Another pork dish for Muslims - this time BBC says sorry
Anadolu
LONDON, Aug 26: The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has apologized for promoting pork dish for the major Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr.
BBC told the Turkish news agency Anadolu Agency that the dish "pork vindaloo" was included among Eid al-Fitr recipes posted on its website by mistake.
It said that the automatic suggestion system caused the mistake. BBC apologized for the inconvenience it caused.
Earlier, Muslim people reacted harshly to BBC's mistake.
Hakan Camuz, chairman of the Independent Industrialists' & Businessmen's Association (MUSIAD) in the United Kingdom, told the A.A that BBC had the vision to be aware of importance of the Eid al-Fitr for Muslim people.
"But it is unacceptable that BBC could ignore the fact that Muslim people do not eat pork. This is disrespectful," he said and called on BBC to apologize from Muslim people.
Ahmed Versi, editor of the Muslim News, said that BBC made a big mistake by promoting a pork dish for Eid al-Fitr.
