SCHOOLS and canteens in Germany have BANNED pork from their menus over fears of offending Muslim migrants, a top politician has revealed.
An increasing number of public canteens, child daycare centres and schools have stopped serving sausages, bacon and ham over religious considerations.
Now members of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s CDU party are fighting to keep pork on the menu, insisting the consumption of pork is part of German culture.
Daniel Günther, party representative, claimed that pork products were being taken off the menu in schools, nurseries and canteens across the country.
He said: "The protection of minorities - including for religious reasons - must not mean that the majority is overruled in their free decision by ill-conceived consideration.
Mr Günther argued that tolerance also means "the appreciation and sufferance of other food cultures and lifestyles”.
He argued that those who didn’t want to eat pork didn’t have to, adding: ”The consumption of pork belongs to our culture.
“No one should be obliged to do so. But we also don't want the majority having to refrain from pork."
German sausages are part of the country’s culture. At Oktoberfest in Munich, the largest beer festival in the world - sausages are served alongside steins of beer.
The move is likely to cause tensions among residents who support the introduction of restrictions on the inflow of refugees to the country.
The German Government has come increasingly under fire for its open-door refugee policy.
The scale and nature of the crimes in Cologne has been a disastrous torpedo to the heart of Mrs Merkel's open-door refugee policy and her popularity.
Having initially been hailed for her leadership over the escalating crisis after offering sanctuary to nearly 1.1million refugees fleeing war and persecution in Syria, the German supremo now faces growing calls for stricter immigration rules.
This is beyond ridiculous.
Good Bye Germany!
Jaegerschnitzel was highly popular in the Stuttgart area, where I was assigned with the Air Force from ‘89-’92. I can’t imaging the Schwaebisch people acquiescing to that demand.
Of course, it HAS been a quarter-century since I was there... I suppose the Germans, like the rest of western Europe, have been sufficiently beaten down into submission.
You can usually find me on EGo’s Locker or Metro server
That’ll make Oktoberfest … interesting. What will they put the sauerkraut on? Halal dogs?
Germany richly deserves what the subhuman savages are going to do to it. They’re coming in by the millions. They are popping out little savages and savagettes with their 4 wives, and their free money from the Germans. It won’t be long before there are far more big savages and savagettes than they counted on, then it’s bow down in submission, you Germans! Meet your masters who you welcomed in with open arms.
The Wienerschnitzel is not pork. Schnitzel is a cut of meet, and Wiener is a style named after Vienna. It is literally a Vienna cut of meat. The meat used is veal, which is a young bovine, not a pig. The name of the hot dog fast food restaurant is a misuse.
This is the wurst thing that they could do.
The “refugees” invade and the locals are expected to conform to THEIR culture. This is another step closer to total sharia law (and I fail to see the humor in this particular article. This is heading OUR WAY, and if you’re expecting someone to actually stand up and PROTEST, please don’t hold your breath while you wait).
Obama bans hamburgers in the US because the word “ham” is part of the word hamburger and it might offend a terrorist.
Oh, No! They can’t ban the Nuremberg sausages! They’re classic, made fresh every day....Yummy!
The stupidity that spawns from socialism is beyond understanding. If I had the misfortune to live in the socialist shit hole called Germany, I would be mad as hell!
Schools?
Looks like most of those jihadees are past school age to me.
It’s chicken fried steak, not to put too fine a point on it.
When did the Krauts become such wimps? Pathetic.
Next, Deutschland will ban Germans.
I almost can’t believe that this is really happening. I was there last July and pork was almost omnipresent. Between the sausage, bacon and schnitzel I don’t think there was a day I didn’t consume it at least twice. It was heaven.
Yeah, by chopping off a few heads and raping a few women !!
