Exactly, and like I said the vast majority after centuries and even millenia still haven't wised up to it, and they say Muslims are brain washed. Mankind is doomed.

If this is a case of divide and conquer as some have said. And if it is very successful as some have said ,and what has made this country powerful . Then surely it needs us said idiots to be successful. God help us if we do wise up as suggested and smell the coffee because the country will surely just crumble. Thank god the intellectual only live on mountains.

I resent being called an intellectual. They are the biggest bunch of brain washed idiots on the planet.

As for the mountain, i'm in good company, Buddah, Moses, Mohamed and my personal fave Grizzly Adams.

Success is a matter of perception, but unfortunately it's generally measured by monetary wealth when in fact it should be based upon levels of awareness and understanding as it was in the time before time began.

It's commonly know as a distraction technique, which is working quite well judging by some of the responses on this thread. Dear god it's no wonder they let the education system slip into disarray as it helps to turn out more un-educated **** wits to follow and perpetuate this kind of drivel. What really disappoints me is this kind of stuff has been done over and over and over throughout history and people still don't get it. See why I live on a mountain in the middle of nowhere.
So this story isn't true? Do you have any facts to back this up.
Also could you provide more detailed information on what we are being distracted from?

Some 185 of the estimated 1,700 Subway stores in Great Britain and Ireland have eliminated ham and bacon from their menus in response to requests from Muslim consumers.

The world's largest sandwich chain said in a statement that after strong interest from its Muslim customers, these locations
have introduced "halal meat" as a replacement, which is prepared under strict Islamic rules.

As Subway has spread geographically across diverse populations, back in 2007 the chain put in place a program "to ensure that the population demographic is taken into account when new story openings are considered," the company said, in a statement.

There are currently no plans for stores serving halal meat in the U.S. market, a spokesperson says.

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, displayed in the participating restaurants. The signs are on menu panels, nutritional information panels and front windows of the store.

Special meats made with non-pork products -- such as turkey ham -- are being sold instead.

Under Islamic law, pork is forbidden and while other meat can be eaten, it must be sourced, slaughtered and processed according to very strict rules.

Subway said all halal meat served in its branches has come from animals that were stunned before being slaughtered.
Have they stopped no-Halal meat eaters going in? No.

How many Jewish resturants get atrticles written like this? None.

Could you go to another non-Halal Subway? Yes.

They havent banned anything

Its purely about making money, in an asian/muslim area the person I know CHOSE to sell halal, for financial gain.

Its up to him what he sells in his shop! How clearer can that get!!

And I asked him about this so called demand from muslims, his respone again was he didnt even speak to a single muslim before opening up and didnt go round asking for their opinions either!

According to the article you posted, 185 out of 1700 sell halal, big effin deal!

The hypocrisy on this thread is just stunning.

If you (and the other 'outraged') were really opposed to animal cruelty you wouldn't eat any meat at all!

He doesn't give a **** about animal cruelty. It reminds me of all the fuss that Denmark made about banning the halal slaughter method. They promoted themselves as champions of animal welfare.
The same Denmark that slaughtered and fed a baby giraffe to the lions while kids watched. The same Denmark that allows animal brothels to operate legally.

Thats the thing, the guy that owns it couldnt care less if its halal or not, its about making money for him, said it was glaringly obvious to make this particular shop a halal one.

Always customers in there, 2/3rds asian/muslim, 1/3rd white.

What do you think it is?! Need I draw a picture.

Laws in both Denmark and Norway are fairly open when it comes to a person’s legal right to engage in sexual activity with an animal. The law states that doing so is perfectly legal, so long as the animal involved does not suffer.

On the internet, several Danish animal owners openly advertise their services. The newspaper contacted several such individuals and was told that many of the animals have been engaged in this kind of activity for several years and that the animals crave the sexual stimulation.

Since Danish laws are so similar to Norwegian laws, the animal bordello phenomenon has led many to question if such a practice could be legal in Norway as well.

It is in the nature of the case that animals will often be victims of injury, stress or suffering in connection with sexual acts with humans. Either that they are held fast, or frightened, or suffer pain or physical injury. Many dogs die after being repeatedly raped and abused!

Norway is currently reviewing its Animal Protection Act and several groups, including the Norwegian Animal Welfare Alliance, have proposed making amendments which forbid sexual intercourse with animals.

One of the owners of an animal bordello in Denmark said that many of his clients come from abroad and travel some distance for his services. “But the clients tell us that it is much simpler to buy animal sex in Denmark than in their own country,” the owner said, explaining that many of his clients come from Norway, Sweden, Holland and Germany.
