'smell of frying bacon offends Muslims'

Well there you go....Brits are afraid of Muslims. A surrender nation.

hard-working cafe owner has been ordered to tear down an extractor fan - because the smell of her frying bacon 'offends' Muslims. Planning bosses acted against Beverley Akciecek, 49, after being told her next-door neighbour's Muslim friends had felt 'physically sick' due to the 'foul odour'.

I don't know about you, but bacon frying is a pleasant, no great smell, to me. Jews aren't great on pork either, but you don't hear them complaining about others cooking pork.

That's a different story. Post it as a thread and watch the s$#8t hit the fan.

That woman in the green dress doesn't look like she has anything against pork.

OK first it is the dailymail which makes the reporting suspect, ie, how much have they taken it out of context. Second it sounds like a grumpy old git of a neighbour who is using a spurious reason knowing it might get him sympathy.

It is a storm in a teacup and not a sign of how things really are in the UK.

No, it is more than likely embellished beyond belief.

Ahh is that the smell of bacon? or is it the stench of 'selective' horse manure.

pure tabloid gold !!!

If it was any one else complaining about the smell of any other type of food it wouldnt even be a story!
There must be thousand of cases where residents have complained about the smells from extractor fans from cafes and takeaways, hell I used to live next door to a chinese and my flat mate complained about the stench to the council - why didnt he end up in the papers I wonder?

Also British people complain about the noise from local pubs all the time, though I bet if a muslim complained about that - we'd have to accuse him of enforcing the islamic law which forbids alchahol consumption!

Thankfully most people arent stupid enough to take this kind of thing seriously,
But of course there will be a select few unable to join up the dots, who cry:

"Ohh look everyone, the evil muslims took away our freedom to cook bacon... Jews would would never do this" (or perhaps they would, but the media just woudn't treat it as news worthy since we are not at war with the Jews )

They call that news? its ****ing pathetic.

P.S I'll also remind The Third man that Britian supported the U.S in both Iraq and Afgahnistan where we lost and continue to loose many of our troops.
-and you call us a 'surrender nation afraid of Muslims'.... Very Nice, why dont you fly over here and say that to the millions of brits who backed you in the war on terror over the last decade.

Dont you know that The Jews own the media and the bacon.
We just let you eat it to piss of mulims as we sit back and laugh our asses off.

LOL yeah but the Jews pretty much own everything, you guys have done well for your selves I guess

Oh wow it just gets better, if you read the full artical, it turns out the cafe owner them selves are Turkish Muslim and person complaining is actually a non-muslim (complaining that the smell offends his muslim friends.) WTF?
Talk about 'twisting things around'.

The Daily mail basically went - Woopee! lets turn this trivial matter in to Ground zero mosque the sequel, who knows, maybe the English defense league will be dumb enough to organise a pro-bacon rally! What a hoot !

Sorry is anyone actually taking any of this seriously?

I believe there may have been a very short period of "taking it seriously" before someone said the magic word ("BACON!"), after which the rest of the thread turned into a discussion of the participants' eating habits and pork product preferences.
