About "friend's" racist Facebook post

A friend of mine has form for posting anti Muslim crap on her Facebook feed. A few arguments about it. Really annoys me but we've know each other for years and years and offline the subject doesn't come up and we get on really well. I'm going to just unfollow her but we will still be "friends" if that makes sense.

Anyway she posted a picture of a bacon sandwich saying this shouldn't be allowed to be offensive, share if you agree.

AIBU or is this complete crap? I don't have a Muslim friend I could ask but surely no one is going to be offended by that any more than I would be of a picture of their halal dinner?? Sorry if I am wrong and if I have offended anyone I apologise. I genuinely want to know if it is offensive or if it's just one of those stupid Britain First posts that make up that muslims are offended by such and such and then post it everywhere.

Sorry for typos; on a new phone.

TIA

Ummm... Everyone's talking about Muslims and pork but it was my understanding that Jews don't eat pork either? I guess I'm thinking the reaction from the bigoted side would be different if the man had tied bacon to the door of a synagogue.

Expat. Sadly I can confirm that the level of racist bullshit facing jews is also on the up. Muslims are the current scapegoats for all ills in the (racist wanker's inadequate and tiny) world but Jews still run a creditable second.

There was a chap in Trafalgar Square last night ranting about the global Jewish conspiracy and how Germany had it right in 1940 and that every last man, woman and child should be gassed. The terrifying thing was that he didn't sound like a deranged nutter, he sounded like an evangelical preacher and people were listening. Lots were tutting but a few were nodding. Memories are short.
