Fast-food chain alters its advertising program to protect feelings of Islamists
By Bob Unruh
McDonald’s, the international fast-food corporate giant, is submitting to Islam during this year’s Ramadan, a month Muslims believe is holy.
A commentary at PJMedia pointed out the company has decided to remove “food images” from outdoor electronic advertising signs in Germany during daylight hours.
It’s because during Ramadan, Muslims fast, and object to other people eating food, or even seeing images of food.
The Islamist population in Germany is only about 5.5%, but that is enough to make corporations change operations, apparently.
The report said, “Muslims may be a minority in Germany, but politically, they have power, and they are more than vocal. Get on the wrong side of Islam, and a violent response is a very real possibility. By working to become Islam’s favorite fast-food chain in Germany, McDonald’s could be hoping to buy a certain amount of goodwill with the demographic so that it not only makes money but also gets a pass at some point down the road when Muslims are upset about something else.”
