They need to ban Muslims. Muslims annoy me — that’s reason enough to ban them.

They couldn’t care less about offending Jews. No Jew ever complained about reading about pigs in a book.

Nah, that will never happen until they ban Muslims in the USA.
In the meantime, expect another 9/11 times 50!

How about, rather than deleting the words, just doing what they do when dealing with Christians by using G_D. They could use p_g. Or better yet, just call it the “P” word. That would cover pig and pork! :/
Years from now, when these ‘wizards of smart’ have appeased the aggressors in every way, have embraced Islam, have given up all freedoms, only to find that their very existence is offensive to Muslims, they will kneel, bend their necks and await the sword, to the very end, too stupid to realize they are responsible for not only their own demise, but the end of western civilization and millions of good people.
To: Steelfish
Hopefully they won't extend this to their Oxford Classical Texts of Greek and Latin authors. It would be hard to print Aristophanes' Knights without including the Sausage-Seller.
To: Steelfish
Do we have to say the "P" word(pig) now?....
LOL.............

Calm down, this is one stupid decision by one stupid company. Even the UK Muslim community (and British Jews) think its stupid.
To: Steelfish
Are people allowed to refer to a pig as swine? Or is that forbidden?
Do people now have to say fat pink things with curly tails?

Is oink a pork-related word? LOL, maybe, but I also wonder if sooie is a pork related word as well. I wonder if the Muzzies and their supporters know what FOAD means? If not, they need to find out.

Don’t insult vaginas. You want your mother to know you made such a vulgar and stupid remark?
