Piglet Under Islamic Attack

Kosher Jews don't eat pork but all the ones I knew when I lived in NYC were never offended by Porky Pig. That's because Jews don't embrace their faith like childish fanatics instilling xenophobia and hate in their members.

If you want to forego the delights of bacon and ribs that's your business, but don't try and give me grief because you're offended by the sight of me consuming a BLT.

And if you're offended by Piglet or Porky Pig , then you truly are an idiot and there's no need for anymore dialogue.

Read about this ridiculous catering to Muslims in England. Tolerance of people's beliefs, Councillor, would mean the Muslims tolerate diversity in the office and not force their ridiculous prohibitions on others.


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.”
