In Europe, where 47 million Muslims now live, more and more businesses are demonstrating their respect for Islam, hoping their sensitivity to Muslim needs will turn some — many — of those Muslims into satisfied customers.
The latest tale of Islamopandering comes from Germany, where all McDonald’s stores have chosen to observe Ramadan by taking the food out of its advertising. As they used to say, it’s just the sizzle without the steak. No burgers, no fries, no special sauce. Nothing to see but an empty paper container. Christine Douglass-Williams wrote about this an hour ago, and more on the latest example of preposterous kowtowing to Muslims can be found here: “McDonald’s Germany Runs Ramadan Ads With No Food,” by Michael Curzon, European Conservative, February 26, 2026:
McDonald’s in Germany is advertising burgers without the burgers during Ramadan. During daylight fasting hours, the company’s digital screens show only empty packaging, with the food reappearing at sunset for iftar, the fast-breaking meal.
“A simple idea,” says marketing newspaper afaqs, “that respected the moment.”
Commentator Vicky Richter jibed in response that “just when you thought Germany had exhausted every creative way to prostrate itself before ‘cultural sensitivity,’ McDonald’s arrives to prove there is always a lower floor,” adding: “Welcome to Islamic Capitalism™.”…
McDonald’s was determined to show its sensitivity to Muslims during “the holy month of Ramadan.” Apparently McDonald’s advertising staff thought the mere appearance on a digital screen of a hamburger was likely to be agonizing for Muslims who were trying desperately to avoid eating from dawn to dusk, and thus needing to be protected from possibly catching a glimpse of an offending burger and some enticing fries. But any Muslims who observe Ramadan are not going to be going into a McDonald’s from dawn to dusk during that month, so why should McDonald’s worry over a nonexistent threat to the mental well-being of Muslims who won’t be seeing any advertisement for those dangerous burgers and those sinister fries?
McDonald’s in Germany is going above and beyond any need to placate Muslims during Ramadan. What is next? Will McDonald’s run during Ramadan its new, food-less ads on city buses? In subway cars? On television?
McDonald’s has now opened itself to ridicule for its obvious and clumsy attempt to win Muslim favor. And at the same time, non-Muslims will take a look at those McDonald’s ads during Ramadan showing only cardboard containers but no food, be disgusted at the obvious pandering, and take their custom elsewhere. I live thousands of miles from Germany, but in a spirit of solidarity with the non-Muslims in Germany forced to endure this kind of thing, I will no longer be buying food from McDonald’s. Panera, here I come.
Do they stop showing hamburgers and milkshakes during the 40 days before Christmas, during which, if I understand correctly, Orthodox Christiams refrain from meat or dairy products?
And how about Lent. I guess I have to find another way to boycott the tarnished arches. I already don’t waste time(or more importantly)money at those touch food restaurants
What about Lent? We as Christians are now deep into the Lenten Season before Easter. Never has McDonald’s recognized those who fast and refrain from certain foods during the 40 days of Lent. So I think just get back to a normal Capitalist stance McDonald’s and dont pander to any one group. 🤔
Phuggum. Simple answer: Everyone boycott those idiots & patronize the competition.
Dear Patricia: I believe they introduced their fish filets for customers who observed lent.
I think it’s Jews that can’t mix dairy and meat. Two different refrigerators when being extra kosher. No cheese burgers.
Jews can’t have milk and meat TOGETHER
There are kosher McDonald’sed in Israel. Eastern Orthodox Christians abstain from both durimg thr 40 fays before Christmas.
Watch what happens next year in NYC. MamyRamaDanniDamDam will issue an edict strongly suggesting that restaurants cease serving actual food for a month.
Some of these restaurant owners will actually comply.
europe has SURRENDERED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to mooSLIME TRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Give me one good reason why the Judaeo-Christian West in Europe must pander to Islamocrap sensibilities, or observe Muslim holidays or festivals! Oh, wait… Europe is no longer Christian. And wait for it… NYC’s Mandami will have the “Call to Prayer” blasting out in all NYC boroughs before you can say, “Allah Fubar”!
The so-called fast during Ramadan is actually nothing more than skipping lunch. Big deal!
Germany surges in the European Islamopandering derby.
I wasn’t aware that MacDonald’s was halal anyway – so will they now extend this idea to not advertising their food anywhere ever because the sight of non Halal food would be offensive? Or will they start doing Kefir burgers in place of the sausage and bacon that they put in their breakfasts?
That’s idiotic. Wouldn’t it be simpler to just NOT advertise at all during that period?
By creating an Islamic-sensitive campaign, they are sucking up to millions of Muslims in Europe, as well as demonstrating their woke stance to Euro-leftists, Anne-Marie.
