Well, if he was, good old still semi-free market! I'm sure somebody will come in here and say people should be forced to buy from anybody that isn't a white male christian because they're devils.
I hear ya, I feel bad for those poor persecuted Christian Butchers:rolleyes:

Did you know that if you put rub on pork tips you get from a Kosher Butcher that it turns into pork sausage?

Halar meat is dryer since they bleed the animal out. I would not buy it.

A what ?
Blood get drain from blood vessels not from flesh.
Also I think you never have cooked the meat and you never cooked Hallal or regular meat.

Best bud is Muslim and I have cooked Halal meat. All the meat I have seen in Halal butcher shop look dryer. Unless they do something else to it. I know that blood is considered unclean so they really get rid of the stuff.

I buy my lamb/goat from this lebanese halal butcher. It's almost a 40 minute drive but the quality of his meat is amazing.

You will find Muslims shopping often in the Kosher butcher shops. Also, remember that Kosher does not mean cleaner or better meats. Quite often Kosher chickens have more feathers and are dirtier than a non-kosher Tyson chicken. Kosher basically means conforming to the dietary laws.

every slaughter house drains the blood. the red stuff at the bottom of the tray your meat came on is not blood.




iirc, halal meat is supposed to be hormone and antibiotic free. so it does have that going for it.

I was not talking about the stuff at the bottom of the tray obviously. I am just saying the meat looks dryer. They do bleed the animal out more than non halal butchers, or so my friend tells me. I am not sure there is anything against using hormones and antibiotics when it comes to the actual animal. Only thing is the blood is unclean and has to go.

I hope you're not serious, because yours is an ignorant statement if seriously meant.

I'm dead serious.

And try to calm down a bit, I'm suggesting that readers exercise consumer choice, not bomb his shop. I'm not muslim, after all :D

Halal and kosher meats are both fine.

I love me some NYC street vendor food. Mmm, now I want some hot dogs, kebab, falafel, gyros, or some lamb/chicken and rice, lol.

but buying kosher chicken saves you the step of having to brine it at home.

Ignorant fool

What part of that makes him an ignorant fool?

IMO, bombing the shop might be taking it a bit far...but there's nothing wrong with refusing to shop in such a place. Hell, not only would I not shop there, I'd also not shop in a Jewish butcher shop either.

As Americans, we have the right to discriminate when/where we spend our money.

It's never been claimed that Americans don't have the right to discriminate.

And this statement:
Don't fund them. I'm sure there are plenty of nonmuslim butcher shops around.

is the ignorant foolish statement :) I guess I quoted the wrong post.

It's pretty much the same statement paraphrased. I don't see how one is ignorant and the other not.

Perhaps it would help if you understood my thoughts on diffusion of responsibility. We are all responsible, if only a miniscule way, for the actions taken by groups we are willfully part of. Thus all muslims are, in a very small way, responsible for the atrocities committed by islam.

Well you said don't fund them. Who exactly is them? And what exactly are we supposedly funding? Don't act stupid, you know what you said and so does everyone else.

Ahh crap, I just realized I'm feeding the troll, ignore everything I said :D

"Them" refers to muslims, obviously.

By funding them you are contributing (in a very small and indirect way) to the success of a murderous, barbaric, misogynistic belief system responsible for great evil in the world.

For what it's worth, I feel the same way about christianity. Every dollar not put in their collection baskets is one less dollar they have to move around paedophile priests instead of turning them into the police, and one less dollar they have to buy peoples' silence or pay off victims out of court.

While muslim money isn't funneled to a centralized ruling body the way catholic money is, any aid to a religion's followers still does indirectly, and in a very minor way, aid the religion itself.

If the tiny amount that it factors in is what you have trouble seeing as important, than don't vote in any election in the future. It's the same principle.
