Subway in the UK/Ireland ban ham & pork because it is against Islamic law (illegal, Jesus)

It's the U.K. and Ireland. Who cares.

It's a business decision in a local market. In another country to boot.

Why is this our problem?

Some of the neo-cons posting here are against a free market, I guess.

Sounds like it.

If Subway is alienating their customer base, those stores will go out of business.

Case closed.

some folks believe that muslim culture is violent, intolerant, and undesirable to have as your neighbors.

Remove finger from panic button, please.

And each is likely owned by people of Muslim faith.

There have been Kosher Subway shops in Jewish neighborhoods in the US, since 1986. Ham and bacon were removed from the menu. Cheese is made from soy. These stores close for the sabbath.

These are franchises owned and operated by people of Jewish faith.

I live 15 min from a heavily Jewish town and neighborhoods, never seen any Kosher chain restaurant. Google Monsey, Kiryas Joel, Spring Valley..... All Jewish towns

Same thing... The reason why they eliminated was due to pressure for Muslims because it is haram
