Nuthin but cheap turkey for me anyway.
So that button that pops up is detonator switch?
I’ve eaten my last Butterball. I won’t support a company that supports Muslims.
I do not know how slaughtering these turkeys using halal and Kosher rules means BB is supporting terrorism.
What has been verified is that BB uses halal and Kosher rules for slaughter, they have not verified they yell islamic slogans.
Or you can support terrorism without the blessing by filling your gas tank...
I only eat shotgun killed certified turkeys.
Sadly, we only learned this after purchasing a Butterball turkey breast. I think Tyson products are halal, too. If they aren’t, then we’ve boycotted them for no reason. Gotta check the Tyson website now.
Of course, turkey is halal.
Here’s the BS. It’s the kosher tax canard dressed up with new characters.
” 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.”
Here’s the original version of this old anti-Semitic canard: “The “Kosher tax” (or “Jewish tax”) is a canard or urban legend spread by antisemitic, white supremacist and other extremist organizations. They state that unwilling food companies and unwitting consumers are forced to pay money to Jewish organizations to support Zionist causes and Israel.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosher_tax_(antisemitic_canard))
These folks are getting intellectually pretty lazy. They’re simply recycling anti-Semitic BS and replacing “Muslims” with “Jews”. I’m waiting for the “Protocols of the Elders of Istanbul”.
That should be a hoot.
Well no more BB for me. I’ll buy the Safeway Select.
Happy Thanksgiving
I believe this applies to specific foreign market turkeys and not all domestic ones:

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.
This is good to know.
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.
