They don't care about your feelings about a pork sub. They care about maximizing their profit. You're not that special  |
So it's just me thinking this way? LMAO 
Have a little look through the 1,600 comments on this article. They might not care about my personal feelings, but I'm sure they care about the THOUSANDS of people feeling the exact same way as me.

You've got to be ****ing kidding me... that's got to be the dumbest thing I've heard all week... I don't understand, just... why? Why?  who came up with that rule, and why? What purpose does it serve?
Last time I checked Muslim was not a race  there are many white Muslims. |

You're right

Of course I don't. There goes JimmyMinaj, the 'ole racist once again.
Thanks for all the laughs [2]

Didn't you just spend this ENTIRE thread talking about how "This isn't a Muslim country"? That's basically the exact same sentiment except 10000000x more prejudiced.
So basically thanks for proving ne right, yet again. It sure is easy to trick ignorant people into proving their ignorance.

I love Subway, and always have. I shouldn't have to not be able to get a pork sub because of someone else's beliefs. |

Subway is a business and there's not a chance in hell that they are going to inconvenience and alienate the majority of their customers who will obviously be non-muslim. That would be massively counter-productive and the opposite of what they aim to achieve with these halal Subways.  They're trying to appeal to a wider market, not minimize it, so no one is suddenly gonna find their local subway shut down for a halal one and not be able to find another normal Subway nearby. |
Not to mention that most people will still be able to get the sandwich they want at a halal Subway

Mess, let's not get carried away now. I'm sure no one's being pernicious here.

Please explain to me how a private business making a decision to potentially increase profits is similar to colonization in any way, shape, or form.

There are so many Muslims in the UK that businesses benefit form catering to them. The UK, as we know it WILL be wiped out in 50 years and will become a Muslim state with Sharia law. Just look at birth rate statistics. How is that not colonization? Besides, it is just sad that a Briton cannot walk into any Subway in his own country and order bacon.

The DailyMail comments section is consistently filled with uneducated racists, so maybe you should find it a bit more alarming that your opinion lines up with theirs. Now, could you please explain to me how this decision affects the other 1,000 Subways in the UK that will remain non-Halal?

no way do they have 200 stores in areas predominantly inhabited by muslims.
it would not be hard to figure out how much halal meat and how much normal meat you need based on the average ratio of muslim to non-muslim customers, if they want to maximise profits that should be the process.
i do feel like racists will try spin this as a "the muslims are taking over" type of story.

Why is a vegan person talking about the subject on the first pages?

It's like "reverse racism" but instead of race, it's religion.

The DailyMail comments are always full of pressed people, might as well quote Angela Cheng.

Of course that's what the DM comments section is always filled with.
I guess everyone on my Facebook, Twitter, IG are all uneducated and racist too, right?

90% muslim areas? That is a massive exaggeration, in inner city London there maybe predominantly non-white areas but not exclusively muslim. And there certainly aren't 200 of those towns.

You are really ignorant, but since you are not from here, you are forgiven. Look at any statistic that shows what birthrates are needed for a community to survive. Unless immigration is stopped or limited most of Europe will be Muslim in 50 years. It's a fact. Look it up.
