Amazing the last bastion of Anglo-Saxon culture is evidently the backwoods of Appalachia. And nowhere within the British Isles.

The Muslims aren't too fond of dogs, from what I've read.

Why stop there. There is lots of revisionism left to do. They had better rewrite Rossini's "Italian Girl in Algiers" because its Papatachi scene will definitely infuriate Muslims. or Mozart's "Abductions From the Seralio". Clearly no women would ever want to leave an Islamic seralio (sacasm intended).

Why should that be a surprise? Cities and universities have always been bastions of liberalism, and Britain is more population dense than the US. They also tend to have higher crime and greater poverty. Imagine that... ;)

I think they should have renamed it the Three Little Donkeys. Out of sensitivity for Muslims, you know. ;) Perhaps have a dancing number on a portrait of Mohammed. To honor him with the bottom of their shoes, you know.

Every time I see that photo my eyes start spinning in their sockets and a migraine creeps in. Don't look at that photo and then play video games, you'll have an epileptic seizure.

It's not like they were forcing the Muslims to eat The Three Little Porkchops.

OUR culture should be respected too. Muslims who want to live in the western world will just have to accept that WE are sensitive about the new-comers who want to change OUR culture. Westerners who practice PC are not very sensitive to the rest of US.

How about "The Three Little Jews" or "The Three Little Christians"? I am sure there would be no complaints then.

I guess no one told these sensitive but silly ignorant bastards that Islamists are not fond of dogs either....

It goes back to the time a dog bit Mohammad's ass - I think.

A junior school production of the children's story has been renamed the Three Little Puppies for fear of offending Muslims.

LOL, Muslims don't like dogs either.

Traditionally, dogs have been seen as impure, and the Islamic legal tradition has developed several injunctions that warn Muslims against most contact with dogs. Unfortunately, many Muslims have used this view to justify the abuse and neglect of dogs, even though cruelty contradicts the Qur'an's view that all animals form "communities like you." We are pleased to present several articles examining the place of dogs in Islam.

Wow. How stupid and ignorant. Dogs are just as unclean as pigs. (Mohamed was a cat person.))

How about the "three little pedophiles" in honor of their "prophet" (piss be upon him)?

And then there is the internecine issue raised by depictions of conflict between dogs and wolves; how does that serve to erase stereotypes as we witness the ongoing struggle between the Shiites and the Sunnis?
