Islamization of UK: Fast food giant Subway has removed ham and bacon from stores, halal only

Unbelievable. Any where the West and Islam conflict, it’s the West that must submit. “Muslim demands”? Where have we heard that before?

I would never eat a fry from these dhimmis. The UK really is being transformed right before our eyes.

It’s laughable, for Subway explained its decision by saying it had to balance animal welfare concerns with “the views of religious communities.” Halal slaughter is vicious (more here).

Their business should suffer.

“Subway removes ham and bacon from nearly 200 stores and offers halal meat only after ‘strong demand’ from Muslims” By Sean Poulter,  April 30, 2014, Daily Mail

185 branches across UK and Ireland now sell halal-only meat
Halal refers to objects or actions permissible under Islamic law
Pork is forbidden and while other meat can be eaten, it must be sourced, slaughtered and processed according to strict rules
Subway said all halal meat served in its branches has come from animals that were stunned before being slaughtered
Halal-only menu is in response to ‘strong demand’ from Muslim customers

Fast food giant Subway has removed ham and bacon from almost 200 outlets, and switched to halal meat alternatives in an attempt to please its Muslim customers.

It has confirmed turkey ham and turkey rashers will be used instead in 185 of its stores, where all the meat will now be prepared according to halal rules.

The chain, which has around 1,500 outlets across the UK, explained its decision by saying it had to balance animal welfare concerns with ‘the views of religious communities’.
Nearly 200 Subway branches across the UK and Ireland have cut out ham and bacon, selling only halal meat, in response to demand from their multicultural customers

Traditional halal slaughter sees animals have their throats slit before bleeding to death. But Subway stressed that the meat served in its sandwiches would come from animals that have been stunned first, a practice that aims to reduce any suffering.

In Arabic the word halal means ‘permitted’ or ‘lawful’ and defines anything that is allowed or lawful according to the Qur’an.

It is often used to indicate food – particularly meat – has been prepared in accordance with Muslim principles and techniques.

Muslims are forbidden from eating any non-halal food and meat from pigs and Subway said customers can identify those stores selling halal food by the special ‘All meats are Halal’ sign, which must be displayed in participating branches.

In the halal-only branches ham and bacon has been substituted for turkey ham and rashers.

Many animal charities condemn halal slaughter as being cruel to animals.

Traditionally in halal abattoirs the throats of the animals are cut while they are fully conscious – an act many campaigners say is inhumane and needlessly cruel.

In non-halal abattoirs, livestock are stunned before killing to prevent any unnecessary suffering.

Some halal butchers also practise pre-stunning, though it is not permitted by some Islamic scholars.

In Britain, killing an animal without prior stunning is illegal, but the law gives special exemption to Muslim and Jewish meat producers on the grounds of religion.

There are thought to be around 12 abattoirs dedicated to unstunned slaughter in the UK, while hundreds practise stunned halal slaughter.

A Subway spokeswoman told MailOnline all halal meat served in the participating branches is from animals who were stunned prior to slaughter.

She said: ‘The growing popularity of the Subway chain with the diverse multicultural population across the UK and Ireland means we have to balance the values of many religious communities with the overall aim of improving the health and welfare standards of animals.

‘We put a programme into place in 2007 to ensure that the population demographic is taken into account when new store openings are considered in order that we meet consumer demand in each location.
SUBWAY SUBS AFFECTED BY RULES

Subs
Chicken and Bacon Ranch Melt
Steak and Cheese
Meatball Marinara
Subway Melt – ham, bacon, turkey breast and cheese
Italian B.M.T. – pepperoni, salami and ham
Spicy Italian – pepperoni and salami
Chicken Avocado

Breakfast subs
Bacon
Mega Melt – bacon, sausage, egg and cheese
Sausage
Bacon, Egg and Cheese
Sausage, Egg and Cheese

All ham and bacon is replaced by turkey ham and turkey rashers and all meat is prepared according to Islamic halal rules.

