The practice of political correctness may soon be tallying another casualty: the pig. Increasingly, as America and the rest of the Western world continue accommodating Muslim religious demands, pork food products are being singled out for removal from dining tables and pig-related trinkets banished from the desks of office workers.
If this continues, good ol American food, such as barbeque replete with hot dogs and ribs and the typical American breakfast of eggs, bacon and sausage, might be seen as the equivalent of political poison. Could outright censorship of pig depictions in drawings, pig references in literary works and pig portrayals in movies be far behind? Could the well-known, cartoon figure Porky Pig become a cultural embarrassment of our unenlightened past as we fear to utter the P word?...
In 2004, a Muslim-owned investment company, Arcapita (formerly Capital Crescent Investments) acquired the 1,200-unit Churchs Chicken chain. In 2005, Arcapita, with a net income of $70.5 million and assets worth $1.2 billion (2004), enjoined a franchisee from selling pork products. In correspondence with the franchisee, the corporate owners cited violation of shariah law as the reason for prohibiting the sale of bacon, ham and sausages. The restaurant owners were thereby forced to surrender to corporate demands and operate under shariah law. ...

No, my friend has absolutely no faith in government and has done nothing about the problem. She just gave up.

By the way, was it ever reported whether Obama had bacon with those pancakes? Just asking an innocent question.
It is just like boiling a frog, throw him in boiling water and he jumps out, but put him in a pot of comfortable temperature water then turn up the heat, and eventually the frog is cooked!
From where was the pig food? China?
That is interesting. Are they going to sue?
Here is a use for the pig that you’ve probably never heard of...

It’s made with 13% real PIG FAT. Navy SEAL teams use it. Some of our brave US Army troops in Iraq and Afghanistan use it. And...given the Koran’s strictures against pigs and pork in general (and the resulting banishment from Paradise for those who are ‘defiled’), this product (as I understand it) is FEARED by insurgents!
Developed by an American (not I) who wanted to give that extra-special psy-war advantage to our brave troops overseas.
American ingenuity at it’s finest!
Oh...and a good helping of bacon is wonderful anytime!
Disclaimer: I have no financial interset. I order, and so does me brother in Denver, CO...mmmmmm, pig!
If the people in this country can elect Barach Hussein Obama as President, anything is possible...
YUMMMMM!! BACON!!!!
Yes Sir and we will! THE SOUTHs GONNA RISE AGAIN!
There are parts of their religion that makes them self-righteous control freaks.
But I think they did that to Church’s chicken because their goal is to take over.
Be sure to check it out & make sure it is true, then write the corporate office, otherwise your boycott is wasted. AND be sure to tell your friends who eat there too!
Say the chain was bought out by a non-islamic group. They hated pork too for whatever reasons, and removed all pork from the menu. As the owners, they have the right to do that. In a free market if the customers disapprove of the new menu, they go elsewhere and the new owners would financially suffer for their decision. Additionally, competitors could leverage their pork-power menu and possibly financially gain from it.
Let them remove pork if they want to. They'll likely see a negative impact on business, and other business owners just have an opportunity laid on their lap.
Vincent: Want some bacon?
Jules: No man, I don’t eat pork.
Vincent: Are you Jewish?
Jules: Nah, I ain’t Jewish, I just don’t dig on swine, that’s all.
Vincent: Why not?
Jules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don’t eat filthy animals.
Vincent: Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood.
Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I’d never know ‘cause I wouldn’t eat the filthy motherfr. Pigs sleep and root in sh*t. That’s a filthy animal. I ain’t eat nothin’ that ain’t got enough sense enough to disregard its own faeces.
Vincent: How about a dog? Dogs eats its own feces.
Jules: I don’t eat dog either.
Vincent: Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?
Jules: I wouldn’t go so far as to call a dog filthy but they’re definitely dirty. But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.
Vincent: Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?
Jules: Well we’d have to be talkin’ about one charmin’ motherfn’ pig. I mean he’d have to be ten times more charmin’ than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I’m sayin’?
From the very little that I have read, they can miss out on paradise by just being around infidels. That is why they are so dangersous, eventually we will all have to convert or die.
That will send a message to those seventh century morons!
