Why is it anywhere Western and Islamic traditions conflict, it is Western mores and tradtions that must give way?
Fast-food giant: The word ‘ham’ in hamburger too offensive for Muslims
By: WND Staff, September 10, 2019:
The U.S. House of Representatives changed its dress code to accommodate a Muslim, so it’s clear that the demands of members of that religion are influential.
Story continues below advertisementNow a major restaurant chain is changing its sandwich names to avoid offending Muslims.
The Business Insider reported Burger King in South Africa is dropping the word “ham” from its menu.
What used to be known as the “Double Spicy Hamburger” will now be a “Double Spicy Burger.” The “Triple Hamburger with Cheese” becomes the “Triple Burger with Cheese,” and a “Hamburger King Jr” on the kids menu will now be just a “Kids Burger,” the report said.
The corporation, whose worldwide headquarters are in Miami, Florida, said the changes are being made “to be more respectful of Muslim customers.”
Burger King is relatively new to South Africa, having launched in 2013.
Business Insider noted a hamburger, made of minced beef, does not contain pork. “Ham” is simply part of the name of the German city Hamburg, where the patties were supposedly first made.
Juan Klopper, the COO of the chain in South Africa, said its outlets had been certified halal, or compliant with Islamic law, even though its product names included “ham.”
But the company also said its sites are losing that certification, since some sandwiches are being redesigned to include bacon, based on popular demand.
Jihad Watch asked: “What other religious community gets this kind of consideration?”

Then Hamburg (a stronghold of Muslims, including the 9/11 assassins) is soon
banned and must be called Haramburg. That’s where Hamburgers came from.
Maybe they should call their burgers
Harambe, that would fit them the best.
I am anyway against the rampant McDonaldisation, and in
favour of Africans finally eating snake eggs & roots again.

go to camel pee is good said mo ham it up – about page 23.
Can I get that with a side of “Honor Killing in the Name of Muhammed ” fries?
Odd: “Muhammed” has the word “ham” within it!
as in Mo Ham It Up?
https://www.the-derafsh-kaviyani.com/english/mohammed-believe-it-or-else.pdf
Trying to find a way to say it without the “Ham” in it. I’ve settled on, “Mud.”
Attention! You ham radio operators out there – you’re next!
And you beer drinkers out there – get ready for changes because “Hamm’s Beer” is due for a change of name,
Corporate America has become a slave to Muslim “sensitivities”. Sensitivity training on the bottom line.
Now Democrats want us to pay a Halal tax on meat and you know damn well the Muslims are behind this extortion.
whatdabout green eggs and HAM!
you have offended me!
/sarc
you mean I am offended I am sam
Time to let them know we won’t take it..go to their FB- TWITTER-EMAIL and tell them how we feel about it.
I am tired of the bullshit coming from companies to appease the Muslim population because it hurts their feelings. In America its called a HAMBURGER. Screw Burger King, I will never order or eat another item from Burger King again. I suggest everyone else who is fed up with this crap to do the same.
I agree. This is asinine. I have HAMburgers in my freezer.
I make my own as I make them better and cost heaps less. Even the bread roll made at home and use bacon in them
Same here.
People can’t spit on them or have fecal bacteria laden hands touching them.
So true, would not want a dirty Muslim making it
Be good if all did and send a neesage to companies that bow to Islam. Next they will take the bacon out
Can I come over? lol
Thanks for saying.
Do my best to feed four, with the lot and they love them, had one other but has gone fussy on foods. Couple have two. The best ones I liked were in Sydney Australia, was rated the best many years back and was then $2
I am sure you can do as good than brought ones and putting in what you like. If you do not like doing the bun, you can always buy a bead machine, with only bit of handling. I make 8 buns from one bread machine that look good and bigger than brought ones. Can always freeze the ones you do not use for another day.
Practice makes perfect, including many other meals.
One beauty doing your own, you know exactly what has gone into the things you make and how handled.
Hope the items you use are Halal free, no Halal Certification.
If more did their own the better for all of us, we do not bow to Islam.
Agree. Left/Liberals invite Muslim immigrants and they payback with fecal diversity cuisine
http://offtrade.net/cnmnews/coffee-chains-with-fecal-bacteria/
LOL !
Are they going to demand that atlases and maps delete the city HAMBURG from Germany?
What’s next? Taking “KING” off the signs? Isn’t that too “sexist”?
what about MuHAMmmad?