‘All our suppliers comply with EU animal welfare legislation as a minimum and we require suppliers of halal products to adopt the stunning of animals prior to their slaughter.

‘All halal meats are certified by the appropriate halal authorities.

‘All halal Subway stores have numerous signs stating that they serve halal food.

‘These are situated on the menu panels, nutritional information and in the front window of the store.’

Animal campaigning charity PETA urged people to opt for a vegetarian diet to ensure they have the best interests of animals at heart.

A spokesman said: ‘At the best of times, meat is a product of a bloody and violent industry with no respect for other living beings who value their lives in the same way that we do and experience the same pain and terror that Subways’ customers would if they were killed for a sandwich.

‘Most religions, including Islam, preach kindness to animals, but words are one thing and practice another.

‘As the Dalai Lama said, “My religion is kindness”. And a diet that expresses kindness, is open to all religions and truly respects animal rights is a vegan one.

‘Subway-goers, no matter what their religion, can eat with a clear conscience by opting for the veggie patty, the veggie delight or, heaven forbid, a salad.’

Speaking about the general issue of halal slaughter, an RSPCA spokeswoman added: ‘Scientific research has clearly shown that slaughter of an animal without stunning can cause unnecessary suffering, and the RSPCA is opposed to the slaughter of any animal without first making it insensible to pain and distress.

‘At present, the only legal exemptions to stunning during slaughter exist for kosher and halal methods of slaughter, however, it is important to differentiate between ‘religious’ and ‘non-stun’ slaughter as around 90 per cent of all halal in the UK receives a stun before slaughter.

‘Our concern has nothing to do with the expression of religious belief but with the practice of killing by throat cutting without pre-stunning.

‘We believe that meat produced from animals stunned or not stunned before slaughter should be clearly labelled to allow consumer choice, and continue to press for changes in the law that would improve the welfare of all farm animals at the time of slaughter.’

  • carol

    its time people realised this is discrimination against british people. bacon is as british as fish and chips. halal is not on our menu and has nothing to do with our religion or race .. cant we take them to court for this? they are always playing the race card even though we all know islam is not a race. but britains are a race and i no longer buy any meat but pork, the only meat left thats safe from muslims. they dont even leave the fish alone but god knows how the manage that one. i say sue subways and sue all the supermarkets for putting the minority muslims before the people of this country and forcing un christian meat upon us. i think we could get a strong case against them as they sem to take the racism card so seriously whenever ukip are mentioned.

    • Betty4440

      when the muslims kill and pray to satan that taints our foods because they praying to an idle so now our food id unclean. and they invite the muslims in to our churches and I feel that every church thay lets muslims in is tainted also because they serve their god satan.any thing to please them.yea right.

    • Xwingfighter1138

      You don’t need to waste your time taking them to court, they are a business. Send a message by eating elsewhere.

      If Subway’s revenue were to plunge, they would switch back. But most people will ignore it, especially in England, which has gone soft. I don’t expect any resistance to this assimilation until alcohol is banned.

    Also boycott New Zealand lamb which is all Halal and is currently available in every supermarket in the UK. None of it carries the Islamic Halal mark and thereby denies consumers the right to make a choice. By buying Halal food we are aiding the spread of Islamic supremacy and funding terrorism.

  • tigerlily34

    I’m not racist in any way.. but c’mon this is britan.. wat about us NOT wanting to eat halal meat because of the way its done.. we don’t want to eat meat thats prepaired that way !! our way or no way!!

    What is next the McBLT and the sausage and egg McMuffin? They will have to change their name to McMecca’s if they go after McDonald’s. I don’t eat at Subway anyway because their bread is full of chemicals while they pretend to sell fresh and healthy food.
    If you eat meat, you are eating cruelty, bottom line. If you want to eat a kind diet, go vegan.

