Beurger King Muslim

BKM

The list of fast food chains in France has a new addition – BKM or Beurger King Muslim, which hopes to rival “McDo”, Quick and KFC with a gut appeal to the country’s large Muslim minority.

Young female employees face no ban on wearing the Islamic veils outlawed in French schools as they serve up burgers that would be off-limits for a religious crowd at competitors Quick or McDonalds.

Though “Muslim” fast food abounds in France with endless street-side shawarma shops selling sliced-meat sandwiches or kebabs, Beurger King Muslim is the first to clone the set-up and decor of American-style fast food joints so popular among French youth.

And not without humour. The name is a play on both the huge American chain as well as the French slang word “beur”, which means second generation North Africans living in France.

Customers can order “bakon halal”- a bacon burger made with halal meat, or meat prepared according to Muslim ritual, “double koull cheese” — “koull means “eat” in Arabic, or “koull filet”.

The first – and only – shop so far opened its doors last month in Clichy-sous-Bois, a suburb of Paris.

BKM’s originators said they hope to create a franchise and set up Beurger King Muslims all around France – whose five million Muslims represent eight percent of the country’s overall population.

I think this is very interesting.
It’s always good to see businesses like this popping up and creating more jobs for people in these neighbourhoods.
I wonder how the food tastes though.
Anyone in France willing to check it out and let us know?

  4. I actually made the journey and ate at this place. The food is surprisingly similar to what you would get in terms of taste and quality at McDonalds or BurgerKing. I had the BKM, which is supposed to be the imitation BigMac, and was just like it in every respect except the sauce was a bit different, but overall, it was definitely good.

    ASSALA-MUALAIKUM,

    PERMISSION TO REMIT US $21 MILLION INTO YOUR COMPANY OR PRIVATE ACCOUNT.

    It is my pleasure to write and inform you of a transaction involving the transfer of US $21,000,000.00 (twenty one million US dollars) only into a foreign account for safekeeping pending my arrival with my colleagues for the sharing with you as the account owner into which the money is remitted. I am an accountant with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Lagos and this money originated from over-invoiced contract executed for the corporation some years back. and the contract was the installations supply and erection of petroleum rings and turnaround maintenance of warri refinery, this contract has long been completed by a foreign firm and the contractor duly paid.

    I now seek if you would permit the surplus to be remitted into your account. As a matter of fact, we are top government officials and we cannot come out openly to claim this amount. This is why we are looking for a competent and honest company or individual abroad whose documents would be tendered by us here in Nigeria as one of the contractors that executed the project. However, I would wish to receive your personal assurance that you would not sit on the money when it goes into your account. More importantly, you keep confidential this transaction, in order not to tarnish the confidence repose in the officials involved in this transaction.

    To effect this transfer, I therefore request the following: YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER, THE NAME OF YOUR BANK WHERE THE MONEY WOULD BE TRANSFERRED INTO AND ALSO YOUR PRIVATE FAX AND TELEPHONE NUMBERS FOR QUICK COMMUNICATION. So far, after due consultations, you were strongly and reliably recommended to us although we have not met or entered into any kind of contract with you before as to know the extent of your honesty, but based on the recommendation, I personally want to believe that you are honest enough and would not sit on the money if finally got into your account. It is on this note that I consider it proper to write you asking for your permission and support to transfer this amount into your account. You should not fear any risk because we have concluded arrangement to safe guard you in the transaction. This business is 100% risk free. Hence it requires high level of confidence and secrecy.

    Meanwhile this is the breakdown of the sharing modalities:
    (A). 10% WILL BE USED TO SETTLE TRANSFER CHARGES AND LEGAL PROTOCOLS. (B). 30% IS FOR USING YOUR ACCOUNT. (C). 60% OF IT WILL BE FOR US THE ORIGINATORS. Be informed that on completion of this business I will use part of my money to invest in your country under your care. Please note that the transfer operation will take four to five working days to be completed. Please contact me by the above mobile phone, e-mail:albello_222y@yahoo.com or fax number: 234-1-4448187 phone 234-8038093708.

    Thanks
    Mr. Omar Al Bello.
