Why would a restaurant in a predominately Muslim area bother to keep pork in stock? That's a waste of money when all or most of it will spoil before being sold.
I doubt restaurants in Kiryas Joel, New York, have ham sandwiches on the menu either.

Exactly.
It's just a business decision based on the demographics of the people they serve in their community. Period.
Just like business decisions not to bake cakes for gay couples or business decisions to have separate drinking fountains, right?
Stop using us (I'm talking about my Bi/Pan ness, not my being trans) as political footballs to bash another oppressed minority group. You've talked about how supporting us is "identity politics" for how long now?

Funny, considering Islamists (as well as other religious sects) have been using gays/bi’s as political footballs in the countries they control. Besides, they even prefer gay people transition as it’s much more acceptable to them than same sex partnerships. Perhaps, you can find common cause with them.
Projection much?
Hofoid, I can't take you all that seriously in your defense of LGBT and women's rights when your one source is the often very homophobic and mysogynistic Daily Mail

I doubt he actually cares about those groups, he's just using them as a way to try and kill all muslims.
Considering that I'm bisexual and a supporter of 2nd wave feminism, perhaps I have more at stake than the pro-Islamist, neoliberal, diversity Quota (even to the detriment of equal rights) gang.
I didn't know second wave (and 90% of modern second wavers are regressive and disowned by the rest of the movement) feminism was obsessed with ending identity politics.