    • Freebro

      LOL!!! I like what you said about McDonalds! Yeah, I can see all the names changing… NOT!!!

  • Tribal Boy 123

    I wont EVER eat at another Subway store again! In a survey done it was said that Muslims don’t even eat at fast food places because they cant afford it. Only the man works. In traditional families the wife is denigrated to stay at home. It is said when KFC did this they lost a lot of money and changed its decision LOL

    • liza

      KFC still serve halal meat and have for years…

  • ishkabibul

    “Most religions including islam preach kindness to animals “that would be the understatement of the year-we all know how much it hurts when we just cut our finger -islam’s -halal methiod of killing is cruel and barbaric -saying a prayer doesn’t help the animal-we have seen and heard of the horrific torture and slaughter of our Australian cattle and sheep in the horror abbattiors in islamic countries -they are sometimes cut up in the streets by their -roving butchers -recently a poor camel was running down the street with it’s life ‘s blood oozng from it -crying -islam has no empathy or compassion for -any animal and our Australian government should be so ashamed for allowing this depravity into -our-country.-and all who pander to islam.

    • GERALDO ROSA

      All peoples of the world should unite against what is happening: The Muslim invasion in the West. They want revenge against everything and everyone and will do so, taking account of the West. They will fill the world with children and take care of everything, you can be sure that within 40 years, the Western world will be Muslim. OPEN YOUR EYES ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE WEST!!

  • Thinking From First Principles

    For those who are Christians, I encourage delivering the message to Subway in an appropriate tone. There are several components to our concerns:
    1) Acts 15:29 gives clear instruction for Christians to “abstain from things sacrificed to idols” which would certainly seem to include all meats Halal based on the specific requirement for Islamic prayer in the butchering. Our statement to Subway should be to ask if Subway is aware that halal meat is forbidden to Christians, and that they are barring observant Christians from their customer base?
    2) Halal slaughter can only be done by a Muslim. Hence Halal meat requires racist (bigoted) discrimination as non-Muslims cannot work as butchers on any of their Halal products. Our question to Subway should be whether they understand the racist implications of Halal – that non-Muslims are discriminated against in the butcher trade arising to their exclusive use of Halal?
    3) Subway claims to be attempting to serve the public, and that public is inherently diverse. Adding Halal options is not the same as eliminating non-Halal options. Adding Halal options serves their diverse customer base. Deleting non-Halal options discriminates against those customers with religious, animal-rights, or other objections to Halal. Our question should be why they chose the discriminatory option instead of the inclusive option?
    Then, given that they have chosen exclusion and discrimination over inclusion, to boycott for that reason … that they have a choice and have chosen discrimination over inclusion.
    But whatever words we use or argument we make, let justice be tempered with mercy, patience and longsuffering in the way we present it, asking them to change.

    Boycott Hala by Pat Condell http://youtu.be/3gYq2DQG1zI

      Pat says read the label and if you see the Halal mark put the product back on the shelf. This works well except when Halal food is not labelled – like New Zealand sheep meat which is imported into the UK in huge quantities.

      Why would food producers hide the fact that their products comply with Sharia? Is it because you might exercise your right not to feed your family Muslim food or maybe consumers might start asking awkward questions about how animals are being slaughtered without stunning first and where the profit ends up that is surcharged on every product for Halal certification fees and paid to Islamic institutions?

    That this will likely hit their bottom line negatively and they are still willing to take the hit says just how far the Islamization of the UK has progressed. Apparently the % of Muslims in the neighborhoods served by Subway are significant and growing in influence.

    The inclination is to blame Subway but the real cause of Subway’s business dilemma is the politically correct, multiculturalist, intellectual enthusiasts who refuse to acknowledge the detrimental effects of their zealous refusal to face the reality of their immigration policies on their home country; soon to be, if not already, the once great nation of Britain.

