The poor can do without pork in their soup. Muslims declared it. French obeyed Muslims.
That’s right. French officials shut down soup kitchens for the poor. There was pork in the soup.
The poor didn’t seem to mind the pork. In fact, the non-Muslims thought it quite delicious. But the Muslims noted the pork particles swimming about the soup bowls and so screamed NOT.
That was enough for the French powers-that-be to side along with the Muslims rather than have another riot in the streets. Anything to keep the peace, of course.
Naturally, Muslims who move into non-Muslim environs demand the Muslim milieu. However, non-Muslims in Muslim countries can hardly find the handbook on human rights. This is especially so when it comes to freedom of religious expression.
Try to build a church in Turkey. It takes years to get blueprint approval. And then another decade to get the building up because contractors continue to mess things up. Then when it is up, ooops, a fire in the night. Who could have lit the match?
