This story is a classic illustration of why anyone is concerned about Islam at all: not out of some random “bigotry” or “racism,” but because Islamic supremacists force non-Muslims to abide by Muslim laws and customs. And then there’s also that little matter of the violent jihad.
“Muslim group wants ban on open selling of pork in Penang,” by Looi Sue-Chern for the Malaysian Insider, January 24 (thanks to Bren):
Tensions went up a notch in Penang today when a Muslim non-governmental organisation demanded that local authorities ban the open selling of pork in the state.
Solidarity and Charity Organisation (Isco) claimed that the selling of pork openly was a disregard to Muslim sensitivity in the state.
Its president, Abdul Rahman Makhtun, said in a letter to Penang Island Municipal Council (MPPP) president Datuk Patahiyah Ismail today that the council should be more aware of Muslim sensitivity as the animal was haram in Islam.
“Isco is worried that pork sellers are getting braver in selling the meat around George Town in places like Lebuh Chulia, Jalan Kuantan, Jalan C.Y. Choy and other locations.
“We ask MPPP to take action against the insensitive pork sellers by stopping or making the open selling of pork illegal. We also call for action against illegal hawkers and businesses,” he said in the letter….

Umm, excuse me, but you head-banging arselifters are forbidden from consuming pork only.
Oh, wait…you don’t like dogs, either! Stupid me!

RACIST! Selling pork is so ‘racist’! Well, maybe it’s a problem in the Reliance of the Traveller and the Pact of Omar!
OK…this is just religious persecution disguised as ‘moderation’…if they don’t get what they want, they will no doubt be ‘forced’ to be ‘intolerant’ and ‘immoderate’ in punishment. I guess the Muslims will have to ‘terrorize’ the kafirs (Koran 8.60) and make war on the disbelievers.

we are having a problem with wild bores in the US lets send them a few hundred

My word. Talk about chutzpah! Yes indeed. This is why all non-muslims in the West – at least those who have a brain in their heads and are not paralyzed by the PCMC virus – should demand an end to all muslim immigration. Check out those in the West. If they are agitating for “special” accommodations, boot them out – now!

Malaysia: Muslim group demands ban on open sale of pork
………………………………..
Of course they do. This is classic dhimmitude, where Infidels may not do anything that “offends” Muslims.
More:

………………………………..
“Sensitivity” only goes one way. The imposition of Shari’ah law cares nothing for the sensitivities of Infidels, even as it lays Islamic strictures on them.
More:
“We ask MPPP to take action against the insensitive pork sellers by stopping or making the open selling of pork illegal. We also call for action against illegal hawkers and businesses,” he said in the letter….
………………………………..
in other words, it’s not just that they want the “open” selling of pork to be illegal_they want *any* sales to be illegal.
And it is well to understand that this is not just happening in Malaysia—pious Muslims want to impose Shari’ah on *all* Infidels.
Vigilant says
This ammunition should work without a hitch….

If Malaysia is a Taliban country,Sarawak would never joined it in1963. Moreover,Sarawak is not what we called “Tanah Melayu”.
Peggy says
So they want to force the minority in their country to stop eating pork.
Then they want to force the majority in Australia to buy Halal products by organizing that over 70% of all our goods in supermarket shelves are Halal certified.
There is no give and take with Muslims. They just take.

This attempt to prevent non-Muslims in Malaysia from selling pork in public, is an attempt to impose one of the many, many, many draconian and mean-minded Rules For Dhimmis: the restrictions imposed upon non-Muslims living in the dubious “protection” of an Islamic state.
Here’s the relevant portion of the Reliance of the Traveller, a classic handbook of sharia “law”, written in the middle ages but still well known and popular amongst Sunni Muslims today.
QUOTE
“o11.5
‘…non-Muslim subjects are obliged to comply with Islamic rules that pertain to the safety and indemnity of life, reputation, and property.
‘In addition, they:
‘(1) are penalized for committing adultery or theft, though not for drunkenness;
‘(2) are distinguished from Muslims in dress, wearing a wide cloth belt (zunnar);
‘(3) are not greeted with “as-Salamu alaykum”;
(4) must keep to the side of the street;
‘ (5) may not build higher than or as high as the Muslims’ buildings, though if they acquire a tall house, it is not razed;
‘(6) **are forbidden to openly display wine or pork**,
‘(A: to ring church bells or display crosses,)
‘recite the Torah or Evangel aloud,
‘or make public display of their funerals and feast-days;
”(7) and are forbidden to build new churches.” END QUOTE.
There it is, rule number 6: the dhimmis “are forbidden to openly display wine or pork”.
