There will never be "evidence" in this case. We should all be smart enough to connect the dots by ourselves.

I found this article more telling
Quote:
Ohio officials to remove all pork products from prison menus in
response to a lawsuit by Muslim inmates
Ohio Pork Producers Angry Over Muslim Prison Lawsuit and it is almost without a doubt the same reason
Quote:
federal government abruptly removed bacon, pork chops, pork links, ham and all
other pig products from the national menu for 206,000 federal inmates
yeah, connect the dots.. pretty simple.

Try to read and comprehend. Clearly you didn't read the article because it speaks about the different groups in prison who do not eat pork. It is not only Jews or Muslims.

Way I figure it, you eat what's there, or starve. Prison is not for the picky. But, this interpretation of what constitutes "cruel and unusual" has gotten out of hand. K don't see a Muslim having to eat pork as such. Live on Jello and canned corn , then.
Um...Jello is made from pig skin. A Muslim can't eat that, either.

I can read and comprehend just fine. You are the one who has a problem in that area. I can read and comprehend textbooks with words that you don't even understand, much less comprehend even a single sentence. There was an exchange between another poster and I, and your response had absolutely nothing at all to do with that exchange. You just wanted one more post (of many) to tell everyone about how you are a Christian who doesn't eat pork. We get it. You are Christian. You don't eat pork.

This is a forum. If you don't want anyone else responding to you, then you send private messages. Obviously, you don't want to acknowledge that any other prisoners besides Muslims could be benefiting from this. Nothing in my post says anything about me but it bothers you know that you can't make it all about Muslims.

There are Hebrew Israelites, Messianic Jews etc. in those prisons...but of course, you'll act like that has nothing to do with the discussion. Surprise, surprise.

I feel like I am talking to a child. Nothing you are saying here has a basis for reality. You are making up arguments that don't exist. I would like to answer you, but I can't because I don't identify with a single thing you are saying here. Nothing here accurately applies to me or anything I have said. You are just blindly regurgitating the same talking points you have been randomly stating to different people throughout this thread.
