Officials insist this has nothing to do with Muslims.

Following a recent influx of refugees, most of which are Muslim, a city in Denmark is reportedly making pork mandatory on municipal menus.

The council motion narrowly passed in Randers, a principally Lutheran county in Denmark, the Associated Press reports. It was proposed by the populist Danish People's Party, which has maintained an anti-immigration stance in the midst of the refugee crisis.

Frank Noergaard, a council member as well as a member of the DPP, insisted that this move is not an attack on Muslims, who are religiously prohibited from eating pork, but rather it's a way to uphold pork as "a central part of Denmark's food culture."

Not only Jews, but also vegetarians and vegans would be discriminated against by including pork products in every menu item.

Why? Because they, like most of the _western_ world ignore the Word of YHVH. They have done away with His instruction (law). The majority church, is lawless and have brought “The Curse”. In Daniel 9:11 and Ezekiel, YHVH the (Hebrew word) under Curse is H-Allah. “H” the definitive, “Allah” ...

There’s a yet contemporary lesson in Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice”, where a muslim could come to woo Portia. Yet were that wooer a Jew, he would have been meat for the dogs.

Yeah, but why lie about it? Of course it has to do with Muslims. Jews make no such ridiculous demands, and everybody else ( I think) eats pork.

I didn't see in the article the statement that every menu item had to include pork. Just that pork had to be on the menu.

Did I miss something, or did you?
