The most ridiclous concession to Muslim sensibilities thread.

[Cujo]

This has got to be a contender.
In my view this is just pathetic. On the part of muslims to claim they are 'offended' by a smell, and on the part of officialdom for taking the claim to offense seriously.
They should be fucking grateful it's not a sewer.
The upheavel one asshole can create. Why don't the council tell him to just go fuck himself.

Cafe fan banned in case smell of bacon offends Muslims

A cafe owner was ordered to remove an extractor fan because the smell of her frying bacon offended passing Muslims.

Planning officials acted against Beverley Akciecek, 49, after being told her next door neighbour's Muslim friends had felt ''physically sick'' due to the ''foul odour.''

The fan has been in Beverley's Snack Shack takeaway in the Shaw Heath area of the town for the past three years.



And the mother-of-seven whose husband Cetin, 50, is himself a Turkish Muslim work more than fifty hours a week buying, preparing and cooking hot and cold sandwiches and hot-pots for their customers.
But neighbour Graham Webb-Lee complained that his Muslim friends refused to visit him becase they ''can't stand the smell of bacon.''
And councillors at Liberal Democrat run Stockport Council in Greater Manchester ruled the 'odours given off from the vent were unacceptable for neighbouring residents.'
Mrs Akciecek who plans to appeal against the decision said, "I just think it's just crazy. Cetin's friends actually visit the shop, they're regular visitors, they're Muslim people, the come in a couple of times a week.
''I have Muslim people come in for cheese toasties. Cetin cooks the food himself, he cooks the bacon.
"When we go to a cafe my husband wouldn't be offended by the smell of bacon. His friends are not offended by it, we have three visitors who come here for a sandwich, friends of my husband, and the smell doesn't offend them at all.
''My brother-in-law doesn't flinch if he comes and we've just taken out three trays of bacon."
The couple took over the take-away on Adswood Road in Cale Green, Stockport, in 2007 from the previous owner and replaced the exisiting extractor fan, which had been there for six years, with a new modern one.
They claim they received no complaints about the cafe which is open from 7.30am-2.30pm six days a week, until around eighteen months ago when they received a letter from environmental services to say Mr Webb-Lee had complained about the smell.
"We've never had a problem about the smell because everything is pre-cooked," said Mrs Akciecek.
"We cook it in the oven so there's no foul smell. It's pre-cooked so the smell isn't as strong when we're frying it off. It's like living next to someone who's cooking a Sunday breakfast but it's not constant it's just in the morning.
"It's been a sandwich shop for about eight years, cooking exactly the same stuff. The lady before me did double because they were actually building new houses across the road so she was really busy. She was here from 6am-4pm because they were so busy.
"They were there before me but they were also there when the lady who owns the business was here and she was doing double what we are. She had five staff, you can imagine how bust that shop was and they never complained at all."
They say that Environmental services had been out to inspect their property after their neighbour complained about a foul odour last year, but they ruled that the smell was not causing a problem.
"Environmental services said everything is ok. They kept coming back and guaging it and said there was no problem and because they didn't take any action they complained again," she added.
The couple had never applied for planning permission as they had simply replaced an existing extractor fan with one of the same size and in the same position, but, following further complaints from their neighbour, they were informed by the council they would have to apply retrospectively as an objection had been raised.
They applied for planning permission in May this year, but the application was refused at a meeting of Stockport Area Committee on October 14. Mr Webb-Lee objected to the aplication - complained that his Muslim friends refused to visit him becase they ''can't stand the smell of bacon.''
Mr Webb-Lee said, "The vent is 12 inches from my front door. Every morning the smell of bacon comes through and makes me physically sick.
''I have a lot of Muslim friends. They refuse to visit me anymore because they can't stand the smell of bacon."
A spokesman for Stockport Council said, "'The retrospective application was rejected on the grounds of residential amenity, as the committee felt the odours given off from the vent were unacceptable for neighbouring residents.
"We will ensure that the cafe complies with this decision and removes the extractor fan."

That name doesn't sound very Muslim to me.

Another story to stir up the phobia of everything Islam. When in fact a Muslim is the victim here of PC non muslims. The neighbor probably doesn't have any Muslim friends, but thought he could drop that in the complaint so he doesn't have to put up with the smell.

