You are perfectly free to do just that. You just don’t get to call the shots on when I do mine.
Yes, but why?
After rereading the story, I do think that is the case. No Church’s Chicken for me!
I wonder how much moola he milked from us for his jihadist toys before they cut him loose? If there’s going to be a sharia advisory board it shouldn’t be staffed by “sharia scholars,” it should be staffed by counter-terrorism experts who specialize in dealing with sharia-lovers. Duh.
You have to be joking...
If you're not, there are plenty of resources out there that you should quickly get your hands on.
I suggest "The politically incorrect guide to Islam" as a starter.
"Answering Islam" for another.
And, maybe if you can find a reference to "Allah" in our founding documents, your question wouldn't be as laughable.

Thanks for the idea. When you are down here go to eight street and find a place called SARUSSI. They make the best and most unique sandwich in MIA!
Funny, I see that they are going to turn the one in Lodi into a McDonalds. I wonder why, if they don't own them anymore.
I can see the argument going to court easily. The claim will be that the denial is religion based. Don’t know where it would go, but I am surprised someone hasn’t put an oar in that water yet.
CFA is still privately owned so far, which is likely why the challenge has not happened.
CFA’s claim will be that the policy is based on a day of rest for all employees and the idea that if you can’t make a profit in 6 days a week, you aren’t running the business very well.
I’d like to see where the arguments would end up in such a lawsuit.
IMO, the policy is clearly religion based, with a good cover.
Overall though, I think a private business is a private business and they can have such rules if they wish.
I’m trying to picture any food service that would go under in an airport. You basically have a captive clientele, who are going to eat whatever they can find there. I’ve been at BWI and Philly many times and no matter what food is being sold - pretzels, Dippin’ Dots, cinnamon buns, hot dogs, premade subs - there are people buying it. It always appears to me that people scan the menu board and choose from whatever is there. So no pork or ham? They’ll take a chicken sandwich. I just can’t imagine they had no business at BWI because of a lack of pork.
Well folks! No more Churches Chicken for me. From now on it’s Popeye’s or KFC.
As do I, but the leftist ACLU (anti-american criminal lawyers' union) would be all over a company that implemented Christian values that "harmed" someone.
I’m not trying to. Seems like some here are a projecting their own religious insecurities.
KFC is being courted to offer halal meals .......
Who knows what Pepsico will do.
******************************************
Pepsico spun off Taco Bell/KFC/Pizza Hut years and years ago , they are now “YUM brands”.
I don’t think Pizza Hut would do so well with “turkey” pepperoni and sausage on their pies.
btt
Sounds like they bought the corporation and all corporate-owned restaurant locations. No doubt the agreements with franchisees gave the corporation sufficient oversight regarding menu items that the "Halal" provisions could now be enforced by the owners.
I'll bet the company name was the first thing that drew the Isamic bank's attention... another bunch of "churches", about to go up in flames.
Side note: Most Church's locations in my area seem to be co-located with gas station convenience stores. Figures...
Well they were owned by McDonalds at the time so I doubt it has anything to do with Shariah. My guess would be not popular enough for the cost, because of the dangers of under cooking pork is actually pretty expensive to have on a menu. They probably wanted to focus the menu a little more too, BM was really all over the place with no focus, that makes it hard to grow the market, jettisoning less popular foods and concentrating on the big few (the rotisserie chicken and the meat loaf) is a good fix for that.
Funny they have a different name in raghead land.
I don't see any pork products anywhere on their website, but I suspect this business failing had more to do with their expensive lease agreement at the airport. I like Fried Chicken, but I certainly wouldnt eat any prior to getting on a long flight.
Plus there is the "airport premium" which would add two bucks to any meal.
Here is where to get good, flavorful, healthy chicken cuisine:

If you want pork, too—try this one:

If there are none in your area, take my word for it—the food is great in both places.
” I just can’t imagine they had no business at BWI because of a lack of pork.”
It killed their most lucrative business time. Breakfast.
No bacon and eggs? No sausage and eggs?
Only eggs and a chicken thigh?
