COSTCO selling HALAL meat, beware, you might be eating meat offered to ALLAH!

htSeveral, starting with a formal letter from COSTCO ^ | April 23, 2011 | RaceBannon

[RaceBannon]

COSTCO has admitted to several Islamic groups that their lamb is sacrificed according to Islamic Standards and is fully certified as HALAL meat, something that Christians in the world and Jews in the world need to be aware of.

Below are snoips of the original articles where this information came from

[CodeToad]

So? Allah is just a moon rock they put into a rather odd sexual looking device and they pray to it. Mad Mo knew the masses were stupid and capable of being brainwashed.

Hello,
Thank you for your inquiry.

I can confirm that all of the lamb supplied to Costco Wholesale by the
Australian Lamb Company, Inc is sourced from halal slaughtered animals. The
lambs are handled in a humane manner, are presents towards Mecca as a prayer
is recited by a Muslim slaughter man who ensures only a single cut with a
very sharp knife is needed. Subsequently, the product is certified halal.
The master cartons that Costco receives do have a Muslim Kill legend on
them. The individual packages do not carry the mark yet, but they will in
the future.

You can consume these products with confidence. Please let your friends and
family know that our lamb products meet the needs of the Muslim community.

Thank you very much for your patronage!

Image of the Halal Stamp on Costco lamb.
"Halal brand appears on retail meat packs and point of sale and guarantees that the meat has come from an animal that has been slaughtered according to the strict Islamic Shariah. Before slaughter the lamb's head is pointed toward Mecca, the butcher says a muslim prayer and "pronounces the name of Allah."

Hi Everyone,

I just received this info from a fellow Tea Party Patriot.  This is the absolute truth ... and what a cruel joke on Orthodox Christians ...

We just got our leg of lamb for Easter, and my husband noticed a funny stamp on it with arabic type writing.  We investigated and find out that it is the Halal Stamp.  Before slaughter the lamb's head is pointed toward Mecca, the butcher says a muslim prayer and "pronounces the name of Allah."

We are returning our lamb to Costco and trying to find one that is NOT HALAL.  The butcher at our local Meijer lamb verified its lamb is also has Halal. Jewel and Whole Foods is OK, so we've been told by the butchers.

you might be eating meat offered to ALLAH!

It's not so bad if you look at it right.

If I eat some halal meat, I will indeed appropriately offer it to Allah the next morning.

I make an offering to him every morning! Plus a scoop of Rid-Ex every month.

Well, the Rid-Ex is more for the septic system actually...

[RaceBannon]

 Arab News Article:   http://archive.arabnews.com/?page=1&section=0&article=117793&d=3&m=1&y=2009  

 

“To speed up production time, some halal slaughterhouses have begun using an integrated approach to traditional, Islamically-recognized handslaughtering,” the authors of the book said.

One method mentioned is the mechanical or machine slaughtering approach, which was first initiated by slaughterhouses in Western countries and which has gained momentum as being acceptable in other Muslim countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore.

The method consists of a Muslim pronouncing the name of Allah as he switches on a machine that inserts a cut into an animal’s neck. The problem, however, according to the authors, is that up to 30 percent of the initial incisions made to the animal by the machine does not accurately go all the way through in killing the animal the first time. There is, therefore, a second Muslim butcher standing by to re-cut the neck to conclude the procedure, causing undo suffering to the animal. The book also stated that some non-Muslim companies who are diversifying their product lines to include halal products have got round certain Islamic procedures to gain certification. “Some companies have been found to use a recording of a Muslim pronouncing the name of Allah before the butcher proceeds with slaughter,” it said.

Thank you for the post....I do not eat lamb but this is good info to know and share....

I am a beef kinda gal !!!!

[RaceBannon]

They point the head of he animal to Mecca and repeat the name of Allah as they kill it, this information is in the links provideded:

1Cor 8:1 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
1Cor 8:2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
1Cor 8:3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
1Cor 8:4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol [is] nothing in the world, and that [there is] none other God but one.
1Cor 8:5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
1Cor 8:6 But to us [there is but] one God, the Father, of whom [are] all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom [are] all things, and we by him.
1Cor 8:7 Howbeit [there is] not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat [it] as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
1Cor 8:8 But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
1Cor 8:9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
1Cor 8:10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
1Cor 8:11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
1Cor 8:12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
1Cor 8:13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.

[BigSkyVic]

I picked up a package of Colemans Organic chicken breast from Bozeman Costco and was surprised to see that they were also HalHal..

[red-dawg]

I would make sure every time I visit Costco to place a pack of bacon or two among the packages of this stuff.

[MadelineZapeezda]

This is disgusting....we purchase a whole lamb from our local farmer....which I’m sure he doesn’t point to mecca to slaughter

[magritte]

Recorded blessings at the slaughterhouse...priceless !! ...magritte

[UCFRoadWarrior]

Thanks for posting.

Like many, I really did not understand the whole meaning of Halal....and I am usually very aware of the various Muslim practices.

Your posting will be helpful to many. Much appreciated

[RayChuang88]

Hold it right there. Isn't halal-certified meat very similar to Kosher certification for meat, too?

[SumProVita]

Personally, since our prayers over any such meat will be to the Lamb of God, the Christ....only good will come of it.

;-)

[pnh102]

Allah is a false god to me. They could dedicate the meat for Earth day for all I care, as long as it meets health and safety rules I’ll eat it.

[dragonblustar]

Time to buy more pork......

[olezip]

COSTCO has admitted to several Islamic groups that their lamb is sacrificed according to Islamic Standards and is fully certified as HALAL meat, something that Christians in the world and Jews in the world need to be aware of.

