Early Learning Centre bans toy pig from farmyard set for fear of offending Muslims (but keeps sty and oink noise)

A children's shop has removed toy pigs from farmyard sets in case they offend Muslims and Jews.

Political Correctness at its best. Pathetic!

Are they serious? Then wtf do you see when you visit a fecking farm? They going to throw a blanket over the pigs or shoot them incase any muslims decide to pop along?

I hate this country more and more by the day

Last night, the retailer did a U-turn and agreed to bring back the pigs after disappointed families complained at such a move driven by political correctness.

Good on them - should never have happened in the first place!

Don't get me started on my local KFC and having Halal chicken - and no bacon in their daddy burger...

Whilst on the subject of pigs, here's a bit of lateral thinking.
.

In Sevilla, Spain local people found a way to stop the construction of another mosque in their town. They buried a pig on the site, and made sure this would be known by the local press. This land had been sold to the muslims by the government.

Islam forbids the erecting of a mosque on "pig-soiled ground" and the muslims had to cancel the project. No protests were needed by the local people...and it worked!

If this month was April people would think yeah OK April fool very funny, but this is utter stupidity so what do tell my grand son when he wants to know what the oink oink sound coming from his Early Learning Center Farm is with no pigs in it, I'll say oh it must be the farmer farting in the sty

You can be safely assured that no muslim will have had anything to do with ELC's decision. Why do non-muslims have to assume offence on muslim's behalf?
Last year one northern town had "Winterval" instead of Christmas. The local muslims had nothing to do with it at all, it was the council.

its the daily mail so probably never even happened

What if we go leave some pig heads in existing mosques? Will they tear it down?

 

[dave]

at least they build their own mosques, not like the Christians who stole all their stuff off other religions

That's because all religions are corrupt and violent!

Think of how many pigs were/are alive, where have all those bodies gone? There must be a bit of pig in probably every acre at least...its stupidity!
