I'm not one to shy away from controversial issues. In fact, I love them. What I'm about to write about is arguably the most controversial topic in the history of our Muslim community. Well what is it? It's quite simple:
Our Muslim community is divided on the meat issue as you'll see in a moment. First let's envision a scenario of myself in Burger King with an old friend.
"Wow man... the B.K. Big Fish is huge man" I said. "Yes it's quite the catch" my friend replied. "Arright let's get that then..." *I turn towards the cashier* "I'll have two Fish Sandwiches and-" "Hey! Who said I wanted fish!" "Well... we-" "I want a Whopper! A WHOPPER!" "But they aren't even cut properly... it's not Halal" "It will be when I say Bismillah before I eat it." "That makes it Halal?" "Dude you're so dumb. Anything is Halal if you say Bismillah."
I shot him a disgusted look and proceeded to shake my head throughout the entire meal as he scarfed down the Whopper. You see, as Muslims, we are to eat meat that was cut properly (Zabiha...cut across the animal's jugular vein so it is bled properly). Most meat available in any restaurant is usually not cut across the jugular vein and thus not Halal but some people think otherwise. Some people think that if you say BISMILLAH, the meat magically becomes Zabiha and tolerable. People need to realize that magic is haram and you can't halalify a chicken once its on your plate on a bun.
Basically the logic is: anything makrooh (disliked, in this case meat that isn't cut properly) can be turned halal (lawful) if the magic words are said.
I decided to use this Bismillah logic with other things:
And next.
See the retardation?
I know, I know. Some of you are gonna start saying "BUH HAMZAH... WE CAN EAT ANY MEAT FROM THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK!!! THAT MEANS ANYTHING BECAUSE THIS IS A CHRISTIAN COUNTRY!!!!"
People of the Book = Jews, Christians, Muslims. Sounds great on paper but I checked out some of the Slaughterhouses and this is what I saw:
He even said that too.
Addtionally, this whole meat issue just causes havoc anywhere. Evil and greedy corporations essentially just genetically modify innocent chickens all over the world to fill their large pockets with green.
What's worse... genetically modified chicken in a KFC bucket or Arabs in a KFC bucket?
I think people need to realize that if there is no Halal option available, it doesn't hurt to become a vegetarian for a little while. Well, it only hurts if the veggie-burger or soy-chicken you're eating is filled with sharp razor blades or flesh-eating bacteria but I think that is rare. It's only happened to me once. Anyway eating leaves can't be that harmful. If the Zabiha diet is going tough then just remember: Fish-Filet is your best friend.
I hope you learned a spine-tingling lesson in all this.
so what's your take on the issue? i admit it, i used to eat the chicken burgers etc etc but i'm glad to say i've been haram free for the past three months :) yes and proud of it :p

haram is not always haram. what are u talking, yaar. even its allowed to neglect kalima if somebody is under pressure. all the things are written in quran. kabhi ghaur bhi kar lena chahiye.
these are the references about ur "haram is haram -theory": Al-Quran: 2:174 5:4 6:146 16:116
so think about it. aur phir koi fatwa dena. jidher dekho chotte chotte, pidde pidde mufti baithe hue hain. hahaha
haram sirf jaan bachanay kay liye halal hota hai, mazay uranay kay liye tu nahi na

i mentioend u;t jamat cuz i know they consider sharab haram too, but the way u were talking...others could have taken u wrong way and thought k maybe u'r jamat allows sharab..dat's why i said it...
i do know that halal/haram is all same in u;r jamat and any other muslim...no difference there..i think

first of all no one is going to challenge anyone here, and secondly, be careful of using such words like 'jahalat' for anyone here, and NO TANZ in anyway, no one is going to be perfect, i hope you got it.
back to the topic. main nay koi lafz nahi pakra hai, halal ko kahan pakra main nay? aur kia ghalat kaha halal kay baray main? aur main nay just traditional way main baat kar di thi. Islam main KHAMR haram hai, that is, anything that intoxicates the mind, aur alchohol (i know its scientific word only) jahaan drink kay tor par use hoti hai KHAMR ki definition main hi aati hai.
aur sharab (where i used it? , anyways ) bhi traditional meanings main (both in urdu and english, drink) aisay liquid kay liye use hota hai jis say intoxication hoti hai, i know arabic main aisay use nahi hota. agar aap aisay use nahi kartay hain tu aur baat hai. now words tu aap pakar rahay hain 'alchohol' , 'sharab' etc.

i dont agree.
"Quran pak mei alcohol haram nahi napasandida hai", Quran Pak main tu alchohol ka zikar hi nahi hai, its KHAMR only that is haram and anything that intoxicates the mind is KHAMR (alchohol, opium, heroin etc).
aur behakna tu sirf use karnay ka result hai, and there are many other harms in it too, aur haram wo hai who causes these harms.

