Did you know that the Butterball turkey you will be eating today on Thanksgiving is “halal-certified?” ALL Butterball turkeys are halal, despite the fact that due to massive public blowback online several years ago, they scrubbed the ‘halal-certified’ designation from their website’s home page. Make no mistake, Butterball is still selling you ‘halal’ turkeys, they just aren’t publicly promoting it anymore.
The irony in this is that most Muslims do not even celebrate Thanksgiving, having been warned by religious leaders that doing so, is ‘haram’ – against Islam.

I had a honeysuckle brand Turkey breast. I wonder if they have gone Halal? Between all the companies supporting the LGBT nonsense, and the Halal meats, it’s hard to find stuff to buy. I reside to let my money support Islam or that Woke nonsense.
xenonman says
Are they also designated as Kosher then?
BareNakedIslam says
It depends. Not everything certified Halal is Kosher at the same time. In other words, Muslims are allowed to eat Kosher food, but Jews aren’t automatically allowed to eat all things halal because of different slaughter regulations.
Ghulam says
The reason Butterball may be selling halal turkeys is because they don’t just sell turkeys on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
They sell turkeys throughout the year – and turkey is not just a permissible meat bird in Islam, it’s a huge draw among many Middle-Eastern Muslims.
BareNakedIslam says
Then they should be labeled as such (and no longer are), so non-Muslims know what they are buying.
Ghulam says
Ah…..just have some BACON wrapped all over it.
The way these halal products currently work, we have Mullahs who wouldn’t approve of Butterball. I’ll tell you why.
The Mullahs want us to eat turkeys and chicken we slaughter yourself. This is true when you’re living in the land of the Kufr.
It’s a factory run operation. Some Achmed from Iraq or Bangladesh did the final honors to the bird, correct. But these industrial plants also use a captive bolt to stun the animal to unconsciousness. It’s not true Halal like in Muslim countries.
The animal doesn’t feel any PAIN when it’s being bled to death. We don’t want that. We want it to feel the pain in the name of Allah t’aala.
Achmed’s job is to just make the small incision when the animal moves along the assembly line. He has no control after that step.
If it’s the US, someone named Miguel Jose from El Salvador or Ecuador will take over after Achmed’s role.

Halal meat is popular because it’s usually CHEAPER. That’s because both Achmed and Miguel Jose work for a quarter of the wages than an American butcher.
BareNakedIslam says
Not here. Halal meat is more expensive.

I really don’t get it, Muslims as you say do not celebrate “Thanksgiving Day”
I know for a fact you have to pay good money to get your “Halal Certificate”
All the very best to you all, have a wonderful ” Thanksgiving Day”.
Martelson says
And a Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. You may be clear – I looked for that ‘halal’ symbol when buying our turkey. 🙂
Dan says
Happy Thanksgiving to all our American cousins 😀🇺🇲🦃
I was going to try and pull off a Thanksgiving pun but I’ve been told to stop it, it’s hard to quit though, I’m going ‘cold turkey’.
BareNakedIslam says
Love good puns!
Az gal says
It’s forbidden in Islam to give thanks to God. However, if you want to beat your wife, or marry off your nine year old to an old man, no problem. Al humdullah wa barackato dingdongdillah
No Butterball here
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Is this the genius who coined the word “headbanger”? Oops, I must be a Zabibaphobe! 🇺🇸

GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON STARTED THANKSGIVING TO GIVE THANKS TO GOD AND TO BLESS THIS REPUBLIC. MUSLIMS CAN ROT IN HELL !
EVERYONE ELSE ENJOY YOU’RE THANKSGIVING AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS !
Dan says
I’ve been looking into Thanksgiving a little as apart from the feast of the pilgrims I wasn’t aware of much else.
I stumbled across George Washington’s Ancestral English family crest and it bears a striking resemblance to the star spangled banner. It’s even depicted in Durham cathedrals stained glass windows. I wonder if this was it’s inspiration?
