Subway doesn't have any real meat anyway. It's all flavored meat glue and fat.

So here is the plan. YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?


Every Englishman who loves his country should go to these Subways, place a big order for sandwiches, and last minute tell them they want BACON on it. The worker will say, "sorry we have no bacon." Then you walk out the door and tell them to go to hell!

SUCK IT SUBWAY!

Most who don't understand, do not realise that this has nothing to do with muslims.
This decision was made inhead office in America. Muslims were not even involved or aware of this until it was announced.
So, why are you blaming them for this?

I can understand arguments regarding imams who spew terrorism etc etc. Those are valid points. But you lot spewing hate towards totally innocent people in this particular case only makes you as ad as the muslim imam who spews hate.
I just don't get your logic. Specially the english posters here

The problem is not that Subway is preventing the sale of pork products in the UK...the problem is that this reveals again that there are SO MANY MUSLIMS in the UK to make this a worthwhile business decision. The UK has a serious Muslim problem - what do you do when 10% of your population is completely different from you, follows a prosletyzing religion and hates your way of life? These immigration policies - and ours in the US - are MOST unwise. I don't envision a good end here.

Re: Say good by to your country!! Nearly 200 Subway restaurants across the United Kingdom no longer serve bacon or ham
I Never been in a subway , it's disgusting anyway ...fake bread , fake salami , fake cheese , but hey it's just 2 pounds...

I got a bacon roll for £1:60 'and a cup of coffee , there is no way I am going to change my breakfast ....is cheap is healthy and above all tasty!!! , if you don't sell bacon or ham I don't buy nothing from your shop, how about that ?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 46298673


This is where media is missleading you.
You can buy bacon and ham anytime you want from subway. At the same time you won't be able to buy bacon and ham in areas that you never set foot in.
Listen carefully
Only the outlets that are located predominantly in Asian areas follow this scheme.
But then again this is not a rule and its not forced upon the owners of franchise to take bacon off the menu. It is totally up to them.
The owners in these areas will certainly follow this scheme, because their trade will triple for sure.

Asians tend to stay loyal once a trust is established. So here we have a local area subway outlet. Owners are Asian. All workers are Asian and everone who passes by are mostly Asians. All they need to establish trust is to provide food to their liking. What is wrong with that?
Come to think about it, it makes perfect sense to try and cater for all those who pass by. That is how you run a business.

Don't forget two things here
1. This decision of allowing the owners of franchise to make their own choice has been made in head office in america and has nothing to do with muslims.
2. Subway has been doing exact same thing in outlets in usa for years but instead of muslims they catered for the jews. Two different religions and yet in both cases ham and bacon were taken off the menu. And instead of halal meat, Kosher was introduced.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56602579


Yes you right and in-fact I am not arguing with the shop, or with the people or what people think is right or wrong to eat ,this is not a political / or religious or anti religious statement !
as far I can get my cheese and Ham or bacon and eggs roll, I am ok,
when in some areas ,"Downtown" I can't find my food , I am still ok I just need to wait a little more...
I don't buy "strange food" , honestly "kebabs" is not the food I eat , I would be sick in a week.
But you are free to eat all the kind of food you want,
I am not going to stop you.
Can I do the same?
Like be free to eat my bacon roll and shop where I think they care about my bacon ?
I really don't care about religion, is not about that , is about what I like to eat and what I will never eat.
Sorry if I offended anyone.

I am sure they do, and probably do keep them separate, but the point is the kosher deli realizes that not everyone is Jewish and if they want a successful business that they had better find a way to cater to many people, not just Jews...

See the problem with this Subway thing is that they are surrendering the neighborhood to one group at the exclusion of all others and assuming that NO ONE other than muzz will be in that neighborhood...

Do you see the unspoken, unacknowledged segregation?

Please don't insult our intelligence. Obviously I'm referring to Islam. I SAY that IN the post. Any country who allows in millions of prosletyzing immigrants from other countries with a different culture, particularly one whose leaders repeatedly say they hate the West, is run by insane people. I don't see any Muslim countries letting in millions of Christians, indeed, what I see in many is the persecution of Christians OBVIOUSLY because THEY understand my point.

As for color, I could care less, but that as well can create problems as people tend to want to stick with their own. Why create your own race problem like the US did. It never made any sense to me.

Of course they were.
Removed because of "strong demand to remove pork and offer halal sacrificed meats"
This did not come from non- Muslims. This strong demand was from Muslims. So the franchisees - not some office in. America - elected to cater the entire menu to Muslims despite having some non-Muslim customers who eat pork.

It probably has more to do with the selling of franchises and the staffing of the shops. If Muslims own or want to buy the franchise, as is very likely in some areas, and the majority of the staff in those shops are Muslim then it makes sense to make them Halal.

Stop bleating on, you eat Halal every time you get Britains favourite take away....curry!
