Calm down, this is one stupid decision by one stupid company. Even the UK Muslim community (and British Jews) think its stupid.
My God! You are the Scottish police force of FR. I hope Jim pays you for your tedious and ongoing duty to make sure no one insults your precious Britain.
The fact of the matter is that Oxford University Press (not exactly a small publishing firm) has now sought to claim it was Jews (as well as Muslims) who complained about “pork-related” words. An outrageous lie that fooled no one. This is akin to Harper Collins (an American firm - I’m not shy about attacking my own) banning Israel from its published atlas. When the blowback got too bad for them, they pulped hundreds of thousands of those atlases. Let’s see if Oxford backs off turning Charlotte’s Web into a non-piggy type kiddie book.
Since I now refuse to buy from Harper Collins, I’m going to have to burn my Oxford press copy of Mrs. Beeton’s Book of Household Management.

It’s a notable indicator of a much larger problem.
