UK: Muslim care home staff stopped residents from having bacon sandwiches

Mar 16, 2016 5:19 pm By Robert Spencer

In Muslim countries, non-Muslims must conform their behavior to Muslim sensibilities. And in non-Muslim countries, non-Muslims must conform their behavior to Muslim sensibilities.

Wagtail-Close-Bradford

Sharia UK Update: “Muslim care home staff stopped elderly residents having bacon sandwiches, report finds,” by Nicola Harley, Telegraph, March 16, 2016:

A council-run care service has been told to improve after staff refused to help a client buy pork pies and stopped them having bacon sandwiches for breakfast because of their cultural beliefs.

A new report by inspectors, who visited Wagtail Close in Buttershaw, Bradford, West Yorkshire, unannounced in January, found the actions of some staff were restricting people’s right of choice and not everyone was getting food that met their personal preferences.

Examples included one patient who liked to have a bacon sandwich for breakfast each day and bought ham, sausages and pork pies when they went shopping, but said a number of staff would not support them to buy or cook those products because of their cultural requirements or lifestyle preferences.

“This meant that staff were not providing support that was responsive to the person’s preferences and were restricting the person’s right to choice. The person said they had raised their concern with senior staff members but nothing had been done about it,” said the report.

Wagtail Close has a respite care facility and is home to people living with physical disabilities, sensory loss, brain injury or learning disabilities.

At the time of the inspection the service was providing respite care to just one person with 24 people living in its homes on the close.

Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspectors also found staff training was not up to date and there was no system in place to overview accidents and keep check for any themes or trends.

The inspectors also looked at accident forms and found there were not any follow-ups, neither was there any space on the forms for the manager to sign to say they had seen it.

Complaints about the service were not being well-managed and accidents as well as complaints were also not being audited effectively, the report added.

Despite inspectors finding the service needed to make improvement in a total of three areas covering safety, effectiveness and how it is led, people did tell inspectors they felt safe and that staff were good.

People in the supported living facilities at Wagtail Close also told inspectors staff were prompt to arrive to give them home help and always stayed for the time planned.

A person using the respite facility also said staff were always available if needed and responded quickly to the call bell.

The inspectors also reported staff were aware of infection control procedures and the respite unit was clean.

A Bradford Council Adult and Community Services spokesman said: “There has recently been a change in the registered management arrangements at Wagtail.

“We are pleased to read that people who used both respite and domiciliary care services knew the new manager and felt they were supportive of their care.

“An improvement plan has been drawn up which will urgently address the issues raised by the recent CQC inspection.

“All Wagtail Close care staff have been reminded that their own lifestyles and cultural preferences should never influence the person-centred support they provide to service users.”…

    Not allowing a patient to have the foods they desire is a number one No No from a Nursing point of view. Here, a caregiver would be written up for this, and if it happens again, fired. I have no tolerance for this! How long has this care facility been running? If it is not new, the people in power should take into consideration that these caregivers KNEW the rules, but blatantly ignored them.

          Another case of these “tolerant” Muslims seeking to impose their beliefs upon the infidels. I put tolerant in quote because Shillary Clinton stated that most Muslims are tolerant. It is clear that Shillary is on the side of the Islamists.

      Heaven help the “care worker” who got between me and my BLT! I, too, have a little long term care experience, and catering to the residents’ preferences, and keeping them safe, are paramount.

      Residents of these facilities often have little social life or fun outside the facility, so it’s imperative to allow them preferences wherever possible, and pleasures like a nice piece of bacon.

      According to the Bible, swine is forbidden to eat. The swine was created by the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob as a vacuum sweeper for the waste on the earth. Even though islam Does not believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob, they are right that swine is not food for humans

      • linnte says

        Mar 17, 2016 at 2:33 pm

        Susan, your supposition is incorrect. Swine, as you say, USED to carry fluke worms that would infect people too, if eaten. Just like bear today. The Ancients knew pork was potentially lethal to eat for this reason. TODAY we know that, if well cooked pork holds no danger whatsoever. And the fluke is now not present in the pig population. I have eaten bear many times, and they STILL have flukes! If it is cooked well, no danger. Food for old people is one of the only ONLY sources of pleasure. If they WANT pork, they should HAVE pork. For crimminy sake, they have been eating it their whole life! And also, the New Testament deals with “to eat or not to eat” question quite well.

