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.

Mr. Rahman would agree, of course, as it demonstrates empathy with a young child's beliefs. Empathy and narcissism are diametrically opposed, and empathy is a little known characteristic of (modern) Islam, a non-existent characteristic, in fact.
And really, what kind of grown-up goes around complaining about dolls anyway?

"Muslims are barred from eating pork in the Koran and consider pigs unclean ( including anything with pictures of pigs which includes movies , greeeting cards, calenders , menu`s , advertisement signs etc....., anything made from pigs (pigskin), anything that has the shape of a pig which includes childrens toys , novelty items etc... anything that uses a pigs name , anything that would lead to a Muslim even thinking about a pig : like the words spam , football , Porky , french fry , farm , bank , tiny hotdogs , etc....." ) So this means that if my last name were "Pigman" or "Pignoletti", I would get fired from my job to please the muslims?

HEY If we had all US flights have a pig on board. Would that help keep Muslim Terrorists at bay? It's a thought.
We might also try ringing US buildings vulnerable to attack with pig pens. Or maybe we could coat the steering wheel of vehicles entering Bahgdad with lard? UMM?

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. Yes yes yes yes YES!!! Were you aware that Islam actually forbids any depiction of a creature. Shortly these citidiots will have to go cartoon-free, not just Piglet-free. Jihad amain!

""So this means that if my last name were "Pigman" or "Pignoletti", I would get fired from my job to please the muslims?""
Fired ? !! Oh, no.... You wouldn`t be fired, that would be insensitive.
You would simply have to change your insulting name to something more pleasing to your fellow muslim worker. : )
