The hillbilly turkeys here are all smarter than the hunters so we just go shopping....;D

As Jesus said, it’s not what goes into a man’s mouth that defiles him, but what comes out of it. Meaning vile speech, rudeness, blasphemy, etc.

Exactly. I had the same reaction when I heard this before.

I think this was reported by WND before actually. It's good to be aware of the attempts at Islamication of America, but there's a difference between being aware and getting hyperventilated over every little thing. WND is getting to be like that crazy uncle everyone has but pays little attention.

To me this is like how many businesses are advertising in Spanish. It's an annoying indication of how so many refuse to assimilate, but it's not the business' fault for trying to please as many customers as possible. And this isn't even an indication of a lack of assimilation; it's just an indication Muslims follow dietary laws, something hardly threatening really. (until and unless they start trying to force them on everyone)

Some Mennonites down the road from me used to have a *huge* pasture full of white turkeys.

Far as the eye could see, nothing but stupid turkeys staring at the sun.

The birds tasted great but then they stopped raising them several years ago.

Dunno why.

They just don’t make Mennonites like they used to.

so a turkey is going to have one station be the jihad stop and the other station be the kosher stop?

should not the labeling be prominent for both?

[terycarl]

It's like eating a sacrifice to Satan. I'm not eating one. The darn things have been cursed

nope...Satan exists....you cannot place a curse on something by dedicating it to something that doesn't exist...eat up and enjoy, your God will take care of it all (except for cooking it)

I just called the customer service line, 1-800-288-8372. In response to “Are you saying an Islamic prayer while killing your turkeys” I was told that Butterball processes their turkeys to USDA Halal standards. She would only answer the question with the scripted answer; I told her it was creepy and hung up.

[longtermmemmory]

I say label it clearly and let the free market decide.

If the free market does not want it so be it.

Jihad per TV ‘realism series’- ‘All American Muslims’
TLC Sunday, 9 PM CST

‘It is an attempt to manipulate Americans into ignoring the threat of jihad and to bully them into thinking that being concerned about the jihad threat would somehow victimize these nice people in this show.

The problem people have with Islam is its teachings of violence against and the subjugation of unbelievers. It is with the supremacist ideology and the fervent believers in those noxious doctrines of warfare and subjugation. Yhe ultimate danger posed by a program presenting the “normal” side of life for American Muslims is that it isn’t accurate.

The danger is in the deception and obfuscation of the truth which results in the intellectual disarming of the American people.’

THey have confirmed it on their FaceBook page.

It just makes the turkeys sound "dirty" or something. It's creepy. I'd have a hard time putting it in my mouth.

[Jed Eckert]

Thanks for the link, very informative.

WDN FaceBook page or Butterballs?

This is like the "meat sacrificed to idols" controversy in the 1st century. Who cares what is said when the turkey is killed? It's still a turkey. When the butcher mumbles a few meaningless words about "allah," it does not alter the composition of the meat.

Two words: non issue.

[DManA]

It is no secret. I called the Butterball Hotline and they told me that yes their turkeys are compliant with halal specifications, with all that means.

"If you are so weak in your faith that eating a Butterball Turkey will cause you distress, then do not do so. But I will pray that you will move beyond this weakness."

1 Corinthians 8:12 - "When you sin against them in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ."

[DManA]

It’s good to have the information so a consumer can make an informed choice. While I don’t think I’m going to hell if I eat a turkey dedicated to Satan, I would prefer one that wasn’t.

I picked up a trailer load of Turkeys from a slaughterhouse in Waverly Texas back in the 70s. The turkeys where hung by their their feet on an overhead conveyor belt and went into a room where a guy cut their throats. They flapped around a bunch throwing blood all over. I don't remember what the guy covered in blood said but I expect it was more My job sucks then a prayer of any kind.

[SENTINEL]

We are commanded in the new testament, at least four separate times to not eat meat that has been sacrificed to idols. This commandment is often in a sentence with other serious sins not to commit, like adultery.

You don't mind, fine, but this a serious, filthy stunt by Butterball...Especially when it's kept secret.

[null and void]

I don’t care if they offered it up to Satan

Seriously?
