Canadian muslim couple files suit over salami served at deli

This is beyond ridiculous, but what else do you expect from the followers of Muhammad? Read on for a good laugh.

Muslim couple file human rights beef over Superstore salami

METRO VANCOUVER – There’s no meat in a Muslim couple’s beef about the salami at a Coquitlam Real Canadian Superstore, B.C.’s Human Rights Tribunal ruled earlier this week.

The couple, William and Micheline Issa, filed a complaint with the tribunal on behalf of themselves and their three children, saying the store served them salami containing pork a year ago.

The couple said they eat only 100-per cent beef salami, as consuming pork would violate their religious beliefs.

BC Human Rights Tribunal Chair Heather McNaughton dismissed the complaint, ruling, in part, that it wouldn’t likely succeed.

A deli assistant admitted she mistakenly served salami that contained pork but said the couple told them of the error before receiving the salami.

The Issas concurred but said said in the complaint that they were concerned they had previously been served salami containing pork.

Loblaws, which owns the store, had offered to settle the complaint by paying the couple $5,000 for injury to dignity, feelings and self-respect, and giving another $5,000 to a charity of the couple’s choice.

But the couple proceeded with the complaint.

That “reasonable” settlement, the fact that the deli assisant merely made an error and the lack of proof that the family was previously served pork salami led the tribunal chair to dismiss the complaint.

One other fact didn’t help the couple: “They continue to shop at the Superstore and to purchase all-beef salami from the Deli,” the chair wrote.

William Issa ran for council in Port Coquitlam in 2005 and 2009. His candicacy saw him come 9th in the most recent elections with over 1800 votes. He spent just over $7000 on his political run, $2000 of which came from contributors.

I have to give props to the BC Human Rights Tribunal for not caving to these clowns. At least the deli worker realized the error. And even if they had ingested pork, I am sure allah the benevolent would forgive them, since they did not do so willingly. Such is the mindset of those still stuck in the superstitious cult of the 7th century.

  • Grrrr! Pigs complaining about Pork? How odd? They should have served them salami containing poison, and be done with those evil rag heads. IMO!

    a secret hideout...LOL

    be your BOSS inside your own home... your TWELVE children running amok breaking your stuff...their names? Little Mohammad,Abdullah,Tareq,Yasser,Fatima,OSAMA...LOL!!!how about that?And ALL of them infested with HEAD LICE at the same time!!

    The muz are really an amusing bunch. They are truly proof that we will never run out of assholes on this planet as long as there are muz on it. It all boils down to: "If you don't like it go back to the shithole muz cesspool you brought your ass out of to come here". Somehow, the idiot muz never seem to get it. They need their asses kicked more often. Let's have a riot and burn a bunch of muz stuff and kill them for insulting the USA!!!! I think that's a great idea! That would be very muz-like. Imitation is the best form of flattery, after all........
  • Agreed, as always. Perfect wording, Tonto:
    "Somehow, the idiot muz never seem to get it. "

    As a member of a MINORITY group,namely the Brazilian Jewish Community,I
    do RESPECT my country's CHRISTIAN MAJORITY laws and religious beliefs,
    cuisine,festivities and so forth.
    I can't sue if someone puts PORK in my food,I'd just ASK another plate.No fuss.
    No frivolous lawsuit.No nonsense.
    WHY?
    Because I don't feel it'd be the right thing to do.It sounds DISHONEST.
    Then again,it's just my opinion.


    If a Jew did exactly what those muslims have done,I'd say the same,maybe worse.I'd
    ask them to MOVE to MEA SHEARIM or BNEI BRAK,ultra-orthodox Jewish enclaves in
    ISRAEL.Even there,they try to IMPOSE their will on secular people who doesn't follow
    the KASHRUT,that is,don't feel obliged to eat KOSHER food only.

    It's just UNACCEPTABLE.
  • JEWHAWK: You have the right attitude, and heart. You would like Bacon, read my post. LOL I'm sure of it, as you seem like a very healthly loving individual, as I like Kosher as well, variety is the spice of life. Food, (the herbs) is really here for just our health, and well being. Although some people make a big deal out of it, what ever? A glass of Kefir is just fine, and be on my way.
    Peanut Butter is good when in a hurry. I don't like to stop to cook, how boring. However I'd be glad to stop and fix those muzzies something kosher alright, and they wouldn't remember a thing, trust me.
  • JEWHAWK
    Dear Ljcarolyne,as a matter of fact,I do LOVE Bacon!

    Well,about Kosher stuff,is kinda hard to find it where I live,so it'd
    be costly to bring it from the big cities...and I wasn't educated
    to follow the Kashrut.

    Many non-Jews eat Kosher-labelled foods because they are almost
    100% CLEAN and SAFE products.Even MUSLIMS buy them.

    Let me remind you that forbidding to eat Pork was a decision
    taken a very long time ago,when the Jews didn't have a clue
    about how to cook properly the meat and seafoods such as lobster
    crabs,shrimp and other things.It's pretty understandable if they
    prohibited those foods after someone ate them and had intestinal
    problems afterwards...LOL;

    Well,until the word "ALLERGY" and "DISINTERY" came about,
    and how to deal with it,it's fair to assume that avoiding them was
    the right choice...
    The major issue about following the Kashrut is having TWO
    SEPARATED KITCHENS.One in which you cook meat products,
    another for dairy stuff.I can't explain that,something that Rabbi
    Winkler told me some 20 years ago in Jerusalem.

    Anyway,I would NEVER dare to impose my religious beliefs
    onto anybody.It'd be unthinkable.Period.
  • JEWJAWK: This is good to know, and glad you like bacon. I figured that anyway. These religious nuts are so far from the truth they have lost their friggin' minds. Form of Insanity and very oppressive to impose religious beliefs on others. Choice is our God given right. Obama had better learn that in a hurry, because he is going to find it out the hard way.
    You bet, ya.

    Oh wait, you have an agenda. My bad.
  • Kal_El
    Wrong. That case is one of misrepresentation. Your article even claims it is
    not about Jews suing for the sake of suing, it is about Vienna Beef not
    listing all the ingredients on their product. The Issa clan is suing because
    they were served pork salami, in error (one time), which the deli clerk corrected after
    her error was pointed out. They are suing in the grounds that they MAY have consumed pork at one time or another. Nice try though.

    As for my agenda, yes, I have one. It is waking people up to a very real
    danger. It starts with muslims whining about having to handle anything
    containing pork, at the cash register of Target, despite the product being
    packaged so that they never have to actually touch the pork. Or how about
    muslim cabbies refusing fares because they are carrying a bottle of liquor
    picked up at the duty free shop. Or better yet, how about muslim cabbies
    refusing a fare because he has a seeing eye dog? How much further do you
    want to bend over and take it for islam?

    Then perhaps this one will tickle you're creative juices?
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/dors...

    You have people suing over the most retarded of reasons all the time. Yet somehow, muslims doing it suddenly becomes a case against Islam? The result of the case is for the legal system to decide. While I certainly do hope they rule against the Issas, you're pointing out of facts in a skewed light simply exposes you're bias.

    'Waking people up to danger' without giving a mutually acceptable solution to your perceived problem isn't a service. It's called hate-mongering.
