The practice of political correctness may soon be tallying another casualty: the pig. Increasingly, as America and the rest of the Western world continue accommodating Muslim religious demands, pork food products are being singled out for removal from dining tables and pig-related trinkets banished from the desks of office workers.
If this continues, good ol’ American food, such as barbeque replete with hot dogs and ribs and the typical American breakfast of eggs, bacon and sausage, might be seen as the equivalent of political poison. Could outright censorship of pig depictions in drawings, pig references in literary works and pig portrayals in movies be far behind? Could the well-known, cartoon figure Porky Pig become a cultural embarrassment of our unenlightened past as we fear to utter the “P” word?...
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. ...

Man...in the last week I’ve had pork chops, bacon, a pork roast, two racks of pork back ribs, ground pork in a lasagna. Screw that.
Ah so they are going to use the oil money to buy up everything and make us sharia compliant via captialism. I guess just another nock in their quiver.
Oh, you mean real pigs. When I saw your headline I thought someone had finally gotten around to outlawing Rosie.
They’ll have to pry my bacon out of my cold, dead hands. . .
For all of you who live in Georgia, Alabama, or Florida, it is definitely worth the drive to Climax...

Anyone can have my pork related products and my pork, in all forms, when they pry it out of my cold, dead hands!!!!!!!!
I will say pork, pig and all related pig, pork words when and where I choose!!!!!!!!!
You-all can take that to the bank—so sayeth a Good Ole Boy from Alabama!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From my cold, barbecue-sauce-stained hands...
We had country ham biscuits this morning.
Unless we are willing to allow those who make such demands to drag us down to the level of their darkened awareness; we must get rid of the real "pigs" by removing these muzzies from the dining tables and offices. They are too uncivilized to be allowed roam and breed in a contemporary society. They must be returned to their natural habitat.
“Man...in the last week I’ve had pork chops, bacon, a pork roast, two racks of pork back ribs, ground pork in a lasagna. Screw that.”
I hear ya! Pass the bacon!!!
They can have my bacon when they pry it out of my warm, greasy fingers...
Now we need a cartoon with a pig body and a Mohommed face.
Now everything can taste like bacon.
I hate to even post this because I know that it is a conspiracy theory, but I can’t help think about it.
I have a friend who has raised pigs all her life. This week she just sent the last of her pigs to auction and quit. The pigs stopped reproducing and the last few litters died within a year of birth. She didn’t have the money to do an investigation, but a friend of hers who was having the same problem, did. The verdict was contaminated food.
Or vicey-versey?
Babe and Arnold the pig will be in the unemployment line.
If God had meant for us to not eat pig, he wouldn’t have made it so damn delicious. Same for beer.
Watch out for that fatone (or however it is spelled.)
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
PIG!!
SOOIE!!
RAZORBACKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All animals are equal. But some are more equal than others.
Serving bacon, scrapple, and sausage with every hot meal.
Pork Chops should be an option in EVERY restaurant!
And they can have my country style spare ribs when I'm pushin’ up daises.
I tell you what, I'd hate to “eradicate” a religion (or the people that practice it), but I'm seriously thinking it might be the only option.
Women have chocolate. Men have bacon.
Great cartoon. What would we do without Cox & Forkum?
And what would life be like without bacon?
I wonder if this is why it has become so hard to find canned ham, like Dak (danish) brand.
I’ve been stocking up, both on cost savings (with food prices going up) and in case of storm season related power outages. It tastes good, requires no cooking, and can sit there for 2 years if necessary.
Yet canned hams are harder to find, especially the Dak (danish) brand.
A.) the answer to this madness: http://www.peacethroughpork.com/
B.) I ain’t eatin’ at Church’s Chicken no mo.
HHHMMMMMMM....is any official doing more research into that? (Love your tag line.)
Sorry, the Muzzies aren’t taking away my bacon and pork chops.
Maybe it's only a Shi'i interpretation, but it was my understanding that it was only haram to buy the pork, but the act of selling it to a non-Muslim was okay. Not that it makes much difference, though, since how will they acquire the pork to sell in the first place?
I have been told by some that part of modern islamic
belief contains the notion that a Muslim cannot be
guaranteed a place in Paradise, even if living an obversant
life. The term is “em-shalah” or something that sounds like
that. It means, something like “if God wills”...
So why they would want to push a law on you (i.e. don’t
eat this, eat this other thing...) that cannot
guarantee entrance into paradise is beyond me...it sounds
like human insecurity, and frustration about having no
solid promise about the future.
Well, they'll have to scrape mine out of my arteries!
Is that Mo-HAM-med?
No, my friend has absolutely no faith in government and has done nothing about the problem. She just gave up.
;->
By the way, was it ever reported whether Obama had bacon with those pancakes? Just asking an innocent question.
It is just like boiling a frog, throw him in boiling water and he jumps out, but put him in a pot of comfortable temperature water then turn up the heat, and eventually the frog is cooked!
From where was the pig food? China?
That is interesting. Are they going to sue?
Here is a use for the pig that you’ve probably never heard of...
www.silverbulletgunoil.com
It’s made with 13% real PIG FAT. Navy SEAL teams use it. Some of our brave US Army troops in Iraq and Afghanistan use it. And...given the Koran’s strictures against pigs and pork in general (and the resulting banishment from Paradise for those who are ‘defiled’), this product (as I understand it) is FEARED by insurgents!
Developed by an American (not I) who wanted to give that extra-special psy-war advantage to our brave troops overseas.
American ingenuity at it’s finest!
Oh...and a good helping of bacon is wonderful anytime!
