No problem offending Jews, I guess.

Preparing themselves to be good dhimmis? Or maybe just an outright conversion.

[Sthitch]

Why is it that I do not know any Jewish people who are offended by piggy banks, stuffed pigs and the like? Might it be a product of education? Muslims are told that swine are evil, and should never even be seen, while most of those of the Jewish faith realize that the prohibition is against eating pork, not seeing representations of them.

Pass me the duct tape when you're finished!

[PeterPrinciple]

Muslims don't believe in usury, do they? So are they really potential customers?

[AmishDude]

Ya know, nobody ever worried that piggy banks offended Jews before. I guess the lesson is, if you're a religious minority, you have to start blowing up people to get any proper respect.

[RatRipper]

If Muzzies want to be that sensitive, screw 'em. I don't perceive them being the least bit considerate of my beliefs. If my bank kow towed to that kind of foolishness, I would move my accounts - and I work there!

gotta get a MOO-COW bank


OOPppps...no the hindu's will have a sh*tfit.


How about a Bill Clinton bank. It lies to you about how much money you have in it.

[GregoTX]

Ya ... lets everyone change to appease the muslims. That is always the smart thing to do. After all, its the wave of the future. Excuse me while I beat my forehead on my desk.

[kellynla]

ya know I reeeeeeely could care less what offends Muslims...

if they don't like our customs, they can pack up and go back to whatever hellhole they originated from...

'cause one more 9/11 type terrorist attack in America and they're gonna have to pack up anyway,

[Paleo Conservative]

Excuse me, but banks that charge interest are offensive to Muslims.

[sheik yerbouty]

"Muzzy Dearest"?

[Vaquero]

I guess giving the corpses of dead Islamics to Mr. Wu to dispose of would be right out......kind of like right up there with Black Jack Pershing.

[laney]

LOL...I wish I still had my piggy bank Porky was pink and cute!

[bonfire]

I think we need to start a Charity and send millions of piggy banks to the middle east. Bibles, piggy banks and mini-skirts. And maybe pork rinds disquised as veggie chips.

How about a Bill Clinton bank. It lies to you about how much money you have in it.

Are there severe penalties for early withdrawl?

[Abathar]

Why doesn't the Euroweenies just commit mass suicide and get it over with? It's what the Muslims want anyway, their very existence is deemed repulsive so why not bow to their wishes and give them the ultimate appeasement. I'm getting to the point of rubbing my money on bacon first and then hoping it goes through the Dearborn Bank and Trust a few dozen times just to let the money smell like hickory smoked pig.

[Hadean]

Muslims do not eat pork...

And no one eats piggy banks.

[safisoft]

How come banks never feared offending Jews with piggy banks for the last 100 years?

Easy. Jews don't spontaneously explode while peacefully visiting infidels.

/Religion of pieces alert.

[Vaquero]

that would be the blue dress deposit.

[mwyounce]

That's what I thought! :-)