    It will happen here too if our government is not purged of like minded individuals that have adamantly opposed acknowledging any involvement of Islam and Muslim culpability in the battles fought in the Middle East after 9/11. And Obama and his progressive ilk have taken this active suppression of the obvious to new heights.

    Meanwhile, the “Islamophobes” continue to shout in the information wilderness; warnings and daily commentary about the horrors committed in the name of Islam around the world that the western media, academia, etc. continue to dismiss or ignore altogether. It is complete and devastating proof of the power of propaganda and the carefully cultivated mob mentality; keep your mouth shut or go with the crowd or be bullied, denigrated and marginalized into submission or irrelevance.

    The west is in deep trouble unless and until it confronts this ignorance, the intellectually inspired dogma, designed as enlightened thinking and disguised as beneficial, cultural modernization; a new era on the march toward the fictitious Utopia. All one need do is ignore the obvious and listen to the platitudes and lofty pronouncements spewed forth by the intellectual elite who will take their addled view of inhuman nature to their graves while ordinary humans suffer the consequences.

    You would think liberals would hate halal. I just found out about it! I had to look it up. They don’t knock the animal unconscious or quickly kill it. Supposedly, they slit its throat while its still conscious. Where is groups like PETA? Why aren’t they freaking out?

      In the game of Liberal Trumps, the brown and exotic card trumps animal cruelty and even female genital mutilation. Even though the brown and exotic trump has no basis in reality, it still is tops in the hierarchy as holding an ideal or a concept always trumps reality. Liberal Trumps is a very irresponsible game indeed.

  • wisegal1958

    What in the world is the matter with you, UK Subway????? Islam is a disease that spreads as surely as cancer, and you are definitely showing symptoms. Why on earth wouldn’t you be looking to cure yourself of this rather than embracing your death???? It WILL kill you, you know.

    Interesting to read that they demand humane slaughter of animals they intend to eat but think nothing of slaughtering their own people and others. Where is the peace in this fanaticism?

    If you bother to look,it’s in the UK,not the States.It’s only 185 out of over 1400 plus outlets and those are all in muzrat areas where 95% of the people are muzzys. and it’s voluntary for the store.You got bigger muzrat probs in the UK than a ham sandwich.Today Moslems reportedly make up 4% of the population of the United Kingdom, yet 91% of those convicted for child rape, grooming of girls for sexual exploitation, and child prostitution are done by English Muslim men.
    The British news media and newspapers try to hide the statistics and tries not to mention the FACT that Muslim men have been behind the large numbers of child rapes, grooming young girls to be prostitutes and exploiting them. The girl victims are not from the Moslem community, but from non-Muslim, mostly white Brit girls, or Sikh and Hindu Asian girls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pge53WOIcrY

    Who are they trying to fool?Using turkey ham and bacon in place of the real products? That just doesn’t cut it! Turkey ham and bacon are very different than real ham and bacon. Let the muslims have their Subway, and frequent other sandwich shops that aren’t so quick to bend to muslim insistence. Perhaps, eventually, Subway will feel the monetary pinch and bring back pork products. Have to remember this is the west, not the mid east!

  • Matt Dickinson

    There was just a commercial for Progressive auto insurance where she says at the end “… where you’ll be bringing home the bacon in no time! (Turkey bacon. Be sensitive).”

    It is simply not true that muslims have to eat ‘halal food’.. there is entirely no such thing as non halal food.. according to the quran.. the only requirement to make any food halal.. permitted.. is to pray over it! Ideally it shouldn’t contain pork blood and carrion .. but even if it does it can be permitted in certain circumstances.. i.e when one is NOT in a muslim country.. when one doesn’t know there is contraband in the product.. when one can not find anything else that is specifically halal.. nothing at all to do with certification. Muslim scholars have perpetuated this lie so they can cream us with halal certifications and compliance’s.. the halal industry is a money making racket that has nothing to do with religious principles or adherence, and everything to do with money. All observant muslims know that most food is by its nature permitted.. all they have to do is say a prayer over ANY food to make it halal.. Muslims scholars have substituted God’s condition for making food lawful (which is through uttering God’s name on it before eating it) by a new un-Quranic condition of their own making…God knows that many Muslims will be living in the middle of Christians and Jews and will be sharing their food and for this reason God made it perfectly lawful for Muslims to eat the food of the people of the Scripture (Jews/Christians):The first reason is that (unless you are a butcher) you are not the person who has slaughtered the animal on your dinner table, and since the Quran is clear in holding people accountable only to their own work, then the only certain way to confirm that the name of God has been uttered on the meat is for each person to utter God’s name on the food before eating it.

