‘Terror Chicken?’ U.S. Businesses Looking to Tap the Muslim Market

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) — In the ballroom of an upscale hotel a short train ride from New York, advertisers, food industry executives and market researchers mingled – the men in dark suits, the women in headscarves and Western dress. Chocolates made according to Islamic dietary laws were placed at each table.

The setting was the American Muslim Consumer Conference, which aimed to promote Muslims as a new market segment for U.S. companies. While corporations have long catered to Muslim communities in Europe, businesses have only tentatively started to follow suit in the U.S. – and they are doing so at a time of intensified anti-Muslim feeling that companies worry could hurt them, too. American Muslims seeking more acknowledgment in the marketplace argue that businesses have more to gain than lose by reaching out to the community.

“We are not saying, ‘Support us,’” said Faisal Masood, a graduate of the University of Illinois, Chicago, and management consultant. “But we want them to understand what our values are.”

There are signs the industry is stirring: Masood, a Wall Street executive who organized the gathering, had attracted only 200 or so attendees when he started the event last year. This year, he had to close registration at 400 to keep from going over capacity.

The worldwide market for Islamically permitted goods, called halal, has grown to more than half a billion dollars annually. Ritually slaughtered meat is a mainstay, but the halal industry is much broader, including foods and seasoning that omit alcohol, pork products and other forbidden ingredients, along with cosmetics, finance and clothing.

Corporations have been courting immigrant Muslim communities in Europe for several years. Nestle, for example, has about 20 factories in Europe with halal-certified production lines and advertises to Western Muslims through its marketing campaign called “Taste of Home.” Nestle plans to increase its ethnic and halal offerings in Europe in coming years.

In the United States, iconic American companies such as McDonald’s (which already has a popular halal menu overseas) and Wal-Mart have entered the halal arena. In August, the natural grocery giant Whole Foods began selling its first nationally distributed halal food product – frozen Indian entrees called Saffron Road.

Along with new customers, however, the companies draw critics and can become targets in the ideological battle over Islam and terrorism.

Abdalhamid Evans, project director with the World Halal Forum Europe, which works with the global halal industry, said a recent backlash has prompted some mainstream businesses in Europe to keep a lower profile about their halal products or scale back their offerings.

In the U.K., after Kentucky Fried Chicken rolled out halal menu options in several dozen stores, the restaurant chain pulled the items in a few locations in the face of protests. Critics dubbed the menu “terror chicken.”

Last September, the Daily Mail of London reported that many British supermarkets, fast-food chains, hospitals, schools, pubs and sporting arenas such as Wembley Stadium, were serving some halal meat and poultry without notifying the public. A large share of meat sold in Britain comes from New Zealand, where the slaughterhouses have expanded halal production as they try to boost their already robust exports to Islamic countries.

In the uproar that followed, Barnabas Aid, a group that fights Christian persecution worldwide, started a petition in Britain against what it called the “imposition” of halal. It “may be interpreted as an act of Islamic supremacy,” the group said.

U.S. companies have also faced some resistance, although on a smaller scale.

Last year, Best Buy Inc. was inundated with calls, e-mails and letters complaining that the company was anti-American after acknowledging a Muslim holiday – “Eid al-Adha,” or the Feast of the Sacrifice – for the first time in a national advertisement. That year, Eid al-Adha fell around Thanksgiving, so the ad, a small bubble at the bottom of the page, appeared in the company’s Thanksgiving flier. Critics seized on the timing in their complaints.

“They used very abusive language,” said Nausheena Hussain, a marketing manager for Best Buy in Minnesota. “It was pretty sad.”

Best Buy executives stood by their decision. The company saw the holiday greeting as part of a larger goal of reaching consumers from different cultures. Soon, Muslims started calling to thank Best Buy and set up a Facebook page honoring the company, which continues to acknowledge Muslim holidays.

“It’s a very viable customer segment,” said Zainab Ali, senior marketing manager with the money transfer company MoneyGram, which ran a special Ramadan promotion this year for Muslims in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere. “You just need to get over some of the fear and look at them as just another consumer.”

The potential for profit is drawing more companies to the idea.

