The Sun Online - News: Muslims win toy pigs ban
NOVELTY pig calendars and toys have been banned from a council office — in case they offend Muslim staff.
Workers in the benefits department at Dudley Council, West Midlands, were told to remove or cover up all pig-related items, including toys, porcelain figures, calendars and even a tissue box featuring Winnie the Pooh and Piglet.
Bosses acted after a Muslim complained about pig-shaped stress relievers delivered to the council in the run-up to the Islamic festival of Ramadan.
Muslims are barred from eating pork in the Koran and consider pigs unclean.
Councillor Mahbubur Rahman, a practising Muslim, backed the ban. He said: “It’s a tolerance of people’s beliefs.”
Now don't that just beat all. Sorry - been watching the Andy Griffith Marathon on TV Land. The picture of an animal is so offensive that folks have to ban poor Piglet from the workplace. These disgusting ragheads show up for work wearing tablecloths for hats, reeking of body odor, and violating every existing dress code known to man, and the cowardly Brits are fearful that even a depiction of a little bacon on the hoof will so infuriate these barbarians that they'd better play it safe and not take the chance of an office-jihad being declared.
Pitiful. A once brave and proud nation reduced to this. Can you even begin to imagine what it'll be like 10, 20 years from now? I can. Give Europe another quarter century and it's civil war.
