Walmart "bows down to Sharia law" by allowing halal meat.

As America veers towards Islamic Sharia law in order to cater to the demanding minority of Muslims, citizens are seeing not only an attempt to include and appease Muslims, but an infringement upon the rights of the majority.

With such a vocal group as that of Islam in the U.S., major corporations are making a shift toward including the brutal slaughter that is halal, and the newest addition to the list of Muhammad-approved businesses is the largest superstore yet.

The Miami Student reports that Wal-Mart has taken the leap into dangerous waters, approving the provision of halal meats.

With a petition, Oxford assistant professor Tareq Hasan Khan and the Muslim Student Association (MSA) of Miami University has pressured Wal-Mart into providing meats that have been slaughtered in a manner acceptable by halal standards, as per the Quran.

(Let it be noted that the petition garnered only 50 signatures while passed around the internet.)

According to the Quranic definition, halal livestock should be slaughtered by slitting the throat of the beast, bleeding the animal out by the throat, all while invoking the name of Allah in prayer. It’s often argued that halal slaughter is the most humane form of butchery, claiming that the animal endures as little pain and suffering as possible, but the documented videos reveal the ugly truth.

So....apparently Wal-Mart is the Devil and bowing down to the evil eeeeeeevil sand Muslims for providing Halal meat.

And these are the same people that purchase mass-produced, processed chicken.

It's funny because they have this same image on another spot on their site.

But you never know who's really right. Everything is technically subjective anyway.

I lol'd.

And I suppose, it's just the typical reactionary tantrum over a business offering something for muslims. I still see mouthbreathers in bongistan moaning about the foreign foods isle because it has polish foods in it, whilst loading up their trolley with curry and pizza.

GG.

Halal meat is shit anyway, I had to make that shit in a meat factory when I was short on $... it's so fucking nasty.

I also thought they didn't care how live stock was slaughtered, as long as it's cost effective >.>

Fuck Wal-Mart.

Halal slaughter is disgusting, and should be abolished.

Isara · November 15, 2014, 06:46:31 AM

Which is an image with a grave logical fallacy.

Those guys are idiots, it's not like all of Wal-Mart's meats will be Halal meat. Did they forget about what happens in a meat factory?

Well, Halal meat is cheaper, right?

I don't see why this is provoking an outburst now, Tesco's been doing it for years and IIRC still are.

Halal slaughter is ridiculously inhumane, and should not be legal.

In Mongolian culture, it is traditional to say Om mani padme hum into the ear of the animal before slaughtering it as instantly as possible.

Sceptile, I actually had a halal burger when I was in California this year, and it didn't taste that bad. Better than a Carl's Jr. burger.

But yeah, Walmart isn't replacing all their meat with halal, it's just going to be a four foot section at least. And if you're so worried about halal animal slaughter, I want you to remember what happened to the animal you eat next time you have pork, chicken or steak.

Risay117 · November 15, 2014, 11:29:57 PM

Halal, Kosher both are good for us muslims.

Death · November 16, 2014, 03:10:22 AM

Walmart has always been shitty. They cut too many corners too.

Magos Domina · November 16, 2014, 12:45:52 PM

Halal is jut the same as Kosher, I don't see the Israel loving conservatives or certain islamophobic members here complain about that.

Just more bitching from the right wing as usual.

I don't see why the bitchers just don't label meat as halal and kosher anyway, I doubt any of the wankers would be able to taste the difference.

Which is the point I was making -_-, killing an animal in a ritualistic manner doesn't make it taste any better or worse, so why put the animal through it.
