Muslims Get Their Way And Still Want More

Talk about a case of giving an inch and taking a mile! LittleGreenFootballs reports on a story from the University of Toronto at Scarborough where an on-campus restaurant started offering halal meals for Muslim students. The change was the result of numerous requests from students and faculty.

Guess what? That's not good enough.

Now that Muslims there have the particular kind of food they want, they -- led by the Muslim Students Association -- are demanding accommodations for the entire atmosphere of the restaurant, too:
"[M]any MSA members say that any establishment that also serves alcohol and plays dance music is an unsuitable environment for their dietary needs."

Some students said the restaurant, in failing to accommodate those who prefer not to eat at an alcoholic establishment, made more of a negative gesture than a positive one with the menu option.

"If this was a deliberate accommodation, it’s kind of offensive in giving us the food in a manner unsuitable to us," said Ahmad Jaballah, a former MSA executive and current Scarborough Campus Students Union VP.
Are you kidding me? Are they going to demand all female students and faculty start covering their faces and walk behind the men, too? If this atmosphere is so 'unsuitable', why do they go to the restaurant at all? In fact, if America itself is so 'unsuitable', why don't they go back over to the Middle East where Islam rules absolutely?

Oh, yeah, because when Islam rules absolutely, people get tortured, oppressed, and killed on a daily basis.

Get real.

There's my two cents.
