Subway Adopts Sharia Law For 185 UK Outlets With 'Halal Meats Only' Policy

[Incorruptible]

Subway in the UK has decided to stop selling sandwiches with ham or bacon because the pig is considered unclean and not halal. This will affect 185 Subways in Britain and Ireland.

Radical Muslims demanded that Subway stop offering pork and Subway accepted. It's alright to ask Subway to offer halal but they want Subway to offer no pork at all even though other customers want it. This is pandering and another failure of multiculturalism. If they don't like pork then why not go somewhere else but instead make everyone else suffer.

Also this isn't fair at all to other religions who want pork on their sandwiches. As well the practice of halal is cruelty to animals since they slit the throat.

Subway should reverse this decision but they won't because they are pandering. Should Subway stop selling pork?

Why do you like un-clean meat?

 

[Genx87]

There has to be something missing from this story. I find it hard to believe they would completely drop pork because of a minority position. Perhaps they offer Halal meat as an alternative?

Who gives a shit what a private business does? Why are you against the free market taking control? Why do you hate freedom?

If you had to choose between losing a substantial amount of your business (look at the comments from british citizens in the comments on that page) and getting your stores bombed by moderate muslims, what do you choose?

You can take away the yoga mat materials, but you CAN'T take away our BACON!!!

These are Subway stores specifically targeting Muslims. Subway will still have pork in most of their outlets.

What on earth are you blathering on about?

'Radical' Muslims have nothing to do with this, it's simply an economic decision made by some franchise owners to cater to the local demand of their customers.

If other people are really that desperate for pork on their sandwiches then they can do the exact same thing that the person who wants to buy a car does... go somewhere that sells what they want.

Subway really should stop selling such unhealthy crap processed 'food' in the first place but unfortunately that's what their customers want... Subway are pandering to the demand for junk food.

As long as they don't touch Jimmy John's Ultimate Porker. That is one damn good sandwich.

No.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Why do you hate the free market? Why do you hate freedom? Why do hate the Constitution (even though it has ZERO bearing on this).
Why are you such a blathering, incoherent, xenophobic, ethnocentric fucktard?

 

[MixMasterTang]

Subway has around 1,500 sandwich shops in the UK.

This is a very odd decision for Subway. Was it not possible to just offer both halal and non-halal meats? I don't see how this decision is better for them than the alternative.

 

[GoPackGo]

Queen Victoria would have never put up with this.

 

[brycejones]

Outrage not found. Subway is catering to what their customers want in some markets. Sounds like the capitalist system at work to me.

Would the OP be outraged if Subway only sold Kosher meats in certain markets?

That is not good enough for the muslims...once they get the numbers they will want the same thing here.

Well when the alternative is getting a fatwa put on you maybe?

If I'm not mistaken it was probably an issue of not being able to ensure the halal meets didn't come into contact with surfaces that had also been used with non-halal meats.

So, if someone steals a bag of chips what, they get their hand cut off?

Also, it must be a challenge for a "sandwich artist" to prepare a sub with only their right hand.

No, but in some states you shoot them in the back as the run out of the store.

 

[Pens1566]

I thought that private businesses should be allowed to do whatever they want, right???

Also, kudos for the OP for not using the word 'leftist' in a post. First time in ages. Wonders never cease.

That nitpicky type of shit pisses me off. It's like when a Christian complains about the "War on Christmas" because someone says Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas. I don't care what your religion is, quit trying to make others jump through hoops to conform to it.

I wonder how many Subway employees who think this goes too far will randomly bring in bacon and touch all the other meats with it just as a childish "fuck you".

They could have done this but they decided not to for some strange reason. They risk losing customers now who actually want pork and don't like pandering.
Also this wasn't' the free market. These people demanded that they stop selling pork and want their values pushed onto others. What would have happened to Subway if they didn't listen?

The penalty for stealing in sharia law is amputation.

LOL Incorruptible thread.

 

[Texashiker]

It is called "creeping sharia."

Get used to hearing those words.

Everyone complaining in this thread needs to look at the big picture. Sharia law is creeping in parts of Europe, Canada and Australia.
