce a lot of food for the whole world. Why knock them on hearsay?.

Stuff bacon in it, put it in the oven, and then moon in the direction of Mecca.
And tell Mohammed to shove it up his smelly Obama.
