Its been branded as an offensive story because it has pigs in it which "might" be offensive to muslims

https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/7204635.stm

You can see how a far right wing party (BNP) could get into power with moronic things like this happening

The muslims in this office don't find it insulting. Confused In fact, they find it insulting that the braindead public would vote BNP on the false idea that they did.

Rolling Eyes

It reminds me of that university campus in America where swastikas were painted everywhere. Turned out the culprit was Jewish and doing it for attention.. Thumbs Down

Blimey. Now 6 months ago i'd expect a rant against Muslims.

Now, I believe (and hope Praying ) that you can see the shitty anti-muslim propaganda for what it is.

Cool and Karma to you for it.

It annoys me how our government and most of the nation tip-toe around Muslims, like they should be enshrined in the UK population.

If they get offended by a simple rhyme like that then they know where they can stick it?! Surely?

That goes for any minority group in the UK for that matter.

Jon,

It's actually the PC-tree-hugging-apologist-do-gooders that come out with these things, not the people in minority groups themselves.

It gets set up perfectly for spittle riddled ranting Daily Hate headlines for the general population to get outraged about and call for 'them to go back to where they came from'.

And round and round we go. Rolling Eyes

That seems to be the general consensus. If we commoners know the (perhaps vast) majority of the muslim community isn't really offended by the story of the Three Little Pigs, we should safely assume the government knows that too.
And muslims working at the BBC will be saying "the Three Little Pigs doesn't offend me, what a load of tosh". therefor we can assume the ultra-honest BBC also knows it to be a lie. Yet they keep spinning the same old yarn about muslims being offended.
The result appears to be a growing proportion of the non-muslim British population beginning to hate muslims, for the wrong reasons.

You're all circling around the problem. So which one of you is going to piece it together and tell us what's happening?

Regards

My girlfriend who I recently split up with is muslim, and I very much doubt any of her family or local community would actually give a fuck.

It's true people do tend to tip toe around religious and cultural issues but its bullshit, she like many young muslims raised in britain drink, smoke, and basically do allot of none muslim stuff.
Even some of older more orthodox muslims are more relaxed so things like this needn't be a problem.

All that tha people that make these objections to silly little things like this are achieving is more segregation, because then Joe-Bloggs is going to have a doctored view of muslims, and may be afraid to talk with them for fear of insulting them, or prehaps thinking they're just gunna moan.

If muslims weren't comfortable with this country then many of them wouldn't have moved here all that time ago, yes times change but as I understand it many muslims are rather happy with british life, and if not it would be no fuss for them to fly to thier ancestorial homelands. Which they don't because they like it here.

As for the rest of you...

Look, imagine if you were a bunch of Christians living in a Muslim country. If I wanted to stir up trouble and make you out to be the bad guy I could quite easily claim that "For the good of all Christians the whole country should ban Mosques".

See? Very, very basic provocateuring (sp?) and effective too; if anyone questioned my motives I could say I was just trying to help.

Did you read the page?

'Too offensive' was in quote marks in the title, the into specifies it's a government agency and later on goes to list several counter arguments.

It should be noted that this is only about the CRROM not receiving an award, rather than it being banned or requested not to be used by Asians etc.

Im not overly paranoid about the government brewing this shi*, i have ranted a lot about Muslims, but my brother in law is a Muslim and i know now when to step back and think, hang on, that's a lot of BS.

I dislike Islam, in whatever sense of the word, i don't dislike all islamic people. I do generalise sometimes but it's often the only way to get a point across. Thumbs Up

The world has gone totally barmy, we now have chalkboards instead of blackboards, and is it not true that children cant sing Baa Baa Black Sheep anymore, he is now a rainbow sheep!! WTF How many people have ever been offended by a black sheep & a blackboard?

The government is assuming too much & imo is increasing the racism in this country.

"that is just over the top extremism" - Fahd

Absolutely. That's the whole point. If the Muslims don't care that much, but the government and media are guilty of "over the top extremism", what do the government expect to gain from their extremism?

This reminds me of the "Campaign for Equal Heights" in Terry Pratchet books. A pressure group who claim dwarves are being unfairly discriminated against, except that all the members are human and spend most of their time explaining to the dwarves exactly how they are discriminated against. The dwarves just get on with their lives.

Your right, my daughters school has interactive 'WHITE' boards. I mean god, thats just SO offensive to white people. Rolling Eyes

When she was little I sang Baa Baa BLACK sheep to her, and I will happily say the word BLACK without giving a second thought to it being racist, BEACAUSE ITS NOT! Simple!

I've never seen a rainbow sheep before, they must live on farm's in mainly muslim countrys?! Laughing
