The Barbarism of Halal Slaughter

Halal meats are being sold more and more in America. Not until I did my research did I find what a barbaric act this is in islam and how sharia law requires it. By Arch Kennedy

I was having a conversation with one of my good friends from Turkey today. He has an educational Facebook group on islam where high information folks have dialogue on what I consider a false religion. The discussion of halal meat came up, and I learned a little more than I cared to. After watching several videos of the procedure of slaughter, I actually started to get sick to my stomach. My whole body felt weird. I had to actually lay down for a few minutes.

Halal in islam is referencing foods that are permissible to eat if you are muslim under sharia law.  You can find Quranic verses regarding halal foods including 2:173, 5:5, and 6:118–119, 121. The slaughter is often done at “festivals” where people watch sometimes happily as the animal lays dying in the street.

Just to warn you if you are faint of heart, you might want to stop reading now. So, the procedure requires the throat of the animal should be cut in a manner to ensure that the gullet, the wind pipe and the two external jugular/ arterial veins are severed. A lot of times the knife is dull so it takes a lot of sawing to make the cut and the animal is NOT STUNNED first. The blood of the animal must be drained down to a trickle. All of this done while saying a nice little prayer as the animal writhes in pain during a VERY slow process.

What I found very interesting is that some very mainstream American businesses are now supporting this kind of inhumane behavior. And make no mistake, this slow strangulation is by no means the same process as Kosher. You will find the process similar in that the animal’s throat is slit, but the Kosher means is quicker and in a calm and humane atmosphere.

So I did my research only to be shocked more that some well known American restaurants and supermarkets seem to have no problem with selling this kind of meat. Some of the ones I have found are:

  • Houlihan’s
  • KFC
  • Costco
  • Wal-Mart
  • Whole Foods Market

Now, my next thought was: Where is PETA on this? And low and behold, I only found one small blog on their site way back in 2009. Makes me wonder if they fear for their life to call islam out for this atrocity? I think we need to educate ourselves and ask: Why do American companies allow halal meats on their store shelves and are we going to continue to bow to sharia law as it slowly creeps into our country?

    Halal is barbaric, the poor animal suffers so much. Most supermarkets now sell halal, and don’t forget it isn’t just meat, chocolate and cereal such as Kellogg’s are halal. Many Christians do not know they are eating halal, as it is forbidden for them to eat, but the rights of the Christian and other religions is not taken into account, they don’t appear to have religious rights anymore. A tax is also taken on halal and this goes towards jihad and building mosques. So not only is it cruel, there are many other reasons to boycott halal. Amazing that the minority are over ruling the rights of the majority.

    And it is just not food that is Halal….cosmetics are becoming big business for some and other products are also being deemed Halal which, like Jacqui said, means more money collected to fund Jihad against all who don’t believe as they do.. The process of slaughter in their culture is just cruel, like everything else they do. If you have ever seen a beheading video then you know they “saw” heads off with not so sharp knives, it is the same with slaughter.

    I didn’t know about Houlihan’s. I have a blog to raise awareness only, we’re not boycotting. Please take a look at it and inform your social orbit. The Wiser Shopper

    In my research I have discovered that in the USA, Muslims are divided on halal slaughter.

    I tried to confront Costco asking why they are selling religious stuff (halal) without calling-out the way they do koisher with big red color labels and then returned so it’s a waste or they will trash it out.

    I think we should buy and return in massive so that they either stop or at least call for it.

Welcome

Arch Kennedy

It is a different day. Frustration is abound in politics. No one seems to compromise. Polarizing political figures give fodder for all of the media sources that now contain bias for one candidate or another. Journalism truly is dead.

So where do everyday Americans find truth in today’s world of social media and the internet where everyone has a voice and an opinion?

Well, we can change the forecast for our country (excuse the pun) by continuing to search for truth and have honest discussions even if they are uncomfortable.

Yes, I am a Christian, conservative, who happens to be gay, and I don’t need a person or media source telling me how to be any of the three. The days of identity politics are over and I am here to expose it.
