 muslims demand own section at food bank
http://www.bizpacreview.com/2014/09/22/muslims-demand-food-banks-provide-pork-free-free-food-section-147340

Edit- Apparently there is a Muslim Food Bank in Canada. Seems to be working out fine. The more well-off Muslims should perhaps take the Canadian example as a future idea and create their own pork-free charity, as well.

As a muslim seeing this kind of shit is bothersome.
It is acutally allowed in Islam to eat pork if you have no option left.
People should stop feeling so entitled, beggers cant be choosers.

The point was to respectufully say that writing something in arabic and saying its "meant for all muslim/arabic speaking members of rally point" isnt accurate. Not to mention many arabic speakers are not even muslim so the arabic sentence wont apply to them.
But thats just political correctness. Your intention was good and thats all it really matters

I agree with SPC (Join to see), the whole purpose of the Muslim community is to help provide for one another. Why go to a food bank when you could just go to the masjid? I am sure other brothers and sisters would help you out. The sense of entitlement is crazy nowadays!

I'm sorry I'm not a real big fan of pork either, but I'm telling you I would choose it over not eating. I'd be grateful that me and my family were eating. Especially if I'm depending on somebody else to feed me.

OMG! I was realy hoping that this was going to be an article from the Onion or another satirical site. I'm really at a loss here. I just can't understand the mentality to DEMAND changes to something that is purely charity. More proof that no good deed goes unpunished.
So many more thoughts running through my mind right now, but I'll just leave my comments at that in an effort to remain civil.

MSG Wade Huffman , when I first saw the headline, I skipped by it, thinking it was an Onion article, too.
