In a move that endangers a major sector of German agriculture, there is an effort to ban pork sausages from public cafeterias in schools, hospitals, nurseries, and elsewhere. Judged as a portion of tax revenue, pork agriculture accounts for nearly a fifth of the local economy in Germany’s Schleswig-Holstein region. Pork sausages are at the very heart of Germany’s traditional cuisine. Yet the decisions have been made in many parts of Germany to simply remove pork from public life.
There is some opposition to the move to strip pork sausages from Germany.
“The protection of minorities – including for religious reasons – must not mean that the majority is overruled in their free decision by ill-conceived consideration,” said [parliamentarian Daniel] Guenther, as quoted by Deutsche Welle, arguing that tolerance must mean “the appreciation and sufferance of other food cultures and lifestyles.”
In the face of similar pressures, a city in Denmark recently passed a law that mandated pork be on the menu in public spaces. The Danish government says that this is to protect its traditional culture, including its food culture. Muslim advocates say that it is to try to limit Islamic immigration to the city by creating a hostile environment.
The moves to get pork removed from the menus of public cafeterias are either a case of self-censorship by Germans, or a case of civilizational jihad. If they are self-censorship by German institutions, they may still be motivated by advice from branches of the Muslim Brotherhood received at the highest levels of the German government. In either case, the move serves the purposes of civilization jihad: it prepares the German people to submit to Islam. They are becoming conditioned to living under sharia law — in this case, to accepting the absence of pork from their menus, even though it means disposing of aspects of their traditional culture that they may quite value.
For some reason, no one describes this as “creating a hostile environment” for Germans or Danes. When someone moves to create a public space in which core expressions of your traditional culture are banned as offensive, that someone has engaged in a hostile act. If a Western government were to go to an Islamic country and ban some traditional aspect of the culture, we would describe it as “imperialism” or — for those most committed to the idea that this is wrongful behavior — “cultural genocide.”
For some reason, when our own government does it to us, we accept it as justice. Must our traditional cultures be dissolved to make way for Islam?
That would be like the U.S. banning hamburger.
In related news, a small earthquake was registered near Charlemagne’s grave.
They didn’t ban pork sausages to avoid offending the dietary sensibilities of Jewish people. Why start now?
I would use this as a political platform to run against the treasonous elites destroying Europe. No special accommodations for Satanist invaders.
ISLAM - Changing the face of a country near you! YOU’RE NEXT!
Unless you abandon your foolhardy political correctness NOW!
Jews don’t behead people for their eating habits...
I see Europe declaring war on the United States . . . but this time she’ll be an Islamic nation.
Good grief!
Germany must be being trained how to govern by the mentally ill running CA.
They don’t try to force their dietary restrictions upon other people, either.
Banning sausage anywhere in Germany translates to Germany is now dead.
Germany is lost. It is not a country anymore.
OMG! What’s next? Sauerkraut? Beer? Did all of the Germans with ‘nards die at Stalingrad??
Deutchland is LOST!
It would be like us banning hot dogs. This is sick loser leadership similar to the endless pandering to foreigners/illegals in the U.S.
exactly what I was thinking. I don’t eat pork but I have no problem with anyone who does. It doesn’t bother me to see it on menus or in grocery stores. Germany needs to grow a pair. I can say that as I lived and worked in Germany for many years prior to coming to the USA
Germany is now under Sharia Law.
Pray America wakes
