A hard-working cafe owner has been ordered to tear down an extractor fan - because the smell of her frying bacon 'offends' Muslims.

Planning bosses acted against Beverley Akciecek, 49, after being told her next-door neighbour's Muslim friends had felt 'physically sick' due to the 'foul odour'.

“The smell of bacon frying is one of the most tantalizing smells to me.”

It is to them too - they over react to everything precisely because they know their benighted ‘culture’ can NOT compete with the attractions of the rest of the world.

Nueske's is simply the best bacon in the world:

It’s astounding how these little incremental moves, only a millimeter each, add up into miles, isn’t it?

Meanwhile, any Conservative argument has to be made over and over and over, repeatedly derived from the Constitution itself (which the other side is of course the superior intellectual expert on but oddly hasn’t bothered to read) while we fight through 3rd-grade level bumper-sticker talking points and repetitive blather. And WE are the troglodytes, the neanderthals. I swear it’s like trying to teach a hamster.

Muslims shouldn’t even know what bacon smells like.

I wish someone would figure a way to make bullets from porkfat...

The sight of a burqua or other full covering in public offends me.

Dear correctthought,

You're fired.

Most IHOPs I’ve been in are owned by Arabs. so what gives?

[al baby]

You know what offends me is burning Sky scrappers and jet fuel. F all Muslims

[MissyMack66]

The Arabs are taking over all the IHops too?? The last time I went to one, it was American owned.

[jospehm20]

That it does.

The slant for today is “Would NPR find the smell of bacon offensive?”

[Bellflower]

Devout Jews do not eat bacon and I have never heard them complain about it's smell. What I smell is arrogance. This is someone who thinks that he is king of the world and everyone should bow down to his least wish.

[Bellflower]

Thanks, hope to try them out. Have you tried their ham?

[Bellflower]

His real problem was probably that the bacon smelled so good it tempted him to eat it.

[The Shrew]

Yes. We get their spiral cut smoked hams for Holiday/Christmas buffet's. Simply wonderful.

Good! Now the people who work in this restaurant can be surrounded in thick smoke and choke on it! (Sarcasm galore).
