NOVELTY pig calendars and toys have been banned from a council office in case they offend Muslim staff.
Workers in the benefits department at Dudley Council, West Midlands, were told to remove or cover up all pig-related items, including toys, porcelain figures, calendars and even a tissue box featuring Winnie the Pooh and Piglet.
Bosses acted after a Muslim complained about pig-shaped stress relievers delivered to the council in the run-up to the Islamic festival of Ramadan.
Muslims are barred from eating pork in the Koran and consider pigs unclean.
Councillor Mahbubur Rahman, a practising Muslim, backed the ban. He said: Its a tolerance of peoples beliefs.

I guess they can't "bring home the pork" anymore either.

Disgusting how many Westerners fall all over themselves attempting to appease the unappeasable.

In case no one has heard, it's now the Islamic Republik of Britainistan..You'd think Britain would demand Muslims accept being in Britain, instead Britain is being made to think they're in a Muslim country...(shakin head)..they're winning in Britain without firing a shot..

Other office workers should display Crosses, Crucifixes, the Star of David on their desks and office walls. After all, 'tolerance for the beliefs of others' is now a precedent.

That's exactly what the problem with muslimaniacs are, they just don't get enough bacon in their diets.

Hot Spam egg, Spam, Spam, & bacon sandwiches everyday for lunch; pig skin shoes & belt; pig leather briefcase; pork-pie hat, though that may be too subtle for them to understand.
Pray on every break & at lunch. Wear a prominent cross.
Any other suggestions to show how "tolerant" the hamophobes are?

Muslims don't like pigs because pigs remind them of themselves.And in that comparison, it's the pigs that should be offended.

Say someone had a pet pig - had a portrait made of the pig along with family members - wanted to display it on their desk.........what then? I would buy a pig just for that purpose.

When was the last time a Jew asked that Piglet and Winnie tissue box be removed? This isn't about being offended. It's about control.

Over here in the States, we believe that killing innocent people to earn a ticket to heaven is wrong.
In fact, it's one of our most sacred beliefs.
Is Mr. Rahman going to demand tolerance for that from his compadres?
