A British Muslim, dismayed by his young son’s wish to become a pig rather than a doctor, has taken on a mission to effect the removal from television of Peppa Pig, the much-loved animal character whom he claims inspired his child’s unusual ambition, according to the Daily Mirror.
Zayn Sheikh’s campaign includes a Facebook page called “Muslims against Peppa Pig“ that features a video – shared more than 9,000 times – explaining his reasons for pursuing the ban.
“Some of you, right, might have seen this abominable creature before, right, this Peppa Pig. Haram pig,” Sheikh says in the video.
“As Muslims it is very important that we do not eat meat of the pork,” he explains.
“It is completely wrong that our kids are being shown these things on TV and my son ... he wants to be a pig now.”
“I think that we need to change this so I'm going to set up a Facebook group, ‘Muslims against Peppa Pig,’ and instead, because children still need cartoons to develop their minds, I propose we introduce Abdullah the cat.”
In addition to the Facebook page and video, Sheikh has also collected more than 100 signatures on an online petition called “Remove Peppa Pig from TV.”
But Sheikh’s campaign to ban the pig is facing resistance, with thousands of Peppa fans determined to save the character from the chopping block.
They have even set up a Facebook group called “Save Peppa Pig from Muslim Fanatics” whose introduction states: “Please all you Peppa Pig fans must post your favourite piggy videos and photos right away and save our precious pig.”
And on Sheikh’s own Facebook page, the most frequently posted retort went along the lines of “Just don’t let your kid watch the show!”

Lord, is there anything that DOESN’T upset muslims?
Oh, yeah, I forgot...the beheading of infedels.
At least he realizes there should always be “the”
before pork, due to it’s regal status as fine cuisine.
(I would certainly put it before goat.)
Has anybody’s child actually seen this show?
He also doesn’t know about eating “the pork” to prevent
being hit by lightening as in the old saying...
“Any pork in a storm.”
Children usually don’t want to eat favorite cartoon characters. If they grow up thinking pigs are fun and anthropomorphic, they’ll be less likely to eat pork.
Muslim cowards always ready and willing to cut a head, but can’t find enough courage to cut off a TV!
A Pig is a grand creature with intelligence, far beyond anything capable of muslim.
Did anyone ever tell you that you’d make a terrible Chupacabra?
moslems hate children including their own children. Evidence is everyone a civilized person cares to look.
everyone should be everywhere
Chupacobra tastes just like The Pig only
with bigger teeth.

Interesting choice of words....
Any chance this is a joke or spoof?
Sadly....
If the kid’s a Muslim he’s already well on the road to pigdom.
Let the protestors take to the streets!
I’m not sure, but I think this cheery animation is Polish.

I don’t imagine they are the least bit offended by the Palistenian Mickey Mouse knock-off character who teaches children that Jews are for killing.
