Article: ANC concerned about Woolworths pig head protest

A large majority of Muslims don't shop at Woolworths anymore, so I don't think it affected them that much. And in case, most Muslims also don't buy their meats from chain stores, but from privately-owned community butcher shops.

where do you shop? I'm often at north Joburg Woolies stores and I see ninjas as often as ever if not more. and with meat in their trolleys.

What irks me the most about this though, is the huge outcry from MyBB forumites about the pigs head, but they either say nothing when innocent palestinians are slaughtered

SO SORRY TO HAVE IRKED YOU
but please also note the lack of caring of innocent sudanese being slaughtered, the horrors of central african genocide, the cruelty of west african slave trade ignored and often unwittingly supported, could go on but maybe you can tell us why palestinian suffering is more important for us to not care about

These same people also don't get why cartoons of Prophet Muhammad are offensive, but cry about a pigs head being offensive.

these same people are crying but these same people are not issuing death threats to anyone

I dont think thats true, often see Muslims at our local store. Do you have any facts to back that up?

Mind you, only 1.5% of the population in SA is Muslim, so even if every Muslim decided to stop shopping somewhere, it would not impact sales significantly. I think the gay community is bigger :D

The world is filled with hypocrites.

NB: I don't condone the act of placing a pigs head in Woolies. There are other more effective ways of making a statement, but I do understand their message, and think that it has worked.

If by "worked", you mean it upset more people and made more people distrustful of your cause. Yup, it worked well.

I'm pleased they have responded but it took them a long time - a whole week

It is ridiculous to target all jewish people in this way in any situation, and perhaps more so when there are many fine people within that community who are outspoken in their opposition of the illegal occupation of Palestine

This is racism and only whites can be racist.
 
The one thing these people need to understand that South Africa is a melting pot of different religions and cultures because we are considered a safe haven for those who are persecuted.

I haven't heard of or seen 1 Jewish person in SA speak ill of Palestine or agree with the actions taken in Israel. So who are you protesting then?

If people can just stop trying to force their own beliefs or views on others and live and let live, the world will be a better place
 
well now since the muslims have been protesting for palestine they have shown their intolerance, yet not a single one can see it.

Funny how in a islamic country you cant practice your religion but they expect islam to be given special priority. They conveniently forget the horrors the islamic extremist do throughout the world and the best part is not a single muslim will say that the islamic nation must return any land they conquered in the past like iran. Its ok to be converted to islam by the sword but when islam loses its a big deal......... there in lies the hypocrisy

Israel has been kind in my opinion any other world super power wouldve just reduced them to ash considering the situation

So the muslim community is unhappy with woolworths so what ? why must we boycott them explain ?
