Rum Flavored ice cream offends Muslims

Hat tip to AOW.

HATE preacher Abu Hamza claimed his human rights were breached because he was served RUM ice cream in prison. The hook-handed cleric, 50, said the sweet broke halal rules because it contained alcohol. A source at top-security Belmarsh jail in Woolwich, South East London, said: “It’s utterly barmy and a massive over-reaction — most prisoners would see it as a treat.

Abu Hamza is a convicted terrorist, and is on record as saying this about alcohol vendors.

"Make sure that the person who gave him the license for that wine shop doesn't exist any more on the Earth. Finish him up. Give him dawa (inviting non-Muslims to accept the truth of Islam). If he doesn't respect dawa, kill him."

Video of Hamza's speaches. But to offer Hamza a non-halal ice cream is a violation of human rights.

“All he has to do is say he doesn’t fancy his pudding.”

Other notorious terrorists in the jail — including dirty bomber Dhiren Barot, 35 — have joined the protest.

It is backed by a website linked to controversial lawyer Mudassar Arani.

The site said: “Muslims were provided with rum ice cream. This obviously contains alcohol and therefore could not possibly be deemed compatible with the Islamic faith.”

It also claimed that Muslims were given yoghurt containing traces of unsuitable products.

The site urged inmates to write to their MPs to complain their rights are being breached.

Hamza is no longer in a position to make his captures not "exist any more on the Earth", so he's just going to have to sue, and the prison authorties promptly caved, apologizing all over themselves.

“Regrettably, non-halal food was offered in error. It was quickly substituted with appropriate halal alternatives.”

That's a good dhimmi.