This year, Ogilvy & Mather, the global advertising firm, started an international Islamic branding consultancy called Ogilvy Noor that includes an emphasis on U.S. Muslims. (“Noor” means “light” in Arabic.) Muslims came to the United States in large numbers for doctorates, engineering and medical degrees, after the federal government eased immigration quotas in the 1960s. Studies have found that a significant percentage of Muslims are better educated and wealthier than other Americans.

Joohi Tahir, vice president of marketing and sales for Crescent Foods, the halal chicken producers based in Chicago, said Wal-Mart executives approached Crescent Foods two years ago looking for a halal chicken supplier, then invited Crescent executives to Wal-Mart headquarters in Arkansas to advise them on reaching Muslim consumers.

That same year, Wal-Mart opened a supercenter in Dearborn, Mich., an area with one of the largest Muslim and Arab populations in the country. The store is geared for Mideast consumers, with a range of halal products, including specialty foods.

“Mainstream is coming to halal,” Tahir said.

Wal-Mart spokesman Bill Wertz said the merchandise in each store can vary according to the needs of the surrounding community, so it is difficult to know the exact number of U.S. stores that carry halal products. But several in Michigan and at least one store in Canada have advertised that they offer some halal items.

Manufacturers entering the field hope they can appeal to non-Muslims as well.

Jack Acree, executive vice president of American Halal Co., which produces the Saffron Road products, emphasizes that the entrees are not only halal, but also all-natural and humanely farmed, and free of antibiotics and hormones.

“Muslims are highly educated and live in metro areas, and they’re shopping with us already,” said Errol Schweizer, senior global grocery coordinator for Whole Foods. “If we have a customer base where there’s a big Muslim population, it makes sense for us to service that population.”

Schweizer would not answer directly when asked if anyone complained to the company over its Muslim outreach. He said only that halal foods will be judged like any other products – by whether the items sell.

For Muslims, the issue is not just a matter of convenience. Recognition by major companies is an important sign of acceptance as they struggle to establish themselves in the U.S. They are following in the footsteps of American Jews, who struggled for decades for mainstream acceptance of kosher food – and of Judaism.

Despite the sometimes unfriendly climate for Muslims, Evans, of the World Halal Forum, said it is inevitable that a large number of businesses will reach out Muslim consumers, given the wealth and size of the Muslim population – more than a billion people worldwide – and their presence in the West.

“It isn‘t a question of whether they’re going to do it,” Evans said. “It’s a question of where and when and how.”

    I think that this may be the wrong country to expand their Ideology just as their country would be the wrong country to spread Judaism. I see, at a more rapid rate, the children seeing the Muslims as someone they will be doing battle with in the streets like what is happening in the middle east. I also witness that the kids with science degrees (physics, engineering, math) see them as a threat that they will battle and the kids that have liberal arts degrees (English, communications, political science, law) embracing the diversity.

    The outcome seems to be already determined. Has anyone looked at what the science majors are now buying and training?

    I happen to love several cuisines that keep Halal. Has any of you ever tried Middle Eastern food? Pitas, tehine, and falafal? How about Indian/Pakistani/ or Afghani food? It’s delicious! Much of Africa has a huge Muslim population, are you going to boycott them, too? Muslims, of all nations and cultures, are only about 1% of the population in the United States. Eating their food, or seeing women in hijabs, will not hurt you, nor will it make you turn Muslim. There are Muslims around you, they are your neighbors and your customers, they are the people in the seats next to you on the bus, the subway, or the movies. Some of them serve in the U.S. military, some of them are wounded and died in that service. The United States is about religious freedom and accepting the differences of others to make a whole country. Tarring all Muslims with the terrorist label is a disgrace to the Constitution. (By the way, Thomas Jefferson’s Quran was used to swear in the first Muslim Congressman, Keith Ellison.)

      **The United States is about religious freedom and accepting the differences of others to make a whole country. **

      Well, the first clause of that sentence is correct. The second clause, not so much.

      You have no obligation whatsoever to accept anything about others, at all, and it has never been a condition of being an American to ‘accept’ anybody except whom you choose to accept. We can rail against, protest, debate and otherwise oppose, peacefully, any other group or person we wish to, as individuals. The only thing we can’t do is use the law to prosecute others for being different, which is not the same thing as “accepting” somebody’s culture that we may personally find offensive or silly. You accept their *right* to have their own views, but you certainly don’t have to sit down and be quiet and not say anything cross about other cultures or beliefs.