South Africa: Burger King drops “ham” from names of burgers to avoid offending Muslims
SEP 9, 2019 2:00 PM
BY ROBERT SPENCER
…
On Friday the chain confirmed it has changed the names of three of its products. What was previously known as a “Double Spicy Hamburger” will now just be a “Double Spicy Burger”; the “Triple Hamburger with Cheese” becomes the “Triple Burger with Cheese”, and a “Hamburger King Jr” on the kids menu will now be just a “Kids Burger”.

As a non-Muslim I am highly offended. Time to switch to Five Guys for good.
Acts 15:29 – You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols …
Hebrew Name for the devil that is translated as Lucifer in IS 14 v.12
In Hebrew – Satan or HaSatan is a title meaning “the adversary”
Lucifer = Halal – Strong’s
https://www.biblestudytools.com › acts › 15-29-compareYou are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of … Acts 15:29 (NIRV) Don’t eat food that has been offered to statues of gods.
I have little doubt that our halal food people also fund jihad.
I heard about muslims buying up all the meat processing plants in the country to they could make it all halal. This is pure evil. Time to become vegetarian.
Btw., French fries come from Belgium, heartland
of Moronika, today’s “EU”. It will not produce any
other invention thanks to the Muslim population.
Gee, have the filthy mooslimes ever heard of just keep walking, if they don’t like something. This is only one more step in a series where they slowly gain control over every aspect of modern society. I’m just waiting for some filthy mooslime “leader” to declare that all forms of fun, are in contradiction to islam and must now be banned.
They do that already. It’s called Shariah Law.
Berger King is now doing dog tricks by rolling over and playing dead for muslim speech codes.
They also tweeted supportive tweets regarding the shakes thrown at conservatives in the UK. “Get your shakes to throw here!”
UK wanted to ban piggy banks, even the muslims thought that was overboard.
Don’t care, my go to burger is Sonic.
I doubt it, it wouldn’t taste the same. When the taste changes, I’ll go somewhere else.
I am not familiar with them but RIGHT YOU ARE!
HORRIBLE service at Sonic…………
I always go through the drive-thru window, and they are usually still warm when I get home, as I live within a mile of one.
The name for the sandwich came from the city of Hamburg, I believe. There’s plenty of Muslims in Germany, now. They haven’t caught on to being outraged there, yet. “The ham in the name Hamburg offends me!!!” Only a matter of time, though.
Shakespearian theatre companies worldwide are under intense pressure from Western governments to toss Hamlet.
That’s stupid ,goodbye Burger King to many other hamburger places to go to ,by the way the word muslim offends me
How discriminatory!!! What about vegans, they don’t eat meat so in order not to offend them ALL references to meat need to be scrubbed from society.
And people who don’t eat carbs. Why are they subjected to pictures of bread and pasta and cereals?
Some people don’t drink beer or any alcohol and yet they are traumatized by beer commercials.daily.
I hate peas and yet there they are every time I go to the grocery store.
Muslims don’t EAT pork. How does that require the banning of any word or picture associated with pork?
Thinking about opening a restaurant called Allah’s Pulled Pork Bar B Q
How about a brothel named “Not 72 Virgins”?
from Wikipedia – ” A fortress there was named Hammaburg (burg means “fortress”). In Old High German. hamma means “angle” and hamme means “pastureland”” Scour the Webster and rout the hamsters, the hamlets, the hammers, the hamper, ham-handed, hamstrung, ham actor, ham radio, Alexander Hamilton,, etc. No sense triggering overly sensitive souls.
Dumb+sses…the burgers are not halal…why does it matter
F*ck these Muslims OWN hamburger joints some call them beef burgers others hamburgers but don’t actually use or sell the bacon or ham. Why are they determined to change normal life to their st!those ways. Why do we westerners back down to them for fear of being seen as r-cst when Muslims clearly are and tell us.
It would please Allah to live as Muslims lived in the 7th century.
That is why their countries are shiiitholes except for the Muslim elites and tourists.
Rename them PIG-Burgers. at least 50% PIG MEAT IN THE PATTIE. Make Peppa Pig the new mascot, dump the creepy king.
Diet-observant Jews and Seventh-Day Adventists don’t eat ham, either.
So, why has Burger King waited until now to stop using “hamburger”?
Clearly it’s because Burger King is now Dhimmitude King!
same here – no ham for me.
this little piggy went to market – and never came back
this little piggy stayed home – and I rented it for a pig party in an old coot retirement home {337-237-3040} Brenda will answer
This little piggy has roast ISIS
this little piggy had none – its mess mate opens the frig and yells, who scarfed up all the roast ISIS
this little piggy cried roast ISIS all the way home

Is that a DeluxeMaster 5000 rotisserie, or just some knock off?

