Several KFC restaurants in Australia have removed bacon from their menus, to avoid offending Muslims: No pigging out at KFC. (Hat tip: Israellycool.)

FOUR KFC restaurants have taken bacon off the menu in favour of Muslim-friendly products.

The Endeavour Hills, Fawkner, Keilor Downs and Flemington KFC outlets have all dumped bacon from fillet burgers.

At Endeavour Hills, “sold-out” stickers have been placed over bacon products on its drive-through menu.

Customers are offered alternatives such as cheese or pineapple.

But Australian Muslims should not be taken in by the schemes of the infidel Colonel:

But the human rights co-ordinator for the Islamic Council of Victoria, Bilal Cleland, warned KFC’s menu may not in fact be halal.

“We hope that people are not taken in by this scheme. Just because you take the bacon out of the burgers doesn’t make the food halal,” he said.

“There has to be authentic certification that the food is halal and I haven’t seen any evidence of that.”

He said that all the meat, including chicken, must be certified as halal before it was acceptable to Muslims.
