Nearly 200 Subway branches across the UK and Ireland have cut out ham and bacon, selling only halal meat, in response to demand from their multicultural customers

Muslims are forbidden from eating any non-halal food and meat from pigs and Subway said customers can identify those stores selling halal food by the special 'All meats are Halal' sign, which must be displayed in participating branches.
In the halal-only branches ham and bacon has been substituted for turkey ham and rashers.

For many animal charities halal slaughter is condemned as being cruel to animals.
Traditionally in halal abattoirs the throats of the animals are cut while they are fully conscious - an act many campaigners say is inhumane and needlessly cruel.

[h=3]HALAL DICTATES OBJECTS OR ACTIONS PERMISSIBLE UNDER ISLAMIC LAW[/h]Halal refers to any object or action which is permissible according to Islamic law. The term covers not only food and drink but also matters of daily life.

Halal foods are those that Muslims are allowed to eat or drink under Islamic Shari'ah. The criteria dictates both food which are allowed and how the food must be prepared. The foods most commonly addressed are types of meat and animal tissue.
The most common example of non-halal, or forbidden food is pork. It is the only meat that must not be eaten by Muslims at all, due to historical, cultural and religiously perceived hygienic concerns.

Other meats can be forbidden, depending on their source, the cause of the animal's death and how it was processed.
To be halal, the food must have come from a supplier that uses halal practises. Specifically the slaughter must be performed by a Muslim, who must invoke the name of Allah prior to killing the animal. Commonly a person will say 'Bismillah' ('In the name of God') before repeating 'Allahu akbar' ('God is the greatest') three times.
The animal is then slaughtered with a sharp knife, by cutting the throat, windpipe and blood vessels in the neck without cutting the spinal cord. The blood must then be drained from the veins of the animal.
Traditionally and according to Islamic scholars an animal must be conscious while slaughtered.
However the majority of halal abattoirs stun the animals before killing them.
Muslims must also ensure that all foods, particularly processed foods, as well as non-food items like cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, are halal.

I'm surprised there aren't more vigilantes trying to take back their towns and country for that matter.

Fuck these non-assimilating cock-roaches.

If I worked at Subway, I'd be sneaking bacon into their sandwiches anyway.

at first I said wtf? but then after thinking about it I really don't care. After all, its a private business and they can do what they want. Seems like it makes sense for them to do it financially because I guess Muslims eat a lot of Subway. If you as a consumer doesn't like their new "policy" then no one is holding a gun to your head to eat there. Go elsewhere where there is pork and bacon and whatever your little heart desires.

am I wrong here?

Why can't the cock-roaches just go to Subway and order the sandwiches w/out pork, why do they have to have the company change their menu for the minority, so that everyone else suffers?

they don't have to do they? Maybe I messed that. If they were forced by law to do so then don't get me started but they are a private company and they can decide to do what ever they wish. That means offering whatever cuts of meat, soups, cookies and types of bread they decide to. No? If they lose a lot of money because of this, then they will change back I would think. Maybe they will make more money because of it? I have no idea.

the company does not have to change the menu. They do so to meet demand. It certain regions, 'they' are not the minority

The only thing that will rile up the Brits is if the Muslims try to ban Heinz bake beans.

Your bitch should be with Subway, not the "cock-roaches" as you call them. They made the changes of their own free will. Nobody made them do it.
