Muslim care home owner “bans pensioners from eating bacon sandwiches”, says the headline.
The story tells us:
A Muslim care home owner has been branded “a disgrace” after banning his pensioner residents from eating bacon.
The 40 pensioners – none of them Muslim – were shocked when all pork products were cut off the menu by owner Dr Zulfikar Ali Khan.
He stopped deliveries from the butcher who supplied the home for years and instead ordered halal-meat only from another firm.
Bacon sarnies are a favourite at the home, and this chap, according to the Mail, didn’t even consult the residents.
Now he may have an objection to having dead pig on his plate, and no one’s asking him to eat it. But, if his job involves handling it and he wishes not to, he’s in the wrong job. However, he says the residents are now able to have whatever meat they want.
If he did refuse to serve them the meat they wanted, then he is a disgrace.
One unnamed member of staff said it was quite wrong for him to impose his cultural and religious beliefs on others. Not only is it a question of not allowing pork, it seems, but insisting that other meats be halal only – in other words, killed cruelly to satisfy religious whims, and allowed to be so by our supine government, which makes exceptions for Muslims in its rules on animal slaughter.
If this chap has changed his ways, then fine. But it’s time this sort of behaviour was stamped on.

The UK has already rolled over on this issue. I believe that sharia law has been imposed over largely Islamic areas meaning that British women who happen to live in the area have lost their rights as citizens. What is worse is the intimidation without punishment of the Jewish population in the UK. The rate of anti-Semitism is high, and it's oozing out of the Islamic community through a conciliatory press to the general population. It is a SHAMEFUL thing.
"Old folks" should be allowed to eat what they wish. Sheesh!
When my father was in his 80s, his cholesterol count went up a bit. I asked the family doc, "Should I change Dad's diet? He eats sausage and eggs all the time."
Response from the doc: "At your father's age, let him eat whatever he wants."
Always On Watch,
Yes but you think like that, largely because you are not a religious fanatic, whose religion has an extreme aversion to certain foods. I'm not make excuses for Dr Zulfikar Ali Khan, I'm just explaining his thinking.
Forcing one's own religious faith onto someone else is anathema to me.
Always On Watch,
Forcing one's religious beliefs is anathema to me as well. Like I said, I'm not making excuses for him.
