Mulling over George Pope to Steve Asher 21 Oct 2005

Well, while it is apparently OK to have copies of the Koran that
advocate jihad against the enemies of Allah, it is not OK to have
hate objects that might offend Muslims ... such as ... piggy banks. 



Piggy banks banned

25oct05

BRITISH bank bosses are banning piggy banks in case they offend Muslim
customers.

The Halifax and NatWest banks are worried pig-shaped money boxes could
upset clients.

They will be scrapped from leaflets or posters, and children will be
encouraged to use bank-shaped boxes instead.

However, a Muslim MP, Khalid Mahmoud, said: "A piggybank is just an
ornament. Muslims would never be seriously offended."

You would hope that Muslims would never be seriously offended by a
piggy bank ... imagine their horror if they came across a copy of
seditious hate literature in the library - "Three Little Pigs".

Cheers, Steve..
