Workers in the benefits department at Dudley Council, West Midlands,(U.K.) 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.
Muslims are barred from eating pork in the Koran and consider pigs unclean.
Councillor Mahbubur Rahman, a practising Muslim, backed the ban. He said: “It’s a tolerance of people’s beliefs.”
And what about their tolerance in our beliefs? Why is it that everyone else is to tolerate others beliefs yet others don't tolerate their beliefs? Its a vicious cirlce and there can be no winner.
