In a move that endangers a major sector of German agriculture, there is an effort to ban pork sausages from public cafeterias in schools, hospitals, nurseries, and elsewhere. Judged as a portion of tax revenue, pork agriculture accounts for nearly a fifth of the local economy in Germany’s Schleswig-Holstein region. Pork sausages are at the very heart of Germany’s traditional cuisine. Yet the decisions have been made in many parts of Germany to simply remove pork from public life.
There is some opposition to the move to strip pork sausages from Germany.
“The protection of minorities – including for religious reasons – must not mean that the majority is overruled in their free decision by ill-conceived consideration,” said [parliamentarian Daniel] Guenther, as quoted by Deutsche Welle, arguing that tolerance must mean “the appreciation and sufferance of other food cultures and lifestyles.”
In the face of similar pressures, a city in Denmark recently passed a law that mandated pork be on the menu in public spaces. The Danish government says that this is to protect its traditional culture, including its food culture. Muslim advocates say that it is to try to limit Islamic immigration to the city by creating a hostile environment.
The moves to get pork removed from the menus of public cafeterias are either a case of self-censorship by Germans, or a case of civilizational jihad. If they are self-censorship by German institutions, they may still be motivated by advice from branches of the Muslim Brotherhood received at the highest levels of the German government. In either case, the move serves the purposes of civilization jihad: it prepares the German people to submit to Islam. They are becoming conditioned to living under sharia law — in this case, to accepting the absence of pork from their menus, even though it means disposing of aspects of their traditional culture that they may quite value.
For some reason, no one describes this as “creating a hostile environment” for Germans or Danes. When someone moves to create a public space in which core expressions of your traditional culture are banned as offensive, that someone has engaged in a hostile act. If a Western government were to go to an Islamic country and ban some traditional aspect of the culture, we would describe it as “imperialism” or — for those most committed to the idea that this is wrongful behavior — “cultural genocide.”
For some reason, when our own government does it to us, we accept it as justice. Must our traditional cultures be dissolved to make way for Islam?
Some have demanded that also.
They’ll have to pry my BRATWURST from my cold dead fingers!
muslim advocates are welcome in my town....welcome to **** ***!
LOL
Works for me.
This is from The Onion right?
Please weigh in. After your pork sausage dinner of course :)
First thing I thought. Jewish people do not eat pork. Why were they never a consideration anywhere in the past?
Oh, I know. Because they’ll just not eat pork and keep quiet about it. They won’t cut your head off.
I’m in the mood for a sizzling bacon wrapped pizza! God Bless America!
Dhimmi dhummies.
Bier und schnaps.
No more german alcohol.
I know I’ve been glad to have pork over the past year or so, everything else got so expensive. Beef’s coming back down now, which is good because I need a break, lol. There’s only so many ways to prepare pork.
In my town, Muslim advocates are welcome to *** ****. :)
And I know a Jewish guy that smokes The Best baby backs I’ve ever had. He loves bacon too.
I guess he’s like a lapsed Catholic, only Jewish.
I guess the sausage, Canadian bacon, and pepperoni on the pizza goes out the window?
Pretty much.
Well like Obama said we have to get off our high horse because of guilt over the crusades. Europe is on the road to submitting to Islam. America may well follow that path eventually.
I know - beef has been through the roof. Steak is a treat now, and we used to have it somewhat regularly, especially in the summer.
Jews didn’t blow up things and slit throats.
