UK: Three Little Pigs 'too offensive' for Muslims

UK: Three Little Pigs 'too offensive' for Muslims
"The use of pigs raises cultural issues." Indeed. Many cultural issues. And questions of cultural suicide.

"Three Little Pigs 'too offensive,'" by Sean Coughlan for the BBC News (thanks to PRJ):

A story based on the Three Little Pigs has been turned down from a government agency's annual awards because the subject matter could offend Muslims.
The digital book, re-telling the classic fairy tale, was rejected by judges who warned that "the use of pigs raises cultural issues".

The awards which rejected the book are run by Becta, the government's educational technology agency.

The judging panel also attacked the book's stereotyping of builders.

The book's creative director, Anne Curtis, said that the idea that including pigs in a story could be interpreted as racism was "like a slap in the face".

Indeed.

I thought the muSSlims could relate to the wolf 'blowing houses down' (or 'up' in their case).

What about 'The Three Little Arabs' with a 'Big, Bad Israeli' bulldozing their houses down?

"I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house down."

Sounds like a perfect motto for the affirmative action movement.

What is the symbolism in the three little pigs.  There has to be some symbolic meaning.

"not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin"?

Jeremiah 8:11-17

11 They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. Peace, peace, they say, when there is no peace.

12 Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when they are punished, says the LORD.

13 'I will take away their harvest, declares the LORD. There will be no grapes on the vine. There will be no figs on the tree, and their leaves will wither. What I have given them will be taken from them.'

14 Why are we sitting here? Gather together! Let us flee to the fortified cities and perish there! For the LORD our God has doomed us to perish and given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against him.

15 We hoped for peace but no good has come, for a time of healing but there was only terror.

16 The snorting of the enemy's horses is heard from Dan; at the neighing of their stallions the whole land trembles. They have come to devour the land and everything in it, the city and all who live there.

17 See, I will send venomous snakes among you, vipers that cannot be charmed, and they will bite you, declares the LORD.

Love your Enemy
And Heap Burning Coals on his Head!!!

In this Muslim Nazi Cult is no truth. Gentiles are not bound to Kaschrut. This is a fact. >:(
