Well, well, well...

It turns out that pork soup IS racist, after all.

PARIS — A top French judge ruled that an extreme-right group cannot serve pork soup to the needy, saying the charitable handouts aim to discriminate against Muslims and Jews who don’t eat pork because of their faith.

Judge Christian Vigouroux of the Council of State, the country’s highest administrative body, said late Friday that such giveaways by the far-right group Solidarity of the French threaten public order.


Firstly, I wonder what evidence they have that this group is "far right"?

Secondly, look at this bit:

His ruling approved a decision by Paris police to refuse permits to the group on the grounds that such handouts could spark angry reactions.


Guess which of the two religions might react angrily. If you're not sure, just ask Jyllands-Posten.
