Germans rebel over pander to Muslim pork phobia

Times:
Two German nurseries that decided to take pork off their menus out of respect for Muslim children caused such a furious outcry that they had to be put under police protection.

The kindergartens in the eastern city of Leipzig received threats over the ban, which also included barring gummy bears because they contain gelatine, after it became front-page news this week.

Conservative and far-right politicians criticised the decision, which the nursery management said was taken “out of respect for a changing world” and had the approval of a majority of the parents.

The two nurseries have only two Muslim girls among their 300 children, the Bild newspaper reported.

The Middle East in ancient times had trouble butchering and properly preserving pork.  While the west has been able to properly handle pork for centuries the Middleastern world has made avoiding pork a religious obligation.  There is really no reason to force people of different faiths to abide by the ancient religious beliefs of another sect.  The Germans should not have to give up their culture to pander to immigrants.

Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
