Halal supermarket ordered to sell pork, alcohol or face closure

[MarkusS]

Dont know whats the fuss about. In Italy we have laws that banned "oriental retaurants ectt) out of our cities becazse the smell is disgusting and against italian culture and values.

We are at war and i believe evry concession weakens our stance.

Religious crackdowns have always failed so why should this one succeed?

Silly law to appease the ignorant masses will leave everyone worse off.

you are wrong. Religious crack downs were always sucessful in europe.

How many muslims were left in spain after Isabella finished the Reconquista?

When we italians recaptured Sicily, not one muslim was left alive.

I think you dont see whats going on around you. A certain group of people overplayed their cards.

The majority of europeans dont want any tolerance towards this specific group of people.

The best you can expect is total banning of this specific group + mass deportations. In worst case we will see another massive ethnic cleansing.

This is not the same.

Forcing Muslims to sell Pork when it is completely against their religious beliefs is not a crackdown on extremism
but has the state now acting in the role of the extremist.

Those in power think they will not suffer the consequences but the ignorant masses are too stupid to realise
that they will pay the price for this stupidity.

They are not forced to sell pork.
This is a limit for this location, which is quite clear from the OP,
so they can move to a different location where a Halal store is acceptable.
It is quite common that city planners make detailed plans for certain areas/locations.
You would not be allowed to open a store selling only cheese as well.

Your last comment indicates that Muslims are violent when crossed.
Do You stand by that statement?

Trump Trump Trump.

No one really support him here.

Actually i see the key in "general food" as in all kind of food not specific religious food items.

Yes, the "and" forces the store to sell general food.
If the contract said "or", it could be argued that a Halal store was OK.

you wont find that here. god help france. because if they aint helping them selfs who is?
mind you the mayor of london wont do anything dumb like that since hes more easy going and liberal and secondly hes muslim too. i see a lot of shop selling pork and halal chicken but you find the larger supermarkets doing it though like tescos and asda

So when this will be imposed on Jews then?

It already has been "imposed" on them.

Translation: Do what muslims want or there will be violence.

I choose violence.

its not even that, its a matter of need really, france is losing its touch only rural areas of france are nice the cities are getting crap. now theres violence there trying to solve it the wrong way, and it will backfire.

Dude this is a serious conversation here so
let us deal with logic rather than fantasy here.

What about Kosher butchers, have the same demands been made for them to sell Pork?

 

[livingdead]

Imagine if a vegetarian shop was asked to serve meat!

These stupid French have no idea of mutual co-existence.

apparently the french have soviet style licensing policy.. if you want to be halal butcher you need to take 'special religious' license.. the dude tried to circumvent the system by taking supermarket license and got caught.

So there's no major issue. Get the proper licence and carry on.

If people have an aversion to alcohol then why go to France of all places.

you need to apply for it, the authorities will study and based on location will give permit.. both halal and kosher come under special religious license... also it seems weird that they decide how many supermarket, barber shop, bakery a village needs.. instead of relying on good old capitalism... I read it on reddit, not sure how true.
