Couple singing Peppa Pig tune to toddler 'forced off bus after complaints .... (offended Muslim)

Daily Mail ^

A couple were thrown off a bus and branded racists after singing the Peppa Pig theme tune to their autistic daughter, it has been claimed. Nick Barnfield and Sarah Cleaves were travelling with their daughter Heidi on a bus from Sheffield to Doncaster when the 15-month-old started crying. The couple, who live in Rotherham, started singing the song in an effort to cheer their daughter up, but say they were branded racists by another passenger and told to get off the bus by its driver. The couple claimed the woman, who they say was wearing a hijab, took offence to the snorting sounds in the song and believed they were a reference to how pork is forbidden in Islam though this has not been confirmed.

soon you’ll have to convert or die on a bus from Sheffield to Doncaster

Peppa! Causing trouble!

[DonaldC]

People who believe in false idols are the most offended.

[LeonardFMason]

Porky Pig hates Muhammad.

Well, at least they still have their heads attached to their bodies . Never know what can happen when dealing with members of the religion of peace.

I'm sure England will now stop showing Peppa Pig cartoons.

Hijabs are offensive — no wearing them on the bus.

[alloysteel]

Two simple concepts that should be written into law codes everywhere:

1. Do not do provocative things that get others highly offended.

2. Do not be so easily offended at the smallest of provocations.

People are overly sensitive to hurts done to them, but are absolutely tone-deaf when it comes to the grief they impose on others.

If this had been posted as satire, I would have denounced it as bad satire.

But it's evidently not satire. Would would (will) happen when some Muslim gets offended because the Queen is not wearing a burka? I suppose the Queen would just put one on.

[bigbob]

seems to me that muslims singing songs about pork should be encouraged

[Jonty30]

That was definitely a real possibility in the age of cell phones and all.

Not to losing their heads, but being surrounded by a couple dozen Muslims and having the crap beaten out of them.

[Carl Vehse]

Remind me again, will you, on why we bothered rescuing the United Kingdom from the Nazis in WWII?

[Leaning Right]

I would agree with your second rule, but not the first. it is the right of a free people to be as provocative as they want, as long as the "provocation" does not interfere with the rights of others.

I despise Hitler. But if some fool wants to quietly sing a Nazi song to his child on my bus, he should have the right to do so as long is he is not too loud.

If his song offends me, too bad. It's a free country.

[SkyDancer]

Get over it ... the UK has gone over to the mussies.

[expat2]

You were helping British people, not Pakistanis then. Now the Brits are oppressed in their own country by the muslim Pakistanis.

[dayglored]

Sorry, there is no "right to not be offended". In fact, the U.S. Bill of Rights and other similar documents are specifically to protect offensive speech and print. Non-offensive speed and print DO NOT NEED PROTECTION.

At the point where we grant a "right to not be offended" we have totally lost any semblance of free speech or print.

[dayglored]

Oops “speed” => “speech”.

[Arthur McGowan]

“offended Muslims”

Dept. of Redundancy Dept.

I blame no one but the Brits themselves. They voluntarily brought this on themselves, now they will have to figure a way out of it.
