The restaurant Sneakers Bistro in Local Winooski, Vermont has removed a sign that had the word ‘bacon’ due to Muslim opposition.
In a Facebook post, the restaurant issued the following statement, ““We are here to serve people BREAKFAST, not politics. We removed the sign that was located on public property as a gesture of respect for our diverse community. There were also concerns raised about safety (emphasis added). Removing it was not a difficult decision. We still love bacon. We still love eggs. Please have the political conversation elsewhere.”
Is the ‘safety’ factor the restaurant cited due to their fear of what would happen if they didn’t remove ‘bacon’ from their sign?
$#%&!@* them
Politically correct is another word for stupid.
Stop bowing down idiots
vermont give them an inch they are going to try to take a mile…..they came here…..if they dont like….they can leave! PERIOD!
let the muslims have the restaurant, everyone boycott the place
Why didn’t they just say “NO” ????
I would tell those muslim bastard that in this country we do have freedoms that the constitution gave us. and nobody can take that away, unless we are going to be commie and that is what it seems like.
We know that they won’t do the right thing. Your cowards and need to move to another country. Take your muslim friends with you. I will never eat there.
i would’ve made the sign bigger.
ToB-Diverse says:
“Jewish religion prescribes avoiding bacon, yet Jewish people know and live within cultures that will eat this food. For centuries, Catholic people didn’t eat meat on Fridays. But they were not offended by their non-Catholic neighbors who did. They expected that their practice belonged to them and hoped others would respect that. The Muslim woman protesting the bacon sign has a wonderful opportunity to respect her neighbors’ practice of enjoying bacon while maintaining the practice of her Faith. It’s not like the word “bacon” is defaming the name of the Prophet is it? It’s not sacrilegious (I don’t think) to acknowledge that bacon exists and some people actually eat it.”
