Another Muslim protest

(England) Muslims in the town of Corby England are up in arms over the proposed plans to build a new pet food factory in the neighbourhood because they fear that pig smells will contaminate them.

Which is strange as the UK is a member of the EU and as such the company has to abide by some of the most stringent emission controls in the world. (Also, the company states that the majority of its pet food is beef and poultry based)

But hey, I’m talking about a country which had the police remove toy porcelain pigs from a window in Leicester because a number of Muslim found them offensive. The same country which saw a toy pig stress reliever banned from an office in Dudley because another Muslim found it offensive. The same country which has seen banks remove piggy banks because they may offend Muslims. The very same country which sees councils rewriting the story of the Three little Pigs into the Three Little Puppies, and the same country which has seen the story of the Three Little Pigs banned from Park Road school in Batley, West Yorkshire because the teacher deemed it offensive to Muslims.


Is there anything the Muslim world isn’t offended by?
