A halal supermarket in France has been ordered to start selling pork and alcohol or face being shut down.
Good Price discount store in north-west Paris has been accused of breaching the conditions of its lease by not acting as a general food store, the local housing authority has claimed.
It argues that the local community in Colombes are not being served properly at the shop if no pork or alcohol products are sold there.
[...] The shop is allegedly prioritising a certain group within society which breaches the country's principles, the authority said.

The mayor of Cannes in southern France has banned full-body swimsuits known as "burkinis" from the beach, citing public order concerns.
David Lisnard said they are a "symbol of Islamic extremism" and might spark scuffles, as France is the target of Islamist attacks.
France is on high alert following a series of incidents including July's truck attack in nearby Nice.
Anyone caught flouting the new rule could face a fine of €38 (£33). They will first be asked to change into another swimming costume or leave the beach.

The terrorists are winning. They're going to keep on winning until we all might as well be under Sharia law anyway.
First, they forced the supermarket to sell bacon++ and alcohol.
Then, they forced people to eat bacon++ and drink a glass of wine once per day.
And I didn't give a shit because that's how I was already living.
Hmm, oh well. Maybe we can get government subsidized bacon++ and booze out of this!
No, who the hell am I kidding. I live in the USA. We'll be forced to buy $10 of pork products and booze every day whether we consume it or not or pay $3650 extra at tax time.
