The ‘Three Little Puppies,’ a Play for All Religions

Students at the Honley Church of England Junior School in West Yorkshire were to perform the ‘Three Little Pigs,’ but the politically correct wolf blew the house down. The Kirklees Primary Music Festival believes all pigs should be taken out and replaced with puppies so the play doesn’t offend any British Muslims.
A board member described the situation thusly:

“We have to be sensitive if we want to be multi-cultural. It was felt it would be more responsible not to use the three little pigs. We feared that some Muslim children wouldn’t sing along to the words about pigs,” [Gill Goodswen] said.
“We didn’t want to take that risk. If changing a few words avoids offence then we will do so.”

Make no mistake about this. This entire incident was not brought upon by British Muslims, rather by Islamophobic teachers learning quickly how best to dhimmify a situation in order to appease what they feel might be multi-cultural misgivings.
And just like in the case of the self-imposed end to a centuries-old festival in Bocairent, Spain where effigies of Muhammad were burned and an opera in Germany being canceled in case of future threats, Muslim groups are wondering what in the world is going on. Don’t worry my Muslim friends. There’s an explanation to all of this. It’s called ‘Islamophobia.’
Sheikh Ibrahim Mogra of the Muslim Council of Britain, hardly a group who wouldn’t take a punch when they see an opening, called the move “bizarre.”

He said: “The vast majority of Muslims have no problem whatsoever with the Three Little Pigs. It’s always been the traditional way of telling the story and I don’t see why that should be changed . . .
Mr Mogra said: “How far are we going to go? Are we going to change the seven dwarves because it’s discriminatory towards people who are physically less able? Where do you draw the line?
“Every time we get these stories Muslims are seen more and more as misfits. We have to accept there’s a predominant culture here.”

The line should have already been drawn. Even though Mogra states there isn’t a problem with pigs in houses being chased by a wolf, Saudi Arabia thinks differently of pigs, or Piglet to be precise.
In Minnesota Target stores, which I am now reluctantly a share holder in, Muslim cashiers do not have to ring up bacon. If you’re reading, Mr. Mogra, is it against Islam for someone to scan bacon for a customer? Elsewhere in Minnesota, Muslim cab drivers ponder the great debate of whether to give a ride to a drunk customer because the customer has alcohol in their body.
When I was 16, I worked at a local grocery store. There were Catholics working at the store, but there was not a time when a customer purchased contraceptives only to have that Catholic tell the customer they won’t touch it because it’s against Catholicism. Sure, Catholic bombers aren’t exactly threatening to detonate nukes in large Western cities, but in the cases above, neither were Islamists. People just decided they should change things in fear of what? It is fear of Islam while CAIR suggests true Islamophobes are those that openly criticize the religion or Islamists who use the basis of Islam to murder.
What is this world coming to, seriously?

    “We have to be sensitive if we want to be multi-cultural. It was felt it would be more responsible not to use the three little pigs.

    So in order to be “multi-cultural”, one has to change the culture.

    “Multi-cultural” is a culture in itself that demands the destruction of all the unprotected class cultures. As for whether or not a culture is in a protected class – defer to your local “politically correct” liberal and ask. They’re the deciders.

    Lik– I wonder who holds the trump cards this week. Did you see the news about the ?muslin? person who refused to weigh/sell pork at a Target? Can now the Christian lady have equal moral equivalency for refusing to sell baby-killing after (premarital) sex drugs?

    By the way, “multi-culturalism” is offensive to me (because it demands my destruction) and I would appreciate it if people like Gill Goodswen would be sensitive to my concerns. But that’s not going to happen, is it?

    It can’t happen, because applying a little bit of fairness and logic to the situation defeats the whole “multi-culturalism” movement.

    America has been called The Great Melting Pot, wherein people from different cultures from all over the globe came together, their many cultures being melded via assimilation to become one new thing – The American Culture. As long as we insist upon one language, one unique American culture and seek to immerse immigrants into our culture we can remain strong; but if we encourage and support a multicultural, multilingual society, we will remain a house divided against itself and such a house (nation) cannot long stand.

    We should not as a nation have to accomodate various cultures, rather those of other cultures wanting to be Americans or live in America should make necessary changes to their lives to accommodate the American culture. Why seek out America as the land of opportunity and even break our laws to get here and then want to change the American culture into something these people sought to escape?

    One personal note: I believe that as long as we were one nation under God, we could successfuly encourage full assimilation and maintain a unigue American culture; but, absent that unifying faith, under secularism, I don’t think there is the spiritual glue necessary to hold us together.

    I wonder if Hindus would be offended that a cow jumped over the moon and that too would have to change?

    I suppose the phrase, “When pigs fly outta my ass!” is way out of line.

    This eventually will lead to some fringe group who holds the chicken sacred, and we will have to eat at, “Kentucky Fried!”

    Well, Sparkie, you could start with the entire post above.

    Likwidshoe, since when has logic and liberalism mixed? The change from pigs to puppies clearly was due to liberal ideas of what might offend, but if, for instance, I was offended they changed a time-honored play they simply don’t care. Why? Because I am a white male.

    There’s the logic, if you can call it that, in the argument presented to change the entire play to work around the sensibilities in a multi-cultural environment.

    Neiman is 100 percent correct, but he must recognize we are no longer a melting pot. The U.S. is not as bad off as much of Europe, but we still are a multi-cultural nation because of the idea that it’s the most shameful thing in the world to offend.