Hamburg is where the hamburger is thought to have originated. The word hamburger was created to honer Hamburg, Germany, by adding an er after the name.
moHAMmed has ham in it. is that offensive?
The most wretched religion /cult in the world is worried about a fast food chain. And, just what does not offend moslems? Answer: Bernie Sanders.
Great question. Why does the West always have to bend over backwards to barbarians? … When will the Muslims be forced to accept any of our civilized ways? The answer is never. The Left will not allow us to demand that Muslims accept our ways. Not even our toilet paper.
The West must always lose because we are the Left’s enemy.
The Left imports Muslims to use them as weapons in their War on Americans and others. Just insert your ethnicity or nationality here. If you don’t belong to a genocidal hate ideology , one of their Useful Idiot groups, or one of their Thugee Tribes, you’re on their enemy list.
To turn this around … we have to red pill enough of the drones to restore power to our side, and to defeat the Left. And it’s not going to be a short battle. The Left has been winning for 200+ years, the recent set-backs they have faced are just that – minor set-backs because the raving violent maniacs behind the Left have bared a fang or two and scared a few soccer moms.
We are nowhere near as close to victory as we might think we are. Most of our friends and neighbors are just deluded and ignorant. Most of them have not even heard of most of the crimes and violence going on in the 3d world. When we try to explain something to them – the facts are so shocking and terrifying – their eyes glaze over, they give you the deer in the headlights look – and they don’t believe you.
Again – we’ve got to get the drones to polls to vote as far to the Right as they can in their district – to support the rest of us who can vote for solid pro-Americans – who will support our pro-American governors and the President.
Burger King should have a new “Makin’ Bacon” burger. Amazon has the perfect t-shirt for the occasion.