        • linnte says

          Mar 18, 2016 at 6:01 pm

          Bear is very greasy meat and the muscle grain is more pronounced than in beef or elk. It has a flavor that I can only describe as gamey or wild and there is a sweetness to it. I think the blackberries they eat here has a lot to do with that! The meat is usually ground to make a summer sausage, but we make an occasional bear pie which is excellent. Not many people eat bear meat as a “steak” because it is pretty tough, but does smoke on the BBQ very nicely. My son is an avid hunter-bear, elk, deer, coon, and bobcat. If he kills it we eat it. It is disgusting to us to kill something just for a trophy.

    “Wagtail Close”? I had to look up “close” to find that it is a British term that means “a narrow street or passageway; also, a dead-end street”. What cultural insensitivity to name a street after after a tail-wagging, saliva-drooling dog! See this compilation of what the Prophet (pbuh) thought about dogs:

        That’s what I’m afraid of too. The patients may feel that their care providers were kind. But any health care worker who puts their personal dietary rituals ahead of a patient’s needs or preferences has tipped their hand in several ways.

        The Islamists work inch by inch. Bacon today, endless inculcation of vile Sharia tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow….

    Human rights were being violated here.
    If this facility employed Muslims knowing that these Muslims will not allow any pork products to be around them then the management is in breach of agreement to provide adequate care.
    Unless relatives of the residents there start suing, nothing will ever change and will only get worse.
    Start a collective lawsuit against the facility and see how quickly they change.
    If my elderly parent was there I definitely would go after them.

    We must all ask everywhere we go whether we are being served ‘ETHICAL MEAT’, i.e. from an animal that has been ethically stunned before it is slaughtered.

    We should tell all restaurants, ‘I oppose cruelty to animals. I can only eat ethical meat.’

    This is called ‘civilizational jihad’ or ‘insertion jihad’ or ‘hejira’, the ‘peaceful jihad’ that comes before increasing violence is used to implement discriminatory Sharia against the will of the host community.

    Mar 16, 2016 at 7:41 pm

    The problem is that when a muzzrat applies for a job (as occasionally they do), it is considered racist and islamaphobic to refuse them the position, especially in a densely populated islamic area such as Bradford. So these poor patients have no option but to put up with this nonsense..

    Mar 16, 2016 at 9:07 pm

    I can’t imagine anyone being forced to reframe from Bacon and pork if they do not keep kosher….it is there right and privilege to make their own choices- and there is nothing in this preference that diminishes them. Those who are diminished are those who took from the disabled and elderly and prevented them from their life. I have a kosher home but this is a Jewish law for jews and no one else is so ordered. And If a jew doesn’t keep kosher, well, that’s their choice too. As for some disabled and or elderly brits, they who are not even jewish have no obligation to give up bacon or pork or any of that that.

    • Kathy Brown, Esq. says

      Mar 16, 2016 at 9:20 pm

      Goldberg, what an important point you cite. Namely, that Jewish law governs only Jews-by the way so too with Canon Law, which pertains only to Catholics. Hmmm…isn’t that the ‘Judeo-Christian’ foundation of Western civilization? In direct contrast to islam, sharia…

      That’s what makes islam fascist. No free will. Force. Deadly force.

    Mar 16, 2016 at 9:08 pm

    Perhaps it will be the food factor that will finally trip public anti-Islamic sentiment in the UK. Halal slaughter and Islamic hatred of the Englishman’s favourite pet, the dog have not yet caused any public backlash against Islam, neither have the Rotterdam sexual assault scandals. Perhaps if elderly patients in rest homes, nursing homes & care homes have to give up their traditional favourites foods, this certainly includes bacon, pork pies as well as pork sausages there will finally be an outcry.

    But also, most people in any sort of care find it confronting,intimidating and totally unprofessional to be attended to by staff in Islamic headgear. Dear old England, please wake up this is all so wrong!

      Mar 17, 2016 at 7:39 am

      Yes the food factor may very well prove decisive in the long term. Although progress is still frustratingly slow, there are lots of animal welfare orgs very active in the UK. The RSPCA is particularly powerful. The transition to free range chickens is going so well that people are now turning their attention to pigs. I take hope from the fact that even though farrowing crates are legal in Britian, still 40% of british sows are not subjected to them. Presumably, it is the larger factory farms who are the culprits, so one can deduce the majority of british pig farmers do not use them. .

