THREE LITTLE PIGS BOOK - OFFENSIVE TO MUSLIMS

Published Wednesday 23rd January 2008 15:59 GMT

A digital book based on the story of the Three Little Pigs has been rejected by judges presiding over the annual BETT awards of the government's educational technology tentacle, Becta, because the literary deployment of porkers "raises cultural issues".

The CD-Rom - produced by Newcastle-based Shoo-fly - is aimed at primary school kids, but the judges said they had "concerns about the Asian community and the use of pigs raises cultural issues", according to the BBC.

The book recently secured the "Best Primary Resource and Innovation in Education" prize at the Education Resource Awards, but Becta explained to the publishers that they "could not recommend this product to the Muslim community".

This just had to happen, well quite frankly who gives a damn about what the Muslim community thinks.

This is another utterly stupid act of dhimimitude and oversensitivity.

When are they going to declare Animal Farm unclean or unfit after all the Pig was the leader (if I remember correctly).

Piglet, Teddy Bears and now the three little Pigs, what idiotic people are making these fatuous decisions, they are clearly not very bright so I think they work for a Goverment Quango - after all Being dim is a pre-requsite,

Yup just checked it is a Quango here is BECTA

    The first thing I would do if I was PM is cutthe funding to every single one of these Quangos and watch all these worthless lefties end up on the dole, the next thing I would do is an extensive audit of every single EU quango with a Common Purpose graduate involved and close them down if any irregular payments are found.

    3 little piggies hey!!!

    Gosh does this mean that the children's movie "Babe" and its sequels are to be banned in the UK? How about "this little piggy went to market" poem or Tom Tom the Piper's Son - didn't little Tom steal a--- shhh-- don't say the word outloud as a muslim may be offended ----pig?

    This committe of fatheaded idiots better get their red pens out and go through all the Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes.........lots of inflammatory offenses there!!

    Of course this is just a stepping stone to the banning of pork meat and products.

    As long as the majority of British people remain silent about such ridiculous atrocities we can expect more and more of such pronouncements to occur.

    Islamisation by stealth.

    People will wake up. They are being roused from every direction now. Because of our elites focus on doing what they are doing, they are ignoring the people.
    Our people are not a nice people when aroused.

    Hi AJ, the "O" and defender, Islamation by stealth - true, Audit the quango's better still close them and save some cash at the same time.

    "our people are not nice when aroused" history proves that, we tolerate to the extreme but when the tolerance runs out our response is extreme - nothing in the middle.

    Don't be so gullible, folks! This story seems to be made up. A statement on the BECTA website says that The Three Little Cowboy Builders was rejected because it "was not sufficiently convincing on curriculum and innovation grounds to be shortlisted".

    There is actually no evidence whatever that it was rejected because somebody seriously thought that it was offensive to Muslims. Still, it made a good story and had a lot of people fooled.

        Defender: you say there is more than enough precedence. I disagree. There are plenty of examples where journalists have made up stories about something being banned "because it is offensive to Muslims". There are very few (if any) where this was actually true.

        However, in answer to your question about my feelings about if it were true, then I would think it outrageous and that whoever was responsible should be sacked. I just see no evidence whatever to suggest it is anything more than a mischievous journalist who doesn't like to let the facts get in the way of a good story.

There was also the story in the Sun this Christmas (not sure whether it was picked up in the Mail) about the school that "banned Christmas cards because they were offensive to Muslims". The story was total bollocks, as was explained in great detail in Private Eye.

                    Now, can you name one story in the Mail where the gist was that something in the UK had been banned because it was offensive to Muslims that actually was true?

