So many odd angles here, I don't know where to begin. But this ought to really hurt Churches business. Black folks who hear about the discrimination suit will turn to KFC and Popeye's. A lot of white folks won't want to patronize a sharia business...I know I won't.

[Tigercap]

I did not know that.

No Church’s chicken for me and my family.

Our Church’s Fired Chicken closed about a year ago......Did they go bankrupt?..............

Just how is this different than “Chick-fil-a” not open on Sundays...

If I boycotted Churches it wouldn’t cost them a dime, cause I won’t eat their stuff anyway.

[Hegemony Cricket]

Shouldn’t we force them to change the name to “mosque’s chicken”?

[wastedyears]

I’d tell them to shove it.

If they want to perform a take over, prepare for war.

[dfwgator]

Shouldn’t they call it “Mosques Chicken” instead?

[mathluv]

I don’t go to Church’s. I go to Popeye’s, but I thought Popeye’s had bought out Church’s!!?!?!?!?

Under western law they have a case because of their contract, but under Islamic law they’re screwed because the Koran states that Muslims are not obligated to honour contracts made with infidels. Given they way courts in most western countries have been ruling lately they could well lose.

Hum, I note that Boston Market no longer sells ham (one of their staples for years). I went to a local chain chinese food chain (Pick up Sticks) and everything was either chicken or beef, no pork(my favorite).

I think this is happening a lot. Silently. Needs to stop.

“First Islamic changed its name to Arcapita in March 2005”

Wonder why?

All of the Churches Chicken restaurants I've visited seemed to have a predominately black clientele.

Churches definitely serves the largest, juiciest pieces of chicken in the fast food business.

Too bad about this sharia nonsense. Looks like they loose my business.

I actually worked at a Church’s Fried Chicken in my neighborhood (N. VA) when I was a teenager in the early eighties. That location went out of business long ago, but I suspect it was because of supply-chain difficulties (everything had to come from far-of San Antonio) which were the bane of its existence back in the day.

Pork products were not big on the menu in my day, but who knows how the menu may have expanded. It is quite possible that this “halal” problem had little to do with this particular franchisee’s failure.

However, you can bet your booty that one only has to scream “shariah-run!” and business will flee.

I rather doubt there are enough immigrant muslims and black muslims to keep a fast-food chain going.

I love Church’s Chicken. But not anymore. I’ll take Popeyes now.

Arcapita is 81% owned by "240 prominent individuals" in Saudia Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, UAE and others. This is yet another camel's nose under the tent.

How many American restaurant chains will silently be bought by innocent-sounding names like "Arcapita" and be forces to serve halal food?

For that matter, how many American banks have been compromised by the massive "cash infusions" from Arab investors lately?

The jihadis are buying their way into America. No pork, no alcohol for you. Might as well call the franchises "Mosque's Chicken".

If it was a Jewish company, at least they could sell any Kosher pork they could get their hands on.

On a side note, remind me not to buy any Church’s chicken - for obvious reasons.
