Bistro Takes Down Bacon Sign After Muslim Woman Complains

For some reason, the vast majority of Americans can’t get enough of bacon. So Sneakers Bistro in Vermont put up a big sign proudly advertising bacon on it. There’s just one snag: a local Muslim resident wasn’t happy about it and got the bistro to take it down...

One Muslim woman complained on a public forum that she took offense at the sign. The owners of the bistro ended up reaching out to her. They apologized and took the sign down, saying they didn’t mean to offend anyone with their bacon celebration.

The bistro tweeted out a link to an explanation on their Facebook page about the decision, but as of this posting their Facebook page is down....

They ended up getting quite a lot of negative reactions.

Get a bigger sign would be the proper response:

Great job!

Thank you for reassuring this old coot that there may yet be a future for our once great and proud country.

Well - everyone should not eat there - until it’s back up there! Either stand up for your rights - or go out of business...time to play hard and stop with all these soft gestures to appease a culture bent on submission, not freedom!

If the owner asked her to leave, he’d have done himself a lot more good, I am sure

Because you are educated - and realize some things are what they are - where a moslem is taught to hate, take zero responsibility for his/her actions, and believes control by thugs is acceptable....

Who else blames God for something they have free choice in goes astray and doesn’t work, and says, “Inshallah” (If God wills it).

Excuses - moslems are all pathetic and offer nothing towards the advancement of humankind - but then again, I’m preaching to choir.

Good Protect Israel and her people! (...and I’m Catholic)

Kissing Moslem *ss is going to have dire consequences down the road, when terrorist sleeper cells awaken.

Let’s hope America’s military and intelligence services, in opposition to vast numbers of American citizens, have their eyes open and their ears up.

The real problem is the American people are reacting to the media hype and what ever the MINORITIES dislike and offends THEM.

I could care less what the muzzies think or dislike here in America. As a matter of fact, the muzzies offend ME.

“I LOVE BACON” (Gives me an idea for a new lapel button. They should sell like bacon and eggs, hamburgers, ham and cheese, pork chops and anything else made of pork. Should be a real market).

By the way, how come muzzies only dislike bacon?

“Volunteer Dhimmitude.”

Right. Rather than tell the offended that she should go the F back to Islamostan the wimps in charge of the restaurant chose to cave.

I was thinking about walking into a grocery store - picking up a packet of bacon and walking around the store and touching everything with it while the moslems shoppers watch...then again, I’d probably be arrested for a hate crime...

If I were a known and famous liberal - and poured blood on the Torah or Bible - the minions would herald me as a genius and inspirational....

Funny how are rights are thrown to the waist side nowadays...

There is a reason for it, our time will come. Patience for now, but stay vigilant.

Blacks and muslims dictate, government protects them lawyers represent them racebaiters and the media promote them. This is the progressive white liberal utopia

At some point in time we are going to have to deal with Islam the same way we dealt with the KKK.

When I first heard about this last week, I thought of all the Jews who have lived here for the past couple hundred years. Never, ever heard of one making any such complaint. And if one had dared, who would have given a rip?

They should advertise goat ass with the phrase Muslims welcome.
