well of course, I mean would you serve this guy if he walked into your restaurant?

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

I don't know what is worse... this action by KFC or the comments made afterwards in that article. :banghead2:

 

[volinbham]

If they are reacting to market forces - customer demand then I see no problem.

KFC has no more customer demand from me, I'll not spend another dime there.

I'm even thinking of going into competition, how would you like to buy one of my Aunt Criti chitlin' pizza franchizes??

I think you missed the point.

No he hasn't.

 

[overseasorange2]

I wonder what they do in India....

 

[droski]

who knew you could even get bacon at kfc

 

[gsvol]

No he hasn't.

What do you, Bham and PJ think of this??

Meanwhile, in the United States in 2007, several school districts removed pork products from their cafeteria offerings. Dearborn, Mich., schools banned pork completely to avoid the possibility that Muslims students might unknowingly eat it. The district later added special halal foods to its menu to cater to the demands of its Muslim population. An elementary school in San Diego that offers Arabic, single-gender classes and Muslim-only organized prayer, no longer offers pork to any of its students. And in Oak Lawn, Ill., where the administration is debating elimination of Christmas holiday celebrations, pork has already been banished from the school lunchroom.
...........................

In 2004, a Muslim-owned investment company, Arcapita (formerly Capital Crescent Investments) acquired the 1,200-unit Church’s Chicken chain. In 2005, Arcapita, with a net income of $70.5 million and assets worth $1.2 billion (2004), enjoined a franchisee from selling pork products. In correspondence with the franchisee, the corporate owners cited violation of shariah law as the reason for prohibiting the sale of bacon, ham and sausages. The restaurant owners were thereby forced to surrender to corporate demands and operate under shariah law.

What if muslims insist that Birmingham be changed to Birminglamb because ham is offensive??

Ths point is that islamic sharia law is like a creeping cancer and the best we can come up with is appeasement of ever increasing, never ending demands.

The so-called 'war on terror' is about the same issue.

As we speak legal beagles (backed by the infamous ACLU of course) are suing in Washington for the US to justify under international law the CIA drone missle attacks on talibani chieftans in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

They may or may not be successful in getting the practiced stopped and/or prosecution CIA agents in the world court in the Hague but any information they can gain will go directly to other taliban leaders who could use any information to avoid being hit.



Let's hope you infidel pigs will catch on someday.

 

[utvolpj]

some public schools have also completely removed all peanut products to cater to the handful of students with allergies. Does that upset you too? Some also offer special lunches for vegetarians or serve fish on fridays.

Also, any idea why I can't buy liquor on Sundays in TN?

Me more so than removing pork from schools. I wish my son could have his PB&J sandwich for lunch.

 

[volinbham]

No missing the point here. The story did not say whether KFC was forced to make the change by some regulations/laws or if they simply decided there's more money to be made by catering to a Muslim market.

If it's the latter then I fully support their right to make that choice (afterall that's what capitalism is all about) and can freely choose to go elsewhere for my bacon fix.

Cant offend the turbans

Actually not so many muslims wear turbans.

Right after 9/11 someone in Arizona shot and killed a Sikh who was wearing a turban, one of the things that makes that event even more tragic is the fact that the Sikhs have battled the muslims for 1400 years and have perhaps done the best job of any group of repelling the muslim jihad and averting dhimitude to islam.

Now our obamatude-in-chief did recently host a lavish vegetarian dinner for the PM of India (who is a Sikh and wears a turban) but told the PM of Israel to take a hike to the nearest KFC and get himself a big daddy.

Go figure.

I guess turbans are cool but yamulkas (addopted from the Zoroastrians during the Babylonian captivity) aren't so cool.

well of course, I mean would you serve this guy if he walked into your restaurant?

Can you translate your post into anything intelligible??

I don't know what is worse... this action by KFC or the comments made afterwards in that article. :banghead2:

One cannot these days read most anything reported in the media without a healthy seasoning of and lecturing on the joys of liberal tolerance.

Orwell called that 'double-plusgood-duckspeak.'

Then there is the memory hole where so much disappears.

For instance I searched in vain this afternoon for a picture of a peta chicken suit protester in India but to no avail and that used to be the first thing up when entering a couple of key words.

The reason I was looking for that was to try to interject a little humor.

When the first KFC franchise opened in India peta was right on it with their fanatical anti-meat agenda, protesting the 'inhumane' treatment of chickens.

That effort ended rather abruptly when one of their protestors, dressed up as a big chicken was shoved into passing traffic by some passerby and run over by a passing automobile.

Good news was that the fake chicken wasn't killed but the hospital reported that he had a broken hot wing.

I wonder what they do in India....

Depends on what part of India you are in.

Rajahsthan:

I'm guessing those are mostly reincarnated democ-rats with a sampling of rino-rats.

