Ok, it's liberalism : as long as it is legal, you can sell and not selle whatever you want.
But a Fast-Food chain getting pork out off it sandwishes to offer Hallal food, this is going too far, we're at the point whereIslamic laws are now ruling the society...

If you're muslim and you want to eat Hallal, don't go to fasst food retaurnts. There are thousands of outlets selling Kebabs that are totally Hallal and cheaper...

or reduce muslim immigration

reduce the market for halal

apparently the "Sensitivity idiots" are getting around:hatsoff:

 

[Facial_King]

Kill all the Muslims, blah, blah, blah, blah.....

Okay, now let's actually discuss this?

 

[BlueBalls]

The "offending" Quick outlets (three are in Paris suburbs) are located in predominantly Muslim neighborhoods, in an apparent concession to a $1.3 billion halal (meaning ‘legal’ under Islamic law) food industry. While French Muslims didn’t ask for pork-free fast-food at Quick, they are appreciative of them, if sales are a sign.

Seems logical on the part of the company, they want to increase their profits by tapping into the largest surrounding market.

I think I'm going to go eat a pork sandwich while I scribble pornographic pictures of Muhammad on the exposed cleavage of an Afghan girl and waterboard an Imam.

In this case, the fast food shop is wrong.

It seems like the Muslim community, in France, wants to be segregated and this fast food shop seems to encourage the segregation and mob aspect that the Muslim community should work harder to try to dispel.

We will never get anywhere, humanity-wise, if all we do is encourage segregation by race or religion.

i love bacon !!! shit man, just cuz the place has bacon, doesnt mean muslims cant eat other burgers that are non halal

serious, why do they force their way on other ppl just cuz they are so extreme..

yea but why cant muslim population eat a burger at a place that serves pork? no one is asking them to eat pork...but why not compromise? next thing theyll say is they dont want to live in a place that allows pork

Can I come along?

Un-freakin'-believable. People need to unclench. If you don't like it, don't go there. If you don't like the song, change the channel, if you don't like the tv show, change the channel. Other people like those things. Fucking buzzkills.

Aaaargh, who gives a fuck?!!!

Consumerism is about offering options that make profit for companies.

It's just an extra option on a menu that will cater to a minority that would otherwise not spend cash there, thus generating *extra* cash for said company. No point in arguing over it, money doesn't have a race.

Pork....mmmmm!
