| Muslim ham complaint thrown out |
| 2010-12-26 |
| A PROSECUTOR has thrown out a complaint made by a Muslim family against a geography teacher who mentioned pork in their son’s class. The teacher was explaining how cold climate in Granada highlands helps to preserve local Serrano ham. The Children’s Prosecutor of Algeciras, Juan Cisneros, described the complaining pupil’s attitude as ‘abusive, sectarian, capricious and inadmissible’ and ordered the denouncement to be archived. He said: “There is not even the minimal indication of any type of crime.” The prosecutor went on to condemn the media storm created by the pupil’s parents and their opponents. He described the public’s interest in the case as ‘worrying’. |

| #8 The mooselimbs have been very ham-handed about this whole Serrano ham affair. They have been acting very boorish (or is it boarish?) and piggish in trying to force their beliefs on everyone else. |

| #3 Serrano Ham is part of the common heritage of all mankind. It is part of Spanish culture. How can someone live in a country and even be a citizen yet disrespect the culture? |

| #2 I could image a context where the word "pork" would be verboten. But jeeze mentioning ham in the phrase: The teacher was explaining how cold climate in Granada highlands helps to preserve local Serrano ham That's a lot over the top. I tell ya, we could make this muslim porkaphobia work for us. |