HAMburger Hill!
Burger King will no longer be on my list of options.
the ham in hamburger is not even about pork, its about a place, Hamburg. i wonder how the Germans feel about that slight? you would think that a company that specializes in a such a specialized sandwich would understand why it is called what it is called.
stupid is as stupid does
Maybe the Germans should change the name of that city to Beefburg.
It’s bound to attract more muzrats and we all know how Merkel loves her muz.
Good point!
About time people stand up against Islam and retain the word Hamburger. If Burgerking goes that way removing the word Ham for Hamburger it is time for all to shop elsewhere
Take theBacon out of a Hambuger no good buying from those outlets
I avoid buying any food halal
I’d sooner eat sawdust than give one penny to the cause of islam.
NEVER TRADE WITH THE MUZRAT!
they hide the symbol on the packaging…most people cannot identify it, and don’t check
We should always ask at the counter. I quite often have lunch at a subway and different ones sell different meat some halal but most not, just depending who runs that particular franchise so I always ask and if the answer is wrong I walk away.
good for you
????????????
Big Mac HAMburger – “Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions – on a sesame seed bun.” Gee, wonder why I am so hungry all of a sudden?
Whoops. I dropped Gillette shaving products after their recent indoctrination ads. And now, even though I dearly love Burger King double Whoppers, I will no longer be frequenting Burger King for hamburgers. Sad. Good Bye Burger King.
THANK YOU PAM.
First my jaw hit the floor. Then I laughed till I peed. (Well, I would have done if I weren’t so jaded about this nonsense already.) Burger King no more! Burger Cave is more like it.
‘Hamburgers’ but without ‘ham’ aka pork – that’s a laugh. But the real reason NOT to eat BKs or MacDs anywhere is that they are halal. And the hala tax goes to funding terrorism.
Macd’s don’t do halal.
At least not in Britain they don’t.
Cheer up!
It will come to you too!
We have it in the US … Sarcasm off.
????????I’m cheered up mate????????
Where i live majority if A-rabs own and run corner convenience stores and moham-ed hamburger joints but don’t handle bacon or ham let alone sell it on burgers as such. MohabMentals actually the lot of them. And smoke dope on Xmas day sick people mozlemz
When referring to Hamburgers the majority of people mean Beef burger.
If it was halal though as the Muzrats would no doubt like it to be surely they would loose too much business
I wonder when the weak and pathetic government in the UK will impliment the law on the illegal indescriminent distribution of halal meat to non muslims. That would stop any burger king restaurants deciding to pander to muslim demands. And lets not forget that these muslims have no moral code. You can’t have if you consider a mass murdering, slave trading, rapist, paedophile, war lord is the most perfect human that has walked this earth. This ideology should be banned the same as nazism is.
If Boris survives Brexit then lm sure that could be on the cards
Hello Dave, Just a question. What do you think of the English Democrate party under the control of Robin Tilbrook. I ask because they seem to be pro English although I have had comments removed from their website when refering to islam. Do you know why comments on this blog and you tube do not stay in time order.
Hiya Clem. They are pro English (as I am too) but to the extent that they want to be independent of Scotland and Wales which doesn’t at all appeal to me being a staunch unionist = British nationalist.
Although I do think it unfair that both Scotland and Wales have their own separate parliaments to discuss their particular issues but England has non. So I’m all for an English assembly but not at any great expense as I think far too much money is spent on politicians when all the spoiled bastards do is ignore our commands and stab us in the back. Right now I’m just desperate to see my country free of the blood sucking EU and it’s hold over us dictates even our own law making. Hopefully though freedom is close and if not then they the parliamentarians will pay dearly with blood.
BREXIT NOW!????????
Burger King: The word ‘ham’ in hamburger too offensive for Muslims
Then by that ‘logic’ Hamburg, Germany, must be a Muslim free city, right?
I’m packing my bags as I write????
When one considers what South Africa has become under communism…and the genocide of white farmers and their families….this burger war is nothing in a world of emptiness……
It’s hard to believe but once upon a time, a white doctor, Christiaan Barnard, performed the world’s first successful heart transplant back in 1967. Today South Africa is lucky if they have water and electricity.
Racist, communist Mandella got his wish and Matamela Ramaphosa succeeded him as President. Maxine Waters and Elijah Cummngs would be considered geniuses compared to him. The left wants what happened to South Africa to happen here.
On December 3, 1967, 53-year-old Louis Washkansky receives the first human heart transplant at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa.
Washkansky, a South African grocer dying from chronic heart disease, received the transplant from Denise Darvall, a 25-year-old woman who was fatally injured in a car accident. Surgeon Christiaan Barnard, who trained at the University of Cape Town and in the United States, performed the revolutionary medical operation. The technique Barnard employed had been initially developed by a group of American researchers in the 1950s. American surgeon Norman Shumway achieved the first successful heart transplant, in a dog, at Stanford University in California in 1958.
After Washkansky’s surgery, he was given drugs to suppress his immune system and keep his body from rejecting the heart. These drugs also left him susceptible to sickness, however, and 18 days later he died from double pneumonia. Despite the setback, Washkansky’s new heart had functioned normally until his death.
In the 1970s, the development of better anti-rejection drugs made transplantation more viable. Dr. Barnard continued to perform heart transplant operations, and by the late 1970s many of his patients were living up to five years with their new hearts. Successful heart transplant surgery continues to be performed today, but finding appropriate donors is extremely difficult.

A Muslim goes into Burger King and says “I want two Whoppers.”
The clerk behind the counter quickly replies: “Mohamed wasn’t a child molesting murderer
AND
Islam is a Religion of Peace.”
BOYCOTT Burger King!
They have a history of cow-towing to the lefty’s as well as now bowing to the muz coin. Early this summer when Tommy Robinson was standing for election and a muzrat threw a milkshake on him Burger King made light of it and started advertising their shakes for that specific purpose so when Nigel Farage was campaigning a week later the same thing happened to him and BK thought it was a great way to advertise their toxic filth. I’d rather starve to death than eat their shite!
BOYCOTT BURGER KING!
The perfect man, NOT, defective DNA.

If you want to see the ways that Moslems like their meat prepared look at Ann Marie Waters’ video on YouTube.
If we were a sane country their would be visitors on 9/11 from all over the world coming to see the annual hangings of muslims culled from the internment camps.
Proscribe Islam or you and your children will be slaves or worse to sharia!
