Mayor never lectured Muslim parents about pork in school cafeterias and the surprising truth behind the seemingly recurring scandal

We live in an age where information can travel across the internet in a matter of seconds and spread like wildfire. But what happens when a piece of news persists for years even though it has long since been revealed to be false? Welcome to the world of Internet hoaxes, where a chain letter has been making the rounds and heating up emotions for a decade. A look behind the scenes shows how persistent false reports can be and why it is important to rely on fact checks even in times of viral spread.

The Mysterious Beginning: Canada, 2013

It all started ten years ago in beautiful Canada, more precisely in the city of Dorval, a suburb of Montreal. The story sounded shocking: Muslim parents are said to have called for pork to be banned from school canteens. But how could such a story even come about?

From genealogy hoax to global phenomenon

The origins of the “Muslim parents call for pork withdrawal” hoax lies in Canada, where it began as a seemingly harmless joke. But over time it developed into a real hoax that began its journey around the world. In the years that followed, the chain letter appeared again and again, traveled from Canada to the Netherlands , to France and finally ended up in Austria .

CANADA: Muslim parents have called for pork to be banned from school cafeterias.

I just have to share this, my respect for this politician: Muslim parents have called for pork to be banned from school canteens. The mayor of Dorval, a suburb of Montreal, refused this request and explained why he did so in a newsletter to all Muslim parents: “Muslims must understand that they have to adapt to Canada and Quebec. They must understand that it is their lifestyle that needs to change, not the Canadians who have so generously welcomed them. You must understand that Canadians are neither racist nor xenophobic. Canadians accepted many immigrants before Muslims. (The reverse is not the case. No Muslim state accepts non-Muslim immigrants). Just like other nations, Canadians are unwilling to give up their identity and culture. Canada is a country with a welcoming culture. Strangers are welcomed not by the mayor of Dorval, but by the population of Canada and Quebec as a whole. Finally, Muslims must understand that in Canada (Quebec), with its Judeo-Christian roots, Christmas trees, churches, and religious festivals, religion must remain a private matter. The Dorval City Council has the right not to make concessions to Islam and Sharia law. Muslims who have a problem with secularization and therefore feel uncomfortable in Canada have at their disposal 57 beautiful Muslim countries, most of them under-populated, that welcome immigrants with open halal arms, in accordance with Sharia law. If you chose Canada over another Muslim country, it was because you knew that life in Canada is much better than where you come from. Ask yourself: Why is life in Canada better than where you come from? Because there is pork in school canteens!” Hardly any politician in our country dares to do that… No Canadian politician has allowed himself to do that either

FRANCE: Muslim parents have called for pork to be banned from all school canteens in the Metz suburb of Borny.

The mayor of Metz, Dominique Gros (PS), refuses to remove pork from the school canteen menu, explains why. Muslim parents have called for pork to be banned from all school canteens in the Metz suburb of Borny. The mayor refused and the clerk sent a message to all parents with the following statement... “Muslims must understand that they must adapt to Lorraine and France, to their customs, traditions and lifestyle, because that is where they have chosen decided to immigrate.” He must understand that he has to integrate and learn to live in Lorraine. They must understand that it is up to them to change their lifestyle, not the French who so generously welcome them. You must understand that the French are neither racist nor xenophobic, they accepted many immigrants before Muslims (there is no opposite, that is, Muslim states do not accept non-Muslim immigrants). As in other countries, the people of Lorraine have no intention of giving up their identity or culture. And if France is a country of hospitality, then it is not Metz mayor Dominique Gros (PS) who welcomes foreigners, but the French Messins and Lorraine. Finally, they must understand that in Metz (Lorraine) we have Judeo-Christian roots, Christmas trees and religious holidays, but religion must remain private. The city of Metz, a royal and imperial city, rightly rejects any concession to Islam and Sharia law. For Muslims who disagree with secularism and do not feel comfortable in Metz Lorraine, the land of Joan of Arc, there are 57 beautiful Muslim countries in the world, most of which are underpopulated and ready to join them open Halal and Sharia-compliant attitude to welcome arms. If you left your country to come to France and not to another Muslim country, it is because you think that life in Lorraine is better than elsewhere. Just ask yourself: Why is life in France better than in your country? Then, after honest and calm reflection, you will see the light flooding over you and driving the obscurantist from your mind. A canteen where we serve Lorraine pork with snout or Lorraine quiche with a good Lorraine strawberry or mirabelle plum cake is part of the answer.” The mayor is right, everyone believes it, but saying it is something else. If you're like me, send it to all your contacts. Otherwise, delete it and let them invade us. Respect me and I will respect you!!!!!!!!!

They have to understand that they have to be the people who change their lifestyle, not the Dutch.

The formula remained the same: Muslim parents “demanded” the withdrawal of pork from school canteens, and the respective mayor responded with a seemingly strict statement on integration.

The power of repetition and emotion

But why is the hoax so persistent? The answer may lie in human psychology. The combination of controversy, questions of identity, and emotion make this story a perfect candidate for sharing and dissemination. The outrage over supposed demands and the mayors' supposed steadfastness reinforce the need to share the message with others.

The Truth Revealed: Fact Checks and Education

But reality looks different. Years ago, in 2015, the city of Dorval denied the false report and emphasized that the mayor had never made such a statement.


MIMIKAMA

Briefly, the content of this denial : The report refers to the mayor's alleged statement and the stories that have formed around this statement. The city of Dorval and the mayor who is said to have made the statement make it clear that these statements are false and were not made by the mayor or a city employee. The newspaper report considers the story to be a hoax, which it believes comes from the USA and whose similar words are said to have been uttered by a Belgian mayor in 2013. This was also a hoax that spread worldwide.


Nevertheless, many Internet users ignored this clarification and continued to share the chain letter as if it were true. This shows the danger of false reports and the importance of fact checks. The truth can be suppressed, but it will eventually find its way.
