Some subway restaurants have taken upon themselves to ban pork products. Yes - Bacon, Ham and other pork products have been completely banned from their restaurants. Why? Because some of their customers are Islamic and apparently won't eat at subway unless it is 100% halal.
This is totally ridiculous!
I know many people who eat bacon on their subs on a regular basis, and they are up in arms about this - and one site, baconpatrol.com has even setup a petition which I recommend you consider signing on behalf of bacon lovers everywhere. If you don't stand up for your right to choose what you eat then this will be a precedent for the future.

Are we coming.....One step closer to a totallitarian world rule:confused: Where tolerance and acceptance are non-existant!

>>This is totally ridiculous!

not really. depends on the customer base.

there are neighborhoods in pretty much any big city that are predominantly {pick a descriptor} and that _is_ the clientele.

I've been to areas in greater London where if you ain't Sikh, you ain't.
and I've been to areas in Brooklyn NYC where if you ain't Hasidic, you ain't.
not to mention "Chinatown" [anywhere USA]

goes with the turf of no sun setting on the empire . . . eh?

I think the simple key is respecting difference.

Americans sometimes are a bit too guilty of taking "team spirit" to the extreme.

I'm as patriotic as the next guy. But I consider no one beneath me. And some (many?) do.

When I was on holiday in Egypt, I asked for egg & bacon for breakfast, I saw the waiters face & suddenly remembered where I was...oops they were not amused! I will sign the petition.
