UK: Cafe owner to fight order to remove extractor fan because smell of frying bacon offends Muslims
Striking back at absurd British dhimmitude. An update on this story. "Cafe bosses in 'bacon smell' row to fight ban," by Alex Scapens in the Manchester Evening News, January 5 (thanks to Benedict):
A cafe is to fight an extractor fan ban - after a neighbour complained that Muslim friends would not visit him because of the smell of bacon.
The Snack Shack, on Adswood Road, Cale Green, is to appeal against the decision by the Stepping Hill area committee.
The Planning Inspectorate will give a final ruling by the end of January.
The cafe installed the fan three years ago and applied for retrospective planning permission.
But neighbour Graham Webb-Lee told the council it made his family feel sick and his Muslim friends refused to visit him because they were offended by the smell.
The cafe is owned by Bev and Cetin Akcicek, who is Muslim.
Bev, 50, said: "We have two small children and are just trying to earn a living.
"We just wish this was over. It is pathetic and has cost us a lot of money. We pre-cook the bacon and only put it on the griddle briefly so there is no problem with the smell.
"We have Muslim customers who come in and they are not at all bothered."
The Snack Shack has cooked fry-ups for nine years without a previous complaint.

That's funny, because muslims tend to smell way worse than pigs - especially in the summer, blach.
So very many things upset Moslems.
They need to get over themselves and recognize that things such a frying bacon are "offenses" best ignored.
Ridiculous but this might have
legs as this in England. The
owners of the place are muslims
and they are frying the bacon!
I see no problem here except
that this is even an issue.
islam, the low point in humanity.
We need to always be aware that muslims are not 'offended' in a passive way, but more like someone who is constantly, actively looking for a fight.
When someone seeks to fight a battle, the slightest, stupidest excuse is enough, and any attempt to 'appease' him is futile, because what he's interested in is the fight, and not the fake excuse.
This is known as the 'zero bar-brawls prevented by telling a thug that his hair looks nice today' rule.
