Vermont: Restaurant ad for bacon removed after Muslim claimed it offended her

The sign said “Yield Sneakers Bacon”: i.e., yield to the allure of the delicious bacon at Sneakers Bistro. But in the end it was the operators of Sneakers who yielded. For them, “diversity” means making the world a bit less diverse, by yielding to the Islamic supremacist demand that Infidels must conform their behavior to Muslim sensibilities. Remember the ironclad and ever-reinforced principle: in Muslim countries, non-Muslims must change their behavior to avoid offending Muslims. And in non-Muslim countries, non-Muslims must change their behavior to avoid offending Muslims.

“Advertisement removed after resident expresses offense,” by Hannah McDonald, WPTZ.com, August 23, 2014 (thanks to JJ):

WINOOSKI, Vt. —A sign on a lamp post at the bottom of the Winooski Circle displayed the words “Yield Sneakers Bacon” until Friday morning. The bistro owners took it down.

It got there as part of “Operation Bloom.”

A city program put it in place to keep its flower beds beautiful. If businesses do some gardening they can post an advertisement where they do it, but the word “bacon” on the Sneakers Bistro sign started a discussion about diversity on the Winooski Front Porch Forum.

It started with a post from one woman who wrote that the sign was insensitive to those who do not consume pork. She said as a Muslim she is personally offended by it.

The owners of Sneakers spoke to WPTZ. They say they’ve reached out to the individual who made the post and proactively took the sign down. They also say they regret any harm caused by the sign, and that their goal was never to cause stress or bad feelings.

“It’s nice that they were respectful enough to take it down,” said Caleb Wiley an area resident, “but I also think they shouldn’t have, or had to at any right.”

Other Winooski residents joined the conversation, and online too. One post reads the word “bacon” is not offensive. It’s something that describes food.

Winooski’s city manager spoke on behalf of the city. She said:

“The cool part of living in a diverse community is that it’s not always comfortable. It’s a fascinating place with lots of opportunities for conversation. The City has to pay attention to a lot of factors while acting within what we can regulate,” said Katherine “Deac” Decarreau.

Others recognize it’s a complicated issue, too.

“I respect her religion and her right to believe what she wants but I’m pretty sure the first amendment extends to bacon and the selling of it.”

Sneakers’ owners say their goal is to provide a joyful place for the entire community.

The Winooski Islamic Community Center was not available for comment.

When I see a muz in public, I make the Sign of the Cross.

The initial forehead tap is done slowly. He/she/it wrongly assumes I am making a salami gesture. The look of surprise/distain/horror is priceless.

[elcid1970]

Dig it! I will make the Sign of the Cross in like circumstances.

Only....what gives muzzies the right to show anger at someone else’s religious expression?

My bad, I forgot - the Koran does!

[Gene Eric]

Seems unconstitutional to me.

[all the best]

The next step is to declare that selling pork product to be offensive.

>> the sign was insensitive to those who do not consume pork. She said as a Muslim she is personally offended by it

The vast majority of Americans don’t consume Sharia and are personally offended by it. What now, she Muslim?

[re_nortex]

Vermont. Nuff said.

Once among the most Conservative of these United States, the home of Calvin Coolidge and reliably Republican for decades, it's now reduced to having a communist for a US Senator. How can a place go so thoroughly wrong in just a couple of generations?

[jughandle]

As one who respects life, Islam offends me.

[who knows what evil?]

Winooski? That's the Burlington suburb that wanted to build a dome over the entire town back in the 80's. Leftist lintheads galore.

Had a yummy breakfast or two at Sneakers years ago...took some getting used to the heavily-tattooed and pierced waitresses.

New York and Deadhead 'carpetbaggers'.

I like that! I am not Jewish, but my appearance sometimes leads people to think I am. Sometimes I’ll hum “Hatikvah” around Muslims.

Well I don't eat Cherrios but I'm not demanding that they be taken off the shelves because they "offend" me. Why don't they just tell these invaders to suck it up? What happened to "when in Rome do as the Romans do"????

[MarMema]

So next up - no dogs allowed and sharia law.

[Not now, Not ever!]

Her continued presence in my country offends me, When is she leaving?

[G Larry]

This is NUTS!!!

When will folks STAND UP?!?!?

Tell the offended to GROWN UP and GET LOST!!

muslems offend me

I’d walk a mile to offend those pigs.

MUSLIM POPULATION TIMELINE

1. As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens.

2. At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs.

3. From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves along with threats for failure to comply. At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

4. When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam.

5. After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues.

6. At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare.

7. From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels.

8. After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in Bangladesh — Muslim 83%, Egypt — Muslim 90%, Gaza — Muslim 98.7%, Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%, Iran — Muslim 98%, Iraq — Muslim 97%, Jordan — Muslim 92%

9. 100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace. Here there’s supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in: Afghanistan — Muslim 100%, Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%, Somalia — Muslim 100%, Yemen ---Muslim 100%.

Poor Vermont. They have the same problem other states have who were once very conservative but liberals move in and mess up the joint.
