A plane at 37,000 feet is for all practical purposes in neutral territory and a public place in which nobody's culture predominates unless it's the Red Eye to Mecca for the annual hadj.

I would literally have the airline managements publicly flogged for kowtowing to Medieval minorities who are intolerant of non-Muslims having the freedom to eat a Western diet in the neutral environment of a plane at 37,000 feet.

I'll sympathise with the Qantas management when I hear that their food policy favours the Western culture passengers during the inbound flights back to Australia.

By the same token ~ burqas are banned in France and Belgium, and soon to be in Italy and Holland. By your own rules, shouldn't this mean that no passengers flying via Air France or Air Italia inbound for these countries should be allowed to wear a burqa?

You see how messy and culturally 'precious' it all becomes?

But anyway, I take your point.

So okay ~ let's agree upon a fair-and-equitable compromise that should satisfy all parties.

During flights from Muslim countries to Western countries both pork and halal foods are on the menu.

The Westerners don't have to eat the halal foods, and the Muslims are not compelled to eat the pork meals.

Pigs are not sacred to Muslims, and so no 'disrespect' is being shown by Western passengers who eat a pork meal.

The problem is that of letting a particular culture predominate to the effect that other people are not given the right to practice their own cultural heritage ~ and this in the neutral environment of an international airliner at 37,000 feet.

You're trying to rationalise why Westerners should be happy to submit to this Islamic mono-cultural fascism in the multicultural environment of a international passenger jet.

I didn't know the Muslims had became the majority shareholder in Qantas.

Sir Spot of Borg wrote on Apr 8^th, 2013 at 8:20am:


So it would seem, and the question begs: Why aren't Western airlines also banning pork on trips to and from Israel?

Could it be there's less chance of violent retribution from Jews than there is from Muslims and their Religion of Peace?

Yes we do. It's always been a case of a multicultural menu ~ with alcohol ~ and let every person chose for themselves.