      I’ve heard the statement you made, before, from other leftists. It seems to be some kind of strange mantra that frankly makes absolutely no sense in the context of anything in this nation, from beginning to now.

      @Vangrungy, I don’t believe that all Muslims are terrorists any more than I believe that all Fundamentalist Protestants are members of the KKK, but almost all members of the KKK were Fundamentalist Protestants. What about all the killings they carried out against Black, Jews, Catholics, and the Chinese? What about all the abortion clinic violence carried about by these “Good Christians”? And even though it embarrasses me to say this, Tim McVeigh, the largest mass murdering terrorist on American soil before 9/11, McVeigh was a Catholic for much of his life.

      And perhaps Jefferson did get a copy of the Quran to better understand the Barbary pirates, or perhaps, being Jefferson, he just wanted to learn about a major religion. Jefferson was a constant scholar, after all.

      all those who wore sheets a long time ago lifted them to wear Democratic Party clothing. Yes, the Ku Klux Klan was established by the Democratic Party. Yes, the Ku Klux Klan murdered thousands of Republicans — African-American and white – in the years following the Civil War. Yes, the Republican Party and a Republican President, Ulysses Grant, destroyed the KKK with their Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871.

      How did the Ku Klux Klan re-emerge in the 20th century? For that, the Democratic Party is to blame.

      It was a racist Democrat President, Woodrow Wilson, who premiered Birth of a Nation in the White House. That racist movie was based on a racist book written by one of Wilson’s racist friends from college. In 1915, the movie spawned the modern-day Klan, with its burning crosses and white sheets.

      “Other religions kill, too.”

      The Muslim Game:

      Bringing other religions down to the level of Islam is one of the most popular strategies of Muslim apologists when confronted with the spectacle of Islamic violence. Remember Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber? Why pick on Islam if other religions have the same problems?

      The Truth:

      Because they don’t.

      Regardless of what his birth certificate may or may not have said, Timothy McVeigh was not a religious man (in fact, he stated explicitly that he was agnostic). At no time did he credit his deeds to religion, quote Bible verses, or claim that he killed for Jesus. His motives are very well documented through interviews and research. God is never mentioned.

      The so-called “members of other faiths” alluded to by Muslims are nearly always just nominal members who have no active involvement. They are neither inspired by, nor do they credit religion as Muslim terrorists do – and this is what makes it a very different matter.

      Islam is associated with Islamic terrorism because that is the association that the terrorists themselves choose to make.

      Muslims who compare crime committed by people who happen to be nominal members of other religions to religious terror committed explicitly in the name of Islam are comparing apples to oranges.

      Yes, some of the abortion clinic bombers were religious (as Muslims enjoy pointing out), but consider the scope of the problem. There have been six deadly attacks over a 36 year period in the U.S. Eight people died. This is an average of one death every 4.5 years.

      By contrast, Islamic terrorists staged nearly ten thousand deadly attacks in just the six years following September 11th, 2001. If one goes back to 1971, when Muslim armies in Bangladesh began the mass slaughter of Hindus, through the years of Jihad in the Sudan, Kashmir and Algeria, and the present-day Sunni-Shia violence in Iraq, the number of innocents killed in the name of Islam probably exceeds five million over this same period.

      In the last six years, there have been perhaps a dozen or so religiously-inspired killings by people of all other faiths combined. No other religion produces the killing sprees that Islam does nearly every day of the year. Neither do they have verses in their holy texts that arguably support it. Nor do they have large groups across the globe dedicated to the mass murder of people who worship a different god, as the broader community of believers struggles with ambivalence and tolerance for a radical clergy that supports the terror.

      Muslims may like to pretend that other religions are just as subject to “misinterpretation” as is their “perfect” one, but the reality speaks of something far worse.

