Butterball turkeys are Halal.

How interesting. After nearly a century of being labeled surrender monkeys, the French of all nations, are the only ones standing up to the biggest threat of the new millinuim. I see them in a much different light....

Then I will stick with the Honey Baked Ham!!

I’m all for banning the burqa, but I’m afraid this is going to snowball into discrimination against any religion soon enough.

Viva la France!!!!!

No, "Far-right" candidate Marine Le Pen is standing up to them. The French Establishment doesn't care.

Le Pen is pro-market, anti-immigration, anti-welfare-state. Naturally, the Left despises her and smears her at any opportunity.

Marine Le Pen is also pro-Israel, which really drives the French Establishment crazy.

[Flintlock]

Good for them French.

(Slowly slowy, catchee monkey...........)

You sure she is pro-free market. I remember her father was the typical European statist in his economic views. As I remember he was quite Anti-American too.

[Reily]

Well her father certainly wasn’t!

Post 9/11 you would have to be delusional to think that food marked ‘halal’ hadn’t been tampered with...repeatedly.

[PapaBear3625]

My adult daughter does not share all my political views either. Your point?

My two points are:

1) that SHE runs the National Front party now, not her father, and

2) that if France continues with its Islamization, that it will be increasingly anti-Israel and anti-Jewish.

Marine le Pen is the ONLY French politician whose policies are long-term pro-Israel.

[PapaBear3625]

Marine Le Pen is pro-life and anti-euthanasia. As for her other positions, she seems a bit populist, but is likely to be as conservative (as we in the US understand the term) as any french politician we are likely to see. Check her wiki page for more.

I’m glad to see that renowned French priggishness finally being put to good use :-)

[Reily]

well then ...good!

[Mike Darancette]

I cannot understand why anyone would be against halal or Kosher foods.

Viva la France!!!!!

Vive la Porc!!!

As you describe the killing process, it’s indisputable that it is not as humane as stunning the animal before all that takes place.