This is not a big deal. Halal and "Kosher" methods of slaughter are essentially the same, a humane way to slaughter animals. Genuine Halal or Kosher stamps on meat simply mean that you are getting good meat, IMO. If you are not Muslim and are not Jewish, just ignore the religious part of the process because it is not relevant to your dinner.

[Invincibly Ignorant]

As long as its not ground camel it’ll be ok.

[RaceBannon]

[I still care]

As far as “meat sacrificed to idols” (which is how I consider muslim worship) that is already addressed in the New Testament scripture.

However, from what I understand, halal slaughtered meat tends to suffer more. If that is so, I am not all right with it.

[PieterCasparzen]

We need to outlaw hallalal meat and deport or concentration camp all muslims immediately.

They are enemies of the U.S. and we should declare war on them immediately.

[RaceBannon]

Now, more than ever, it is time to read the label, and MAKE PHONE CALLS to COSTCO and others!

Costco Corporate HQ’s is (425) 313-8100 if you want to ask them why they are discriminating against Christians, as the store in Naperville, Illinois is only serving Halal Lamb loins.

[ScottinVA]

I couldn’t care less, so long as they’re not adding anything to it. I don’t recognize their cult as truth anyway, so if the want to chant, yell “Allahu Mars Bar” or bark at the moon, it doesn’t mean anything to me.

Follow the money!!!!
Eating Halal meat is not the biggest insult. What pisses me off is that Muslim companies and employees are getting the butcher and meat distribution money and jobs. In this awful economy when you eat Halal meat this means some Christian meat workers lost their jobs to make way for this “wonderful” Halal meat

[RaceBannon]

OH No, in order to be HALAL, it IS sacrificed to the false god, Allah, it LITERALLY IS meat sacrificed to idols!

1Corinthians 10:28

[ilovesarah2012]

I’m already boycotting Campbell’s for this. I don’t shop at COSTCO anyway. I won’t support any company who supports muslims.

[muir_redwoods]

So, a spray bottle full of a 50/50 mixture of vodka and bacon fat might be a good thing to carry so as to “baptize” such products.

Think of it as a twofer

[DJ Frisat]

"...a single cut with a very sharp knife is needed."

Interesting. This is more humane than their treatment of beheading victims...

[Cicero]

I have no problem with the method of slaughter, which is very similar to kosher.

But I do have a problem with eating food that has been offered in sacrifice to Allah.

At the Council of Jerusalem, as described in the Book of Acts, it was agreed that gentiles need not be circumcized or follow most Jewish ritual customs. But there were some exceptions.

Here is the gist of it:

For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;

That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

—Acts 15:28-29

[llandres]

“There is, therefore, a second Muslim butcher standing by to re-cut the neck to conclude the procedure, causing undo suffering to the animal.”

Haven’t they had enough experience on human Infidels to get THIS right???

[Eva]

Ewww, I was planning to buy lamb at COSTCO today.

[Vaquero]

Mecca …..

[Paperdoll]

I’ve had to return steaks to two different stores $9.00 to $l2.00 recently because you can’t cut ‘em, you can’t chew ‘em! Even tenderloin has too much connective tissue! I just bought some from Costco, and they are delicious! When someone does something right, they should be rewarded.

[TheThirdRuffian]

“what makes it Halal?”

It is halal if the animal is sacrificed to the pagan idol of the black rock in Mecca.

This ritual is obviously meaningless, as allah is a nothing (or a demon) and the rock is a rock.

Nonetheless, as a Christian, I fall back on the teaching in Acts to avoid eating meat sacrificed to idols, to avoid giving credibility to the evil religion, so as not to lead weaker Christians astray.

[PapaBear3625]

Hold it right there. Isn't halal-certified meat very similar to Kosher certification for meat, too?

Important difference: for it to be halal, the animal was sacrificed to Allah, with butcher saying Islamic prayer. Meat from an animal explicitly sacrificed to other gods is forbidden to Jews.

[TheThirdRuffian]

“Hold it right there. Isn’t halal-certified meat very similar to Kosher certification for meat, too?”

Not even close.

[Atlas Sneezed]

This thread is an embarrassment. Kosher and Halal don’t offend me.

If they offend you, I have two words of advice:

“Bacon-Wrapped”

[Nickname]

This creeps me out. Glad we didn’t renew our membership when it expired. I consider the stamp to be a warning label.

[eureka!]

LOL. That’s an idea that should go viral.

[Sir Napsalot]

Still boycotting Costco due to Erik Scott.

[ApplegateRanch]

At least the pork isn’t halal!

[rickmichaels]

Genuine Halal or Kosher stamps on meat simply mean that you are getting good meat, IMO.

But to a Muslim, it's a waste of good meat because you (a member of Dar al-Harb, a dhimmi, an unclean infidel, a descendant of apes and pigs, an unbeliever unwilling to submit to the will of Allah, etc.) are buying it and eating it.

[CodeToad]

““Hold it right there. Isn’t halal-certified meat very similar to Kosher certification for meat, too?”

Not even close.”

Exactly. I appreciate Kosher foods. They are usually good eats of high quality. Halal is something totally different. Muslims are pigs and their standards are REAL low.

[RaceBannon]

READ THE LABEL, yours may be okay”!

[Paperdoll]

If you love your Easter dinner guests, go ahead and buy it at COSTCO. They do have great meat, so they are doing a good job in serving their customers. I don’t know what has gone wrong in the American cattle industry, but they are not putting out great meat anymore I’ve been able to find.
