Jack Straw apologises after 200 Muslim prisoners are given ham sandwiches during Ramadan
This Is London ^ | 03/14/08

Muslim prisoners who were offered ham sandwiches during the holy month of Ramadan have received a letter of apology from the Government.

Officials said sorry to the 200 Muslim inmates of HMP Leeds believed to have been offered the meat, which is forbidden by Islam.

Jack Straw said in a letter that a "regrettable administrative error" led to the blunder and apologised for any offence caused to the Muslim community.

The Justice Secretary has ordered staff at the category B facility to be more diligent and prison officers will be re-trained to consider inmates' cultural and religious needs.

In October last year the sandwiches were on a menu created for the festival, which requires Muslims to fast in daylight.

A complaint from a city councillor to local Labour MP Hilary Benn led Mr Straw to send the personally signed letter to Mr Benn.

Nobody is forcing them to it,it was just offered.

So who has Jack's testicles.

Is there anything the Muslims don't complain about.

But Moshe Feiglin is banned from entering the UK. Go figure!

You’re not going to survive when you worry about offending those who want to murder you.

In my opinion, they are continually probing our defenses to see what we'll capitulate on. If they can get their way without the risk of resorting to violence, they will. However, they ARE willing to use violence, as history proves, when the non-violent means are resisted.

The end goal is the same, complete subjugation and conversion of all people of the world to Islam.

If the scum weren’t in prison it wouldn’t be an issue.

Speaking of which, how about offering them some mountain oysters?

Nope.

I'm thinking prisoners should be using soap with a little pig fat in it.

My letter would have been along the lines of: “I’m really sorry you dirtbags committed the crimes that put you in prison in the first place. If you had offered people ham sandwiches instead of murdering, raping, beating and stealing from them, then you would not have endured the unthinkable horror of being offered ham sandwiches yourselves.”

We’re always hearing the latest stupidity from the British elites; politicians and their fag media.

I’d sure like to know what Clive and Hermoine, average British citizens, have to say about this pussy-whipped insanity.

Yep, that pretty much sums up the Muslim mentality.

simple solution: remove ham and eat bread
socialist solution: create zads of laws protecting the offended party. Punish the offenders (for serving ham, not the criminals). Start riots and speeches over offenses to Islam (or any other multicultural group).

Gee, it seems like the simple solution makes more sense

My father I had to eat what was put in front of me - I ate it or went to bed hungry (not too often did that happen).
