“Because we have many Muslims coming to the tournament we have chosen not to serve pork…” Sweden, once seen as the best of Western civilization, is now a worst case example of the dismantling of a free society in the cause of sharia.
Sweden’s largest football tournament bans ‘forbidden pork’ from the menu to please Muslims
By Voice of Europe, 11 June 2018:
Story continues below advertisementFor the participants of Sweden’s Gothia Cup there will be no pork on the menu. The organisers have chosen to customise their menu according to Islam’s order, and completely removed the forbidden meat, Fria Tider reports.
“Because we have many Muslims coming to the tournament we have chosen not to serve pork, so you do not need to report this as special food or an allergy,” the organisers wrote in an update on their website at the end of last year. Pork is forbidden in Islam and is called “Haram”.
For the organisers, There’s nothing strange about its religiously adapted menu. When a journalist from the newspaper, Nyheter Idag, asked the tournament leader, Lena Rönnefors, why not just have an option for those who do not want to eat pork, she answered:
“What is the question? What are you wondering about? We have no complaints on the menu, so it’s great.”
The Gothia Cup, or World Cup, is one of the world’s largest football cups for young people between 11-19 years old. The tournament, organised in the Gothenburg area in July each year, brings together approximately 37,000 participants from all over the world.

Take your own! …and SHARE it with the mozlems !
Do you think the US Armed Forces import non-Muslim contract cooks for their dining facilities in the Islamic World? They do NOT. There are no prohibitions in preparing, handling or proximity with pork. Only with eating it. Flexibility rises when your rice bowl is at stake.
And the next step will be that all meat served will be Halal-Style slaughtered. Then the Swedes will reveal their true face behind their progressive animal-protection rights.
Never forget, per the CPUSA & DSA’s own websites, Progressive is a communist and a communist is a Progressive. They just hope Americans will be fooled by Progressive. Well 1/2 the country, democrats, have been fooled.
Yes, the dems are prime examples of those that were successfully inodctrinated by the communist agenda.
That step has already been taken in most parts of the public realm in Sweden.
We should have learned by now to never trust anyone who does not eat pork. They never stop fighting even among themselves.
How about the muslims start doing something to please the Swedes?
Why blame Islam ? its the dumb infidels who are stupid enough to support it
they deserve what they get.
Like Brits/Europeans and Americans who go to get finest fecal diversity cuisine in muslim run restaurants like these http://bit.ly/2snziZ8
LOL !
Kill themselves?
next they will ban pigs in sweden
Then dogs ,especially black dogs. Western muslims are calling for no one to walk their dogs in ” muslim areas. ” Take , take , take.
You know that they will do just that!
They hate dogs because mophead tried to f**k a black dog. But the black dog bit him on his little pee pee.
That made mophead mad, and muslims have made dogs pay for it ever since.
The two Muslim women who live in my neighborhood give me the stink eye when I walk my dog on their sidewalk. I worry they will leave poison in grass to kill my dog. I walk out of the way to avoid them. This is another example of Muslims getting their way by using intimidation.
Then they will ban Swedes in Sweden.
They need working Swedes to support the welfare system.
hopefully within the next decade sweden will be under islamic control and all their women put in chains and used for the only thing they are good for, a lifetime of rape!
Harsh, but unfortunately true because real native Swedish men have become extinct.
Sweden has men? Or just “potential muslims”?
And breeding stock.
Hmmm , then the women go to hell. In the wordz of Allahz messenger ( camel p*ss be upon him ) ” the majority of hells inhabitants are women , because of their stupidity and ungratefulness to their husbands. “. Its a tough life being female , or an infidel , or a close companion of Mo. But mostly a woman ” you made us equal to the donkeys “-Aisha told him once.
Women arent even close to the level of donkeys!
Does that mean halal food only?…ech…
Ban pork? Ban muslim hatred
Ban Muslims!
Problem gone.
I did not know football was a religious event – so much for secular Sweden
They look down on almost other every religion but Islam, which they look up to.
If Muslims come, they don’t have to order it.
Did they ever cross their minds?
Frankly I doubt that they’d want to witness and AMERICAN sport.
We are the BIG SATAN and Israel is the LITTLE SATAN.
I was going to say make it a B.Y.O.B. (Bring Your Own Bacon) event but…
Isn’t Booze also forbidden to Muslims?
