That’s fowl. A Queens food truck worker captured a pigeon using a plastic bag and ominously brought it back to his cart, according to shocking viral footage of the incident. A commuter waiting for a bus spotted the worker feeding the birds next to the MS Halal truck near the Rego Center Mall on Queens Boulevard on Dec. 29.

In three years, he allegedly sold 3.1 tons of pork, passing it off as veal , according to the Swiss version of 20 Minutes , which broke the story. The deception is twofold. Scam On the one hand, the religious men who bought their meat from his shop unwittingly broke their tradition . On the other hand, the butcher made significant profits since pork is much...

Following an inspection by a food safety officer, the butcher has now been held accountable. A halal butcher sells—in theory—halal meat: that is, meat permitted under Islamic law, and therefore, *a fortiori*, not pork. This Zurich-based butcher, however, does not appear to share that view.

https://babylonbee.com/news/heaven-confirms-people-who-prefer-ham-at-thanksgiving-will-not-enter-the-kingdom HEAVEN — Celestial sources have recently confirmed that people who prefer ham to turkey at Thanksgiving will not enter the kingdom of God. According to the Almighty, preferring ham on the fourth Thursday of November is a sure sign of reprobation and will lead to a person's eternal damnation if they do not repent. "It is harder for one who prefers ham to enter the kingdom of Heaven than it is for a man to thread a needle," said Gabriel, a heavenly spokesangel. "Woe unto them who reject the grace of God by choosing the much-inferior ham to the...

KFC has enraged some Canadians after quietly switching to Halal chicken and removing pork from its menu to abide by Muslim dietary restrictions in Ontario. The American company sent a memo to its Ontario franchises in May informing them of the initiative, which they called 'a testament to our commitment to provide diverse and inclusive menu options.' The memo outlined that the Ontario restaurants - except those in Thunder Bay and Ottawa - must ensure all chicken products are Halal Certified and that pork products be discontinued. Moreover, KFC said it trained restaurant staff on 'Halal operational Procedures.' Ontario has...

NEW YORK — In May 2019, a senior official at the USDA was told by his then-chief-of-staff that Sen. Bob Menendez would call his personal cell phone in around an hour. The agriculture official, Ted McKinney, had been trying to get Egyptian officials to reverse their decision to grant a new company a monopoly certifying halal meat exported to that country. That decision, he recalled from the witness stand of Menendez’s corruption trial Friday, was “very unusual” and could hurt American beef interests. McKinney said that he would “never forget the words” Menendez told him during the brief call: “Stop...

The Canadian government is exploring options to broaden access to financing alternatives, including halal mortgages. This initiative is part of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s efforts to support Canadians aspiring to become homeowners, with a particular focus on the Muslim community. The ‘Halal Mortgage’ is a significant step towards ensuring that Muslims in Canada can adhere to their religious beliefs while purchasing homes. It is designed to comply with Islamic law, which prohibits the payment or receipt of interest (riba). Instead, the mortgage operates on a ‘rent-to-own’ model, where the bank purchases the property and then sells it back to the...

The boss of the street food vendor who was racially harassed by former President Barack Obama’s National Security Chief Stuart Seldowitz says that he wants to “slap” the ex-government official with a lawsuit. “We want to sue him for harassment and hate speech. I consider this hate-speech, not freedom of speech,” Islam Moustafa, owner of the Q Halal Cart grill, told the New York Post this week. Earlier this week, Mohammed Hussein, 24, told DailyMail.com that he did nothing to provoke the abuse he suffered from Seldowitz and has now been left fearful to go to work. Hussein said on...

Democrat Sen.

According to the Wall Street Journal: The meeting, which hasn’t been previously reported, came months before the businessman, Wael Hana, secured...

Qatar has no diplomatic relations with Israel, but as a condition of its hosting the World Cup, FIFA mandated that Qatar not bar fans based on their nationality. With thousands of Israelis expected to travel to Doha for the games, Qatar agreed to permit Israel to...

In October, Indonesian diplomats and Muslim clerics stepped off a plane in China. While the diplomats were there to finalize deals to ensure millions of doses reached Indonesian citizens, the clerics had a much different concern: Whether the COVID-19 vaccine was permissible for use under Islamic law. As companies race to develop a COVID-19 vaccine and countries scramble to secure doses, questions about the use of pork products - banned by some religious groups - has raised concerns about the possibility of disrupted immunization campaigns. Pork-derived gelatin has been widely used as a stabilizer to ensure vaccines remain safe and...