      @Vangrungy, Yes, the Conservatives of the 1800s and the early 1900s were Democrats. That changed between the Roosevelts. The liberal TR was a Republican, but his nephew-in-law, FDR, was a Democrat. And when FDR came out as a Democrat, TR nearly disowned him. Lincoln was a liberal and a Republican. Radical Republicans forced Reconstruction on the South and caused generations of radical, extremist conservatives to join the Democrats. They started leaving in droves once Kennedy was elected. There are almost none of these Dixiecrats left, living or dead. It’s one reason the Republican party has become so radical, restrictive, and unrepently ugly in the last few years. But, then you’d know about the party re-alignment if you’d paid half a lick of attention in your Civics class. By the time I registered in 1978, the Democrats were the liberal party, and most of the Southern rednecks had quit it.

      As to your proof, well, Christopher Hitchens is respected by some. He is also an atheist, a journalist, a former Conservative. And while I have read his stuff over the years, I don‘t particularly care for what he rights and I don’t share his opinions nor am I likely to be convinced by anything he writes. Your other link is to some scurilous screed by some anonymous anti-Muslim hate group. Really, if you expect me to be persuaded by hate propaganda, well, you didn’t think it through very well. So, then who would be “the useless idiot”. All you’re spewing is hateful propaganda. Tell me, do you go to anti-Semitic sites, too? What do you think of “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion”? By the way, this is a huge thing in the world Muslim community, that and the blood libel. I don’t put any stock in those crazies either. The internet is a really big place, and there are all manner of Christian hate groups out there. Why don’t you go to the Southern Poverty Law Center and check out their lists. Just because you’ve poisoned your mind and ability to reason with all this anti-Muslim stuff, doesn‘t mean that you’ll convince me. Did it ever occur to you that Muslim nations, Iraq, Afghanistan and Paksistan have lost more people than Muslims have killed elsewhere in the same amount of time. Did it ever occur to you that these terrorist attacks are in direct retaliation for the Western invasion of their culture? And did it ever occur to you, that the fervid anti-Muslim garbage coming from “good Christians” isn’t any different that the crap coming from scum like Bin Laden? A Fundamentalist fanatic is the same whether he prays to Allah or God. The abortion clinic terrorists, Schroeder and Randolph and a number of others did what they did in the name of Christ. And McVeigh ended his life as an atheist, but as a teen, he had been a daily Mass attendee. And the act that prompted his terrorism was in defense of the Branch Davidians, a radical and weird offshout of the Seventh Day Adventists. By the way, the Mormons, the Seventh Day Adventists, and the Jehovah’s Witnesses all started in a small triangle in upstate New York and all take their roots in the Second Great Awakening. There were a whole bunch of heretics running around back then. They all loved their Bibles, too.

      @Fed Up, Speak for yourself when you go accusing me of being childlike and naive. I live in the big world. I’ve been watching the world since 1968. I lived 10 years in a foreign country in service of my own. I have no doubt that there were and are terrorists in this world. I was not scared on 9/11, grieved yes, by scared, no. I was surprised that we hadn’t been hit before. I remember discussing how we would strike back at the terrorists just a day or two later. (By the way, I was in Asia, on a military base under armed guards when I had this discussion, some 50+ Pakistani Muslims were deported for spying activitites, including some caught outside my base.

      What you’re both doing is dressing up your fears and prejudices into something less digusting and trying to pass them off. Sorry, not buying it. And Fed Up, I still think you’re seditious.

      True, WalMart didn’t drive manufacturing jobs overseas. They did, however, run small business out of town by underpricing and offering cheap (read: poorly made) products. They could do that because the majority of those under-priced, cheap product came from China. People flocked to WalMart to but said under-priced, cheap products thus driving up the demand. More products bought from China mean less products bought from the US. Less products bought mean less revenue, thus the possibility of shutting down. Therefore, more overseas jobs and less US jobs.
      The American people caused this.

      RANDY, YOU SIR ARE A PATRIOT !!!!!!!!!

