Outside the walls of their mosque, it's not their society. Conform or leave.  They wouldn't permit it the other way around, so why should we put up with it?

The trouble is they're not afraid of using force to make it theirs. Just imagine if the bacon sign was left up; do you think Muslims would have just let it be and forget about it?

Some might, most would not.  But that's fine... For those that do, into jail they go (assuming the cops aren't afraid of offending them by arresting them).

She has every right to be offended.  Doesn't mane ###### - everyone else has every right not to care.  Don't pander to Islam the same way we shouldn't pander to any community that opts out of something.

My girlfriend's brother is a very dedicated Muslim, born here in the US, and he converted. She's having a birthday party soon, and there will be alcohol - he didn't condemn it and tell her not to host the party, he opted not to come instead. How is it that a dedicated Muslim like himself can just opt out and not protest, but this woman has to come out and tell the world she's offended about a little sign advertising bacon in a window? God forbid Wendy's puts the Baconator on a billboard on a highway by her.

lets not turn this into another muslim bashing thread. we already have plenty of those here on the forums. this is about some pathetic human troll, regardless of faith.

 

 

Except she's using her faith as the reason why she's offended. Admittedly, she's probably just one weirdo, but the company should never have conceded to her infantile resentment of a particular food. Even where I am from, every-so-often you get these idiots who come out against some food or some companies innocuous advertising and get their way by waiving the flag of "offense". Seems like a bit of a dangerous precedent to me.

Why is it so many people go out of their way to not offend Muslims these days?  When you move to another's land, you adjust to THEIR way of life, not the other way around.

 

If she doesn't like seeing ads for pork products, she has the choice to leave.

 

Seeing as this was in America(USA specifically) Muslims are as much of the land as any other since it's a country created and inhabited by people from other countries and cultures.   you know after they first ignored the natives who lived their and raped, pillaged and killed them all ;)

 

had it been a western european country you would have a point.  I mean you still have a point that it's a stupid overreaction and in a mixed country you shouldn't be offended by other peoples food any more than you expect them to respect yours, but the basis for your argument doesn't work for the location :)

Precisely. She's just a bitter old c word. Whether she be Muslim, Christian or Atheist, she'd have found something to complain about and get all "offended". Her mosque should tell her to pull her socks up and stop showing them in a bad light.

I'm willing to bet she's a recent import, not someone who's family have been there for generations.

I am sure she does not get offended when ISIS behead and kill people.  They won't accomodate minorities in their majority countries but they will talk about preferential treatment when they move to infidel land. Irony is, many non muslims are so brainwashed to behave good that they will go any length to accomodate these intolerants.

What makes you draw that conclusion. just because pig meat offends her has no relation to her supporting extremists muslim terror organisations.

The fact they are a part of the country has little to do with their attitude towards the liberal nature of U.S. society. Oddly enough, she probably moved there because of the oppressive nature of her homeland.

 

Kind of irrelevant though.

 

I disagree. Someone who has lived in the U.S. their entire life isn't going to complain about something like this. Once you immigrate into a foreign nation you have to accept that things are going to be different there. If multiculturalism and pluralism is going to work you can't have people like this going "omg, this thing I don't care for is being done here. I wish to see that stopped". She wasn't being asked to eat it, she seems to be offended by the idea the rest of society might want to.

can you guess what is wrong with that statement? can you see it yet?

I can't, care tell me? 

 

getting offended by what people eat? GTFO!

My empty stomach is offended by your photo. Please take it down.

Her head would explode with BaconX

Ground hot sausage + crumbled bacon, diced onions, diced poblano peppers and what you like, wrapped with peppered bacon. Basting sauce of your choice (Jack Daniel's BBQ is great.) Indirect heat BBQ or slow-bake at 300F until 160?F internal.

Some people get fancy and basket weave the bacon. Meh.

There's nothing wrong with that statement.   When in Rome, you do what the Roman's do or you push off back where you came from.

Still don't see it, ok.  There are plenty of English/American/Canadian etc people who are converts of various religions, I think they are already home, so yeah that statement was a bit wrong

    • By the sounds of that wall of Fox News propaganda gibberish attacking the Democratic Party you've already had plenty of "juices" flowing this morning. You've ruined what could have been a productive comment thread with your bias post.
    • (Topic to get the juices flowing this Sunday morning!...) Actually, the situation has almost nothing to do with "lack of skills", especially since assembly-line skills can be taught to anyone, including Americans, certainly. Rather, the inadequacy-to-impossibility of large-scale tech manufacturing in America today, and the reasons why America finds tech manufacturing completely onerous in the 21st century, has to do with politically driven laws amid a plethora of non-scientific, utterly politicized "science-fact" that is patently false, punitive business taxation at every turn, an array of judicial fines of unimaginable scope and complexity, and, last but not least, American unionization strictures that serve to actually slay job creation and hobble all such manufacturing endeavors in America before they can get off the ground. Globalism emerged, they tell us, as the needed answer to American hubris and an unholy American drive to excel. Unless one is buried under mounds of political propaganda, it's easy to see the absurdity of labeling the employees of SpaceX, for instance, as "unskilled labor"... Etc. ad infinitum. At one time in the recent past, American manufacturing prowess was the envy of the world in a wide variety of technical fields! The current federal and state government roadblocks against America becoming competitive globally in tech manufacturing are considerable, it's true, as anyone with a working brain knows. But remarkably, that is only half the story! The other half of the story is, of course, the corporations themselves... Chinese tech manufacturing is simply unassailable in terms of profits, because the Chinese government wants to see its tech manufacturing second-to-none globally so that no companies/nations can compete in terms of ROI, and China has completely succeeded in that goal. Let's tic-off a few things: *Chinese tariff policies are set according to what is considered best for Chinese business, Chinese employees, and the Chinese people. Huge difference with how things are done with tariffs in the US--as the US government (SCOTUS in this case, Congress in others) plainly feels that tariffs are "unfair" for the limited number of citizens who may pay them, whereas nothing is "unfair" when Congress considers the Personal Income Tax rates to be infinitely hike-able, along with infinitely enlarging annual budget deficits. *The Chinese government boldly subsidizes Chinese companies to artificially amplify their profits. *The Chinese government deliberately refuses to avidly demonize Chinese businesses and does not consider Chinese businesses "the enemy", so very unlike American (D)s these days. *Chinese labor laws and businesses are allowed to set their own labor policies according to what Chinese companies consider is best for companies and their employees... Simply put, American workers in tech manufacturing are not allowed to set their own labor policies! It is the height of hypocrisy for Americans to decry working conditions in China while simultaneously ensuring that American products are manufactured in China, not in the US, simply to maximize profits. There is nothing wrong with making a profit, of course, absolutely nothing. But there is plenty wrong with attempts to normalize hypocrisy of this kind! But rank hypocrisy and the (D) party in the US are longtime bedfellows... The current government in Washington is working overtime to see if it can toss out the horribly poor, failed economic policies of the past, while the (D)s still in Washington work very hard to bring back the stupidity whenever possible. With the right policies in place, America can be an infinitely competitive manufacturer.
