Burger King has caved to the pressure from Islam, and they just made an announcement that they will ONLY serve 100% halal meat, under the rules of Sharia Law.

There's nothing about the Halal slaughter process that renders the meat unfit for non-Muslims. It's essentially the same as Kosher food. You've eaten that, haven't you? Did it surreptitiously convert you to Judaism?
I promise you, eating meat from animals slaughtered according to Abrahamic ritual is not going to harm you medically, or give you even the slightest urge to prostrate yourself toward the east when you pray.
On the part of Burger King, it sounds to me like a smart business decision to add Muslims to the customer base, especially since there's no reason it should drive away current customers.
I think they will lose more business than they will get from the muslims
Surely there can't be that many tender snowflakes too sensitive to patronize a company that tolerates muslims.
But I Will Not Patronize Any Business That Supports "Sharia Law"
Not now Not Ever
If you Do You Are Condoning The misuse And Mutilation Of Women
And I For one Am Above this[^]
Surrendering again to tyrants.
That means no pork products, right?
They will not give up their breakfast menu here, well maybe not.
If any of that happens in the states, I will not patronize Burger King ever again.
In fact, I am on the verge of that now anyway. Got a Whopper last week to go, got home, the lettuce and tomato had been nuked. That was one reason the last BK here went out of business. When they built this one, I have always got fresh fixings on my burger. If I had eaten in the store, I would have complained. One thing I found about BK when I tried to complain about the one that finally closed, they make it impossible to send them a complaint.
Burger King is out of the food business; they sold off all the stores last year. BK is now only in the franchise business. Store owners can do whatever they want, as long as they pay corporate fees.
I suspect that all the French stores are owned by a single company. They obviously figured out their target market. Maybe they will start selling BK kabobs & baba ganoush. I doubt that US owners will change the business model & drop pork belly.
If you have a complaint about a specific US BK store, don't expect anyone to care. Eat somewhere else; I do.

Keep it in France and I will not support BK if they bring it here. So you supporters do you condone their treatment of women
WHAT????? Burger King didn't say that they would start treating their women employees like the Muslim treats their women. They just said that they would start buying their beef that are slaughtered more humanely. Nothing wrong with that, of course unless you're into undo torture. Just saying
