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

[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.

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.

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!

Would PETA approve?

[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.

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

"...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.