              Mothers of prevention
              Schoolgirls in Lancashire and Yorkshire are falling prey to sinister gangs of pimps. Two men have been sent to jail, but the girls’ mothers, not the police, are at the forefront of the crackdown. Why are the authorities so reluctant to get involved?
              Investigation by Julie Bindel
              A t the crown court in Preston on August 10, a trial involving two Asian men caused unusual interest across a number of cities in the north of England. The defendants, Zulfqar Hussain and Qaiser Naveed, were each sentenced to five years and eight months for abduction, sexual activity with a child, and the supply of a controlled drug.
              They had both pleaded guilty, and they were placed on the sex offenders’ register for life.
              It seemed a shabby, seedy episode, probably typical of many cases down the years that have involved exploitative men and naive women. Yet, until these convictions, the police in over a dozen towns and cities, including Leeds, Sheffield, Blackburn and Huddersfield, had appeared reluctant to address what many local people had perceived as a growing problem – the groups of men who had been preying on young, vulnerable girls and ensnaring them into prostitution.
              It was a very uncomfortable scenario, not least because many of these crimes had an identifiable racial element: the gangs were Asian and the girls were white. The authorities, in the shape of politicians and the police, seemed reluctant to acknowledge this aspect of the crimes; it has been left to the mothers of the victims to speak out.
              Maureen’s daughter Jo was one of Hussain and Naveed’s victims, having been groomed by them and a number of other Asian men when she was 14. Jo went missing from her Blackburn home 90 times during the six-month period in 2005 that she was in Hussain and Naveed’s clutches.
              “I was told by one police officer that he did not ‘want to start a race riot’ by arresting Pakistani men for sexual offences,” Maureen said. During the six months that Jo was in the clutches of these men, they raped, beat and abused her to the point where, says her mother, she did not even know who she was any more. Eventually, after she was attacked by Hussain and Naveed with an iron bar, Jo somehow found the courage to report them to police, and they were arrested. The case took 16 months to come to court. In the meantime, other pimps, undeterred by the impending trial, continued to go abo

However, since it is the other way round there is a virtaual news balck out, totally insufficient police action and people like you want to make stupid equivalence arguments. The proportions are not equivalent. You are wrong there mate.

                  It is not worth debating with a person who thinks the rape of little girls (and other aspects of Islamification of our country) is not a 'big deal'.
                  The rape of little girls is sick. One should not waste time debating with such trolls.
                  And yes, the rape of little girls is part of the Islamification of our country by these immigrants. This is true in many ways. One way is that their prophet had sex with a nine year old and he is their 'great example'. Another example is thier attitude to the infidel. I could go on but let's not debate with this troll.

                      If you want to live under Islam, go to a Muslim country and leave us, our culture and our little girls alone.

I just don't believe it exists to any significant extent. Just because there are a lot of Muslims in this country does not mean that the rest of us have to follow Islam.

                        I live in London. There are plenty of Muslims here. I haven't experienced a single episode of anyone trying to "islamify" me. Has "islamification" happened to you? And I mean you personally, not to someone you read about in the paper or to someone who told you about a mate in the pub?

                        And to go back to my original point (which we seem to have strayed from somewhat), do you believe the BBC story is true? If so, is that because you have unconditional faith in the BBC or do you have some evidence that the Becta website is lying and the BBC is correct?

        Three Little Pigs 'too offensive'
        By Sean Coughlan
        BBC News, education

        A story based on the Three Little Pigs has been turned down from a government agency's annual awards because the subject matter could offend Muslims.
        The digital book, re-telling the classic fairy tale, was rejected by judges who warned that "the use of pigs raises cultural issues".

        Becta, the government's educational technology agency, is a leading partner in the annual schools award.

        The judges also attacked Three Little Cowboy Builders for offending builders.

        The book's creative director, Anne Curtis, said that the idea that including pigs in a story could be interpreted as racism was "like a slap in the face".

        'Cultural issues'

        The CD-Rom digital version of the traditional story of the three little pigs, called Three Little Cowboy Builders, is aimed at primary school children.

        But judges at this year's Bett Award said that they had "concerns about the Asian community and the use of pigs raises cultural issues".

        The Three Little Cowboy Builders has already been a prize winner at the recent Education Resource Award - but its Newcastle-based publishers, Shoo-fly were turned down by the Bett Award panel, run the government's technology agency.

        The feedback from the judges explaining why they had rejected the CD-Rom highlighted that they "could not recommend this product to the Muslim community".

        They also warned that the story might "alienate parts of the workforce (building trade)".

        The judges criticised the stereotyping in the story of the unfortunate pigs: "Is it true that all builders are cowboys, builders get their work blown down, and builders are like pigs?"

        Animal Farm?

        Ms Curtis said that rather than preventing the spread of racism, such an attitude was likely to inflame ill-feeling. As another example, she says would that mean that secondary schools could not teach Animal Farm because it features pigs?

        Her company is committed to an ethical approach to business and its products promote a message of mutual respect, she says - and banning such traditional stories will "close minds rather than open them".

        Becta, the government funded agency responsible for technology in schools and colleges, says that it is standing by the judges' verdict.

