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

Some U.K., Irish Subways ban ham under pressure

So scary how some Subway locations in the UK and Ireland under pressure of Muslims got rid of bacon and ham and replaced it with Halal meat instead.

The point is that the Muslim minorities are trying to ban what is forbidden according to their religious belief, and replace it with "halal", not to include both options.

So it is scary for a restaurant to market towards a type of demographic to increase profits? I am confused with this, what is wrong with Subway doing this?

Would it not be more correct to say that some small minority of Subways are providing a menu that appeals in areas with a heavy Muslim population?

Sounds more like trying to sell more sandwiches than a religious crusade.

Okay, I'll boycott. I promise I will never jump on a plane and fly to England to go to Subway, even though England may be one of the few tourist destinations where a mediocre chain sandwich shop is better than the native cuisine.

Who's with me?

Ain't that the truth, there is a reason why you rarely see British food restaurants in the US, yet you can easily find Italian food.

The difference is that India is predominately a Hindu nation while the UK has only around 3% Muslims.

So? They are only doing this with Subways that are in areas that have a higher percentage of Muslims. Still I don't see what is wrong with a restaurant doing this to increase their sales.
