Muslims Prevail in Battle Over Winne-the-Poos' Piglet
 NOVELTY pig calendars and toys have been banned from a council office â in case they offend Muslim staff. 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. Bosses acted after a Muslim complained about pig-shaped stress relievers delivered to the council in the run-up to the Islamic festival of Ramadan. Councillor Mahbubur Rahman, a practising Muslim, backed the ban. He said: âItâs a tolerance of peopleâs beliefs.âPosted by: Captain America 2005-10-01 |