      FACTS:
      Islam is a Political Format …the religon aspect is just one part of the whole & is not really valid , just a tool used for controlling the massis & a sublime feeding trough for seeking out the potential radicals to be used in the quest for power.
      Its Political stance(s) are 100% contrary to freedon , liberty & justice (and T-totally opposite The Constitution , Decliration of Independence & Bill of Rights!!)
      Islam has no , zip , zilch desire for tollerance or coexistance ,just supreame rule & power
      there is no such thing as peaceful islam …just because a few people you know or are public may not be radicalized does not mean they will not fall in line or look the other way when the radical rise up.
      The koran mandates conquest , murder , lyeing for position , the subjigation of women (WHERE ARE ALL THEM LOUDMOUTH WOMENS RIGHTS B****es????) , intollerance , hate , sub-human or arcaic in gennerally all aspects.
      *************************************************************************************
      OPINION;
      if , and I mean IF a individual person belives in peace then he/she outta seek out a peace orented belife system not The Religon of Hate.
      I belive let the rest of the world do with islam as they see fit ,BUT!!! in The United States it ought be outlawed , mosques closed & bulldozed and any and all opposed to such actions shipped over to any number of islamic ruled nations or shot on sight.
      I WILL NEVER SUBMIT TO ISLAM OR OFFER IT ANY RESPECT …the 1st SOB to get in my face and demand I do will feel hands around his throat ..DO NOT TELL ME WHAT TO BELIVE!

      I’ll buy “some”, but blanket “all” or “almost all” statements generally raise a flag with me, as a rule.

If the company belongs to a union or is affiliated with organizations, or donates to organizations like the ACLU, I simply do not do business with them. Would you keep giving lunch money to a crack head, when you know the money is not going towards lunch? Well, the federal government run by a bunch of progressives are nothing more than a bunch of crack heads, and I will do my best not to support their habit!

    This is alarmingly disturbing. It’s the way that they secure jobs for “Muslims only” and a way to get their Supremacist’s “special treatment.“ This makes me sick to my stomach because in England they are making everyone in the schools eat ”halal” meat and they are not labelling it when it’s placed on the stores shelves. You must watch this video about halal meat:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMdgIk0UKG8&feature=player_embedded#!

    Also please watch this video because this is now stepping up their stealth Sharia and Jihad in America and it‘s now starting to get frightening when you see what they’ve done in the UK and Europe.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEXWjlgJ83E

    Soon they’ll be wanting their Sharia Courts and securing their ability to really shut us up. Now they’re demanding their “political correctness” but the Sharia Courts will be enforcing it. They’re already taking people to court in Europe for even criticizing “Sharia” in private gatherings. Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff held a private gathering and some woman came to it and secretly taped her speech and then took it to the police and the media. The next thing she knew she was being hauled into Court on a charge of “insulting” Islam. Here’s the video:

I don’t want to keep Kosher myself, but it is very, very important to several of my friends and relatives. I know one woman, born in New York, who served as an artillery officer in the U.S. Army, and married a Rabbi, and said this to me, in all seriousness “I‘d die if I couldn’t keep Kosher.” What would you say to her? That if you keep Kosher, you can’t be an American?

No. It’s not a big deal, as long as it is a private enterprise type of thing. Given as I’m certain that Halal items will be labeled as such, if you don’t like the idea of Halal or Islam, then you have a clear sign right on the products that allow you to choose not to buy it.

      You seem intelligent, so bear with me for just a moment as I dive into the realm of “what if”. You say this is a non-event, but if you know just a sampling of Muslim culture you would be keenly aware that it seeks to permeate and dominate any other culture it comes in contact with. So, you could conceivably have a Muslim student whose parents demand that he be served this type of product in the school lunchroom with federal taxpaying dollars going to subsidize this demand. Hypothetically, though very real, as another poster has alluded too before you, the school could rationalize that it is okay to serve this ‘ritualized’ food to other students due to the fact that the company selling this product only sells to the consumer in mass. Look at Europe, where they seek to take over a country in any way possible even to the point of setting up Sharia law in a country Great Britain! Now, work with me for a moment; is this even remotely possible?

      What you’re speaking of is rules and regulations being changed to accommodate a given religious group. I would obviously object to that since it clearly violates equal treatment under the law, which is supposed to be a cornerstone of this nation.

      This article is about private companies taking their own initiatives to address a very minute segment of the overall American population. I cannot in good conscious fault a business for looking to expand its customer base. That‘s what they’re supposed to do. If adding “Happy Hachahalllal-al-hach-ahach-hach-el-hach” to an advertisement brings the business in a couple of more customers, then that’s just the way it works and I have nothing to object to.

