The principle is always and everywhere the same: in Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to Islamic sensibilities. And in non-Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to Islamic sensibilities.
It’s noteworthy that the London Economic thought this was news at all. If a Christian student at the University of Edinburgh were dissatisfied with the quality of the food delivered during self-isolation, would this be a news story? Of course not. But in Scotland today, as in all of Britain, Muslims are a special, protected class, that must not be criticized, challenged, or even inconvenienced.
“Muslim student slams University after she was given ham sandwich and bacon flavoured crisps during self-isolation,” by Joe Mellor, The London Economic, October 1, 2020 (thanks to Henry):
A Muslim student has slammed the University of Edinburgh after she was given a ham sandwich and bacon flavoured crisps during self-isolation.
Leila Peacock, 19, blasted the ‘baby food’ packed lunches and said she was shocked when she was given the meat – which is forbidden by her religion.
The first-year student, who stays at catered accommodation which costs more than £8,000, said was given five salads one day this week – because there are no other veggie options
She also said she was served a Mars bar and a croissant for breakfast and thinks she has lost weight because the food she has been served is not filling.
Leila told student newspaper The Tab: “I’m Muslim and vegetarian and have been given bacon crisps, a ham sandwich and a ham salad.
“All the meals are cold and never given on time so people always miss breakfast.
“The veggie meal options are just small salads.
“I was delivered five salads yesterday.
“The breakfasts are so un-nutritious.
“It’s a Mars bar, a sliced mandarin syrup pot which looks like baby food, and a croissant and apple.
“It’s so disappointing because the food in the canteen has vegan options, veggie options, meat options, and is hot but the cold packed lunches are just awful.”
Leila who is studying Spanish and Arabic, said catering staff has been in touch with her last night [Wed] to try and rectify the situation.
Edinburgh restaurant, Chai Lounge, also stepped in and offered to help provide students with religious dietary restrictions with meals….

DARURA is an important Arabic word all Western authorities NEED to learn.
“DARURA” is the Sharia doctrine of “NECESSITY”. Muslims can forego any Islamic ruling when necessary and not commit a sin. Darura is the equivalent of the saying, “NO PROBLEM!”
If a Muslim is hungry, he may eat pork. If meat is not halal, a Muslim may say a special prayer and it *magically* becomes halal.
DARURA applies wherever Sharia Law is NOT the law of the land … because … Koran 4:28 “Allah wishes to lighten your burden, for man was created weak.”

Good point, Mortimer.

Also, if he is sick, he may forego the 5 daily ritual prayers and he need not fast during Ramadan if sick.
Henry Schalk says
This from an article by Raymond Ibrahim: if Muslims find themselves under non-Muslim authority and fear for themselves, they may, in the words of the Koran verse, “guard” themselves, by “taking precautions.” The sheikh explained that this means that it is permissible for Muslims to pretend to be “one of them,” the infidels, but only on the outside.
By way of example, he said that if the Muslim is under the authority of Christians, and the cross is everywhere, the Muslim can wear the cross and hang it up— despite Islam’s well-known virulent hatred for the cross; he can also pretend to be a Christian and conceal his Muslim practices. Sheikh Galil called this strategy—also known as the doctrine of taqiyya—as a “license” granted by Allah to Muslims to protect themselves against infidels.
Here, again, is a reminder of why Al Azhar is regularly accused of teaching the same brand of Islam that “radicals” adhere to. Al-Qaeda has published a long treatise on this very topic, “Loyalty and Enmity,” calling on Muslims to hate non-Muslims, but permitting them to pretend to be one of them whenever circumstances make it prudent to do so.

Henry Schalk says
Also, we should keep in mind that Muslims who are worried about their past un-Islamic behaviour, can seek redemption from Allah by dying while waging jihad.

Those Scots are so inconsiderate!
Jayell says
Inconsiderate to a follower of Mohammed? Well, this might be a bit surprising since they’ve also got a Disciple of the Great Prophet as their ‘Justice Minister’ who’s recently been trying to get a bit of islamic ‘justice’ (sic) into Scottish law, so this whingeing minx has apparently got a friend in high places. Maybe he’ll get the restaurant people beheaded. Isn’t it odd that virtually every other student at Edinburgh probably has to suffer the same conditions in these difficult times, yet the only self-entitled griping apparently comes from a specimen like this!

