By the way, is Shoney's "halal"? May God forgive their sins!

From some of my readings on Ask The Imam I doubt it. Prayers must be said over the animal at the time of its' slaughter. On Ask The Imam, some people have asked if Christian prayers or Kosher prepared foods are acceptable.

Since there is uncertainty in the above slaughter manner, the Jurists are unanimous that it is not permissible to consume meat which is doubtful. Unless there is certainty that the Ahlul-kitaab read the 'Tasmiyah' i.e. take the name of God when slaughtering an animal then only will the meat be permissible. We suggest that the Muslims in the U.S.A. and U.K. slaughter the animals themselves. A committee be appointed and look into ways to facilitate for Halaal meat slaughtered by Muslims. This will make them independent from Christian/Jewish sources.

Another proposition may be that the meat sold on the market are packed, sealed and stamped by a Muslim organisation consisting of reliable scholars and Úlama who have proper Islamic knowledge of the principles pertaining to Halaal/Haraam of the Shariáh.

Remember that al-taqiyyah and al-shariya (sp?) make it all right to eat the food, drink the liquor, even go to the titty bars if they want as long as it is to fool the infidel. Isn't that what OBLs handbook said?

hypocrites. slimy worms.
