A Vermont diner decided to take down a sign advertising bacon after a Muslim declared that she had a beef with bacon. Sneakers Bistro had placed a sign on a lamp post that read, “Yield Sneakers Bacon.” The diner was allowed to erect the sign because of their participation in a beautification program in the town of Winooski. A woman who described herself as a “vegan and a member of a Muslim household” called the sign offensive, the Burlington Free Press reported. “Given the large number of Muslim families in Winooski, as well as many others who do not eat pork for a variety of reasons, it seems unnecessary for this insensitive business sign to be at the city’s main crosswalk,” she wrote on the Front Page Forum. The owners of the diner told television WPTZ they decided to proactively pull their pork ad and apologize. Local news outlets said the town manager commended the owners of the diner — using words like diversity and tolerance and dialogue. And boy howdy did folks dialogue. Lovers of pork chops and BLT’s fired off letters to the diner – taking them to task for giving in to the anti-pork police. The national outrage seemed to cause angst among the owners of the diner.

“They decided to proactively pull their pork”.
Who writes a sentence like that? I ain’t got much edumication and I could do better.
I’m in Texas. If it got bad enough that bacon was too expensive, we have a lot of 22 ammo and a large excess of wild pigs in this state....
Let’s put it this way, if this owner caves on this issue he has caved on others no one knows about. I wonder if he quit tithing at his church, too.
WHY?!?!?!?!
Why do people cave to this nonsense?!??!?
If YOU are offended YOU own the problem!
Deal with it!!!!
Next comes the outrage because the meat (that she doesn’t eat) is sourced by non-halal (non-muslim) vendors.
All of this outrage because some OTHER muslim apparently enjoyed trying some tempting bacon.
Someone, somewhere, may be having a good time.
I grew up near the large Orthodox Jewish communities in Monsey and New Square, NY. There have always been a number of Italian, Chinese, as well as some Soul Food restaurants in Spring Valley that serve pork, shrimp and other non-Kosher foods,(not to mentioned all those cheeseburgers the local McDonalds and Burger Kings sell) and those people NEVER complained. In fact, more often than not we all, more often than not, managed to get along, without any “sensitivity training”.
Go a few miles north and eat at Junior's. There's also one in Burlington. In addition to great pasta, they serve sandwiches with ham and bacon as well as spinach-bacon salads.
Yep. Bad call.
Cheese eating surrender monkeys.
Islam is at war with the world.
Is this true?
AMEN.
Did they replace it with a white flag?
AMEN.
