Netherlands: non-muslim Prisoners Forced to Eat Islamic Diet

White Prisoners Forced to Eat Islamic Diet

AMSTERDAM, 30/06/09 - The justice ministry considers that whites should after all have the option of eating pork, a spokesman has stated in reaction to a report in De Telegraaf. According to the newspaper, many Dutch prisons currently only serve Islamic food.

The ministry has concluded contracts in which the suppliers only provide halal food. Having two different menus was found too expensive. Prisoners are as a result no longer given any pork and only ritually-slaughtered beef or lamb, according to De Telegraaf.

The matter came to light in a court case brought by a prisoner against his prison in Sittard. "Freedom of religion is a great asset," said his lawyer. "But my client does not want to have any religion forced on him, he simply wants some meatballs."

The justice ministry said after the publication in the newspaper that pork will be put back on the menu for those who want it. How many prisons in the Netherlands only put Islamic food on the menu will also be investigated.

The Party for Freedom (PVV) will request clarification from the cabinet in today's weekly Question Hour. "It is known that Dutch prisons are packed with Muslims, but that of course does not mean that you must serve everyone with meat from ritually slaughtered animals," according to MP Sietse Fritsma.

Bread and water works well for inmates of any religion.

Who is the mental giant who wrote this?

Is "White" a religion/cult or is islam a color?

Remember how in school the bad kids got coddled and got everything they wanted so they wouldn’t act up and the good kids got the shaft?

The same principle is in play around the world with the mooselimbs.

I am always impressed with a double insult, hitting both the prison and the Muslim prisoners.

I wonder if the non-Muslims will be forced to fast during the day in Ramadan, or would that be cruel to starve them. Maybe they can get their year's worth of pork on those days when the Muslims can't eat anyway.

Ramadan fasts are only between sunrise and sunset. They pig out at parties (excuse the pun) after the sun goes down.

It’s all for show. Just like sticking their butts in the air and facing East to pray.

I didn’t realize that you can commit crimes and get your dietary whims catered to while in prison. My religion forces me to have only steak and lobster with a nice baked potato.

What is your religion - the faith and the Church of the Delicate Diet?

Sounds like an Eric Idle/Robby Coltrane church - The Church of Perpetual Pain (”Nuns on the Run”).

Loved the shower scene. It was a nice change of habit.
