Obama Bans Pork: Who Knew There Were So Many Muslims in Prison?
Posted 47 mins ago by Gary DeMar Filed under Islam

It's weirder and weirder. President has had more to say about not offending Muslims in prison than he has about Christians who were targeted by the Oregon murderer.

"The federal Bureau of Prisons, a subdivision of President Barack Obama's Justice Department, has banished all pork products from the menus in all federal prisons, according to a report in the Washington Post."

This is all about accommodating Muslims who do not eat pork. Why wasn't this done to accommodate Jews who also oppose eating pork? Could it be that not many Jews are in prison?

Maybe Obama opposes eating pork because it has been advertised as "The Other White Meat."

"The government says it made the decision to do this because a survey showed that inmates do not like eating pork products."

What inmates? I would like to see the survey. What about prisoners that are on low-carb diets?

"The Council on American-Islamic Relations said 'we welcome' the move by the government to deny pork to prisoners, but warned that it might spark 'Islamophobia.'”

Do you think? We're talking about prisons where prisoners don't like the idea of one group being favored over another. People have been killed for less.

Here are excerpts from the report by the Post:

“The nation’s pork producers are in an uproar after the federal government abruptly removed bacon, pork chops, pork links, ham and all other pig products from the national menu for 206,000 federal inmates.

“The ban started with the new fiscal year last week.

“The Bureau of Prisons, which is responsible for running 122 federal penitentiaries and feeding their inmates three meals a day, said the decision was based on a survey of prisoners’ food preferences:

“They just don’t like the taste of pork….

“The National Pork Producers Council isn’t buying it. 'I find it hard to believe that a survey would have found a majority of any population saying, ‘No thanks, I don’t want any bacon,'” said Dave Warner, a spokesman for the Washington-based trade association, which represents the nation’s hog farmers.

What's next, grocery stores are going to be required to remove all pork products because Muslim "refugees" might be offended? Will Facebook have to ban all memes about bacon?

Any advice or suggestions on how i should prepare 'em?

Leave it to Slacker's twisted 'news' sources. :roll:

The Bureau of Prisons, which is responsible for running 122 federal penitentiaries and feeding their inmates three meals a day, said the decision was based on a survey of prisoners’ food preferences:

They just don’t like the taste of pork.

“Why keep pushing food that people don’t want to eat?” asked Edmond Ross, a spokesman for the prison bureau. “Pork has been the lowest-rated food by inmates for several years,” It also apparently got more expensive for the government to buy, although he did not provide specifics.

From this article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fe ... l-prisons/

The decision had nothing to do with Obama at all.

Thank God! My little piggy is safe as long as I have a GUN to protect him from the government prison system coming to confiscate him to feed criminals...

He's so smart... I told him about this and he started squealing with joy... Then I told him the initiative came from a bunch of really stupid liberals... He just walked away grunting... Stupidity all around.
