Much ado about pork soup

I read an interesting news article from France just now. According to the news article, the French police raided a charity soup kitchen run by Solidarity of the French (SDF) and shut down its operations. According to the French police, the ( pork ) soup handouts is racist and discriminated against Jews and Muslim. For religious reasons, Jews and Muslim do not eat pork.

However, the French court rejected the Police claim and ruled in favour of the charitable organization, allowing its soup kitchens to continue to offer pork soup to the homeless, and anybody who asked for help. The Mayor of Paris, Bertrand Delanoe, was outraged by the court's decision and urged the French police to appeal the ruling. He said "Faced by this initiative which stinks of xenophobia, I want once again to express city hall's desire to fight all forms of discrimination, racism and anti-Semitism."

Come to think of it. I really love the French people. Their poetic politicians are religiously sensitive, historically romantic, and sentimentally patriotic. I do not know much about the French men. And I for one, happened to have very high regards for French women. Due to my previous limited exposure in Quebec, Canada, I would like to consider French women are the most beautiful and sexy women on earth. I love the phonetics of French tongues savouring their sexy lips. I am not an MCP, but credit must be given if it is worth the mention.

Coming to anti discrimination on religious ground. I just wonder, whether the mayor of Paris would also consider banning any beef soup ? Because the Hindu are forbidden to eat beef on religious grounds. For chicken soup, can the mayor take measures to ensure that the slaughtering of the chicken go through the Islamic's "HALAL" process ? If the chickens are "halalled", we may have another problem, because some fanatical non-Muslims are forbiddened to eat HALALized chickens because it is against their religious belief ! By the way, wines and liquors are also forbidden to certain religions. Please remove wines and liquors from all your official functions. Animal (horse, dog, etc.) racing is a form of gambling, and gambling activities are also forbiddened in some religions. etc. etc... So here you go, and the list goes on..... Thank you so much for your righteousness and sensitivity.

Bonjour Monsieur Bertrand Delanoe, after you removed "discriminatory" practices in food preparations and servings, can you also look into another issue that is also equally discriminatory and righteous ? Maybe, perhaps, maybe you can also championed the French people to banned import from and export to racist or human rights abusing countries ?

Show the world the French's way of sensitivity, tolerances, righteousness, and morality ! Let the world learns from France. Maybe the United Nations Headquarters should be relocated to Paris !

In the name of religion sensitivities, I do really wish some sensitive souls out there can observed my religious sensitivities and minority rights !!!! Crying baby always gets the milk ? Can somebody out there teach me how to cry with big droplets of crocodile tears...... ?
