“Politicians with the conservative Swiss People’s Party believe school authorities in Basel have caved to religious minorities in their decision to take pork off the school lunch menu in the coming school year.” No. They didn’t cave to “religious minorities.” Jews have never demanded that non-Jews stop eating pork, anywhere at any time. They caved to one religious minority, Muslims — the only religious minority that ever demands that the majority conform to its rules.
“Anger as Swiss council plans non-pork school lunches,” The Local, June 22, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Politicians with the conservative Swiss People’s Party believe school authorities in Basel have caved to religious minorities in their decision to take pork off the school lunch menu in the coming school year.
Pork sausages are as much a part of Swiss cuisine as fondue and chocolate – so much so that a decision to remove them from the lunch menus of four primary schools in the district of Binningen in Basel-Country has left some local politicians fuming.

“We are outraged. When we first hear [about the decision] we thought we weren’t reading it right,” Swiss People’s Party representative Susanna Keller said at a local council meeting on Monday.
Speaking at the meeting, she argued that sausages such as the Klöpfer – a boiled sausage similar to the cervelat – were part of Switzerland’s cultural heritage.
“Could it be that we are adapting to certain cultures, rather than the other way around,” Keller said, according to local daily the Basellandschaftliche Zeitung.
In a formal information request provided to the council, the Swiss People’s Party asked if the decision would lead to “more demands in future”, without specifying what such demands could be.
But a spokesperson for the local council said the decision to remove pork from the menu came in response to a school survey which showed that around five percent of parents did not want pork on the menu. The reasons had not been investigated….

I see that the Europeans are assimilating nicely with their Muslim invaders…….
Congrats to the Brits. June 23rd will be known as their independence day. Sure it’ll be rough, because the globalists will do everything they can to derail the exit, but it will be worth it in the long run.

Did not think the swiss were dhimmis, always though they were neutral. The burgomeister of these muslim ghettoes are a disgrace to the concept of the nation of Switzerland. In addition to cuckoo clocks they now have cuckoo school boards,

In a way hard to imagine the Swiss letting them in at all. Wouldn’t let Hitler cross the Alps, and “Uncle Joe” Stalin’s forces in from the east. Another version of stealth jihad.

Being a football fan, and with the Euros on, you’d be amazed that a good half of their squad are Albanian Muslims!! There are now so many in Switzerland.

They still are a relative minority, why do non muslims allow muslims to have their stupid way with them all of the time?

When you acquiesce to Muslims, you lost your sovereignty culture and rights as a human being.

If that was supposed to be a coherent statement you missed big time. Try your pidgin English elsewhere.

I bet the head of the school food purchasing department is Muslim and most staff in the cafeterias preparing food are also Muslim. I bet most of the food is halal, and nobody knew it. I bet they get special discounts to make it cheaper to keep halal food than to go back to regular suppliers. I bet the Muslim community has made it clear there will be violence if anything changes from halal. Anybody who objects will be branded racist.

The liberal left in “der Schweitz” is going hog wild to eliminate pork products? Wow, where was the payoff there? Is Swiss chocolate and Swiss Rail Journeys next? Where are you, Rick Steves, when we need you?

The 95% of parents who don’t object to pork on the menu should pull their kids out of school for a week and see how that goes over.

Whenever I read about this happening in any country in Europe, it irritates me beyond belief. Every parent of every kid, at this school should complain. Forego their served up lunch food, and take in ham sandwiches as a packed lunch.

So 5% of the voters carry 100% of the results. And this is democracy? This is only the start and soon these schools will abandon everything and change to Islam. What happened to to majority rights? Switzerland is headed down a road that leads to the 4th Century. Eurabia is well on the way and its no wonder that decent people want to see their borders closed to barbarians. If it goes further it will end in civil war with Obama sending weapons to the Muslims.

Jassar Arafat declared that there was no need for violent takeovers as the weak west would cave in at the ballot boxes. But violence is still being used to cower the west into submission a lot faster.

Stop and think, just another manifestation of the idiocy that is the order of the day when belonging to the EU. It won’t last. As Myrna Loy said in “The Ambassador’s Daughter”(’56), ” You can wear down a rock with water; drip, drip, drip.”

Well then Switzerland you may as well stop being Christian, Jewish or any of the numerous things that offend Muslims! It is called cowardice!

The insidious conquest goes on in the western world when will we wake up like the man said , and TAKE our country back, and eliminate this scourge upon the earth . before it is to late.!

So to avoid offending 5% of the parents you offend the other 95%? This would NEVER happen if the 5% were non-muslims demanding their way in a 95% muslim society. The 5% would be lucky to escape with their lives. The local council needs to either grow a set, quit the PC BS or be replaced with people with a backbone that will stand up for their Country.
