No, not the country.

The bird.

That's right...those brave crusaders Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer of Stop the Islamization of America (considered an extremist hate group by none other than the Jewish Anti-Defamation League) have discovered that Butterball has apparently joined up with the dark forces of dhimmitude conspiring to impose shariah law on the US, and is insidiously attempting to foist secretly-halal Thanksgiving turkeys on the innocent Christians of America, thus forcing them to eat the same food Muslims eat!!

So be careful this holiday season, because that forkful of delicious turkey this year may be stuffed with more than just breadcrumbs and sage...it might also be stuffed with jihad!!

If you accidentally eat Halal food does it turn your urine blue in the swimming pool?

Was what I said not true? Is not Geller and Spencer's hateful band so distasteful that even a group whose founding and still main purpose is, in their own words, fighting "the defamation of the Jewish people" (ie, they're hardly a group of "Muslim apologists") thinks it's important to call them on their egregious Islamophobia? Or maybe you don't think the ADL is really Jewish, perhaps because they have the temerity to branch out to fighting all forms of defamation by speaking out against the anti-Muslim bigotry of Geller and Spencer's SIOA, rather than just sticking to anti-Semitism? Would you have preferred I use a different descriptor instead?

Please, I'm curious as to what you meant by your cryptic emoticon in response to my OP about the idiotic and paranoid extremes that the most vocal Islamophobes in America are going to during this fine Thanksgiving week.

The boldened part (or word).

And what about it? What, specifically, did you find so eyeroll-worthy about my description of the ADL as a Jewish organization as opposed to a Muslim one (dedicated as they are, as their own mission statement says, to fighting the defamation of the Jewish people), and yet despite their stated focus also being an organization that nevertheless felt it was important to speak out against the anti-Muslim defamation, bigotry and extremism of Geller and Spencer's organization?

Again, do you think they're not really Jewish? Because that would be rather bizarre.

Or, perhaps (even more bizarrely), do you think I'm using the adjective "Jewish" as some sort of perjorative insult, rather than a plain descriptor of something that makes their anti-SIOA statement noteworthy (whereas the same comments made by, say, the Muslim group CAIR would not be)?

Why would any food industry not want to spend the minimal effort to ensure their product is acceptable to all potential customers? :confused:

You'll have to figure out which way from that.

By the way, when I was a kid, the very non-halal dairy/lunch counter on the NE side of the main intersection had great Ice Cream.
 
Are there any legitimate animal welfare concerns about the way that turkeys are slaughtered to make them halal?

Also, what exactly is the process to make them halal? Are they just automatically halal by virtue of not being on a list of forbidden foods, or do they have to undergo some kind of special treatment?
 
I wish I could go old school, and get my turkey like I get my christmas tree.

Hunt'em, kill'em, toss'em on the roof and drive home.

If that's breaking sharia law, I'm guilty.

On second thought, let Butterball take the blame. I'd never kill an innocent bird.

The packer has to say magic words when killing them, which, I dunno, transubstantiates them into dynamite or something.

According to Wiki, it's the slaughtering technique which allows the food to be Halal - and yes, there are animal welfare concerns at least one Scandinavian country (IIRC Sweden) has banned it. It then needs to be kept Halal which means it isn't contaminated.

That having been said I don't believe that Stop the Islamization of America's motivation relates to animal welfare concerns.

Indeed. It might be a little more credible if the complaint were coming from PETA, but then I suppose they want us all to be vegans anyway.

Still, I'm not sure I like the idea that all turkeys are killed by halal methods. I'd like to have a choice. If Butterball sold halal ones and non-halal ones, I could choose. I'm not against others practicing their religion, I just don't want their religion being fed to me without my knowledge.