How long before burger franchises stop putting bacon on their burgers or serving ham or sausage on their breakfast meals?
      I am not promoting pork products although I do think that they are delicious. What bothers me is that I can foresee the day when none us can order pork products because of the minority Muslim population in our country.

      This is an event of some significance. It’s showing that more and more companies (yes, private but still important) are pandering to Muslims. Each day, it seems, something comes to light about what some organization/business what-have-you is doing to please Muslims. Yes, some of these also do so for Jews. Honestly though, outside of Hanukkah, and very occasionally Passover, how often to you see it? Hanukkah isn’t even a religious holiday. You don’t see major restaurants considering altering their menus to offer Kosher foods. Or vegan. I know, not a religion. But like Muslims, if they had their way everybody would be vegan.
      Do you see Best Buy or WalMart mentioning Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur? What about Kwanzaa? Or for that matter, the Epiphany of the Lord, or Good Friday?
      Having a small section of Kosher food (usually in the International section) is not the same as revamping part of your menu to please part of the population.
      Islam is not like Judaism or Christianity. It is not a peaceful religion. The Islam holy book does not allow for anything other than Islam. The Bible says go and spread the Word. It does not say, like the Koran, to kill those who don’t accept it.
      Giving more and more allowances to Muslims is leading the US down a very slippery slope.

This is the exact pattern western Europe followed. first we can’t offend muslims by drawing mohammad……they sent a teacher in Spain up on charges for saying ham in front of the 1 muslim child in the class, they are not a religion and the only thing moderate about muslims is how they wish to impose sharia on us. Islam means to submit, any acquiescence of this culture moving over here and not assimilating ( we have madrassa’s or religious schools funded by the saudi government here already) is going to cause serious existential threats to our way of life. why do we tolerate the most intolerant group of people on the planet.

      “American muslims, are less than 1% of the population. This is not a profitable move unless you are expecting a sudden and rapid increase in that population.”

      American Jews make up an equally small percentage of the population, but you can still find plenty of kosher food items, like Hebrew National hot dogs.

      Which, by the way, are delicious.

      –

      OH YEAH??!!!

      Hebrew Nationals are made by a JEWISH-owned company formed expressly for the purpose for producing Kosher foods!

      All the moozlefux do is whinge and whine, then threaten and sue, to get companies TO BEND TO THEIR WILL, thus inconveniencing and changing the habits of the rest of US.

      BIG DIFFERENCE.

      But then you leftists KNOW there is a difference and you admire and love the way the moozlefux are able to subvert this society into submission even better than you MarXXXists can!

      Another fine example of Obama’s policy of Muslum Outreach; he is seeking to destroy the country on many fronts, and the creeping excesses of Sharia law will soon be clamping down upon us – look for him or the Progressives to use a ‘Muslum threat’ v Americans or an American threat v Muslums to be another clamp down excuse.

      He and the Progressives are using the PC garbage to play both sides off against one another to win and consolidate absolute power.

Walmart has raised the standard of living for many lower income families. Walmart is one of the biggest corporate charity givers in the world, if not the biggest.

      From article: “Corporations have been courting immigrant Muslim communities in Europe for several years” .

      Enhanced accommodation of Muslims is working real good for them, isn’t it?

      The problem is that it will start with private accommodations, but unlike Jews with Kosher, the Muslims will rise up to demand equal treatment and that Halal be mandated everywhere.

      How this is handled now by private corporations will affect my purchase decisions.

      Eid al-Adha was celebrated Nov 10-12. The Islamic holiday features the sacrifice of animals, which I was delighted to report to the fine folks at PETA. I also asked PETA why they weren’t holding any protests outside of mosques in the US. This is their response, which I felt was something of a cop out:

      Dear Dr. ______________,

      Thank you for contacting PETA about the animal sacrifices made during the annual Islamic festival Eid al-Adha.

      PETA opposes animal sacrifice and works to educate people about the cruel and unnecessary nature of such practices. We are also working to end the live export of sheep from Australia to the Middle East and North Africa for sacrifice (http://www.PETA.org/issues/animals-used-for-clothing/wool-live-export.aspx). Additional information about animal sacrifice and Eid al-Adha can be found on our site at http://www.IslamicConcern.com/sacrifice.asp and http://www.IslamicConcern.com/qurbani.asp. .

