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

    • I am not a US citizen nor a Trump fan. Respect to both left and right. But I will, for the sake of fun, predict something for my own. There will come a day when the US and China will collide like titans ( over Taiwan or anything else ). Then, on that day, some people in this comment section will realize how good an idea it was to become independent in areas like that. ( Or atleast try )
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen by Usama Jawad Microsoft Edge may not be the most popular browser out there, but it does receive quite frequent updates that sometimes bring surprising new features and axe others that are not as popular. Now, Microsoft has detailed some of the new security enhancements that it has introduced in Edge for Business, typically used by commercial customers. Microsoft has emphasized that security features are baked into Edge for Business and offer native integration with security and governance tools like Defender and Purview. Browser sessions are governed by default on managed devices but can also be governed through dedicated work profiles on unmanaged devices. An important aspect in this area is controlling the use of shadow AI. We have talked about this before, but it essentially restricts employees from using unsanctioned AI apps through data loss prevention (DLP) policies, with Edge redirecting them to trusted AI services like Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature, available as a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license, ensures that confidential data never exits AI boundaries set by your organization in Purview. Additionally, Microsoft also has strong DLP policies for contractors. Contractors leveraging a Entra ID-joined work profile provisioned by their contracting company on a device managed by their actual employer can be restricted from downloading files locally. In such scenarios, the file is saved on the contracting firm's OneDrive rather than being downloaded locally. Another useful Edge security feature disallows copying and pasting from unmanaged locations and apps. Similarly, DLP policies can be configured at a granular level to restrict screenshots or downloading of files from certain locations. In the same vein, IT admins can block the installation of extensions, hosted apps, themes and scripts, and control if users can install extensions from external locations. They can also enable the installation of specific extensions and allow users to request access to certain extensions, so that they can be managed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, Edge for Business now has an on-device AI model that uses computer vision to see what's on your screen and block potentially malicious content immediately. This does not rely on site reputation, as it simply monitors what is being displayed on your screen, which means that it is effective against malicious content that takes over your screen and employs scareware tactics. Since this is an on-device AI model, it does use your system's resources, so it's enabled by default only on devices with at least 2GB of RAM and four CPU cores. You can find more details in the Microsoft Mechanics video here.

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.
    • Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?