    “Every human being is responsible only for his own works.” 53:39

    The Quran makes it clear that the utterance of God’s name should be before eating and not before killing the animal .

    2- The spiritual reason behind uttering God’s name on our food before eating it is given in 16:114. This is to constantly remember and be appreciative of God’s blessings on us:

    “Therefore, you shall eat from God’s provisions everything that is lawful and good, and be appreciative of God’s blessings, if you do worship Him alone.” 16:114

    This act of appreciation for God’s blessings would not belong to us if we rely on someone else, in a slaughter house, uttering God’s name.

    3- By reading 6:114, we note that the command of uttering God’s name is related to what we eat in general and not just meat. Thus this equally applies to fruit, vegetables, biscuits, peanuts … etc … plus all types of drinks. Consequently, and since we cannot slaughter an apple nor a glass of orange juice, then the only method to obey God’s law is to utter His name before eating all foods (and not just meat).

    4- If we read 5:5, we note that God made it lawful for us to eat the food of the people of the Scripture (Jews, Christians). But as non Muslims may not utter the name of God before killing the animal, yet their food is still lawful for us (5:5), this would only prove that the utterance of God’s name before slaughtering an animal is not a requirement as far as God is concerned. It also confirms that the duty is laid on each of us (to utter God’s name) before eating our food and nothing else.

    5- God knows that one day slaughter houses will be run by stun guns and machines, which once again emphasises the fact that it is our own responsibility to utter His name on all food before eating it.

    Sadly, we see many Muslims today, and because of their obsession with the restriction of slaughtering, buying and eating what they are told is halal meat, yet when they eat other food (e.g. fruit or vegetables) they ignore God’s command to utter His name on it. Hence, and since they ignored God’s commands and followed man made innovations, they are in fact eating a lot of food that is unlawful according to the Quranic rules.

    “Today, all good food is made lawful for you. The food of the people of the Scripture (Jews & Christians) is lawful (halal) for you ……” 5:5

    The Quranic law is for all times and thus this concession applied when the Quran was first revealed as well as it does today.

    Moreover, God has also specified a very important criteria for His true believers with regards to food: Mention God’s name on everything you are going to eat. See 5:4, & 6:118-119,

    “You shall eat from that upon which God”s name has been pronounced, if you truly believe in His revelation.” 6:118

    “Why should you not eat from that upon which God’s name has been mentioned ? He has detailed for you what is prohibited for you, unless you are forced. Indeed, many people mislead others with their personal opinions, without knowledge. Your Lord is fully aware of the transgressors.” 6:119 NO legitimate requirement for certified halal food.. it is a money making scam and jobs for the boys.. that is it.. it is a massive con. http://www.quran-islam.org/articles/halal_meat_(P1156).html

    It is discrimination.. It is forcing people who aren’t religious to participate in rituals that are said to be about religion is discrimination and against human rights.. it is contrary to freedom of conscience.. Article 9 Human Rights Act. regarding Freedom of Conscience – should give us the right to religious and secular freedom,i.e. to not be forced to participate in religious rites.Dedicating this meat to a god violates this right: hence there is forced participation in another’s religion without consent.

