Madness.

The next thing is they'll be banning pictures from council offces that have living things in them. Im Islamic art you can't portray anything which is living. In past times Muslims got round this by producing tiles otr rugs featuring birds etc. all of whom had their throats cut.

It'll be the office calender out the window next, featuring those offensive 'living' fluffy kittens.

Re: Piglet to be banned!!!!!!
 
theyve even banned tissue boxes with pictures of little pigs on them!

Re: Piglet to be banned!!!!!!
 
There was recently the story of the Muslim cleaner of an art school in south London who objected to the displaying of students work on the wall while she worked, some of which featured gasp 'naked' life models. Thankfully she lost her case this time.

If you don't like something either seek another job or do one, go on a pilgrimage to Mecca and don't come back.

Butcher's shop windows will have to be blacked out as well like sexs shops, so as not to offend passing Muslim.;)

PC gone mad......if you ask me. We are the host country.......if these people find our values, lifestyle and culture so horrible then why don't they move.
No one is forced to stay here.

In fact Trevor Philips.... the head of the CRE has said that we pussy foot around the sensibilities of the Ethnic minorities too much.......and that this attitude is responsible for causing alienation. He reckons that If all the large organisations didn't bend over backwards to ensure literature is printed in every Asian Language you can think of..... then these people would integrate better. A lot of the people that the literature is aimed at can't read the language anyway... this is especially true of the women.

i have a question if we were to turn around to the muslims and tell them that we dont like the way they do things and complain to our authorities about it would we be the ones that get classed as rascist??

slinky 06-10-2005 15:40

Re: Piglet to be banned!!!!!!
 
I don't like the way they talk in their own language when they can talk perfect English!!!!!! is this to be banned??

I don't like the way they park up at the side of each other gabbing while you wait behind them to move!! do they get their cars confiscated??

I don't like how they get their own Christmas off, but me, I have to work my Christmas.......

If they didn't like it over here, they wouldn't be very keen to visit our country, then set up home here would they??


Blah blah whateva!!!!!!

Sorry to say this BB but yes it would proberbly be racist and a court appearence would be the outcome because of the way the race law is structured.

Re: Piglet to be banned!!!!!!
 
What really gets me is that this local Muslim leader can say, in all seriousness -

"It's a tolerance of people's beliefs".

So what happened to tolerance of OUR beliefs? I was brought up on Winnie the Pooh - long before the majority of the poeple whose beliefs WE are expected to tolerate ever thought of living here.

Tolerance works both ways, or should. We are selling our souls in the name of political correctness.

I HAVE A PIG ON MY DESK - AND IT'S STAYING THERE!!!

(If I didn't have one, I would probably have gone out and bought one after reading this.)

Can we start a move amongst Accywebbers to revive the old Lancashire tradition of fattening a pig in the back yard? - there was a time when everybody kept a pig, fed it on the household leavings, and then killed it for food (link with Meat Stinks, anyone?). One family would kill their pig and share it out amongst the neighbours, and then the next pig to be killed would be shared out, etc, and so on. This is one of my beliefs, that we should be able to revive this. How much tolerance do you think I will get from our Muslim spokesman friend?

baby boo 06-10-2005 16:06

Re: Piglet to be banned!!!!!!
 
love that idea pendy, maybe we should ask my dad to keep one in the back yard of the stag and keep fattening it up and at one of our accyweb meets maybe we could have a pig supper??? :D

Acrylic-bob 06-10-2005 17:34

Re: Piglet to be banned!!!!!!
 
Call me a grumpy, crotchety, old racist if you wish, but I find I have no time for the absurd self-imposed limitations that religionists of all stripes insist that we all kow-tow to.

Like the bumper sticker says " Your Sins, Your Hell, You burn in it!"

Well put slinks.

