Muslim inmates at a prison in Great Britain were offended when shown a menu of the food they would receive during the holiest month of Ramadan. They were shocked to see that the "halal" menu included ham sandwiches. Some Muslims are threatening civil action claiming that they were victims of racial harassment and mistreatment. They claim that this was clear evidence to "underlying insensitivity" of the Prison Service.

The mayor of the town has issued an apology. The Justice Secretary has ordered that prison bosses be more diligent in catering to Muslim's needs. He also promised that the prison staff would be re-trained on prisoners' cultural and religious needs. Even more absurd, additional local management checks and staff training will be introduced to the prison before Ramadan begins.

The Prison Service already offers 11 different religious and cultural diets to meet prisoner demands. National Muslim leaders and organizations such as the Halal Food Authority are already consulted when putting together menus. Imams are also invited to make sure that food preparation and storage facilities comply with Islamic religious code.

This is where the article came from~~



Personally, if I'm having a ham sandwich, I prefer mayo on one slice of the bread and mustard on the 2nd slice. That works for me~


PS: whole wheat too

If they are going to offer a Muslim menu they should at least get it right. Maybe it was an honest mistake, people know that Muslims (the real ones) don"t eat pork, you would be surprise at how many people don"t realize that ham comes from a pig.
