As Patronizing Morphs into Dhimmi
"Well if one can’t patronize them whatinthehell are wogs for?!?"
A junior school production of the children’s story [Three Little Pigs] has been renamed the Three Little Puppies for fear of offending Muslims...
waait for it.... BACKFIRE!
Shaykh Ibrahim Mogra from the Muslim Council of Britain branded the move ‘bizarre’.
..."There’s an issue about the eating of pork, which is forbidden, but there is no prohibition about reading stories about pigs. This is an unnecessary step."
That’s gonna leave a mark.
Local councillor Terry Lyons added: “I can’t believe that Muslims would be offended by this. This is pandering to a few extremists. People will take umbrage at this decision, making it easier for the BNP to recruit."
...Which would be a bad thing how, again?
Allah, who sings about pigs all the time
There’s another story - about the movie “300”. Somebody wrote a letter to our local paper complaining that the movie insults Persians. (If you don’t like history, don’t read it.)
He said that the producers were thinking about calling the other guys Zoroastrians, for fear of insulting Persians. What wimps.......
Then the letter-writer was insulted because they thought about using Zoroastrians.
Some days you just can’t please anybody.
The “3 Little Pigs” story could only happen in England.
Until later this year, when it happens here.
We could just call it “The Three Height-Challenged Animals of no Particular Genus”. (That way, we don’t offend anybody.)

And I will always love the British term “barmy.”Posted by TC@LeatherPenguin on 03/16/07 at 08:43 AM
