I wonder if muslims will be offended by Miss Piggy...doing her Janet Jackson impersonation? I predict riots in the streets.

The reason they ban piggy banks for fear of offending muslims but not jews is that muslims tend to blow things up when offended. Jews don't. It really is that simple.

I think we all agree with that statement!!

Maybe they need to ban the toilet paper in the Men's restrooms too!

Jews [most] are not demented.

We don't eat pork but neither a piggy bank nor pigskin nor the story of the three little pigs nor Miss Piggy offends us.

Jihadist Moslems (in deeds or thoughts) offend us.

Since they are soo behind the rest of the world, muslims have found promoting a culture of victimhood is the only way they can compete and gain sympathy from idiot liberals and the MSM. The whole "plight of the palestinians" is a perfect example. The only plight is the one they create for themselves. But the MSM and pillow bitting liberals buy it hook, line, and sinker.

Another example of the "when we immigrate to a country, we expect the country to conform to us, not we conforming to the country" agenda that the politically correct crowd and guilt ridden liberals promotes and people like muslims abuse to spread their ideals.

This is just sickening. The Brits whjo don't want to convert to islam should all just emigrate now and just turn the country over to them. With this kind of leadership the country is going to islamic in a few years anyway...why stick around and endure the pain of the changeover?

Offended by a piggy bank but not offended by sending a child to explode themselves for the pedophile Mohamed who promised them 72 olives, yes they are olives and not Virgins for all you would be suicide bombers.

No problem... We can offr the jihadi banks. Kinda like the motorized coin banks from a few years ago, but the gears and motors are *secretly* made of C-4. Drop a penny & GO BOOM! They can "save up" for their 72 raisins!

Pigs are an anathema to the Jews just as much as they are to the Muslims. The Jews were in Britain much before the Muslims. And their reputation as a positive addition to
Britain is quite unlike what can be said for the
Muslims of Britain. Then how so is it that Britain is doing their bit of appeasement toward the wretched Muslim extremists?

Muslims do not eat pork, as Islamic culture deems the pig to be an impure animal.

No ever seemed to care that JEWS don't eat pork. This is just over the top.

Next time a non-muslim child arrives with a piggy bank, will the bank have him arrested?

Why are they not concerned about offending non-muslims?
(Other than the obvious: absence of fear)
