Biz Owner harrassed by Moslems re Pork Smell
A hard-working cafe owner has been ordered to tear down an extractor fan - because the smell of her frying bacon 'offends' Muslims.
A right to not be offended is incompatible with liberty and a free society. | 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'.
Note that the problem isn't actual neighbors, but visitors from outside. | Mrs Akciecek and her husband Cetin, 50, - himself a Turkish Muslim - work more than 50 hours a week buying, preparing and cooking hot and cold sandwiches and hot-pots for their customers.
Today mother-of-seven Mrs Akciecek said she plans to appeal against the decision. She said: 'I just think it's crazy. Cetin's friends actually visit the shop, they're regular visitors, they're Muslim people, they come in a couple of times a week.
'I have Muslim people come in for cheese toasties. Cetin cooks the food himself, he cooks the bacon.'
They're the moderate ones. The complaining friends of the non-Muslim neighbors are skinless people in a sandpaper world. One would think the non-Muslim neighbors would be mortified at their cheek. |
