Jailed Muslims angry over pork on menu
2004-08-21
Seems the Hook likes cow better
British prison officials have issued a written apology to suspected Muslim terrorist Abu Hamza and others for offering pork as a prison dinner, The Sun reports. Prison governor Geoff Hughes sent a letter of apology to all inmates, saying the mistake should never have happened. Spicy pork chops were described as suitable for Halal diets. Clearly that is nonsense, he wrote.

A prison worker told the newspaper Hamza was livid the Muslim dietary code was ignored. The Muslims saw it as some sort of planned insult to their religion but that's crazy. It was just a mistake, he said. Hughes ordered pork be removed entirely from the prison's meal offerings. Hamza is in London's high-security Belmarsh jail, fighting extradition to the United States to face terror charges.

#13  OK - it's time to take meat, fish and eggs off the menu to cater to Buddhists and Hindus.

#12  Well, he could just skip the meal that has pork--BUT NO! The LLL and those influenced by them are all to happy to bend over and take it up the wazoo, in order to submit to Islam. "And what else can we get for you, Mr. Terrorist, Sir?"

#7  A written apology to Stumpy---that is a scream! Why doesn't the warden and Stumpy just trade places? Who is running the show here?

Pork---it's what for dinner. If Stumpy does not like it, offer the Mad Cow special. Stumpy shuts his gob and eats or dies.

#6  If you don't like it, don't eat it. I'm sure there are lots of meals that go uneaten because Chipped beef on toast is nasty. Toughin up Captain Hook you whinner.

#5  Hey, I worked on many a tray line. You can bet the folks in the kitchen will be spooning the pork brown gravy over his mashed potatoes as his menu comes down the line.

#4  Taking bacon/ham/sausage away for breakfast?

If there are any Rednecks in that prison, they'll sue the bejeezers out of this guy.

As for Hamza, let me visit him - I'll tkae a couple strips of bacon and a copy of the Koran: tear a couple pages out, rub the bacon on them then eat them - and watch they guy go into a rabid frenzy as I tell him I will be excreting the Quran in it s true for in about 8 hours.

To be substituted in all places with blutwurst.

Penalize everyone because Capt Hook doesn't like the other white meat.

#1  In the name of Allan I issue this fatwa. Pork from now on is halal. Especially the dry rub BBQ pork ribs from Corkys in Memphis.
Allan be praised.
