3 Little PIGS - political correctness gone mad!

I remember the story of the 3 little pigs when i was a child, i even bought the story for my daughter as she was learning to read. I was flicking through my local paper yesterday and came across this news story (which incidentally if you google, it appears in the australian news!!)

Piggy story: basically a re-working of the classic story didnt make it on to the shortlist of a government award because it may offend Muslims.

I would laugh out loud if it didn't anger me so much! MUSLIMS are not allowed to eat pork THAT'S IT!! We are allowed to wear clothes with pigs on it (my neice has Disney piglet pajamas!!), at Muslim schools we keep the Pig from the farm set we give to children, we watched the Simpson Movie and laughed at the Spider Pig  joke (my daughter has a Harry Plopper t-shirt with shock horror a PIG on it)!!!!!!!!

There are some ignorant Muslims out there, who cant even say the word pig they have to spell it out like it's some sort of swear word -GET A LIFE - we just can't eat PIG we can say the bloody damn word!!

The media have sensationalised this story and turned it into yet another Islamopobic attack by making out that the Muslim community would be offended by this book, well we are not. The judges only said they would not recommend this book to Muslims, it did not give it as the sole reason for not shortlisting the book, so I do blame the media for picking up on this silly story as well as the publishers of the CD for sour grapes!

Rememvber the old nursery rhymes we used to sing at school? They have all been changed or completey reworked due to political correctness- instead of BAA BAA BLACK SHEEP, we have BAA BAA KIND SHEEP we dont have Jack and Jill and Goosey Goosey Gander anymore!

Incidentally, while we are on the subject of Islamaphobic articles, if you do an archive search of news related items on "Muslims" on any news website, you will find the number of articles featuring Muslims has steadily increased since 2001 - a coincidence? On my local news website in 2000 only 1 article contained the word Muslim, by 2005 this had increased to 79 and in 2008 there are already 5!
