#5 Are you sure this wasn't originally published by scrappleface? Political Correctness creates situations so bizarre that they are indistinguishable from satire.

#6 "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."

Wait. If you're just not allowed to eat pork then why are Muzzies bitching about selling pork?

#7 "Shaykh Ibrahim Mogra from the Muslim Council of Britain branded the move 'bizarre'."

There really are sane Muslims! This pervasive Western fear of offending anyone offends ME - what are they going to do about THAT?

#8 I found halal hotdogs for the first at my grocers last night; they have never sold kosher. One more concession to the cultists...

#9 But Shaykh Ibrahim Mogra from the Muslim Council of Britain branded the move 'bizarre'. He said: "The vast majority of Muslims have no problem whatsoever with the Three Little Pigs. It's always been the traditional way of telling the story and I don't see why that should be changed.

"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."

This was my thought exactly. This isnt the muslims fault at all, but that of some silly school administrators.

Like the idiots who think that kashrut makes it illegal to play football (cause of the pigskin)

"Pigs are friends, not food"

BTW, Ive been in plenty of (non-jewish) stores that sold kosher items but not halal. Has to do with market demand, I suspect.

#10 "School renames Three Little Pigs to avoid offending Muslims"

They're wasting their time.

The ~~wanna-be jihadis~~ offensive moslems are offended by everything, including infidels having the unmitigated gall to breathe.

The normal muslims (like Mr. Mogra, and friends of mine) think they're ~~pandering, ignorant PC bigots~~ nuts.

I, on the other hand, think these clowns are pandering, ignorant PC bigots who set lower standards for those ~~lower than~~ different from themselves ~~because they all know "those people" can't live up to the same standards as white Westerners~~.

Pfui.

#11 Now it's going to be "Three Little Jews", and the wolf gets to eat them at the end.

#13 Kind of like how muzzies arent allowed to DRINK alcohol, but somoli cab drivers are making a federal case over not wanting to pick up passengers with a bottle of wine in their luggage.

#14 I like JM's allusion to the "Three Billy Goats Gruff." Should be changed to the "Three Nanny Goats Rough."

#16 I knew this was going on in the UK as soon as I saw the headline. What the hell is going on in that once-proud country? Has the common man/woman lost their mind and spine? Gill Goodswen should be pilloried and made publicly to look like the idiot she clearly is. She should also be fired for being, well, dumb.

#17 Islam really needs a single voice to stand up and say what the line is. Having a million mullahs with their own interpetations will lead to the world thinking their nuts.

That and the constant seething and blowing themselves up that is.

#18 "There's an issue about the eating of pork, which is forbidden, but there is no prohibition about reading stories about pigs.

"In fact we have lots of state issued textbooks that depict Jews and Americans as pigs. See? It's no problem for us at all."
