I'm not. I am merely pointing out that this whole discussion about Muslims probably wouldn't have happened if facts were looked up first. I was mainly pointing at Ranshiin when I said that because his previous post was about how this "bacongate" incident "proves" how "[Muslims are] all quite happy to stuff their laws and religion down our throats but won't accept ours."
In the end, Subway wasn't forced to do anything by anybody, so this "proves" nothing about Muslims or anybody.
I don't trust any single source; hence why I always look things up first. Two separate sources linking to one source that already has a slant is immediately suspicious.
I am aware that it is. Profitability versus protest is precisely what lead Subway to start their halal program in the first place. There is a large Muslim population in the neighborhood. They don't want to eat at that restaurant because it serves pork and non-halal meats. Restaurant loses money. Restaurant switches to halal meats to gain new customers. The issue is...what now?
As I pointed out earlier, the racist parts were coming from Ranshiin's previous post. It wasn't about the changes in culture but jabs at an entire people, which, ya know, is quite racist, justified or not. A culture might be growing around you, but if businesses decide to cater to the new culture while turning away from other people in order to make a shilling, then you can blame good old fashioned capitalism for that.
And again, the only insinuation being made here, from The Daily Mail and from the name of the thread itself (I never said that there was anything more), is that this is in anyway new, that this is a sudden decision born out of the ether when it is not or that this is happening at all Subways when it is not. This has been going on for over half a decade so either people haven't caught on or there is something going on that warrants attention.
But on its own, this is nothing that should really matter to anybody. It is 13% of Subways where you can't a Meatball Marinara sub...well, one made of pork. Is this the start of a cultural revolution? Where our meatballs are made of turkey? EGADS!!