    Also Jews, Sikhs & Christians are specifically instructed not to eat this meat, so where is their religious freedom? It is also discriminatory against non muslim work force.. specifically employing muslims to oversea compliance to the halal conditions that only muslims want. excludes non-muslims.. also excludes non muslims from tendering contracts for meat and other produce, in those 185 outlets.. but the buns are the same in ALL subways.. regardless of the 185 stores advertising they are halal they are ALL using the same supplier for the buns? non muslim meat traders are excluded from tendering an application to be considered a supplier “unfair competition” . .. Also.. these islamic compliance’s aren’t fee, they cost thousands of pounds.. all money paid to ‘muslim charities’ which for example goes towards building more mosques.. 1/8th towards ‘freedom fighters” terrorism. http://www.shariahfinancewatch.org/blog/category/islamic-charities/ Also this cost of certification has got to be recouped somehow.. added on to the price you all pay for the subs..anyone who buys from subway is supporting islam one way or another.. Why should consumers have to pay for something they did not ask for and for something they are not informed about, and is being used for projects/activities that only benefit muslims

    If muslims use halal on the basis of safety factor in non-muslim countries especially there is no requirement to have a cost to the halal certification and the fee-element for halal must be removed forthwith as a compromise to the damage done. Halal is a Sharia Law requirement of Islam and non-Muslims in non-Muslim nations should not be required to follow such as a mandatory measure!

    Most of the Halal companies themselves are established as ‘charities’ and therefore are exempt from taxes. In the UK some of these halal companies have defaulted and closed shop making off with the money or opening another company under a different name. Meat codes are being used to hide the fact that the meat comes from certified Halal slaughter centers. All those millions of pounds collected in halal certifications is being used only for muslims.. some to build more mosques… educate yourselves on which companies have halal certification and boycott them all! Boycott halal all the way!

    “At present, the only legal exemptions to stunning during slaughter exist
    for kosher and halal methods of slaughter, however, it is important to
    differentiate between ‘religious’ and ‘non-stun’ slaughter as around 90
    per cent of all halal in the UK receives a stun before slaughter”. – this is mainly rubbish. There is no difference between “religious” and “non-stun slaughter” and certainly not as far as the animal is concerned. A full stun will make the meat “Haram” and not permissible to Muslims – fact. So don’t be fooled into thinking that your meat has been humanely produced. The stun they are talking about is a minimal low voltage stun than paralyses the animal for 10/15 seconds but doesn’t make it insensible to pain. It is used so producers can fool Joe Public. The two main monitoring v bodies in this coubtry, The Halal Monitoring Committee, and the Halal Foods Association are quite clear on their websites that they do not support full (stun-to-kill) stunning, nor the use of a captive bolt pistol on cattle. Check out their websites if you want the whole picture.

    its NOT ALL UK SUBWAY SHOPS! GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT!

    • Lycanite

      It shouldn’t even be one, if they don’t like it, they should go back to their own country! I’m not racist but I’m not going to be pushed around either! Therer are many other foreign cultures in the UK and they have never demanded that we change our ways. Watch and see, soon it will be in supermarkets and eventually illegal!

  • RationalRithul

    Halal isn’t vicious. Halal is better than our western slaughter houses.

    I was pissed off at first as I thought subway had made this damning decision for every store and I thought that that was totally wrong. Then found out that its up to each store, they have the freedom to choose – and that’s what makes this country great – freedom.

    The UK is the most multicultural country, ham has not been legally banned and it won’t be. We should be proud that we are liberal and allow such freedom for all of us. No one is hurt by this.

  • kunted

    never had a subway and never will

  • Pissoffbigots

    All of you are fucking idiots!! It’s only in stores on predominantly Muslim areas it’s less than ten percent of subway stores. How fucking narrowminded can you be. Wake up to the fact you are all being brainwashed by the right wing media to get angry at muslims instead of the government who are really fucking up this country. Jesus you bigots should all go and kill yourselves and take your retarded DNA out of the gene pool.
