A Muslim lawmaker on Monday night raged at a catering crewmember of a Chinese restaurant for serving her food with pork.

Rep. Faysah Dumarpa of Lanao del Sur reportedly slapped the crewmember, Virginia Fernando Altamirano, and held a bread knife at her.

Altamirano, 36, has filed a complaint against Dumarpa with the Quezon City police.

“It is forbidden in Islam for a believer to eat pork or its derivatives. To do so is a grievous sin. An intentional consumption of such meat would hinder me from gaining entrance to paradise. Beyond dietary concerns, this is a matter of faith,” Dumarpa said in a letter to Ramon Sy, head of the Shangri-La Finest Chinese Cuisine, which caters for congressmen during sessions at the South Lounge in the House of Representatives.

Dumarpa said she “felt betrayed” and “grossly insulted” by being served food containing pork. “I assumed your [catering] crew purposely caused that by intentional concealment of the fact herein set forth. If it was not at all intentional, then there must have been gross negligence on their part.”

Dumarpa even demanded that Sy fire the crewmen, and that only halal foods be made available in the South Lounge.

Another Muslim legislator, Anak Mindanao party-list Rep. Mujiv Hataman, said the House leadership should take responsibility for the gaffe.

“This indicates lack of religious and cultural sensitivity even within the House of Representatives itself,” Hataman said in a text message.

To prevent a repetition of the incident, Hataman suggested that the House consider putting up a separate lounge for Muslim legislators and visitors of Congress.

Well, their founder was a pedophile. That goes a long way to explaining their religion.

There's another muslim in need of an attitude adjustment.

I recommend a baseball bat.

So what. Infidels all go to hell anyway. Eat what you want, infidel, and quit making your problems other peoples' problems!

This is another object lesson of the fundamental difference between Muslims and Jews. Only one of these two groups are devoutly in love with peace. One loves to fight. Jewish law written in the Torah forbids eating pork, but no Jew in a million years would get violent over being served pork. Those who cared are not eating pork would not put themselves in a situation. If the same scenario were to occur and Jew were served pork inadvertently, he would be upset, but it is inconceivable that a Jew would even think of attacking anyone over the incident. Islam took Jewish ideas and perverted them into an evil code.

Thanks for your replies. My thought for an aerosol bomb with pork molecules has evolved somewhat. And now I'm serious. I hope someone with connections wanders upon the ideas.

I'm one of those that believe we will one day have a much larger war with Islam. If that time comes, every available forestry tanker should be sent to the conflict, laden with soluble pork residue, and every crop and all livestock should be blanketed, followed by the dropping of leaflets telling the locals what has been done. Make them choose between fighting and searching for scarce food not tainted by pork.

BTW LibSnubber, your idea would make a nice little personal protection gadget. You might be onto a profitable idea.

What a crappy religion. One mistake and you'll never get into Heaven. Who in their right mind....

Um, nevermind.

I would not be at all surprised if our new Muslim representative Keith Ellison causes a halal menu to be forced upon Washington DC.

Yet another "Muzzie Outrage Alert" is required here, don'tcha think?

Ask, and ye shall receive. Happy Thanksgiving!

Ahhh, not THIS Shi'ite again!
