Bringing home the bacon-controversy explanation, Saint Paul writter takes his paper to task
Those of you who live in Minnesota have probably listened at one time or another to Joe Soucheray's "Garage Logic" AM 1500 drive time radio show. While not very well read on WOT he does at time hit the mark.My very own newspaper is asking for feedback regarding the refusal by certain Muslim cashiers to handle pork. This latest development, coupled with the problem of certain Muslim cabdrivers at the airport refusing to take passengers who have alcohol, was apparently too much for the newspaper to understand. As an institution, we must have gotten into a room and scratched our heads. In asking for help, the newspaper printed an anonymous e-mail from a reader, a cruel and thoughtless e-mail that featured the word "savages," which suggested to me that the newspaper not only doesn't understand the depth of the controversy but presumes it to be just another "talk radio" conversation held by the Greek chorus of the great unwashed. That's the impression I got. The newspaper I don't know who feedback@pioneer press.com is seems to take a not very thinly veiled position that here again is a poor minority immigrant community victimized by an unfeeling majority and why don't you all tell us about it and maybe we can help enlighten you.
