In a fit of PC driven sensitivity, a British nursery school teacher has banned all books and videos that mention pigs because they "might offend Muslims." No more "Three Little Pigs." No more "Babe."

The situation is so absurd that the local Muslims are calling it "nonsense".

Last night Yorkshire Muslims condemned the move as "nonsense", as their holy book, the Koran, permits followers of Islam to talk or read about pigs as long as they do not eat their meat.



Bradford magistrate Bary Malik, an Ahmadiyya Muslim, said: "Every day Muslims recite passages from the Koran.
"As the Koran mentions pig, Muslims must say that word. All the Koran says you should not do is eat pork, but there is no harm in using the word or reading it.

"This school has gone too far – what will they do next, ban the word cow because Hindus believe the cow is sacred?

"In this world there are many extremists who do not like Jews or Muslims – does that mean that we should ban the words Jews or Muslim out of respect for their views?

"Really it shows a lack of religious understanding. It's nonsense."
