Like yesterday’s celebration, for example. Rightwing media told a ridiculous tale of Muslim terrorists attempting to denigrate the country, and by imposing their own terrorist-like religion upon the holiday.
It started with an opinion piece written by Pamela Geller on Monday’s “American Thinker” site.
Citing a “citizen activist” as her source, Geller claimed the Butterball company, a chief provider of the turkey traditional enjoyed for Thanksgiving meals, had produced its birds to be sold in the U.S. in a halal format. (And in case you don’t know, “halal” is a dietary guideline practiced by Muslims.)
Already known to be an anti-Muslim zealot, Geller declared this to be a secretive “scandal” pulled by Butterball.
“Non-Muslims in America and Europe don’t deserve to have halal turkey forced upon them in this way, without their knowledge or consent,” Geller wrote.
Even worse, she implied that Butterball was attempting to sneakily convert its American consumers to the Islamic faith. “Infidel Americans are unwittingly going to be serving halal turkeys to their families this Thursday. … Halal turkey…is just the opposite of what Thanksgiving represents,” Geller claimed, calling for a boycott of Butterball products.
She even created a “Boycott Butterball Turkey” page on facebook. And the story got taken from there all over the rightwing side of the worldwide web.
Islamophobic sites such as Jihad Watch (“You’re eating halal”), Bare Naked Islam (“WARNING!”), and Now the End Begins (“Butterball Turkeys Support Islamic Terrorism”) promoted the rumor. From there it went to conservamedia The Blaze (“Islamic Butterball?”). Two other “Boycott Butterball” pages made it to facebook, as well (1 and 2).
And on Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, it wound up on Bryan Fischer’s radio show on the American Family Network.

Enquiring minds must know, do the turkeys have to be circumsized first before killing and gutting to meet religious food preperations? You wouldn't want any infadel turkeys slipping past with their gibblets intact now would you. I demand they appoint a turkey pecker poker to check each one for proper peckers before having it's other head chopped off. Also, who's the dude that butters their balls as they go down the (dis)assembly line? Surely that is the reason they call them butterballs. Excuse me while I go out to catch a turkey at the great annual WKRP turkey drop.

It seems that there is no christian way of preparing food and deeming it safe. Secretly we have been becoming Jews for years as many food products are Kosher. Halal is the Islamic form of Kosher. It is food that is slaughtered correctly and is not a forbidden food under Sharia or Islamic Law, same as Kosher is for Talmudic or Jewish Law.
Haters are haters and they will never change. They are nothing more than racists, intolerant of anyone form any group other than their own. These people will always spread lies and hate, and never ever use facts in anything they say.
