They should change it to "The Three Little Martyrs" and the Big Bad Wolf could be the Great Satan.

"Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll nuke your little turd of a country back to the stone age!"

It could be a great moral lesson for both sides.

"We feared that some Muslim children wouldn't sing along to the words about pigs,' she said.

What hogwash (pardon the pun) Muslims sing about pigs all the time at the mosks every friday.

They sing:

"Jews are the sons of monkeys and pigs Abra daba allah do! Christians and Jews together are out to get you, abba dub allah scobie shamoo!"

""Mohammed hated dogs."

That's because:

Bukhari:V1B4N174 "During the lifetime of Allah's Apostle dogs used to urinate and pass through the mosque. Nevertheless they never used to sprinkle water on it."

No, they just prostrated on the ground and kissed it regardless if the dogs pee'd there. BUT..
Bukhari:V1B4N137"Allah's Apostle said, ‘The prayer of a person who does Hadath (passes urine, stool or wind) is not accepted till he performs ablution.'"

Apparently,Dog pee wasn't the only obstacle to avoid when praying in the mosk..

And all this time, you thought "Monty Python's flying circus" was a comical sitcom of British life, when in reality, it was Brit drama.

Committee member Gill Goodswen, head teacher of Stile Common Junior School, defending the move.

She said: "We have to be sensitive if we want to be multi-cultural. It was felt it would be more responsible not to use the three little pigs.
"We feared that some Muslim children wouldn't sing along to the words about pigs,' she said.
"We didn't want to take that risk. If changing a few words avoids offence then we will do so."

These are the people that are killing America. Gill Goodswen is an idiot liberal. If the parents don't do something, there will be nothing left.

"Mohammed Imran, of the Hanfia Mosque and Educational Institute said: "According to the Koran it's forbidden to eat pork or touch a pig, but there's no ruling about talking about them or singing about them."

Yeah, it now appears that the UK is surrendering faster than the muslims can complain.

I just fired off an e-mail to a friend in the UK. I asked some pointed questions about this. We'll see what he has to say.

Maybe Mad Ivan will weigh in on this issue...

"Three Little Puppies?? Now I'm offended, who do I complain to?"

The funny thing is, Muslims don't like dogs one bit, either. Pigs are probably more unclean than dogs to them, but dogs are unclean as well, and wild dogs are horribly abused and tortured for sport in Muslim countries.

This is really a double-dose of stupid because to Muslims dogs are just as unclean as pigs so you gain nothing by changing it to 'The Three Little Puppies.'

I think you nailed it.

The funny thing is that the Muslim council dude actually sounds the most sensible.

In this case, it's the U.K. that's being killed (see my link to the Kirklees government page up above in #58). If you scan the Q&A there concerning the "Asylum Seekers", you'll see the local government responses to questions such as "Why can't we just send them back where they came from?" The answer, evidently, is that we're already under U.N. rule.

Someone else posted this comment, and I'll repeat it: Western Civilization's headstone will read: "We didn't want to offend..."

Oh, one other bit of trivia. Kirklees is the place where Robin Hood is said to have died; killed by someone who bled him to death with deep cuts and leeches, if I remember the tale correctly. There are once again leeches in fair Yorkshire, sucking the very life out of England.