in dat case, alcohal is not haram cuz hazrat umar (RA) had no right to add/delete anything that was finalized by holy prophet (PBUH)...and if quran ne sharab ko na pasandeeda karar diya hae then it's not haram...such as divorce..which is also na-pasandeeda act...but it is after all..halal
wow..this means booze party tonite... go go go..shorty..it;s u;r bday
anyhow..i still think sharab is haram...i'll do some research on it and come back to u guys...how it says sharab to be haram Bazigaar38486.9662268519

Just wanna add some more to badal's post wid referrences so that if anyone wanna check they can check too.
All Hadiths are from Sahih Bukhari
Volume 7, Book 69, Number 481: Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever drinks alcoholic drinks in the world and does not repent (before dying), will be deprived of it in the Hereafter."
Volume 7, Book 69, Number 492a: Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle was asked about Al-Bit a liquor prepared from honey which the Yemenites used to drink. Allah's Apostle said, "All drinks that intoxicate are unlawful (to drink)."
Volume 7, Book 69, Number 482: Narrated Abu Huraira:
On the night Allah's Apostle was taken on a night journey (Miraj) two cups, one containing wine and the other milk, were presented to him at Jerusalem. He looked at it and took the cup of milk. Gabriel said, "Praise be to Allah Who guided you to Al-Fitra (the right path); if you had taken (the cup of) wine, your nation would have gone astray."
Volume 7, Book 69, Number 483: Narrated Anas:
I heard from Allah's Apostle a narration which none other than I will narrate to you. The Prophet, said, "From among the portents of the Hour are the following: General ignorance (in religious affairs) will prevail, (religious) knowledge will decrease, illegal sexual intercourse will prevail, alcoholic drinks will be drunk (in abundance), men will decrease and women will increase so much so that for every fifty women there will be one man to look after them."

Few Hadiths from Sahih Muslim
Book 023, Number 4956: 'A'isha reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) was asked about Bit, whereupon he said: Every drink that causes intoxication is forbidden.
Book 023, Number 4959: Abu Musa reported: Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) sent me and Mu'adh b. Jabal to Yemen. I said: Allah's Messenger, there is prepared in our land a wine out of barley which is known as Mizr (beer of our times) and a wine from honey which is known as Bit, (are these also forbidden? ), whereupon he said: Every intoxicant is forbidden.
Book 023, Number 4962: Jabir reported that a person came from Jaishan, a town of Yemen, and he asked Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) about the wine which was drunk in their land and which was prepared from millet and was called Mizr. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) asked whether that was intoxicating. He said: Yes. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Every intoxicant is forbidden. Verily Allah the Exalted and Majestic, made a covenant to those who drank intoxicants to make their drink Tinat al-Khabal. They said: Allah's Messenger, what is Tinat a]-Khabal? He said: It is the sweat of the denizens of Hell or the discharge of the denizens of Hell.
Book 023, Number 4963: Ibn 'Umar reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Every intoxicant is Khamr and every intoxicant is forbidden. He who drinks wine in this world and dies while he is addicted to it, not having repented, will not be given a drink in the Hereafter.

so this was all bout wine...how bout beer?
I think you mean non-alchoholic beer, that is claimed to be alchohol free.
It was reported that the Prophet (SAW) said: "Every intoxicating substance is haram. (Narrated by al-Bukhari) And it was narrated that The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: "Every intoxicating substance is haram, and whatever intoxicates in large amounts, a handful of it is haram." (Narrated by at-Tirmidhi). Focusing more on the question in point, that is whether a non-alcoholic Beer is haraam; Non-alcoholic beer is haram because although it is claimed that it is alcohol free, it does have some alcohol in it.
It was checked with beer manufacturers and confirmed that non-alcoholic beers do have a minimum amount of alcohol in them because during the manufacturing process, a small amount of alcohol is unavoidable. Also, the matter was checked from the legal perspective and found that U.S. law (and probably European law, too) allows beer manufacturers to claim that it is alcohol free if it contains less than one percent alcohol.
Also look at the answers.com definitions of Beer:
a. A fermented alcoholic beverage brewed from malt and flavored with hops. b. A fermented beverage brewed by traditional methods that is then dealcoholized so that the finished product contains no more than 0.5 percent alcohol. c. A carbonated beverage produced by a method in which the fermentation process is either circumvented or altered, resulting in a finished product having an alcohol content of no more than 0.01 percent.
only white meat here...
laikin yahaan tu yahi ho ga na, authentic answer chahiye tu tu kisi ftawa site par post karain 
, anyways 
) bhi traditional meanings main (both in urdu and english, drink) aisay liquid kay liye use hota hai jis say intoxication hoti hai, i know arabic main aisay use nahi hota. agar aap aisay use nahi kartay hain tu aur baat hai. now words tu aap pakar rahay hain 'alchohol' , 'sharab' etc.
