You haven’t made the case that either Dominoes or this owner are “catering” to Islam.

No,I guess that they are catering to Christianity here. LOL!!

There is nothing to like about Islam advancing in the West.

So what is happening in the UK is nothing? That might just be the dumbest statement yet.

Some people will speak out against the problem, others will make excuses for it. We know where you stand.

A Kosher deli is a kosher deli. They don’t operate using Domino’s.

We have some Kosher deli’s here in Indy. They don’t use the name Burger King.

I presume your solution is that we require restaurants to serve pork.

My solution is to end Muslim immigration. Because if we do not, we will eventually lose. As they will never stop pushing. Another solution is to ban sharia law. This way we can put an end to sharia banks and sharia courts like they have in the UK.

Have a good day.

It's a business decision. There are a number of kosher Subway's in the US. Probably more difficult for high volume chains, McDonalds has a kosher location in Argentina, the rest are in Israel. I've been told there are some campus McDonald locations in the US which are kosher. If it's profitable, they'll do it, if not, they won't. Personally I'm not concerned about the effect of a halal Dominoes even here in the US.

I do not have a problem with it as long as they advertise as such. If they advertise as Halel Pizza. Fine.

You see the concept is another way Muslims are trying to infect us. You do know if they had their way, all Domino’s would not offer pork. That is what is really behind this. Can you see if they invade every neighborhood, this would be the outcome?

I would eat at their Domino’s or any other Domino’s. That is the point.

You can control immigration by country of origin, that pesky Constitution will prevent religion as a determinent. We could ignore it, but then they win.

We have to shut them down right away, no pork, they might attract Muslims.

I realize this is the UK, but in this instance I think that's an overaction, even if it were in the US. When they try to ban pork in all restaurants I'll oppose it, if a restaurant, or chain-see post 91, wants to do it for business reasons, that's their right.

We need more government control of these pesky private businesses. As Bill Clinton said “Our founders gave us a radical amount of freedom. We need to limit that.”

I still disagree. But I won’t pound the issue. I still believe that if they keep a chain name, they should offer the expectations of all of the customers who eat at that chain.

No they win by people continually making excuses for the problem and not wanting to take drastic actions. They win be continually using the Constitution and our freedoms against us while people sit around and twiddle their thumbs saying it is alright because it is freedom of religion.

Islam can be banned, it could be declassified from a religion to the political movement that it is and then banned.

I agree with that, if I liked sausage pizza, I wouldn’t like to go into a Dominoes and find it to be non-standard. You’ll note the Subway, and McDonalds where they have them, are clearly marked, so you know the menu is different going in. But that’s a business issue between the franchisor and franchisee, and the franchisor’s customers. If Dominoes wants him to serve pork sausage, he serves pork sausage or closes up. But that doesn’t seem to be the case here.

As I noted, the Constitution is a pesky thing. But no, Islam can't be banned from America. Political parties can't be banned either. Freedom is a nuisance.

Dominos made a business decision to ban pork at this particular restaurant, not all Dominos nationwide. I seem to be one of the few FReepers who actually believe in Dominos right to free enterprise on this point.

The laws of Halal are similar to Kosher because kitchen utensils, such as a knife or a frying pan, can be rendered unkosher/unhalal simply by being in direct contact with non-kosher/non-halal meat at some point and time. That is why simply offering halal meat options alongside non-halal meat options is not sufficent to be able to classify the restaurant itself as Halal.

Also, I would never trust the average Dominos employee to be diligent about washing their hands (or changing gloves) after handling some pork type product before putting their porky hands on my beef or chicken topping pizza. I don’t even want pork residue on my food and I don’t place much trust in establishments to keep strict barriers between the two. That is why Dominos decided it would be easier just to ban any pork product in this particular restaurant and replace the pork sausage, pork pepperoni, etc. with halal or kosher alternatives.

This particular Domino’s branch is in a Muslim neighbourhood and that particular branch has made a business decision to ban pork and pork-type products from their premesis. I have no problem with that.

Actually in largely Jewish areas, the people DO demand kosher certification before they use a particular restaurant.

sorry. as i said to another poster, i didn’t realise dietary restrictions were that strict.
also, seeing the word “ban” usually elicits a knee jerk reaction.
