Biz Owner harrassed by Moslems re Pork Smell
2010-10-22
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.

#9  They could buy Silver Bullet Gun Oil

SILVER BULLET GUN OIL CONTAINS 13% USDA LIQUEFIED PIG FAT. The PIG FAT is mixed with our blended, hi-grade WEAPONS OIL designed for use in ALL FIREARMS. The oil is applied to the inside of the barrel of any firearm or weapons
system. When fired, BULLETS are coated with SILVER BULLET GUN OIL containing the PIG FAT.
The PIG FAT is transferred to anything the BULLETS STRIKE. The coating of OIL CONTAINING PIG
FAT effectively DENIES entry to Allah's Paradise to any Islamo-Fascist terrorist KIA with a bullet
coming from a firearm using SILVER BULLET GUN OIL in the barrel. SILVER BULLET GUN OIL uses the belief system of Allah's Islamo-Fascist terrorists to put fear of death into them, a fear
they haven't had until NOW.

#8   the smell of her frying bacon 'offends' Muslims.

The smell of frying bacon is one of the most delectable of all aromas; that it offends Muslims is proof they are defective.

#7  The correct reply in this case would be something like "Yeah? And?" followed by an eyeroll as you shut the door and continue with what you were doing.

What are you some kind of Islamophobe?

#4  I was in the DC metro and I felt physically sick from foul odour from a Muslim's orange curry stained armpits melting into his shirt open to everyone, as he held onto ceiling bars with both hands. I was "offended".

#3  Solve this problem with one simple question: Who was there first?

#2  Bacon, is there anything it can't do?

#1  Given the publicity, they should act fast and market an "Eau de Bacon" perfume, which could either contain real pork odor, or simulated pork odor. After selling a ton and making a fortune, they should then retire to some faraway destination.
