I read today that muslims don't like that word, they want it to be called something else, like a boerie, etc. I will rather not tell you what my suggestions would be.
 
all I can say on this :erm:

The Muslims taking over the fundamentalist Christians...
Just be reminded it is not all of them though.

The stupid/ignorant ones maybe. A hot dog is a hot dog. Make it all the time.

Food outlets selling hot dogs in Malaysia have been asked to rename their products or risk being refused halal certification.
The Malaysian Islamic Development Department, a religious government body, said it adopted the ruling after complaints from Muslim tourists.
Director Sirajuddin Suhaimee said the name might cause "confusion".
"In Islam, dogs are considered unclean and the name cannot be related to halal certification," he said.
Malaysian halal food guidelines say "halal food and halal artificial flavour shall not be named or synonymously named after non-halal products such as ham, bak kut teh, bacon, beer, rum and others that might create confusion," local media said.
Muslim-majority Malaysia practises a moderate form of Islam but conservative attitudes are on the rise.

Muslims in SA have no problem calling Hot Dogs by its name. Its featured in many Halal restaurants and Take Aways as such, some even list Hamburgers yet there is no ham in it. Its only in Malaysia that its an issue and they choose to rename it. Its simply word play and the country is a Muslim country so they can do as they want.
