>>> No, vandalism is a crime and its completely offbase and ignorant to insinuate that I'd take a far more serious act of an actual hate crime as lightly as I would this.

It just proves how absurd these religious restrictions on pork and other products considered "haram" are.

So stupid. The only way they're going to make 100% certain that they will never come into contact with anything pork is to go to a COUNTRY that doesn't raise it, or import it, or use it in any way, shape or form.

Get on a jet, and leave.

This country likes bacon.

Period.


I bet they have no idea just how much is made with pork by-products and I'm not just talking about food.

As compared to any other omnivore? Fat is GOOD.

Exactly.

It's in so many things.

What are they going to do? Force companies to disclose everything that has pork or by products of pork in it?

They have no idea what they have come into contact with that has pork or some component of pork in it.

I question this too, in a past reply here.

It makes no sense and is a way to go after someone, when no real crime, or physical harm, was committed.

"Hate crime" is a colloquialism for bias motivated crime. Bias motivated sentence enhancement laws increase the sentences for worse criminals with more sinister motivations.

The average Muslim is a lot like the average Christian. They pick and choose what parts of their religion they want to follow.
