I am hearing that on his deathbed Colonel Sanders received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!
I am sickened and ashamed that my country has lowered itself to inflict KFC upon the innocent muslims of Ontario.
Zionists proving they aren't Islamophobic by being the most Islamophobic people on the planet
Wait isn't it really similar to Kosher? Why are they mad? Isn't pork also not allowed?
they are functionally the same in terms of what animals are allowed for consumption. the slaughter rules are all functionally the same, except that to be kosher the animal must be slaughtered by someone who has been specially trained and knows the laws, while islam only requires that it is performed by any sane muslim who knows the rules. so, for an orthodox person, one seems to preclude the other. sometimes there are dispensations for islam that says anyone of an abrahamic faith counts. there is also some quibbling about inspecting the animal vs. inspecting its removed organs, and wether or not the name of god is said before the slaughter.
what this probably means is that they paid up with some consultants endorsed by a large enough muslim organization to modify the existing process to achieve a halal cert without losing their kosher cert at the plant.
its super obvious if you ever look up the rules that they came from the same cultural origin, and are only different due to time and space. the people who argue that there is a true difference in the two are pedantic dorks, even in the eyes of hashem/allah.
KFC orders all their chicken from maple lodge farms in Ontario and maple lodge has been doing halal for awhile
If it is kocher, it is halal. The opposite is not true.
Why are they mad?
Because they’re genocidal racists.
Every accusation is a confession
Pretty sure Popeyes has been halal for years, surprised KFC took this long.
Is it still halal if they serve the chicken medium rare? ...maybe that's just my local Popeye's, though
i'm gonna go with no.
Bojangles did this to me
Inshallah
Wow, those Muslamics sure are cunning. It’s like they’re following some sort of ~~Protocol~~ uh, I mean, plan, to ~~backstab~~ uh, sorry, wage terror against ~~the glorious white ra~~ um I mean Western Civilization^TM^
don't tell them, water is halal too
Alternatively make sure they know water is halal. Maybe they'll stop drinking and dehydrate themselves
First they came for the fried chicken
And I did not speak up for I was “anti Zionist”
My friends and I, while abroad, would eat so many meals at "the halal place" (we didn't bother to learn the restaurant's actual name). If we didn't want to get something more signature to the country, we'd order their fried chicken over rice. I don't actually have anything more to contribute nor can I justify this story with relevance.

I thought KFC was also on the BDS list, but I guess this decision was more future-proofing.
I am not going to lie I like bacon bits in my famous bowl slop bucket
How different is Kosher and Halal? Wouldn't this unironically be better for jews too?
Wait till they find out KFC owner PepsiCo's flagship beverage is also Halal. And how many brands Pepsi owns.
I don't remember haram things in KFC?
اللعنة على الغرب والصهاينة!
No pork doesnt mean its automatically halal
Theres also requirements for Halal Slaughter
LOL
Outside of a handful of franchisee markets, KFC Canada hasn't had pork products on the menu since the Double Down was a thing over a decade ago.

I was about to ask, "What pork products?" 
KFC is objectively the worst fried chicken franchise.
"Animals must be alive and healthy at the time of slaughter and all blood is drained from the carcass. During the process, a Muslim will recite a dedication, know as tasmiya or shahada.
There is debate about elements of halal, such as whether stunning is allowed.
Stunning cannot be used to kill an animal, according to the Halal Food Authority (HFA), a non-profit organisation that monitors adherence to halal principles. But it can be used if the animal survives and is then killed by halal methods, the HFA adds. "" -BBC article.
But "UK Food Standards Agency figures from 2011 suggest 84% of cattle, 81% of sheep and 88% of chickens slaughtered for halal meat were stunned before they died. "
So it means that the method of slaughter must be exactly as specified, and whether stunning is allowed or not is up for debate. I see that "healthy" is not specific, so a brain damaged or anesthetized animal may not count. I really feel like a religion shouldn't have such power over the meat industry, at least to the detriment of best practices. I can see a future where Halal practicing people won't/can't eat perfected lab grown meats because they are not technically halal, leading to an increase in animal suffering.
Regardless, it is an interesting conversation for not just animal rights, but other religions. Is it forbidden to eat "blessed" (or cursed) meat if you are from another religion? I can't imagine non-religious people care too much, but plenty of people believe in the power of prayer and vibes or black magic or whatever and if everything made at KFC has a prayer infusion then there might not be any reason to eat at a KFC for some groups.
Is it forbidden to eat "blessed" (or cursed) meat if you are from another religion?
If you are from another religion, then surely to you, their religion is a bunch of cultish nonsense and their blessings and curses have no power or substance so it wouldn't matter?
Hey currently religious rules include: -Eating scaleless fish or seafood is forbidden, but actually shrimp is ok but crab is not. -Wearing clothing made of two different fibers is a sin. -Don't cook a young goat in its mothers milk.
So I'm not about to assume what might be considered a non-issue to any specific religious community.
