En un ayuntamiento inglés se ha tomado la decisión de retirar toda referencia a los cerdos (incluyendo una caja de pañuelos de Piglet, personaje de los cuentos de Winnie de Pooh) para no "ofender a los musulmanes".
"Workers in the benefits department at Dudley Council, West Midlands, were told to remove or cover up all pig-related items, including toys, porcelain figures, calendars and even a tissue box featuring Winnie the Pooh and Piglet."
"Is it really a victory for "tolerance" to say that a council worker cannot have a Piglet coffee mug on her desk? And isn't an ability to turn a blind eye to animated piglets the very least the West is entitled to expect from its Muslim citizens? If Islam cannot "co-exist" even with Pooh or the abstract swirl on a Burger King ice-cream, how likely is it that it can co-exist with the more basic principles of a pluralist society? As A A Milne almost said: "They're changing guard at Buckingham Palace/ Her Majesty's Law is replaced by Allah's."

En el nombre de la tolerancia a las sensibilidades musulmanas...
