Another patently ridiculous notion- novelty pig calendars, toys and even a tissue box featuring the image of Pooh and Piglet, have been banned from a council office in Britain incase they offend Muslims. A local Muslim counciller, without any apparent self-awareness, called it; "tolerance of people's beliefs."
This isn't the first time that Muslims have successfully had the image of a pig banned- some time ago a town in the south of England planned to restore a park, in which there was a statue of a pig. The statue had been damaged during the bombing of World War 2 but before that had stood in the park for some considerable time. Of course the local Muslims complained about the filthy creature statue and the council decided to ignore their own history in favour of the delicate sensibilities of the immigrants.
I wonder how long it will be before Muslims try to have pork banned from schools and government cafeterias? Odd that Jewish people who are also prohibited from eating pork have made no similar demands.
What about tolerance for the British customs and history? I guess we'll just have to do without.
