...The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) welcomed the change because it accommodates Muslim inmates, but the groups spokesman Ibrahim Hooper said he hopes, “its not an indication of an increasing number of Muslims in the prison system.”...
Good for Grassley on this one.
“based on surveys of inmates’ food preferences, pork lost its appeal in the prison system years ago”
Poor babies!! Murderers, rapists, and thieves might be served something that isn’t “appealing”. Oh, the humanity! IIRC, that happened to me a couple times a week growing up. I survived.
all muslim prisoners really need is a bowl of rice and some water
Pork!
If you want to see a man get mad, just mess with one of Charles Grassley’s owners.
Con-Agra, ADM, Cargill etc, etc.
But it does show clear infiltration of muslimes and their dhimmi lackies in yet another government agency.
Yes - but the argument and the decision was based purely on money and not on the fact that the government was pandering to the muslims.
Senator Grassley. I wish to thank you for your service, not the usual BS as when the “thank you for your service” by the media grunts these words. You have always been the “real deal”.
In the meantime the Chicoms are stealing the largest pork processor in the country and moving the jobs to China. Maybe Trump will care about that.
This is emblematic of the state of our government. On those rare occasions when they do the right thing, it is generally for the wrong reasons.
So what were the prisons going to feed these snowflakes? Filet Mignon? The great thing about pork is that it is relatively cheap and available.
It is a little known tenent of Islam that the adherents don’t grow penises until they’ve bombed 100 Christians.
Ergo, they avoid pork b/c it puts inches on penises.
Chuck tip toed around the Muzzie issue.
He knows damned well who set this in motion.
The Bureau of Prisons already accommodates Muslim prisoners by serving them a special diet. Pulling pork from the menu or adding it back doesn't change that.
Okay, so they put it back on the menu. Now, they simply won’t buy any. This is called the bureaucratic slow roll. Give lip service to a decision or policy, but don’t follow it.
They will likely put some farmers, slaughter and packing houses out of business. They’ll complain, but the controversy is now officially over, so nobody will hear them scream.
Everybody knows that the decision was made to favor Muslims .... But the government falsely claimed it was because of cost, so Grassley was just calling them on their lie - which they obviously couldn’t support. He requested statistics, not only about cost but about the surveys, who did them and how they were paid for, etc.
An interesting thing is that in the last two years, they had already removed ham, bacon and sausage. Do they seriously expect us to believe that the prisoners didn’t like ham, back or sausage? Heck, they would be the favorite meats among most of the population. Obama’s big mistake this time around was to announce the removal of pork rather than just slipping it in under the radar as his prison administrator did with bacon, etc. Grassley and others should have complained two years ago.
