Unfortunately,that might not be enough. On one of my trips to Istanbul, I stayed at a hotel that daily served bacon on the breakfast buffet. I didn't see anyone turning it down or creating a fuss.
On that, I do not know. All I know is the perception of the taboo-ness of it. If he were forced to eat a piece of bacon on TV - live, mind you - then I’d be happy because he had to do something he didn’t want to just to show he isn’t a Muslim and to get the votes he wanted.... even then, I still wouldn’t believe him.