WHERE IS YOUR HIJAB MISS?
Put it on:allah insists.You must if you are a muslima.Cover your hair and veil your face.
Koran 24:31
It is compulsory in iran and Saudi Arabia is it not?
Just because you have the privilege of living in the west does not mean you are free to defy allah does it?
No exposed hair in front of ‘infidels’,no make up or Jewellery either.
You are not supposed to be going around in public without your hijab or unveiled are you?
Yet another virtue-signalling muslima hypocrite who disobeys the god she claims to follow!
mortimer says
Inconsistent, isn’t she?
Keith O says
So, I’m not the only one who noticed what a pious Mudslime she is!
FYI says
She’s upset about a bacon sandwich:she should go live in iran and see what happens to muslimas who don’t want to wear that hijab.
Better still,she should try the tropical islamic paradise that is Somalia.
These whinging muslimas are like little islamic princesses who feel entitled to everything.
Oh what a trauma to be served a Mars bar and a croissant for breakfast!
Oh the ‘islamophobia’ of it all!
This muslima is an islamic snowflake.
She must have ‘islamic privilege’
James Lincoln says
FYI says,
“This muslima is an islamic snowflake.”
100% spot on…
Anna Yelena says
Well it would be like a person standing in line at a Soup Kitchen and complaining about the food being offered free. I would say to her kwiturbitchin and if you’re not happy get the F out of Scotland ASAP. INGRATE!
Brando says
It is the UK,there are 1.2 MILLION Pakistani Muslims, maybe hers is the case:
of which.here is the REDPILL/BLACKPILL:
55% of those married are married to their FIRST COUSIN.
AND AS STATED BEFORE
According to WIKISLAM,which is reliable:
50% of MUSLIMS who are married are to their FIRST or SECOND COUSINS,which has been the case for GENERATIONS,it gives as a result:
GENETIC DETERIORATION: low IQs and PSYCHOLOGICAL and/or PHYSICAL ,HEALTH problems.
gravenimage says
True, Brando. Muslims make up about 5% of the population in Britain, but *over a third* of birth defects, which have to be paid for by the British taxpayer:
“Bradford study finds higher birth defect risk in married cousins”
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leeds-23183102
FYI says
Yet another muslima who thinks she is free NOT to wear the hijab!
“If they do that{i.e wear the hijab} it will be known they are free and that they are not servants or whores”
TAFSIR IBN KATHIR 33:59
Two Options..
1]Wear the hijab=’free'{in the sense of being free from suspicion of being a whore/slave’infidel woman} but not ‘free’ to discard wearing it of course{see IRAN}
2]Don’t wear the hijab= a servant,whore,infidel woman,immoral
So better put on that hijab muslimas:because if you don’t, IT WILL BE KNOWN that you are servants or prostitutes.It must be worn especially when around infidels,isn’t that so?
Leila who is ‘studying Spanish and Arabic”:shame it is not Logic.A subject muslims are hopeless at understanding.
Ecosse1314 says
Let them eat haggis…non-halal of course.
Though i would bet there is a halal version somewhere in dhimmi Scotland.

The meals do sound pretty pitiful — especially at those prices. I’d complain too. But where does it become “news”? Fueled by the media – just making a mountain out of a mole’s hill. Sorry folks, nothing to report here.

Yeah, they all say that.
Agostino Armo Pellegrini says
“Waaaaa.. WAAAAAA! I have to each such “small salads!”
Nobody plays the victim role better than muslims, they’re experts at the art of “poor us.” And this ham sandwich “drama” just goes to show the extent they’ll go to hector us into sharia compliance. Our kids are mass raped, our neighborhoods obliterated for their enclaves, our freedoms crushed for islamic supremacy, but they’re outraged over cartoons and ham sandwiches. They got most of Europe and America running ’round like headless chickens in our own defense while trying to please these arrogant, unyielding invaders. How often do muslims adjust their culture or religion for us? NEVER, despite the fact that islam is the most retarded culture and religion on the planet. You’d like to see a little humility in the world’s stupidest people. Every enclave they build in our nations (s) is like a mini Iran or Pakistan that bears little resemblance to the host nation. The buildings may be ours but the attitudes, the culture, the mindset, of muslims is vastly–dangerously–different from the host nation. It’s dangerous because muslims threaten to destroy us for a culture that is fully dedicated to religious supremacy over our freedoms and human rights.
Islam was never a religion of peace. Islam is the religion of fighting. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
So true, and nobody knows that better than us non-muslims. Islamic doctrines are the “moral” and spiritual basis for their bloody aggressions against us, it is the propaganda that conditions muslims at an early age to consider us “kafirs” and “infidels” as inferiors to be conquered or killed. And that’s what they are doing every day around the world, killing, raping, and terrorizing for their demon religion. Muslims are guardians of the worlds most dangerous ideology–it’s political, it’s violent, and what makes it even more insane, it’s motivated by the debased desires of a chimerical demon invented by a psycho robber-murderer of 7th century Arabia. Islam doesn’t deserve respect by the non-muslim world any more than the aspirations of criminals deserves respect, it is the greatest enemy of humankind and should be destroyed. But forget all that, this muslim girl is hungry and we best find a solution, fast! Cuz everyone knows what usually happens when their feelings get hurt: the religion of peace gets hijacked by a muslim who doesn’t represent islam and more “infidels” die die die.