[pickel]

It reminds me of an incident in Canada a few years ago, where the gov't came out with a proposal that Muslim women would not have to remove their hijabs to identify themselves at election polling stations. Islamic groups were the first to condemn the plan, and stated they had no problem removing their hijabs for official identification purposes, and worried that moves like this by PC politicians actually do more to stir up hatred of Muslims. Of course, their complaint was a small byline, while the first report of the plan was front page news.

An informed society has a duty to read between the lines.

Sorry.... but ignoring the islamic aspect of the story

Mr Webb-Lee said, "The vent is 12 inches from my front door. Every morning the smell of bacon comes through and makes me physically sick.

who would want a fryers extractor fan blowing it's smoke 12 inches from their front door? bacon or not. I would suggest that the cafe try a few drops of butyl mercaptan on their frier just to give Mr Webb-Lee something to feel really sick about.

[benbaaa]

I love the smell of bacon in the morning.



It smells of..........breakfast.

So a non Muslim using non-existing Muslims to play the race card for their own ends.
How very ironic

After a few years of daily vomiting i'm surprised the guy is still alive.

Have you not noticed that IT IS THE MUSLIMS THAT START ALL OF THESE ISSUES ???????

NOT THE PEOPLE THAT REACT TO THE ISSUE ??

''But neighbour Graham Webb-Lee complained that his Muslim friends refused to visit him becase they ''can't stand the smell of bacon.''

I have an irrational hatred of people with hyphenated names,
and this tosser dont make me change .
Perhaps his muzzzie 'friends' use the bacon stink as an excuse not to have to see him ....

[pickel]

Are you really as much of an idiot AS YOU PORTRAY YOURSELF TO BE ON HERE?????????

Read the fucking posts, a Muslim didn't start this. In fact, a Muslim was the victim of the PC brigade.

Sounds about right. I love to wake up to the smell of bacon in the morning, but would never be a friend with this kunt.

[the dogcatcher]

Promised my next door neighbour I woundn't srll my house to brown people.

Had some Mussies round to view it, they saw the sign and knocked me up.

I said "fine, view the house".
I'd just served up a couple of really juicy, thick pork chops for lunch.

They didn't buy it.

And why do you think the PC crowd was concerned about this ?? Maybe because they didnt want to see the cafe leveled by a 747 ?

You better hope that none of them that viewed your house knows how to fly a plane.

Enough with the muslim sensibilities, eh? Here's a little ditty that will no doubt displease 'em but it is the truth...

THE ISLAMIST RAG

First you get down on your knees
Beg your captors "Pretty please?"
Bow your head in great respect
So they can cut it from your neck

They can kill you for blasphemin'
Stone you till you're really screamin'
Every other moron is quoting from the Quran an'
Doin' the Islamist Rag!

If you want to use Islamic law
You must have a deeply comic flaw;
But then some Iman gets to see ya
And dispense some great sharia

If you're facing marital strife
The Quran says to beat your wife!
One, three, five, seven
Virgins wait for you in heaven!

So get down upon your knees
Beg your captors, "Pretty please?"
Bow your head with great respect
So they can cut if from your neck.

Allah, peace be on his name
Does not want you to feel shame
So start beheadin' ain't no use dreadin'
Just doin' the Islamist Rag!

Muslims are not the problem in this case. The law is the problem.

Find out who made the laws & start work to rationalise the law.

As for people who get offended by smell, I don't know of a single 'unbrainwashed' person who hates the smell of bacon while it's being cooked.

As for 'brainwashed'...people do end up having a choice to either remain brainwashed or not.

[SEA Traveler]

the smell of unwashed bodies and body oder offend me. can something be done about that?

Socal, you are the epitome of stupidity.

I know of only one other person who thinks the same as you...George W Bush. George W is quite possibly, one of the stupidest (democratic?) leaders/people this century. I'm certain that he is one of the stupidest people on the planet. I'll bet you look like him!

Even worse is those stinkin pommies who never wash but douse themselves in deoderant to "hide" the smell.

That would be harsh, he's only 26!
