Toy Pigs Banned in Brit Council Office |
http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2005450600,00.html
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: Its a tolerance of peoples beliefs.
[and once again, tolerance is twisted to support intolerance]

Religious priviledge in action. Would they do the same for a
swinophobe? No -- Well maybe if he asked, but he'd be considered an
unreasonable nuisance.

That's fucking ridiculous.
This is the left-wing version of the neo-cons in action.
An example why extremists of both sides are evil.
You can see the evil here, Fred, why can't you see their symmetrical
opposites doing things that are just as evil?
You're halfway there.

By the way, french fries are not French. They're actually probably
Belgian. During WWI, American and Canadian soldiers, stationed in
Belgium were served "pomme frites" which is French for "fried potatoes."
However, they were in Belgium and in a predominantely
French-speaking area, they called it "french fries" when they brought
them back to America.
Another theory is that they're "french-fried potatoes" where "french"
means to cut into strips before frying.
Either way, it has nothing to do with the country of origin.

No, towelie, they're not banning pictures of soldier's coffins. They're
just not letting reporters take pictures when the coffins arrive in the
US.

Next you'll make excuses for the demand that women should wear the hijab

more pictures from the old Abu Ghraib incident.
You're halfway there.

Nobody is asking you to "toe the liberal line." The reason I'm criticizing
you is because you refuse to acknowledge your heroes are imperfect.
