The practice of political correctness may soon be tallying another casualty: the pig. Increasingly, as America and the rest of the Western world continue accommodating Muslim religious demands, pork food products are being singled out for removal from dining tables and pig-related trinkets banished from the desks of office workers.
If this continues, good ol American food, such as barbeque replete with hot dogs and ribs and the typical American breakfast of eggs, bacon and sausage, might be seen as the equivalent of political poison. Could outright censorship of pig depictions in drawings, pig references in literary works and pig portrayals in movies be far behind? Could the well-known, cartoon figure Porky Pig become a cultural embarrassment of our unenlightened past as we fear to utter the P word?...
In 2004, a Muslim-owned investment company, Arcapita (formerly Capital Crescent Investments) acquired the 1,200-unit Churchs Chicken chain. In 2005, Arcapita, with a net income of $70.5 million and assets worth $1.2 billion (2004), enjoined a franchisee from selling pork products. In correspondence with the franchisee, the corporate owners cited violation of shariah law as the reason for prohibiting the sale of bacon, ham and sausages.

Ah so they are going to use the oil money to buy up everything and make us sharia compliant via captialism. I guess just another nock in their quiver.

We had country ham biscuits this morning.
Unless we are willing to allow those who make such demands to drag us down to the level of their darkened awareness; we must get rid of the real "pigs" by removing these muzzies from the dining tables and offices. They are too uncivilized to be allowed roam and breed in a contemporary society. They must be returned to their natural habitat.
They can have my bacon when they pry it out of my warm, greasy fingers...
Now we need a cartoon with a pig body and a Mohommed face.
Now everything can taste like bacon.
I hate to even post this because I know that it is a conspiracy theory, but I can’t help think about it.
I have a friend who has raised pigs all her life. This week she just sent the last of her pigs to auction and quit. The pigs stopped reproducing and the last few litters died within a year of birth. She didn’t have the money to do an investigation, but a friend of hers who was having the same problem, did. The verdict was contaminated food.
