Jews and Muslims (and pigs) unite against the European Union
Honour where honour is due - and you have to give it to the European Union: when it comes to introducing mad policies and laws they are very hard to beat.
Take this one:
The European Union is preparing plans to allow pig remains to be used to feed poultry. The practice - banned in Europe after the BSE crisis 10 years ago - would save farmers millions of pounds as prices of cereal feed for chickens soar, say officials in Brussels.
But the proposal has outraged animal rights campaigners, Muslim organisations and other groups. They claim the move would put families at risk, offend religious sensibilities and lead to a major consumer backlash.
‘There are two million Muslims in Britain and 25 million in Europe and this move would be a disaster for every one of them,’ said Dr Abdel Majid-Katme of the Islamic Medical Association.
Now, admittedly there are not many things that can unite Muslim and Jew but the EU has found a way. They say ‘Pigs will fly before this happens’ but prepare yourself for the unique site of Muslims and Jews marching through Europe’s street, holding up and sharing their banners, united in their demands to keep Europe’s chickens both halal and kosher - while along the route all the little piggies will cheer the marchers on, shouting “Allah is great!” & “Next year in Jerusalem!”
