This Thursday, an all-halal burger restaurant will open in Milpitas, giving Muslim residents of the area a fast-food menu they can eat.

Wayback Burgers, part of a Connecticut-based chain, will be the company's first halal franchise and its first Northern California restaurant, a spokeswoman said.

The halal concept was the brainchild of Milpitas tech industry veteran Aziz Usman, who was interested in becoming a franchisee but wanted to open a place where his daughter, niece and nephew -- who adhere to a halal diet -- could enjoy the offerings....

Halal, which is Arabic for "permissible," refers to the Islamic dietary laws that specify how meat and poultry are to be raised and prepared. Many Middle Eastern and Mediterranean restaurants in the Bay Area serve halal food, and Ike's Place founder Ike Shehadeh has introduced a mainstream audience to halal chicken at his sandwich chain.

Too bad there arent' many FReepers around here. This'll make their heads explode!

1. Should make the anti religious DU folks heads

explode right? I mean we are having a restaurant preparing food according to religious law.
One good thing about Christian burgers. You just slap the ground beef into a patty and flip a couple of times on the grill.

3. Does anyone here have an issue with kosher food?

Same deal. In fact, observant Muslims who live somewhere where they can't get halal will settle for kosher.

5. For myself I avoid kosher and halal meats because I do not approve of the methods used

but that's also why I rather have to support the idea that people get to eat as they see fit.

8. Personally, I think most Kosher meat tastes better

I rarely eat at one because I like cheese and bacon on my hamburger.

9. Now hold on just a second...

Leviticus 11 says you can eat anything with a divided hoof that chews the cud.

Your teabagger has cloven hooves, horns and a tail, and that big ol' wad 'a chaw in the sides of their mouths counts as a cud. So theoretically you COULD eat one, but getting the mixture of raw sewage and bile that passes for blood in a teabagger out of one is no mean feat.