        OK. You know that bar at the top of the computer, where, for example, you type in jihadwatch. So, you type in bbc – labelling of pork. When you get to the site, click on it. Its ‘url’ (?) will then appear in the bar. Take the mouse, rightclick over the url until it turns blue, click on copy. Apparently this saves it. Then, in your comment, right click, then click on ‘paste’. The link will then appear.

          The Muslim author of this article ostensibly seems quite reasonable, but I think the phrase “who are moderates not militants will feel strongly that they wish to eat meat killed by the customary halal methods – and they have a perfect right to do so” , reveals their stealth jihadism.

    “Woman died after Muslim nurse refused to help as he was praying”

    An elderly woman was left on the floor at a care home for up to ten minutes because a nurse was praying, an inquest heard.

      One may note that in the Gospels, Jesus says to the overly-rigid Pharisees: “The Sabbath was made for Man, and not Man for the Sabbath.” This means, of course, that rest and prayer are important, but in emergencies, one can (and should) bend the rules and correctly prioritize in order to tend to the emergency. In this case, the Muslim worker should have tended to the woman right away, and resumed his prayer later.

    The Muslims that run a care home nearby always have that obvious grin of just committed conspiratorial wickedness about the subjugated Infidels they’ve just left.
    Even 30+ years ago Infidels were being treated badly as lower beings by arrogant Muslims, i did see. That’s a truth.
    A criminal told me recently that in prison if the call “DON’T EAT THE PORRIDGE” goes out, then that means that there is sperm in the porridge, which reminds of buying hummus from a Muslim takeaway.
    The Muslims have it in for infidels in every way and every day.
    That’s a truth.

    It will be interesting to see what the CQC actually DOES about these numerous deficiencies and non-compliances?

    They might do NOTHING, because they ‘fear being thought to be racist’. Council Social Services departments and other organisations in the North of England don’t have a good track record. They, and the police, ‘looked the other way’ instead of investigating the Muslim gangs grooming and raping non-Muslim teenage girls in Rotherham, Rochdale, Oldham, etc.

    These dietary restrictions were created to make the Jews feel special and separate from surrounding peoples, Mohammad adopted them from Judaism along with all the other things he ‘borrowed’ to
    make his religion/cult. They are complete bulls**t and have no scientific basis whatever religion they are practised in and it is time for everybody concerned to dismiss them.
    The mere idea that ‘god’ created everything and then forbids people to make use of certain things and even to cut bits of people to please him is also nonsensicle. Why bother to create things just to forbid them?

      Mar 19, 2016 at 5:21 am

      What About these Health Laws is there anything to them?

      In Leviticus 11–20, where these laws are first outlined in detail, we find that “the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them, ‘Speak to the children of Israel, saying, “These are the animals which you may eat” (Leviticus 11: 1-2) This same introductory statement precedes the enumeration of other health laws in the book of Leviticus. According to the Bible, the author of the biblical health laws was not Moses—but God Himself! God explained to the Israelites that if they obeyed His commandments they would experience “none of the diseases” that plagued other nations (Exodus 15:26). God gave these laws to His chosen people so they could be an example to the world! God wanted their better health to be noticed by surrounding nations who could then inquire how they, too, could gain the same results (Deuteronomy 4:1-8). While some theologians have naively suggested that these “regulations” were given to Israelites to punish them for their disobedience, these laws were actually given by a God of love to show human beings a better way to live. The health laws were to be taught by the priests, because of their fundamental importance!

      These lists [of clean and unclean creatures] have a significance often ignored. Far from being based on fad or fancy, these lists emphasize a fact not discovered until late in the last century… that animals carry diseases dangerous to man. In fact, the same animals labeled unclean in Scripture still carry parasitic diseases that are still dangerous to human beings today!

      “Clean” land animals are ruminants—grazing animals such as cattle, sheep, deer and elk—whose digestive tracts are designed to turn grass that human beings cannot digest into meat that we can digest. Most unclean animals are carnivores or scavengers that can transmit dangerous diseases to human beings. Pigs eat roots and grains, rather than grass, and thus are ecological competitors to human beings. Clean fish have fins and scales. Unclean aquatic organisms like clams and oysters are filter feeders that purify water, and that concentrate poisonous chemicals and pathologic bacteria and viruses in their tissues. Eating an oyster is like eating your vacuum cleaner bag—yet modern connoisseurs do not like to think about this! Crabs and lobsters are scavengers that eat dead things on the bottom of bodies of water. Most unclean birds are carnivores or scavengers. God in His wisdom inspired laws that protect humans from contracting dangerous diseases, but also protect “nature’s clean up crew” by making them “off limits” as food for mankind . These biological principles still operate today. As a point of illustration: the SARS outbreak was traced to an area in southern China where civet cats (an unclean animal) are eaten as a delicacy!

