The Camel's Nose

The Muslim Students Association at the University of Toronto demanded that halal meals be served at Bluff's, the campus restaurant. The university, showing the proper dhimmitude, caved in like a Styrofoam cup filled with petrol.

Problem solved? Hardly. The MSA promptly showed their sense of compromise and reconciliation by saying that the change in the menu wasn't good enough because the restaurant still served alcohol and played dance music. According to Ahmad Jaballah, a former MSA executive and current Scarborough Campus Students Union VP students and equity,
This initiative was brought forth solely by Bluff’s without ever consulting the MSA or Muslim students. If this was a deliberate accommodation, it’s kind of offensive in giving us the food in a manner unsuitable to us.
Translation: That's what appeasement gets you.

How does that "camel nose' expression go?

I'm more familar with camel toe.