      We appreciate your concern for the animals sacrificed during Eid and urge you to use the above information to raise awareness of animal sacrifice by writing letters to editors of newspapers and magazines as well as to government officials responsible for protecting animals; for letter-writing tips, please see http://www.PETA.org/action/activism-guide/letter-writing.aspx. We also encourage you to turn compassion into action by contacting animal protection organizations in countries where sacrifices occur (http://worldanimalnet.org) to learn how to help local animal advocates put a stop to these practices.

      Since you are outraged by the cruelty of animal sacrifice, you will be horrified to know that millions of animals are slaughtered every day under equally gruesome circumstances. To learn more about how animals are tortured and killed by the meat industry—and how you can make a difference—please visit http://www.PETA.org/issues/animals-used-for-food/default.aspx.

      Thanks again for writing and for everything that you do to help animals.

      Sincerely,

      The PETA Staff

      Shame on many of you. You have disgraced us.

      This is not the behavior and voices of those who stand with Glenn Beck and the 9/12 movement. Sure there are terrorist. Sure they are Islamic. But marketing to Islam is not the same as directing marketing to the extremist.

      The principles we of the 9/12 group and that Glenn Beck teach are to be a better person. Look beyond bigotry and love God and all men. Heavenly Father loves all His children even those who follow the Islamic way. Should we not also try to rise above our petty differences and strive to be like God and love all His children. We do not have to agree with them. We don’t even have to give in to the Extremist demands. But this is the system of Government that God created in this Nation. A system that all people from all religions should be able to worship according to their consciences and buy the things that are considered appropriate for their consumption. If you stifle this then what other freedoms are you willing to stifle for your so-called correct perception of Constitutional freedom. It’s time to be a better people. It’s time to not harden your heart against a demographic of our Country but soften it and love them. And if a Muslim tries to kill you, shoot em. But don’t forget to pray for them afterward. The value of a soul is great. Especially in the eyes of our God. Even the soul of a Muslim.

      Muslims that come to the USA should leave their culture behind and assimilate. Or they can stay in their own countries. Unfortunately, this “diversity” horse manure is eroding our nation. It just does not work when dealing with Islam.

      @BALROG A Large criminal death cult. Please! The extremist could be compared with the Italian and Chineese mafia’s but not the whole religion. That’s uncalled for. There are plenty of scriptures in the Jewish Torah that could be used against Christianity and the Jewish religions as well. But almost all don’t submit to killing their own children because they were disobeyed.

      Look I don’t submit to Muslim theology and will opposed any Government permissiveness of sheriah law. This wasn’t the point of my post. It was to bring out the shameful hateful rhetoric towards all people of Islam when most are good decent people who want to live their religion in peace. Most people of Islamic faith don’t want to conquer America. Those who do, need to be opposed and stopped. Even with violent but legal measures if it becomes necessary. But marketing to them in an area that has a decent population of Muslims is intelligent and NOT the mark of a traitor looking to sell out their country. You must strive to become a better person and love these people. Hate what they do but love the person. They are worthwhile and are going to be the most helpful people in our country against the extremist as many left their countries to escape that stuff in the first place.

      @ BECKISNUTS Rubbish! That’s interesting. You come across as a very hard individual. If you aren’t my apologies. But I stand on my points of valuing the individual. I know that as Muslims come here and do not assimilate it will cause a different set of challenges. But a Muslim was also a Founding Father and they have a right to come here and worship according to the dictates of their conscience. They also must follow the law. So long as they are doing that what complaints can there be. You say they don’t assimilate. Well if I recall neither did first generation Italians, Irish, Latinos, and Asians. It’s the second and third generations that do the most assimilating. The first generation comes and does the best they can and good parents teach their children that they should learn the English language, do well in school, get a good job. First generations are usually not as successful in assimilating but if wise encourage their children. Look at China town, Garden Grove CA, German towns, and whole sections of Cities with Italians. They are all over the country. This is just the way people are. They will assimilate in time. But to hate them is ignorant and shows that you have alot of growth in your future. We all do. My point again and I stand on it is the value of a soul is great in the eyes of God. And if they are good enough for Jesus to die for then they are good enough for me to love. And the best of us who will preserve this country will also do the same.
