| Paris police Ban Liquor And Pork Party In Muslim Area |
| 2010-06-15 |
| French police are banning a street party whose organizers planned to serve alcohol and pork-based sausage in a heavily Muslim Paris neighborhood. Police said Tuesday that the party, called "Sausage and booze," was banned because it could have been viewed as a provocation in the Goutte-d'Or neighborhood of northern Paris, where Muslims pray on the streets on Fridays because there are not enough mosques. Alcohol and pork are banned in Islam. Organizers said they were organizing Friday's party to protest Islam's encroachment on traditional French values in the neighborhood. The party was backed by several extreme-right associations. Muslim groups had announced a counterparty serving halal food. |

| #5 The War of Ethnic Cuisine begins! I'm claiming neutrality with the expressed intention of partaking in halal food, followed up by sausage and wine. Sounds so good right now. |

| #4 This is a twofer. The Brits had their own scrape with Muslims protesting returning troops. It's on Drudge. |

| #2 Maybe the French would not mind if the Muslims claimed half of Paris as their local capital. |

| #1 French police are banning a street party whose organizers planned to serve alcohol and pork-based sausage in a heavily Muslim Paris neighborhood. Looks like the French have ceded parts of Paris to the Muslims. Sharia law to be implemented soon! |
