Your Butterball turkey is Halal certified - MUST READ!!!

[lightsoutcalls]

You are not going to believe this one...

From the Butterball website:

"With expertise in catering to the cultural and linguistic needs of countries all around the world, we are USDA Approved, Russian Approved, and Halal Certified."

What does Halal certified mean?

"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."

Yes, folks, your Butterball turkey was killed in the name of allah and according to approved muslim slaughter practices.

I can assure you there will be no butterball turkeys on my table.

No Butterballs for me.     Hey corporate America... thanks for caving into yet another Islamic special interest.

Sorry, I posted within 30 minutes of hearing about it myself.  It would have been less than that, but I wanted to check the websites myself before posting.

Wendell is right on this , how pathetic {looks to be true as posted on their very own site} is any company that cowtoes to pressure from special interest groups , especially one like this - this is BS

I did a quick google search and found out that this true rumor is in fact viral now and is spreading on every social site on the net including facebook -

I can tell you right now there will be a backlash and consumers will not want any part of their thanksgiving celebration tainted with the hint of some Muslim ceremony

Butterball will be tainted with reputation of the "muzlim turkey" and be typeset as a substandard in quality , consumers will actually look for other brands in preference over the name brand butterball

Nauseating. If s#^t keeps happening, the American way of life will not end with a bang, but with a wimper.

I just bought three butterball turkeys today. I don't care if it was killed in the name Jesus, Allah or Buddha they still taste great.

"Fees must be paid to one of the certifying organisations for this service. Islamic certifying organisations benefit financially from providing this service.

I dont care if it's the best tasting turkey in the world, this bothers me and should every American.
