Ham? Don't Mention It!
Power Line ^ | December 21, 2010 | John Hinderaker

It sounds like parody, but (this story) from Spain is evidently true:

The parents of a Muslim boy who attends a secondary school in La Línea, Cádiz province, have reported their son's teacher for an incident in the boy's geography class which the child said caused him offence as a Muslim.

The teacher, José Reyes Fernández, with more than 20 years in the profession, was explaining to the class how the cold climate in Trevélez, Granada province, aided in the curing of the village's most famous local product, jamón serrano. The boy told his teacher that hearing the word 'ham' in class was offensive to him because of his religion and asked his geography teacher to stop referring to the product which caused him offence.

El Mundo newspaper reports that the boy's parents then reported the teacher to both the National Police and to the courts. They placed a denuncia against the teacher for psychological ill-treatment in the context of xenophobia and racism.

One assumes that the boy and his parents had help from the Spanish equivalent of CAIR in pushing his "xenophobia" complaint. It is a great illustration of the effort to create a little bubble of walking sharia around each Muslim that we also see in the U.S.

That “Pork: the other white meat” ad campaign must make their “peaceful” little heads explode.

But the HAM in Muhammad and Muhammadan is pronounced HOM!!!

Note that it is the Muhammadans who object to the mention of ham/jamon, while the Jews stay silent. That says it all!

As an Orthodox Christian who follows the New Calendar, I’m looking forward to the return of meat to my diet this Saturday. Yes, that will eventually include bacon and pork, including Pork and Sauerkraut on New Year’s Day. Take that, you muzzies!!!!

jamón serrano

Yummers. My wife and daughter brought some back with them from Spain last year. I hadn't had any for years.

Wilfull and deliberate insults hurled at Christianity by Islam believers are deeply objectionable. Christians must invoke a spiritual jihad against the adherents of Islam. This should include continuing prayers for the conversion of all Islamic believers including kneel-ins on the steps of Mosques. Coordinated missionary witness especially in countries where Christianity is opressed. Martyrdom and imprisonment are the most powerful weapons in the Christian arsenal.

They should try my own Octaham Recipe Recipe for the day "Blackened Ham on a Stick". You might want to try this tonight. 1. Buy an eight sided Farmer John canned ham (Octaham). 2. Place skillet on high heat until it is glowing red or until smoke alarms go off. 3. Remove ham from can keeping gelatin intact. 4. Place ham in skillet on one of the eight sides and fry until side black and gelatin has vaporized. 5. Rotate ham 22.5 degrees. Repeat until all facets are blackened and all gelatin is in the ionosphere. Caution: overcooking can harm the ozone. 6.Place ham on large stick. 7. Enjoy that ham!!

Sad what the Muslim Ku Klux Klan type of groups are doing to the world.

If the west offends you, Muslims, then do not go west.

The only reasonable response to jihad is Crusade.
