Hate-filled racists are outraged to hear that Muslims can eat Toblerone chocolate bars.

This is NOT from the Onion.

"Members of Europe's far right have called for a mass boycott of Toblerone, after discovering that the popular triangular chocolate bar is halal-certified.

Halal is an Arabic word that denotes that a food or service is permissible according to Islamic law. It excludes foods containing pork or alcohol, and requires that animals are slaughtered by a Muslim by a cut to the throat, without being stunned.
Toblerone has not changed its recipe, but some online commentators have taken badly the news that its factory in Bern, Switzerland, achieved a halal certification in April -- with the federal spokesman of Germany's nationalist AfD party claiming it showed the "Islamization" of Europe."

Why do we tolerate shit heads who make it miserable for everyone? Seems to me as a planet we just need to find a place on earth so all the racist idiots can move there and never be bothered by anyone beside their little group.

I'd say maybe West Texas but then I think that would not be nice to what few good people actually live in West Texas...
