The Three Little Pigs never stood a chance
Posted 45 weeks 4 days ago byFirst they came for the cartoonists in Denmark. But I'm not a cartoonist, nor a Dane, so I said nothing.
Then they came for the Three Little Pigs in Britain. But I'm not a pig, nor British, so I said nothing.
Now they've come for the banks in The Netherlands -- the Piggy Banks.
Knorbert the piglet has been dropped as the mascot of Fortis Bank after it decided to stop giving piggy banks to children for fear of offending Muslims. ...
Pigs are considered an unclean animal by Muslims and Jews, and Knorbert was culled after seven years as the Fortis mascot. A spokesman told the Dutch media that “Knorbert does not meet the requirements that the multicultural society imposes on us”.
Pardon the cliche of a set up, but I'm not Dutch. Yet people who care about a free society have to say something. European elites might think they are being "multicultural." But does it ever dawn on them to ask their Muslim population to give a little ground on the "multi" part of that platitude? A culture that is unwilling to call BS on grievance when it comes to nursery rhymes and places to store pennies ... well, is pretty hopeless.
And note, please, the absurdity of this multi-culti journalist looping the Jews in on this nonsense. Perhaps, technically, the Jewish faith finds pigs "unclean." Yet the Jewish people have found the strength to endure life in Europe for thousands of years. Piggy banks? The Three Little Pigs? Ham and cheese touching on a deli plate? Maybe not kosher, but not a reason for European Jews to complain.
Yet, again. When the "Muslim Street" is aggrieved, there will be blood. Just ask the friends and family of Theo van Gogh.

re: reality check???
Submitted on February 26th, 2008 by Jim LakelyWell, yes. This is not really about just the Three Little Pigs. It's about much more than that. And if we don't think that the surrendering of Western culture in Europe is all that important, we're kidding ourselves.
The road to America Alone accelerates.

That what the aeticle was about not who we are choosing for president. If you wanna dicuss that topic thats fine. Just don't waffle as much as Billary does. You both must have the same breakfast, waffles! By the way, pigs are very smart animals. Ever seen Green Acres.
whining?? this is our lives and that of our country
Submitted on February 24th, 2008 by sunshine308I do not call it nonsense to be discussing what is in the best interest of our citizens and our country.. the whole world is watching while we are toying with the idea of handing over the oval office to someone who has questionable ties to extreme islam and whose far left liberal ideas emminate from a mentor who was a marxist..as if that isn't enough.. he is totally inexperienced in his first half of his FIRST TERM IN THE US SENATE.. we need at this time the most experienced person we can get who has a record of strong comittment to this country and her citizens..that is not Mr. Obama. If we dont choose properly now then we eliminate the only candidate who is capable of this job at this time.. Hillary Clinton. We will pay the price if Obama gets in.. the world watches while we play this game of politics .. our decision or lack of one to choose a strong person will determine how the rest of the world views us, treats us and our citizens.. so..lady.. I am not whining.. I am seriously concerned .. even for you and your grandson!!!
3 little pigs
Submitted on February 24th, 2008 by jeyuhasWhere and when will this nonsense stop? People have nothing better to do or think about? Politally correctness is killing this country and world so, for God's sake, quit being so sensitive and get used to being offended every so often. As long as theres 2 people on this Earth one will not totally agree with the other, there will be a conflict. Like I got to tell my two year old Grandson every so often, QUIT WHINNING.
Well, China Also Went Dhimmi
Submitted on February 24th, 2008 by Chuck_JohnsonThis isn't nearly as funny (or tragic?) as when China banned pigs from TV ads during the year of the pig to appease Muslims.
Of course, Pakistan banned YouTube nationwide in response to this trailer, critical of Islam.
Islam extremists
Submitted on February 24th, 2008 by sunshine308this is but one example of their extremist way of dealing with "Christian" people.. Christian being anyone who is not Islamic.
It is time that people in this country who believe in multi-culturalism stand up for their own rights..if people want to share parts of their culture with us, fine.. but if that means we must be intimidated or have to live subservient to their ideals for fear of our lives then it is time to take off the blinders and deal with these people..we need to make betters immigration laws to have aliens learn our language, show respect for OUR LAWS AND CUSTOMS, allow US TO EXPRESS OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND enjoy the freedom given us by the constitution which is the principal reason most people come here in the first place..without fear of offending them or their customs.. They must adapt to our way of life if they want to live here.. not the other way around. It is now alleged that Obama has these Islamic roots and also current connections to these extremists in Kenya ..they (including his relatives) are now raping, pillaging and killing off the women and children in this country (Kenya) without regard for anyone or any human decency that we know. Is this the kind of attitudes we want instilled here in our country?? Obama has a mentor who lived in Hawaii with whom he had a son like relationship ..he is a communist.. a marxist for whom he has high regard and it does explain his far left liberal thinking.. do we want a socialist government.. Perhaps this is why he spoke the way he did at the debate the other day.. about Cuba.. and why he is now not electable by the Cuban American block.. C'MON PEOPLE..OPEN YOUR EYES..YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO VOTE WITH YOUR BRAIN IN GEAR.. PLEASE DO IT.. ONCE HE IS NOMINATED IT IS TOO LATE TO CHANGE YOUR MIND.
