The Obama administration has banned bacon, pork chops, pork links, ham and all other pork products from all federal prisons.
But for those concerned that the U.S. government is bending to the will of Muslim inmates, the Bureau of Prisons, which falls under the charge of the Justice Department, insists the change was made based on a survey of prisoners food preferences, the Washington Post reported.
[snip]In general we welcome the change because its facilitating the accommodation of Muslim inmates, said CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper. We hope its not an indication of an increasing number of Muslims in the prison system.
[snip]The nations pork producers, on the other hand, who first learned of the ban on Monday when contacted by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram for comment, are not as pleased.

You really believe there was an inmate survey?
How about Nutraloaf for everybody?
They really expect us to believe that bacon was a food the prisoners did not want.
This will cause protests and riots in some prisons, particularly those dominated by Black inmates.
Sounds good.
‘S okay with me. And I know how vile that stuff is because I’m a C/O. The courts said three squares a day, it never said how tasty it’s gotta be.

Well there goes the Easter ham.
This article is a lie and is all bull spit.
They did it for the muzzies. It did not have a thing to do with any damn survey.
More lies from this government.
Indeed. Fish head or pumpkin soup is good enough for inmates. They eat better than most Vets do anyways. Also, remove weight rooms and TVs.
You mean they’re not doing this to accommodate all the Jewish inmates who are keeping kosher?
Sure....most of the black inmates have converted...
I've read that's one of the primary goals of islam...to convert as many convects as possible...!
I just spent six months on a US base in the desert and we didn’t get pork products. I think it’s cruel and unusual punishment. Good practice for the dhimmitude.
A need exists to stop posting things just to make people “furious”. Anger short-circuits thinking. One makes VERY bad decisions when very angry. Start taking action to remove this administration from power. Do it without anger.
What foods Muslims don t eat?
So, Muslims cannot eat foods that are not 'Halal'. Similar to Jewish Kosher laws, Muslims cannot eat any pork or pig meat. The Qur'an does not state why pig-meat is restricted, but some believe that it is because pigs are considered unclean. Also, like Kosher, an animal must be slaughtered while it is still alive.
Muslims are not allowed to eat dead animal corpses, blood, pig meat (pork products), and meat from animals sacrificed in cults where the name of other deities than God was mentioned (Al-Baqara, Ch. 1, Verse 173; An Nahl, Ch. 16, Verse 115).

Kosher food is provided
Enforced by law
Calmly come up with ways to shut down the organization CAIR and forcibly deport all members from the country. Until you can do that, don’t get angry.