        "Becta with its partners is responsible for the judging criteria against which the 70 independent judges, mostly practising teachers, comment. All the partners stick by the judging criteria," said a Becta spokesman.

        The reason that this product was not shortlisted was because "it failed to reach the required standard across a number of criteria", said the spokesman.

        Becta runs the awards with the Besa trade association and show organisers, Emap Education.

        Merlin John, author of an educational technology website which highlighted the story, warns that such rulings can undermine the credibility of the awards.

    I sometimes wonde of this sort of thing - local authorities banning nativity scenes, banning Christmas celebrations are a deliberate provocation - or is it just stupidity born of ignorance and fear.

    There is one word I can use that describes this story - INSANE!! This political correctness will be the death of all creativity and art because there will always be SOMEONE who will feel 'offended!' So what??? This kowtowing to the Muslim community is going to bring about the end of England as we know it. I'm not saying it is going to happen very soon. But if nothing is done to stem the tide of this dhimmitude, then I foresee a dismal future for England.

    The Daily Mail has the same story, and it explicitly states that "has been rejected by a Government-backed annual awards event because the subject matter could offend Muslims. The digital book, retelling the classic fairytale by depicting pigs as builders, was criticised by a judging panel who claimed "the use of pigs raises cultural issues".

    Making a pig's ear of defending democracy

    By Mark Steyn

    Last Updated: 12:01am BST 04/10/2005

    A year and a half ago, I mentioned in this space the Florentine Boar, a famous piece of porcine statuary in Derby that the council had decided not to have repaired on the grounds that it would offend Muslims. Having just seen Looney Tunes: Back in Action, in which Porky Pig mentions en passant that Warner Bros has advised him to lose the stammer, I wondered if for the British release it might be easier just to lose the pig.Alas, the United Kingdom's descent into dhimmitude is beyond parody. Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council (Tory-controlled) has now announced that, following a complaint by a Muslim employee, all work pictures and knick-knacks of novelty pigs and "pig-related items" will be banned. Among the verboten items is one employee's box of tissues, because it features a representation of Winnie the Pooh and Piglet. And, as we know, Muslims regard pigs as "unclean", even an anthropomorphised cartoon pig wearing a scarf and a bright, colourful singlet.Cllr Mahbubur Rahman is in favour of the blanket pig crackdown. "It is a good thing, it is a tolerance and acceptance of their beliefs and understanding," he said. That's all, folks, as Porky Pig used to stammer at the end of Looney Tunes. Just a little helpful proscription in the interests of tolerance and accepAnd where's the harm in that? As Pastor Niemöller said, first they came for Piglet and I did not speak out because I was not a Disney character and, if I was, I'm more of an Eeyore.

    I am sitting here with tears in my eyes letting the ludicrousness of what I have just read hit me. This is totally beyond my understanding. The Muslims are - literally - taking advantage of these fools!! They are playing mind games with them! How do I know this? Because here in Israel - in the town I live in - every day I see Muslims going about their business shopping. And in the shops they go into there are all kinds of toys and knick-knacks. And some of these toys and knick-knacks are little pigs!!! Not ONCE has any storekeeper been told to take them away!! And if any Muslim had the audacity to do so, they would be run out of the shop by a very angry shopkeeper!!!

    Porcelain pigs offend Muslims LEICESTER -- Police here in central England seized a collection of porcelain pigs from a house's window sill after Muslims complained that they were offensive. "I just couldn't believe it, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry," Mrs Nancy Bennett, the owner of the 17 miniature pigs, told the Sun tabloid newspaper. The porcelain figures were held at the local police station, while Mrs Bennett was threatened with prosecution if she replaces the collection. Her house is located in the same street as the city's main mosque, meaning that Muslim worshippers often passed by her front window where the pig figurines were on display. "Muslims find pigs highly offensive," explained police officer David Griffiths. "That is why the complaints were made". -- Sapa-AFP

      MORE ON THIS STORY:

      The Times reports that: "Nancy Bennett, 49, who faces possible prosecution after complaints from Muslims over a display of china pigs in the front window of her home in Leicester, had a quotation from the Koran alongside them, it emerged yesterday". The first national newspaper to report on the case was the Sun . To date, there has been no reports from Leicester papers. The Independent reports that Ms Bennett, who lives near the Highfields Mosque, claims the complaint about the pig ornaments "was made after she went to the police to report allegations of harassment. It is understood that the pigs were displayed alongside a quote from the Qur’an which said: ‘Let there be no coercion in religion’. Leicestershire Police were investigating the matter and would be sending a file to the Crown Prosecution Service, who might consider bringing charges against Ms Bennett under the Public Order Act.

