KFC diner told 'you can't have bacon in your burger here - we're now halal'
Daily Mail ^ | 3/25/10 | Katherine Faulkner

A diner was left fuming after a KFC restaurant took his favourite meal off the menu because it breached their new halal regulations.

Alan Phillips was told he would have to travel five miles to another branch if he wanted the Big Daddy, a chicken burger, topped with bacon, cheese and salad.

The branch, in Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire, is one of 86 KFC restaurants which is running trials of a scheme where they sell nothing other than halal meat.

The company has taken the burger off the menu because Islamic dietary law forbids Muslims to eat anything which has been prepared on the same premises as pork, which is itself strictly forbidden.

It’s ok though, you can have fried infidel belly as long
as it’s prepared in a halal manner, throat slit, bled out
etc.

Unbelievable. Col. Sanders is probably turning over in his grave so fast his headstone is bouncing.

Islam...The Faith of Hate and the Cult of Insanity

Lets see KFC put one of those IslamoFascist “halal” KFCs in the middle of the US south.

86 restaurants? They’re really overrun. Amazing that we’ve had Jews around us forever, but I don’t recall entire chains changing up for them. Any Saudi link to KFC? If so, maybe I’ll get my chicken elsewhere.

I don’t know about now, but years ago when I worked at KFC (in high school, so it’s been a LOOOOOONG time ago) we made excellent burgers. They were much better than the other fast food burgers.

“the same premises”

Big Daddy? Maybe they were trying to save him from a heart attack.

Shame on KFC for putting up with this crap.
I recently ate at a halal Thai restaurant, and the food really sucked. I should have asked them for a Hebrew National hot dog.

No pork in that either. And I don’t think any pork is prepared on the same premises as the “dogs”. And that’s the only kind I’ll buy.

The mussies are taking over, folks. Hell, there’s one in the WH. What can we expect considering a lot of people voted for him knowing he is mussie.

Heck just a regular seeing eye dog will cause them to lose a screw in their heads.

This happens in my neighborhood. I start bringing in a pocket full of bacon bits. Who knows, my pocket might have a little hole in the corner.
