Lunch between French and Iranian presidents canceled: France refused request to serve halal food

The request for halal food is perfectly reasonable: if Hollande is going to invite Rouhani to lunch, he shouldn’t serve him food that his guest cannot eat for religious reasons. But the request that there be no wine on the table is inherently supremacist and absolutely unjustifiable. Rouhani would not be forced to drink wine, but that’s not enough: if he is not going to drink wine, then no one else can drink it either, including the non-Muslims present. This demand is in line with the old axiom: in Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to Muslim sensibilities. And in non-Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to Muslim sensibilities.

Lunch between French and Iranian presidents canceled: France refused request to serve halal food and no wine

Obama will call for sanctions against the French by sundown tonight.

[Mr. K]

OK, I would have to disagree with France on this one.

You should be polite to your invited guests.

And ONLY spit on their food when they are not looking

[gov_bean_ counter]

Let them eat cake... HA!

[tet68]

Snails aren’t Halal? Who knew?

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

Zut alors! Pas de vin? Sacre blue!

[gov_bean_ counter]

LOL!

[stephenjohnbanker]

France actually spoke out against the Iran deal way back when. But whe Germany and Britain sold us ou and joined Obama, they caved too.

[tet68]

I guess the slitting their throats and letting
them bleed out thing was just too tedious?

[Mercat]

Neither is rat or horse.

And ONLY spit on their food when they are not looking

Ah, Yes, the Jesse Jackson school of hospitality!

[gov_bean_ counter]

Must have been. One of life's little ironies...

[rockrr]

He said “muslim sensibilities”......

Bwahaaaahaaaahaaaaaa!

[tet68]

The snails I mean. Although...

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Ah, so we’ve finally found something that the French will not surrender on.

[Uncle Miltie]

Slitting throats is okay, but never deny a Frenchman his wine ....

[Norm Lenhart]

France was idiotic to invite a muslim to anything much less an Iranian, in the first place.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I assume that when French officials attend lunches hosted by Iranian officials, that wine is served to comply with French custom?

[tet68]

never deny a Frenchman his wine ....

Or a liberal his whine.

[Nifster]

Good for France...Who knew that the cheese eating surrender monkeys could have more backbone than Germany and the US put together
