British Supermarkets Bow Down To Allah, Food Logo Now Includes Halal Meat
For meat to be considered Halal, the animal must be sacrificed in the name of Allah. Allah is a false god. False gods are idols. And Scripture has a few things to say about things sacrificed to idols …
Acts 15:29, “You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things.”
Revelation 2:19-20, “‘I know your deeds, and your love and faith and service and perseverance, and that your deeds of late are greater than at first. But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.”
By Glen Jenvey, Asian Tribune – “When walking into any British supermarket they all pride themselves on selling British products where possible , this can be seen in any meat section at Asda,Tesco and Waitrose to name a few.
But do we know what we are eating? To help us we see logo’s like Red Tractor which guarantees:
– High standards of food safety and hygiene
– High Standards of animal welfare
– High Standards of Environmental protection
You would think looking at the logo that meat sold with this assured food standard is 100% British, but on contacting all major supermarkets, I was shocked to learn that in fact the standard means nothing and we are in fact eating Halal meat blessed with Islamic prayers and the animal having its throat cut until the blood drains out. In some cases it takes as long as six minutes for the animal to die even when stunned.
This practice says Tescos quote: We sell Halal meat in our stores to meet customer demand and to demonstrate that everyone is welcome at Tesco.
But what Tescos are forgetting that British people do not want to eat this Islamically blessed meat as most of us are Christian and many of us see this form of slaughter wrong with great suffering for the animal.
Tescos claim that the animal is stunned to feel no pain! , but is still alive, watching while its throat is cut until it dies, sometimes six minutes. ‘This is cruel,’ animal rights charities claim and not a quick clean kill. But most British shoppers might wonder why meat is dry when cooked from supermarkets, it might be because that Islamic law requires all blood drained from the meat.
Tescos go on to say like all other major UK supermarkets. We source from suppliers who serve Muslim as well as non-Muslim customers. Some of these suppliers process all their meat to Halal standards. For example, all New Zealand lamb meet’s Halal standards.” Read more.
Flashback: Halal, The New Stealth Jihad – Are You Eating Food Sacrificed to Idols? – “When you bite into a delicious pizza, succulent sandwich or luscious lamb chops, are you possibly eating food that has been sacrificed to idols? An outspoken American pastor says yes, and he’s sounding the alarm for Christians to be aware of the Islamic influence he calls ‘backdoor Shariah’ now nibbling its way across the fruited plain. At issue, says Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries in Bonney Lake, Wash., is eating food that’s ‘halal,’ in other words ‘lawful’ or ‘permitted’ for the Muslim diet. Muslims join many Jews and some Christians in avoiding the consumption of certain animals such as pigs and birds of prey, but those of the Islamic faith also have their meat blessed in the name of their god, Allah. ’From the Christian standpoint, Allah would be an idol,’ …” Read more.
I was shocked to learn that KFC, Subway and some Mcdonalds restaurants here in the United States serve Halal Meats. The list is extensive, and in most cases the consumers are unaware. You can google Halal and see the various symbols they use. I try to ask but I wonder. Paul talks about this, eating foods sacrificed to Idol’s but I can’t remember where. Maybe ICA, willard or kurt could help here.

Even though meat sacrificed to a false god is in and of itself no different from any other meat, if we know that it is Halal we must not eat it. If we suspect that it could be, we should ask.
Halal McNuggets a Hit in Detroit – “In September 2000, a McDonald’s restaurant in Dearborn, Michigan began offering a halal version of its chicken nuggets, in response to requests from area customers. Over the following year, sales of the unique item were so good that they expanded the idea to a second Dearborn location.” Read more.
A Canadian line of Campbell’s soups has activists stewing over Islamic connection – “Campbell Soup Co., the Camden, N.J., food giant, has been fighting a grass-roots boycott of its products after its Canadian subsidiary rolled out a line of soups certified as halal, meaning they’re prepared according to Islamic dietary laws.” Read more.
Fast food chain KFC converts eight London restaurants to halal-only menu – “Fast food giant Kentucky Fried Chicken is to launch a halal-only menu in eight of its London stores in a move which could be extended to other areas of the UK. The menu, which will form part of a trial, will see the stores selling chicken products which have been fully approved by the Halal Food Authority for the first time.” Read more.
Some may say that God made all things clean, so we should be able to eat anything we like. However …
… if Jesus has a problem with his children eating food sacrificed to idols, then so should we. This is not an Old Testament ‘code and regulation’ restriction regarding unclean animals that was done away with. It is a New Testament exhortation for all believers.

Wow. I don’t kniw who u r and how u have the nerve to say Allah is a false God. He is not an idol. Islam is a very faithful religion who believe in a God. A GOD NOT AN IDOL! To some people that opening paragraph can be very rude, disrespectful and could be taken aa racism. U hav no right at all to say that.

Hi, NOYB, thank you for your comment. There is no God but Yahweh, and Yeshua is His Messiah.
Isaiah 43:10b, “Before Me [Yahweh] there was no God formed, nor shall there be after Me.”
Since Allah not Yahweh, Allah is therefore a false god. False gods, whether material or immaterial, are idols. Since Allah is a false god, Allah is therefore an idol, and idols are the domain of darkness, a symbol of wickedness.
Unfortunately, Islam believes in the wrong one.
Zechariah 5:3a, 8a, ”… This is the curse [אָלָה – “alah”] that goes out over the face of the whole earth … This is Wickedness …”
Words of Truth will often sound “rude” or “disrespectful” to those who believe in lies, but they are the truth nonetheless. If you come to know the Truth, however, you will see that they are not written to be rude or disrespectful, but to expose darkness.
Islam isn’t a race, but is itself xenophobic and full of racism, hate and misogyny. It is anti-Semitic, “Christophobic” and replete with “infidelophobic” tendencies all throughout the Qur’an and Hadiths.
As Christians, we can discern truth from lies. In light of the fact that Mohammed himself did not know for certain what would happen to him in the afterlife, why should we as Christians — who know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are guaranteed eternal life through faith in Yahweh and His Messiah — give up our Christian faith for the faith of “Allah” and his “messenger” which will guarantee us nothing?