      However, the laws of clean and unclean meats are not the only biblical instructions that concern diet. In Leviticus 3:17, we read that “you shall eat neither fat nor blood”
      (Leviticus 7:23-27). One of the most significant discoveries in the last century was that high fat diets are linked to increased levels of heart disease, stroke, cancer of the colon and breast and a host of other pathologies—including obesity—that bring additional complications. Our challenge is to learn to recognize major sources of fat in our diet (visible fats on meat, fatty cuts of meat—like bacon, generous amounts of heavy dressings, spoonfuls of oil, etc.), and reduce our intake of fats that are high in calories and often high in saturated fats. It has also become painfully obvious in recent decades that contaminated blood and blood products can transmit AIDS and hepatitis. The simple principle of avoiding fat and blood is a powerful principle of prevention—if it is followed—because it still works today!

      Biblical principles also cover the use of plant foods—carbohydrates. Ezekiel was instructed to make a nutritious bread from “wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet and spelt” (Ezekiel 4:9). This was a multigrain bread containing complex carbohydrates for energy, different kinds of fiber and multiple amino acids for proteins and bodybuilding. It was not a highly refined product like today’s common breads that have most of their nutrients removed, then are misleadingly called “enriched” when a few nutrients are added back. The Bible advises us to use sweets like honey or other simple sugars sparingly(Proverbs 25: 16; 27). We are warned against overeating—gluttony (Proverbs 28:7). Modern books on health give the same advice! The biblical dietary guidelines are not old-fashioned, burdensome regulations—they are divinely inspired guidelines that have taken mankind’s science thousands of years to understand!

      Many sincere religious people believe it is evil and sinful to drink alcohol. Yet, when we look at the biblical health guidelines, we find that drunkenness is what is sinful—not the use of alcohol. Warnings against the misuse of alcohol run throughout the Bible ( Genesis 9:20-21; Ephesians 5:18; 1 Peter 4:13). Yet, it is worth noting that Jesus’ first miracle was turning water into wine at a wedding feast ( John 2: 1-11). He would not have done this if drinking alcohol were a sin! However, priests were forbidden to drink on the job (Leviticus 10:9). Paul advises Timothy about the medicinal value of wine for an upset stomach (1 Timothy 5:3). The beneficial effects of moderate amounts of alcohol have been one of the surprises of modern medical studies. People who use alcohol in moderation—a glass of wine a day—have fewer heart attacks than alcohol abusers or total abstainers! Elderly people with digestive problems caused by a lack of stomach acid experience improvement when they take a small glass of wine with meals. Biblical instructions about alcohol are in harmony with scientific evidence, and are still applicable today. We may use alcohol, but we must develop character to use it properly.

      Did Jesus do away with fundamentally important biblical laws concerning human health? Those who believe this usually cite Mark 7 and Acts 10. Some Bible translations of Mark 7: 18-19 say: “Jesus declared all foods clean”—yet other translations render the verse differently. When you compare Mark 7 with a similar account in Matthew 15, you find that Jesus was not even addressing the subject of clean or unclean foods—the issue in question was eating without a ceremonial washing of the hands! Acts 10 describes Peter’s vision of a sheet coming down from heaven containing unclean animals that he is told three times to kill and eat. Peter, who had been trained by Christ for more than three years, understood that this was wrong and resisted! While Peter pondered the meaning of the vision (Acts 10:17), several Gentiles arrived at his home. On hearing their mission, Peter grasped the meaning of the vision: “God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean” (Acts 10: 28). According to Scripture, Peter did not conclude from this vision that the laws of clean and unclean foods had been eliminated. This is confirmed by a prophecy that indicates when Christ returns He will bring judgment on idol worshipers and those who persist in eating unclean animals (Isaiah 66:15-17).

    If you don’t want to eat bacon. Good for you! Don’t buy it at the store. Don’t order it in a restaurant.
    BUT, if you work in a store that sells bacon, keep your slimy muslim lips SHUT!
    Or, if you serve tables in a restaurant, simply say; “Yes Sir! Double Bacon sandwich, coming right up!
    Other wise, you are always free to return to the HELL HOLES you came from!
