Every time I read this I make a point of adding pork chops, pulled pork, bacon, peperoni, and pork rinds to my diet.

This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed home,
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none.
This little piggy went
Wee, wee, wee,

They don't EAT pork, but even the Quran uses the damn WORD, morons!!!
Next they'll ban pics of pigs, which will offend Muslims who don't want pigs elevated to the same reverence as Muhammed. SMH.

I am going to make a book filled with nothing but the word pig, pictures of pigs, and cooked pig products.

Exactly. Merely banning the word itself makes zero logical sense. Political correctness gone insane.
Also, I hate to break it to my fellow freepers who love to taunt/mock Muslims by threatening to smear pig blood's on them and make them eat bacon, but pork products are EQUALLY forbidden in the Jewish faith, and for the exact same reasons (the Quran even references the OT books saying swine is unclean). Christianity is the rogue religion in this case.

Untrue.

Well, according to the article, the publisher wants to ‘avoid’ the topics, but not ‘ban’ them.
There’s a difference?

And what about Dudley in the Harry Potter books? Will they go back and change the story so Hagrid DOESN’T give him a pig tail?

I don't know if Muslims would accept Harry Potter type literature at all; they probably wouldn't be big on the ancient stories of Circe turning men into pigs, though they might believe that Djinns are still capable of doing so.