I'll bet you get lonesome for bar-be-que pork where you are, want me to send you about five pounds the next time we bar-be-que a hog??

A weird thing to me that we continually in this country address with great tolerance the demands of islam, SA sends tens of millions of dollars or more each year into the USA to promote their religion (which is a legal/political system as well) but where you are it is strictly forbidden to have a Bible or a cross in your posession or to talk openly about Christianity.

One would think at sometime our government, in particularly the state department would address the issue of quid quo pro, wouldn't one??

Another current issue with India and confronting the islamic agenda.

Tensions have risen recently with the Obama administration, especially over concerns that Washington is favoring India's arch rival, Pakistan, in its war on terrorism. Among New Delhi's fears is that Washington is providing Pakistan with sophisticated weaponry that could one day be turned on India.
.......................................
Indian newspapers this week are filled with breathless headlines and editorials emphasizing the perceived slight by the United States.

some public schools have also completely removed all peanut products to cater to the handful of students with allergies. Does that upset you too? Some also offer special lunches for vegetarians or serve fish on fridays.

No because those are two completely different issues.

I gave you credit for having much more intelligence than to draw such an idiotic parallel, guess I was wrong.

You seem much more upset than I am btw.

Most school cafeterias offer students a choice of what they want to eat, veganism is also a non-issue and it is rather disinguous of you to even bring up.

Also, any idea why I can't buy liquor on Sundays in TN?

Since I don't believe in drinking taxed whiskey (unless someone else is buying) I don't care.

Bear in mind under sharia you won't be able to buy liquor legally on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday either.

More on that topic.

At the very least one must admit the demographics of the region have changed considerably on a fairy large scale (86 outlets) to warrant such a decission by some business owners. What does British immigration policy have to do with this??

Let's say the majority of the customers of those KFC franchises are native population and want the big daddy offered and decided to boycott KFC until it was back on the menu, do you think KFC might reverse their policy?? That's what I'm talking about, where do you draw the line and if you never draw that line then you end up in a never ending retreat from your own heritage and traditions.

Agreed?

Looking at it from a purely economic, capitalistic point of view, I would say that market is very open to goatburger franchises, after all the meat of choice in the world by islam is goat meat.

Regardless of why the demographics of the region changed, if KFC is reacting to the market and feels they will do more business with this change why should I care about it?

KFC has to decide which market to serve. If this choice offends so many customers that they lose money well then it was a bad decision

If there is a market for goat burgers then someone should open a franchise.

I don't see the problem with what they are doing if they think it's the best business decision.

OK, then we agree, but what do you think of immigartion policy, both in Britian and America?

For one think citizens of most European countries can get a visa to America without much consideration of their bakcground.

For instance count muhammed abdul von goatburger who may originally have been from outer slobovia but has an english passport can enter the US without much background information given simply because he holds a british passport.

And our current state department policy under obama and hitlary are bringing over palistinians by the trainload, regardless of whether they think all jews and christians are swine and should be annihilated asap or not.

I don't know if you like big daddys or not but what if the KFCs in Birmingham quit serving them for the same reasons.

Would you feel any differently then.

What if a mosque were built next door to your house and the call to prayer (most beautiful sound on earth according to barry soweto) were blared from loudspeakers of the minaret five times a day.

Would your opinion remain the same?

My opinion of an individual company's response to a changing marketplace would remain the same.

I doubt Birmingham is in any danger of the changes you suggest but if it did and bothered me enough then I would move.

In the meantime I'll use my vote to limit the changes.

Like you I agree with the choice of business owners to choose the products they offer, however in some areas of some of the liberal/socialist European governments, certain areas have been allowed to govern locally under islamic sharia law, in those areas the business owners no longer have a choice. The idea has also been advanced in Australia, Canada and the USA. Obama's representative to the IOC is on public record as stating that he thought the whole world should be ruled by sharia law.

Around fifteen years ago a friend's son was in Birmingham doing renovation work on some houses in a run down neighborhood, he was working inside with sawhorses set up on the front porch of one house with an extension cord run from the front room ouside.

While up on a ladder he was surprised to see his extension cord going out the door, he jumped down and ran outside to see some thief running up the street winding the cord up around his skill saw.

He gave the guy a good cussing and then the guy jumped in a car and they drove by and sprayed the front of the house with a couple dozen 9mm rounds.

He pulled up and came home saying if he ever went back to Birmingham he would take a swat team with him.

It doesn't take a genious to figure out what groups condone and encourge that type of behavior.

The sad part about the vote these days that somehow we, as a whole, allow the media to define the issues and tell us who to vote for. I don't think McVain would have been a much better choice for president and I'm very unimprtessed with who all the media is touting to be Barry's republican opponent in 2012.
