I suppose that qualifies as flattery-by-immitation.
“A sign saying it’s halal is not always enough,” said Imam Mohammad Elahi, a religious scholar who heads the Islamic House of Wisdom in Dearborn Heights. “There needs to be other evidence.”
A general rule is that if the preparer is Muslim and says the meat is halal, it’s OK, But if the preparer is non-Muslim, you have to dig further to back up the claims.
In some cases, halal slaughterhouses are now using recordings of a man saying an Islamic prayer that repeats itself each time an animal is killed so that it’s halal.
Chami, 23, wants to try KFC’s chicken, but is reluctant because she hasn’t seen how it’s prepared. One concern that she and Dabaja have is whether KFC uses separate fryers for its halal and non-halal meat, because using the same fryer contaminates the halal. When Chami eats tuna or vegetarian sandwiches at Subway restaurants, she always asks the sandwich preparer to don another set of plastic gloves because they might have the taint of non-halal meats on them.
Great, now American business encouraging these scumbags to continue to live here..I’m for Non Halal businesses. Here’s to ya KFC...I shall never darken your doors again...any business catering to a religion that killed 3,000 of our citizens doesn’t deserve my business.
There - fixed. It should have been more specific.
In Dearborn, two McDonald’s restaurants are the only ones selling halal Chicken McNuggets and sandwiches among about 13,700 McDonald’s in the country. Ram’s Horn, a local chain of diners, and Big Boy restaurants also serve halal meat in the city. And a manager at a Subway restaurant in Dearborn hopes it soon will become halal, but it is facing difficulties because of the chain’s insistence on using uniform meat suppliers.
Best deals are lamb, kid, thinly sliced beef (from whatever cuts are the least costly), chicken ~ they usually beat Safeway and Giant.
One guy from Afghanistan sells halal hotdogs (made by a halal butcher and meat packer in Baltimore ~ down the street from the biggest kielbasa maker on the East Coast ~ who also makes hotdogs for sale under private labels).
Halal meat has been on the menu around here for several decades. No big problem.
To compete in the local market Subway uses turkey based meat. I think there’s some corporate latitude on this, but I assure you Subway tastes the same all across the country.
These people are so precious and hifalutin ..and all for nothing because they worship a false prophet. They are wasting their time on a phony god. They might as well eat a Spam sandwich and worship a ham sandwich for all this nonsense will do for them
There's a demand independent of Moslems for non red-meat products.
Spam is excellent ~ so is ham. The more Moslems there are to eat up all the other stuff, the more pork there’ll be available for me.
“The easiest way to attract a Moslem customer base, halal or not, is to serve deli meats made out of turkey (halal or not), or chicken.”
Why in hell would I want to attract a moslem customer base?
What does that old dotard Allah know?
Why not! If I were a business owner, I would want to attract every possible customer. Having halal, kosher and vegan items on the menu means more business.
You are obviously not a capitalist.
Same would apply to a restaurant in an area thick with Seventh Day Adventists ~ he'd most certainly want to have a couple of bean dishes available at all times.
Doesn't mean you have to like these people, but their money is quite useful.
Islamic Halal is the same food prep rules as Jewish Kosher (very minor difference such as Kosher allows alcohol and Halal doesn’t, but otherwise the pretty much the same) ....
Big place. Attracts everyone.
They'll even accommodate requests for foods without wheat gluten.
