Piglet is found to be offensive to Muslims in England

By Aussiegirl

But what about Miss Piggy or Porky Pig? First we yield to this PC nonsense, eventually we will all be wearing burkas so as not to offend the delicate sensibilities of Muslims.

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.

Boy, this is really taking political correctness to new heights--or is it new depths? With such delicate sensibilities, no wonder Muslims find it hard to live in the modern world!