I don't like the smell of their food.
I don't like the fact that they get more help at the council/social/doctors etc etc etc.
I don't like they way there women walk behind the men - very sexist!!
I don't like the women covering there heads - who knows if it is a young girl or a male rucksack carring suicide bomber?
Why do they never get stopped by the police for having 8 adults and kids in a 5 seat car?

Re: Piglet to be banned!!!!!!
 
after walking past the asian butchers and seeing all the flies crawling over their meat , the state of the van that delivers their meat and their staff spitting at the shop door into the street i would be inclined to say that our bacon in its plastic wrapper was cleaner meat by far ;)

If I worked in that office I would wear my daughters jumper that has pigs all over it.

grego 06-10-2005 19:52

Re: Piglet to be banned!!!!!!
 
Thats true Spuggie, I also think that people assume others will be offended when really they dont care, I work with several people with Muslim beliefs, they keep their beliefs to themselves, they dont pull their faces if someone is eating ham butties etc its each to their own.

SPUGGIE J 06-10-2005 19:56

Re: Piglet to be banned!!!!!!
 
Where i work the only thing that matters is if you ar catholic or prodestant they dont worry about the rest. Its multi cultural multi lingual and for the most part we get on.

grego 06-10-2005 20:02

Re: Piglet to be banned!!!!!!
 
I think its a shame there's even that divide Spuggie, but thats perhaps for a different thread.

SPUGGIE J 06-10-2005 20:10

Re: Piglet to be banned!!!!!!
 
The attitude that would be taken up here is that if the muslim community dont like it they can lump it. There is not this yes sir no sir three bags full sir attitude. The kids like Piglet and what about the film Babe would that have to be banned as well.

grego 06-10-2005 20:16

Re: Piglet to be banned!!!!!!
 
Spuggie I agree very much with that, my partner is from Greenock and I know he would really like to move back to Scotland at some point, the no no nonsense attitude is great, just not keen on women being kept in their place!

Re: Piglet to be banned!!!!!!
 
What a ridiculous notion. If anyone complained to me about having a photo, cuddly toy or figurine of a pig in my workplace, I would tell them where to get off... It is this so-called PC attitude that is completely ruining integration. I find it diffucult to believe that the wider Islamic community actually give a toss about the fact that some of us find pigs cute/tasty... I think that a lot of Moslems are probably just as peeved as we are with all this drivel...

SPUGGIE J 07-10-2005 19:57

Re: Piglet to be banned!!!!!!
 
I asked this question in work and people thought I had lost my marbles completely. When I explained why I asked the vast majority of replies cannot be printed here and of those of the faith in question they are confused as to why this has happened especially as it is a toy for children. Not surewhat the outcome will be but the way things are going is anything of a childs a childs anymore?

Re: Piglet to be banned!!!!!!
 
If they don't like the way we do things here then they should just go home.
Simple as.
Nobody asked them to come.
Ok they have to have their legs covered.
Let them do so with jeans or pants.
We dont like a lot of things about them.
Can we complain.
Oh,no.
First the children lost the Golliwog.

Couldn't agree more. No-one was asking anyone to eat the flippin pigs! We are talking about ornaments and cartoons!!

How that man has the gall to talk of tolerance when all that has been shown here is intolerance of the ways of the host country. When the first complaint was received the complainant should have been told to stop being so petty and stupid.

The same day this story was in the Daily Mail my daughter was looking for a phone charger and the shop we were in is owned and run by muslims. Amongst the bits and bobs on sale were phone covers featuring Piglet, and little Piglet dangly things to put on phones for decoration. These guys obviously had no problem with them.

Best post of the year Neil, even if it's taken a cute pink piglet to get some of the accywebbers going it's a start don't let these people walk all over us without a fight.

Not that many Muslims up here to upset to upset, although I agree that the whole lot needs to be banned in my book "the lights I mean". If I remember rightly the younger Muslimsuse to come to Blackpool to let off steam after Ramadan, I must admit that you do get large numbers in summer and they like the lights.
