COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- A decision by Ohio officials to remove all pork products from prison menus in response to a lawsuit by Muslim inmates is not sitting well with the state's pork producers and processors.

Both promise action of their own, including a possible counter lawsuit, to address what they consider an unfair and illogical decision.

If the Muslims don't like pork on the prison menu, then maybe they should stay out of prison!!

[WinMod70]

No bacon in jail! That’s all the incentive I need to stay on the right side of the law.

[dragonblustar]

Exactly. If they can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.

[dragonblustar]

Are they going to ban their cell mates from playing “this little piggy had roast beef”?

[manc]

we don’t live in Saudi or Iran and if they do not lie the menu then stay out of prison.

[Maceman]

Funny, they never eliminated pork to accommodate the Jewish prisoners that kept kosher.

ROFL

[Jaidyn]

Let’s get rid of beef and chicken, as well, for those who are vegetarian. Maybe bread and water diets will quell the noise?

[dragonblustar]

Funny, they never eliminated pork to accommodate the Jewish prisoners that kept kosher.

I wonder how many muslim men get a little pork in the showers?

[RWGinger]

Ohio jumped the boar on that one
heck the muslim is already getting halal meals

[glorgau]

No bacon for the duration !?!?!

The 8th Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment.

[ilovesarah2012]

Gluten-free bread, of course.

[concerned about politics]

Excuse me, but non-muslims LIKE pork, so get out of our faces.
If they don't like pork, they can have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich instead.
Problem solved.

[WOBBLY BOB]

call them "ALLAHPEANUTBUTTERJELLYSANDWICHES"

[colorado tanker]

Lessee, with pork off the menu, that leaves . . .

[februus]

Shouldn’t that be: If you can’t do the Ham, Stay out of the Slam!

[Loyal Sedition]

Just move the execution up a little, Friday should be good!

That takes care of half the problem.

Maybe the other would take a hint?

[MichaelCorleone]

What happens when someone inserts a page in the corann that says incarceration by infidels is illegal and therefore jihad is warranted?

[concerned about politics]

Yeah, and what happened to separation of church and state? Isn't this government property? Why would they force other inmates to comply with Sharia law?
