Austrian Restaurant Displays Sign: 'Pork Eaters Are Statistically Less Likely to Blow Themselves and Others Up'

Excitement in Bad Ischl, Austria! The catalyst is a host renowned for his humorous remarks. His text on people who eat pork is explosive, and for some, it crossed a line given the already tense political climate. However, many others support the restaurant owner’s perspective.

A sign outside his establishment boldly declares: “People who eat pork are statistically less likely to engage in self-harm or cause harm to others.” It is reported that the message is primarily directed at Muslims. Online, there’s a buzz as images of the statement spread rapidly. Some individuals feel “deeply disappointed and attacked,” while others perceive it as “pure racism.” [Note: Islam is an ideology, not a race.]

In an Austrian newspaper, a reader expressed how this text left him breathless, calling for “messages of peace” as the situation was already very tense. However, opinions aren’t as neatly divided as the paper suggests. A look at the comment columns reveals significant support for the innkeeper. “It’s a bit harsh, but unfortunately, he’s right,” remarks one Facebook user. Another writes, “Sometimes the truth hurts.” Many others agree, stating, “He’s absolutely right.”
