Full headline:
Burger King now serves bacon in South Africa — but dropped ‘ham’ from the names of burgers ‘to be more respectful’ of halaal clientsNow this is some non-fake news I wish were fake and/or satire. The “Ham” in Hamburg translates as “water meadow”, so this is preemptive dhimmitude based on “false friend” linguistic mistakes of all things.

So we have to change the name of hamburger to avoid offending Muslims?? What the heck? This sounds like satire or parody.
To: Olog-hai
Well, they apparently have one in the US that is beefless so........... But bacon is okay? Well it’s awesome for me. And, let’s not get started on the whole “I’m allergic to bacon.” theme again.

Reminded of a few years back, when a guy lost his job for using the word “Niggardly”... Sigh.....

This, from the same people who were handed AK-47s and put the rear sight up to maximum range. The logic being the rifle needed more power the shoot a bullet 800 yards. So wanting it to shoot as hard as possible, they put the throttle all the way up.

I'm no muslim, but I know it takes more than changing the name to make something halal.
Who are they trying to fool?

“The names are being changed “to be more respectful of” its halaal client base...”
Translation: Muslims are too stupid to understand hamburgers don’t contain ham.
To: Olog-hai
What about the city of Hamburg, Germany? Or Southampton, UK? Or Hamtramck, Michigan?
They must all change their names to avoid offending someone...

If hamburgers are made from beef, why do they call them HAAAMMMMMM-burgers?

WHAT??? I've got to change my name? To make WHO happy??
To: Olog-hai
This brings to mind an incident a few years ago when someone was accused of racism for using the word “niggardly,”which has nothing to do with race.
To: Olog-hai
Changed to “White Settler’s Burgers”. Delicious with no after taste.
