The UK is hopeless. They have caved to radical muslims.

Read the comments. There might still be some hope.

The way I see it if an eating establishment is going against your beliefs don't eat there. It's a simple concept really.

Me for instance can't stand Chedders Restaurant because it smells like stinky feet, thus now known as the Stinky Feet. Plus, it seems that the cooks really like salt as it is over salted. So I don't go there, Muslims should practice that too.

I wonder if camel bacon is any good

This is simply supply and demand. Want a BLT, go elsewhere.

I tend to agree, to an extent. It would be smart business move for Subway to make this change in neighborhoods that have a high demand for halal meet. Not all the Subway restaurants in the UK are doing this. If it was a blanket move throughout the entire UK, then, yeah, I would consider that going overboard.

I remember when the first Subway opened in Cork. That **** was so awesome. It was right by the park so us kids used to pack that place when we would get a half day from school.

Yep, I live in an area with a sizable Jewish population (at least for Atlanta standards),
the restaurants here have to offer alternatives to pork products or they would lose business.

In order not to lose business not because of Muslims demanding it.

Jews procure with dollars… Muslims tend to employ the dynamite vest.

Did this article say because Muslims were demanding or protesting? I read it as a reaction to what the local market wants. There's a big difference.

That's good, I would just HATE to offend a bunch of terrorist pieces of shiit. Guess I can know knock UK off my "Places to Live Because the U/S SUCKS Now" list.


Edit: knock

Oh. Ok... Good idea. Much like gay marriage. Want a gay wedding photographer, go elsewhere. Equality for all.

How many folks actually read the article? It's not ALL Subways in the UK doing this. It's 200 of them and I'd almost guarantee that they're located in very "ethnic" areas. This sounds a little more like Capitalism to me. Chances are they're losing money when they waste pork b/c nobody's buying it.

Ohhhhh, good one! Sometimes you just have to wait a little longer to throw it in their faces.

They still won't understand it. It's not shiny enough to pick up. I'll just get the "apples and oranges" retort... Lol

GLT Sub

Goat, Lettuce and Tomato sandwich

Hey, goat meat is delicious. Don't knock it.

Yep, smart business move by Subway. Last I read the Islamic market is over $50 billion in the UK these days. Not a bad idea to try and grab some of that market.
