Good grief…

(Sky News)- A toy shop has been branded “ridiculous” by mothers after it removed a pig from a children’s farm set – in case it offended Muslim and Jewish parents. (there’s no way they were worried about Jews complaining, solely aimed at Muslims -ed.)

The animal was missing from the Early Learning Centre’s (ELC) HappyLand Goosefeather Farm when a mother bought it as a gift for her daughter’s first birthday.

The set did contain a cow, sheep, chicken, horse and dog, but the pig sty was empty – even though there was a button that made an “oink” noise.

When the mother named only as Caroline complained, she was told in an email the pig had been removed in case it upset Muslim or Jewish parents.

Eating pork is banned in both religions because pigs are considered unclean.

But the company has now done a U-turn and pledged to reinstate the pig because of complaints from parents.

Caroline, who brought the issue to light in a forum on the Netmums website, wrote: “This is political correctness gone loopy.

But some defended ELC and one parent said the company should have considered selling two separate versions of the toy, one with a pig and one without.
 
Dont bother stating that the ELC has now decided to reinstate the pig, eh busy?
 
MARKY

Remember 2 things

1-The REAL problem is BUSYBODY

2-A TWEET is a CALL TO VIOLENCE, teh following isnt!

The Black Flag Of Islam Will Fly Above Downing Street Say Bakri Protesters…


Meanwhile, their fearless leader Omar Bakri Mohammed is in a Lebanese prison, playing bitch on cellmate Ali Bubba’s prayer rug. Bottoms up!

(The Daily Star) — Hate-filled Muslim extremists vowed: “The black flag of Islam will fly above Downing Street.’ The protesters, supporters of jailed cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed, made the threat while demanding his release from a life sentence in Lebanon.

Abu Saalihah, a student of Bakri’s, said: “We will not rest until the black flag of Islam is flown over the White House and 10 Downing Street.” Bakri, who was banned from Britain in 2006, was sentenced in his absence to life for training and fundraising for al-Qaida. He was then detained at gunpoint by Lebanese security services after refusing to recognise the court.

The 52-year-old has referred to the hijackers behind the 9/11 attacks as the “Magnificent 19”.

At the demonstration outside the Lebanese embassy in London, supporters clutched placards reading: “Release all Muslim prisoners” and used a megaphone to chant: “Lebanese burn in hell.”

Preacher Anjem Choudhary, 43, who organised the demonstration, said: “Lebanon is a very divided country. “There is a very real chance that Sunni Muslims in that country will do everything they can to free Omar Bakri, even physically.”

Bakri’s 30-year-old son, Mohammed Omar Bakri said: “I am not here to ask for the release of my father, I am here to demand it. “All they want to do is silence my father.”

pussy pictures?!?! how have i missed these?

BB, you better shut the fuck up. i need to see some pussy.
 
I don't get it. They don't eat pigs because they are unclean.
WTF do they care if other people eat them, or keep them locked up in a pig pen.

Why are people walking on eggshells around Jews and Muslems.
Same as anything, if you don't like it, don't eat it.

They should get rid of the cows first because they are holy.

:confused:

Only meat from particular species is permissible. Mammals that both chew their cud (ruminate) and have cloven hooves can be kosher. Animals with one characteristic but not the other (the camel, the hyrax and the hare because they have no cloven hooves, and the pig because it does not ruminate) are specifically excluded.