Agostino Armo Pellegrini,
100% accurate post, but you’re really making way too much sense…
Agostino Armo Pellegrini says
Thanks, it’s not often I’m accused of doing that! 🙂
DavidR says
Do not marry this woman. She is outrage looking for any trigger at all, even imaginary ones. Here we have her complaining for the power it conveys and the certainty her religion will absolve her narcissist proclamations.
And she’s right to assume that. She rang the bell and her benefactors fell in line, even jostling for first place. Truly pathetic.
gravenimage says
I doubt she would marry a non-Muslim anyway–that is Haram. Only Muslim males can marry non-Muslims (and also rape them, of course).
tim gallagher says
Oh, boo fucking hoo. This nonsense where people whinge about such nothing issues is often called a first world problem. In the world, some people are actually genuinely starving or almost starving to death. But, then there’s the Muslims, with that massive chip on their collective shoulder all the time, who are the all time world champion whingers and whiners. Always looking to be offended and always the victim, except, of course, for the fact, that Muslims, whenever and wherever they gain power, truly do victimise all non-Muslims constantly.

What b s I bet she ate and enjoyed. It like and other Muslim have done before
What prideful little self center attention. seeking spoiled brat

If u don’t like it, go to the forest and collect mushrooms

Now that’s a good idea for her

They are taught from an early age that anger and violence are the correct responses to any slight no matter what.

Correct, and it seems to be working for them in many Western countries…

UK: Muslim student enraged after being given ham sandwich during self-isolation
……………….
Oh, good grief.
We’re vegan, and last week Chipotle got one of our lunch orders wrong and I got chicken. I just ate it so it would not go to waste, and sent them a polite email afterwards saying they had gotten one of our orders wrong. I didn’t alert the press about it–nor would the press have cared if I had.
But of course this is not really about a ham sandwich–it is about fake Muslim victim-mongering and imposing Shari’ah norms in more and more places.
James Lincoln says
gravenimage,
But your response was that of intelligent, polite, well-adjusted woman…
gravenimage says
Thank you, James.
Muslims are not just looking for cases like this–they will often gin ones up where they don’t exist. “Lawfare” and fake victimhood.

Oh dear, a Miserable Millenium Muslima – whooda thought it?
STJOHNOFGRAFTON says
Jesus freed us from those legalistic food constraints. Jesus declared all foods clean. See Mark 7:19-20:
And He said to them, “Are you so lacking in understanding also? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him, because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?” (Thus He declared all foods clean.) And He was saying, “That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man.
Chrissie01 says
I am a vegetarian for various reasons. I consider this my business, and – not to forget – my financial charge, and mine alone. Live and let live.
If you don’t like the food, order something else. Pay for it. That simple.
Chrissie01 says
and BTW: Where is my ham sandwich in the universities of Islamabad, Karachi, Kabul and Lahore??
spiro says
What ? What ? Pay for it
How dare you don’t you infidel understand I’m Muslim and far superior to you
I should get what ever I want handed to me for free
That’s her attitude and she should be sent to a Muslim country where she fits in like
Maybe Iran Iraq Syria etc
She how far her little attitude gets her

+1
job says
Should have given her halal haggis.
OLD GUY says
Grow up and get over it you cry baby. If getting a ham sandwiches is the worst thing in your life you are way too protected from life. How do you think the Ham Sandwich feels about your reaction to it? That poor pig gave its life for you to have that ham and you disrespect that PIG. Shame on you. And where in the hell is your burka or what ever you call it, I see you are warming western clothing rather than the islamic women garb. If you are so dam islamic shouldn’t you also follow the dress code for depressed muslim women?
vcragain says
It sounds just like the food they often serve you on flights – just stuff clobbered together to call it a ‘meal’ – but we have to take into account that people have varying ideas of what a ‘meal’ SHOULD consist of. I love Mars bars so would likely be perfectly happy to be allowed to eat one with my breakfast ! But it likely is not very nutritious. I’m a Brit, but I have to say the Brits in general are pretty bad at food…….I often have to laugh at my own creations, because the instinct for food finesse is just not there – but hey i’m good at other things ! However this young woman should have sussed out what the score was with the college arrangements BEFORE she committed herself to studying there !!!….just complaining now will just make everybody hate her ! Maybe what she really wants is online fame & the ensuing fortune, maybe a GoFundMe page too ? …seems everybody is trying to get into that meme these days ! No sorry I do not feel sorry for her.
Leonard Stephen says
In June of 2019 I went to Montreal to visit family members and drink-up the sights. There we exhibitions and food vendors and we had a blast in that ethnic melting pot. Many people were wearing ethnic garb.
We came to a place selling ribs. Pork ribs. You could smell them blocks away and we headed straight there. (I am a Southerner, so even knowing i was baited, that’s where I went).
It seems Palestinian women, unlike most of their men, continue to wear traditional clothing, but it certainly looked odd, dressed like that, and digging into a platefull of ribs.
spiro says
But But But that’s .not possible Muslim liars do touch pork or alcohol
Their iman would be so stressed he couldn’t finished his pulled pork sandwich
