Doesn't bother me at all as long but up to a point. It'd **** me off to no end if the stores stopped carrying pork and shellfish all of a sudden to 'pacify' Muslims, but religious Jews have similar prejudices against food (no pork and no shellfish)
Although, come to think of it there are some items in Asian diet that would raise hell, but formally would still be OK in the 'it's private enterprise' line of thought. Imagine if stores started carrying dog, cat meat, monkey brains, tiger testicles, live snakes, fried cockroaches, etc..., or a stoning kit, or live goats for a halal slaughter. There are obvious unspoken limits to 'free enterprise', although I'm sure one could make much money on the above items.
p.s. is there a burqa (headscarf) section at Walmart yet? Made in some festive colors at least, not just the spooky depressing black
I see more Muslim woman wearing colorful headscarves than I do seeing them just wearing black. Don't know if they buy them at Walmart, though, lol. Probably not, since most of them are in Manhattan, which doesn't have Walmart.
Gee and all this time I thought it was Un-American to notice a market to target for making larger profits and then to promptly ignore the possibility of expanding one's market share.

When there are enough people to generate a profit, then companies will make a move.
They do demographic studies and projections.
So, assume the Muslim communities in the US are big enough that these companies will make their move.
It just signals that the Muslim communities are large enough across the US that products will change/be created for them.
Folks who want diversity and tolerance should be happy over this. Companies are changing their products in the name of diversity.
Why do people complain so, we do have choices in our lives, you don't like something, you disagree with something, your against something, you don't frequent this store. So many grocerie stores these days have ethnic sections of the store, and also stores like Cost Plus, that have food imported from so many other Countries, if your against this, do not shop there. Simple as that. If not one person would shop at these stores, they would get the message. Maybe those in Power, should get tougher on the Muslim Front, they don't seem to care!
How dare they sell Arabic pickled turnips or Lamoun Markbouss! I will not only boycott them but also boycott LEMONS AND TURNIPS or anything that resembles a turnip ( whatever that is??) and a lemon! /marches around in anger
