German Cafes Stop Selling Pork Sausages to Spare Muslim Refugees&#x27; Feelings

Original post by joecphillips

And the bakery refused to sell a product

Well, no. It would have sold a cake. It refused to put a particular message on it. It refused a service, not a product.

People love using Muslims and ethnic minorities as scape goats for everything negative they hear about. Your post is spot on!

It's not exactly undue blame or scapegoating when the products were specifically being stopped for muslims.

Surely it's the choice of the shop owner/business owner what they do with their own cafe?

It's wrong but a good business decision. If they sell halal to the muslim refugees they'll make much more money considering how many of them are arriving daily.

tbh it would be a wonderful gesture if our cafés stopped selling bacon sarnies; it would show these people that they are welcome here.

Perhaps clothes shops could be persuaded to sell only long dresses, and to eliminate swimming costumes, clothes with short sleeves and short skirts. Off-licences and bars could switch to selling soft drinks and bitter coffee, while the law could be changed to allow Kalashnikovs to be sold to facilitate on-street celebration of birthdays by firing bullets into the air. The resulting small number of deaths and injuries would be a small price to pay to show how welcoming we are to the incomers, eh?

Why? Are you stuck in a time-warp in the second quarter of the twentieth century?

and of course our ISPs should immediately cease allowing people to view idle amusements and profanity.

OP is so retarded it hurts, businesses/caterers making a corporate decision to stop selling pork to secure contracts/sales in their areas which likely have a high proportion of muslims, excellent opportunity to make more profit (like halal subways,kfcs and nandos). But nah this is erosion of european values.

You appear to be trying to ignore the fact that the report says that the businesses themselves have said that they made their decision because of the Moslems.

How's this different to KFC and Subway using halal meat over here though?

A lot of you seem to forget that whether shops are entitled to do this, and whether we agree with their descision to do so, are very different things.

Nobody is saying shops should be forced to sell pork, but that it is a poor choice to do so. And as much you can hand wave that its capitalism, if cafes are doing this, it would suggest islam has more capital weight than its small population entails.

It isn't. I deplore such companies pandering to superstitious sensibilities, especially if they fail to offer the non-superstitious a proper, humane alternative when doing so. making halal meat the default or only option is a disgrace.

There are other possibilities. Those places could have been approached and threatened, for instance.

So long as I can still get my Eisbein and Currywurst I don't particularly care.

Maybe it is a purely business decision

I suppose what i meant is that they more apparent economic power than they should have. Which might come about from intimidation or fear.