Better not be any served there, or any Mudslimes drinking the stuff. (Yeah right.)
RIP Sweden!
Gutless Swedes.
Obviously no Jews have ever attend events like this???
Trust me: Jews would never be granted such accommodation.
Although I don’t support Moslems, you shouldn’t eat pork. Even Yahusha sent the demons into the pigs and sent them running down a hill into the water. Pork is one of the worst animals you could eat on this planet.
You shouldn’t eat anything unclean.
Maybe you shouldn’t but as Jesus said, what goes in comes out. It doesn’t stay.
If you read the whole verse he was using that as a spiritual meaning. You need to read the science of a pig. Beautfooly designed to eat rotting crap.
You missed the point. Jesus DID say you can eat swine.
Where did he ever say that? That is BLASPHEMY.
So you begin with proof texting a section of Scripture to make your point and then correct someone else for doing the same? Careful with the word amigo you’ll be accountable for every time you misuse it…
Again, he was using that as a spiritual meaning to the confused Jews who got misguided by the law.
It was an anology based on real day to day bodily function. It was infact more accurate than yours…
Acts 10:9-16
Judaism also condemns it, in fact. Although many secular Jews seem to enjoy bacon regardless.
Bacon is like the heart attack special.
Just a continuation in the destruction of Europe. And they complain about Trump?
The Swedes should be serving nothing but pork at these matches.
Another way to stop the Muslims from attending is to serve everything kosher and with a rabbi on staff.
Well what can I say?
BACON!!!
Someone should invent bacon scented cologne…
Submit, submit, submit. Shame on you Sweden. You have done a disservice to your citizens….the real ones.
Ridiculous. Then don’t eat it. Get tired of everyone kowtowing to their demands. As a “religion” they do not mean the West well no matter their words.
She did not understand the question. Why not be able to have the option of not eating pork. There are many other things that can be offered. There were no complaints about the menu because people were afraid of having their heads chopped off or their throats slit. Theses barbarians must be deported.
I am of mixed mind, and would need to know more about this tournament, which the article says is for KIDS. Kids do not always make the wisest choices on menus, and it’s not clear whether this refers to food furnished by the tournament to the student-athletes who are competing (and presumably living in dorms, together) or to concession stands serving spectators.
I have no problem with tournament organizers who want to make life easier for everybody by planning a SINGLE menu to feed the kids that is agreeable to everybody participating. I would expect te same thing of someone planning any youth event — as I have been a youth event planner, myself. As a kosher Jew, I have appreciated that effort when community events occur that strive to be inclusive of Jews who keep kosher, as well. It’s not just that Islam “demands” other people follow their law; it’s that an inclusive community ought not force those with special dietary needs to self-exclude themselves from participation.
But if this refers to banning pork from the concession stands for spectators, that goes too far. Those with money to buy food can go to whatever food stand they want, or avoid whatever one they don’t want. I’m sure some entrepreneur will be happy to erect a Halal meat sandwich stand and may even draw some non-Muslim customers. The more variety the merrier, I say. When I go to a ballgame in the USA, I head for the certified kosher hot dog stand, but I have no problem with the pork BBQ and fried-shrimp concessions also found at the ballpark.
Pamela is likewise a Jew. I think that it is a bit ironic, because the Arabs likely “borrowed” the concept of avoiding pork from the Arabian Jews before their communities were decimated.
I’d only propose the one edit of replacing “decimated” with “annihilated.”
Why can’t they simply choose to order something other than pork? If the people in charge of cooking everything can guarantee that the pork, and its juices, won’t come into contact with anything else, no problem. It’s quite simple, and many kitchens do things like that all the time.
Here’s an idea! How about you serve pork to those who ask for it. Those who don’t want pork, for whatever the reason, are free to choose from the other items on the menu. That way Swedes who are so inclined, can get their noses out of the asses of their Muslim handlers and get a whiff of that fresh air called freedom and self respect.
I’m still waiting for the famous quote about Swedes running through the weeds…
are they giving away the pork? is it on a buffet?
NO – it’s for sale…if you don’t want it, don’t buy it.
Why should swedes be forced to eat halal meat where the animals are tortured by those that slaughter it?
Oh…I forgot…Sweden is devoid of testosterone.
Jews also avoid pork, but this is just another example of their governments bending over backwards to Islam. Would they ever do the same for Hindus regarding beef?
