Secret Selling of Halal Meat in the U.S.

The latest submission to Islam comes to us from the meat industry in both Europe and the United States. Recently I have been reporting on the little-noted but explosive new revelations that much of the meat in Europe is being processed as halal and sold without the halal label. This is not the exception, but the rule, and the people are being betrayed by their own elected officials. And it’s happening here, too.

Yes, folks, if you’re in Europe, and in many areas in America as well, the meat you are eating is probably halal, unless you’re keeping kosher. In a little-known strike against freedom, yet again, we are being forced into consuming meat slaughtered by means of a barbaric, torturous and inhuman method: Islamic slaughter.

Where are the PETA clowns and the ridiculous celebs who pose naked on giant billboards for PETA and “animal rights”? They would rather see people die of cancer or AIDS than see animals used in drug testing, but torturous and painful Islamic slaughter is OK.

Many people have written to me saying that they simply won’t eat halal meat, as they object to the methods used to slaughter the animal. And I agree. The Sharia term for halal slaughter is dhakat. Dhakat is to slaughter an animal by cutting the trachea, the esophagus, and the jugular vein, letting the blood drain out while saying “Bismillah allahu akbar”—in the name of Allah the greatest.

I think that if we unknowingly eat meat that has been offered to other gods, God will forgive us. Since now we are aware that this is done, we can always ask the butcher if he knows the history of the meat we're about to purchase.

Blessing our meals and prayer before eating is important now. It would break any curse placed upon our foods. God will take care of the rest. He's cool that way. He gives us many ways to protect ourselves just as long as we look up to Him.

Well, if this is true (any of it), just another reason I’m glad I’m a vegetarian...

[1_Rain_Drop]

That’s fine if you’re a vegetarian, but, do you have any pets? do they eat meat? I wouldn’t want to feed my pets halal stuff.

[little jeremiah]

I make their food.

In fact, I have to go look for one of them right now.

Out side of the Mumbo Jumbo it is not too different from any slaughter house. The animal is killed by a knock to the head and immediately hung and bled by slitting it's throat. All animals are slaughtered in this manner. Did you really think the animals were killed by lethal injection. If this method offends you, become a Vegetarian, as animals have always been slaughtered in this manner as it is the best and safest way. Just be glad you weren't born a Pig

Allah is God? You do not know the history of Allah. Allah is a demiurge from an animist mideastern sect. Not the God of the Jews at all. By tracing the origins of allah it is demonstrably obvious that this so called god is a demonic spirit. Do your homework before making false claims.

[CynicalBear]

My goodness. I evidently touched a sore spot.

[1_Rain_Drop]

If you make their food, are they also vegetarians?

I cook for my pets also, so I'm curious how you deal with this.

The Aramaic for 'God' is 'Allah.' Since Jesus spoke Aramaic the word he would have used for 'God' is 'Allah.'

Peshitta.org Click 'tools' then 'lexicon' and enter 'God' in the search field.

[Gene Eric]

>> if the animal is killed with a spike to the brain or a knife to the throat, I don’t see why anyone should care.

Then you are blind.

Allah translate to God in arabic - I don’t know.
But Allah as “revealed” to that narcistic, arrogant, pedophile Mohammad (may camels poo up his nostrils) IS NOT the God that Christians worship. The Quran clearly defines an aloof, vengeful, arbitrary overlord. There ain’t no love in their god - not a bit.

[The Theophilus]

jehova, dios, god, allah...all the same person, all the god of abraham isaac and joseph.

Really? Allah has a son name Jesus Christ? Who knew?

I think it is funny that you mention "the god of abraham, isaac and joseph jacob". Even you acknowledge that it isn't the "god of abraham and ishamel" or "god of abraham, isaac and esau". I wonder why it was phrased that way in the OT?

[Drew68]

But non-Muslims in America and Europe don’t deserve to have halal meat forced upon them in this way, without their knowledge or consent.

Here in America we decided to replace all the unionized meat packers with Somali Muslims. We shouldn't be surprised that they're butchering animals in accordance with the religion they brought with them after America decided we needed cheap immigrant labor in our slaughterhouses.

Allah is a phase of the sun, translation “The Dawn”, interpretation: Morning Star or Rising Sun. Allah is the contracted form from Alilah and the transliteral is this: The/god/ascends. The reason for the confusion is because the word “Allah” is borrowed from the Chaldean language.

It is not a Aramaic word. More than two thousand years ago the Aramaic word for God was El, and “Elah”, which means “The God”, reading right to left. Another example is the Chaldean word for (sundown),”Me’al”, reading right to left, but also written here left to right for the english language. And as for the Arabs that did worship the God of Abraham, they called Him “Elohiym”, which means “God of the Living”.
The New testament scripture of Matthew 22:37 repeats Deu. 6:5. If this verse were represented in Hebrew, it would, show YHWH, not Allah as the one you should love as the God of you. The translations clearly show that LORD is a substitute for the word YHWH and not a replacement. The problem is the fact that “ALLAH” isn’t used as a replacement for YHWH in the Arabic bible.
Jesus is reported to have cried out in Aramaic: ELOI, ELOI,LAMA SABACHTHANI? If Allah was valid, how come Jesus called out in Aramaic “Eloi”. Although those who have translated the Bible into Arabic used allah as a term for God.

I use the vegecat supplement this place sells:

http://www.vegepet.com/

A person - actually mother and daughter - who have been very active in animal rescue, recommended this to me. I’ve been making my cats’ food for several years and the vet I’ve taken them to says they are well nourished and healthy (except for a genetic thing, they are the offspring of feral cats).

I don’t use exact recipes per se, but have a basic standard one and then add the vegecat supplement, and give them bits of this and that, plus they catch lizards, mice, and assorted bugs.

[TigersEye]

It is not a Aramaic word.

Those Aramaic Christians disagree and they document it in their concordance very well.

[Louis Foxwell]

And Hebrew and all other Christian scholars disagree vehemently. Stand where you choose as will I.

[CynicalBear]

Look at the origin of Allah and it becomes clear that even Muhammad knew he was starting with the moon god.

It is clear that Allah was a part of the large pantheon of gods and the idea of making Allah a monotheistic god was apparently Muhammad’s decision. There is nothing to suggest that Allah had a relationship to Jehovah God of the Bible. In fact, Allah had previously been worshipped as having three daughters that were gods themselves known as “Allah’s Trinity.” Notice this description. “Where more complex settlement patterns had developed, however, widely shared deities had already emerged, such as the ‘trinity’ of Allah’s ‘daughters’ known as al-Lat, Manat, and al-Uzzah.” (Ibid., p. 105.)

I don’t care either. Except for pork, I only buy halal meat from local stores because it’s fresh, isn’t loaded with dye and is less expensive. Store owners are very friendly too.

[TigersEye]

No, they don’t disagree. That is simply false. I will stand by the truth.
