BERLIN-Germany's upper house on Friday approved legislation banning all sausage stalls in Germany to avoid insulting Muslim "refugees".
The reform considers all sausage stalls in Germany as illegal from October the 3rd. The recent spurt of Muslim "refugees" immigrating to Germany was subject of fierce debate among politicians how to make migrating people comfortable as much as possible. To cultivate the "Willkommenskultur" meaning "welcome culture" used to encourage help for hundreds of thousands "refugees" coming to Germany, politicians have agreed on the new legislation.
The leader of the Green Party complained if Muslim "refugees" see sausage stalls in Germany they might get insulted and cannot be absolutely welcomed. "We need a more fundamental 'Willkommenskultur' and welcome all Muslim 'refugees' because they enrich our culture. If they see all the sausage stalls here they, will hate us," points out the leader. "We want that all 'refugees' absolutely love us."
Under Islamic law the swine is considered as an unclean animal not good enough for Muslims to eat and strictly prohibits the consumption of pork. But most of the German sausages are made of pork which would be disrespecting Islamic culture.
Franz Schnurr, a currywurst stall owner in Berlin, is desperate. "I am in business for 40 years here in Kreuzberg. This currywurst stall is my life and now they're telling me to shut it down? Did Germany lost its mind?" Feeling of resentment towards the government has spread among most of the sausage stall owners. Only Frankfurter Rindswurds stalls are not prohibited yet because they are made of pure beaf meat. Also locals seem to be desperate. "Everyday I eat sausage. How should I feel German if I couldn't eat any real German sausage made of pork," says Paul Luckner, a student at the Freie Universität Berlin.