      Ms Bennett explained that on 24 May: "I arrived home to find the police about to break into my house. They had a warrant. They said they had had complaints about the pigs from neighbours, they considered it was a public order matter and took about 17 of them. I have been told not to replace them. I am sure I am not the only person in Britain who collects ceramic pigs". Leicester Federation of Muslim Organisations’ spokesperson, Yaqub Khan, said that people believed Ms Bennett was aware of the possibility of causing offence, particularly as her house was on the main route to the Central Mosque.

    ===============
    The writer's sarcasm shows obviously that he/she feels that what this headmistress has done is fitting for where she lives - She is batty!! And I am sure that the vast majority of the British public would agree with that! So, how is it that those in authority in Britian are kowtowing to the Muslims and arresting ladies who have little ceramic pigs in her front window??? They are batty as well!! And they are now dhimmis!! You have opened a very dangerous door by acceding to Muslim demands. You had better close it before it's too late and you find yourselves totally ruled by Shari'a law!

    HOW MUZZIES EDUCATE THEIR KIDS - NO WONDER THEY GROW UP TO BE BLOOD-CRAZED SADISTIC NUTCASES


    Muslim fathers 'encourage' children to flagellate themselves with chains and knives.

    An investigation by Cumbria Patriots

    "It is illegal, yet the police are not keen to prosecute. (the report I have summarised below was from 2005)

    In 2003 a routine doctor's appointment in north London a doctor asked 14-year-old to take off his shirt, he noticed something very worrying. Criss-crossed on the child's back were more than 50 lacerations. The doctor asked for an explanation and was told the boy "had inflicted the wounds himself during a religious ceremony; there was nothing to worry about. The doctor called in the child protection agency.

    Through interviewing the family, a joint police and social services investigation team found that the child had made the lacerations by whipping himself with a zanjeer - a long chain with a set of curved knives attached at the end - as part of a flagellation ritual at the Idara-e-Jaaferiya mosque in Tooting, an area of Wandsworth, south London. The ritual, known as "zanjeer zani" or "zanjeer matam", was part of the Shia Muslim festival of Ashura, marked at the mosque every year."

    Read the rest of the gory details of this sickening ritual at http://cumbrianpatriotbnp.blogspot.com/2008/01/scars-on-backs-of-young-children-as.html">http://cumbrianpatriotbnp.blogspot.com/2008/01/scars-on-backs-of-young-children-as.html">http://cumbrianpatriotbnp.blogspot.com/2008/01/scars-on-backs-of-young-children-as.html.

    Another thing that I never understand is why do people (like those who made this ridiculous decision that threee little pigs is offensive) only consider what is offensive to Muslims? Why do such people never consider what is offensive to people other than Muslims? This case is a very good example - many people are offended (and angry) that this decision has been made but thier offence is not taken into account.

      Dead right! Why can't we start filing complaints with all these newspeak thought police bodies? After all, our tax monies enable them to exist - the poor mosque rats are all on the dole, so they mustn't be expected to help with the expenses of the treasonous quarterwits who are so meekly handing over our countries to them.
      I personally am offended every time I see their women forced to dress up like beekeepers, knowing that they have had their legs forcibly held apart so their genitalia could be gruesomely mutilatated. I am deeply offended every time I see a copy of the koran in a bookstore, as it explicitly instructs every member of the religion of peace to hunt me down and kill me, and to cut off my fingers and behead me. I could go on for a week - just about everything to do with these awful people offends me.
      Give me a nice, cuddly, law-abiding pig any day.

    To get information about pork-barrel spending, the Pig book has provided the authoritative list of pork in the federal budget. The Pig Book, which has nothing to do with an epithet for law enforcement, is a yearly journal published by the Citizens Against Government Waste which details the "pork" spending done by the federal government every year. If more people had their hands on it, a lot of legislators would doubtless put an online cash advance to stop it. The CAGW makes the Pig Book available for free download and a hard copy of the yearly report available for a cash donation. The donation asked for isn't huge, so you can get a copy of the Pig Book of government pork without worrying about short term loans.
