Quote A story based on the Three Little Pigs has been turned down from a government agency's annual awards because the subject matter could offend Muslims. The digital book, re-telling the classic fairy tale, was rejected by judges who warned that "the use of pigs raises cultural issues". The awards which rejected the book are run by Becta, the government's educational technology agency. The judging panel also attacked the book's stereotyping of builders. You couldn't make it up.

The story is saying be careful about which pig you get to build your house, as the wrong one will cut corners and a wolf will blow it down. Get the right one, and you have yourself a nice little investment. As long as it's not near a river. Title: Re: I'll huff and I'll puff, and I'll blow your PC-ness up your....

I don't want to hear kids sing, most of them are shit singers..anything that gets them to keep their tiny mouths shut is a good thing. Have you never been to a birthday party or over at a friends house and their 5 YO can "sing a song"..Their parents actively encourage him to sing the little song for you and you have to pretend to listen and be impressed? and muslim extremists are of course not protected by free speech when they talk about blowing themselves up as they get locked up under the terrorism act. there is a middle ground between the PC nutters and Daily Mail..that gets lost sometimes in discussions about this sort of thing..not good.

We're almost there!! http://www.news.faithfreedom.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1237 from the same racist and vile website. "A Letter to Mankind Dear fellow human, Today humanity is being challenged. Unthinkable atrocities take place on daily basis. There is an evil force at work that aims to destroy us. The agents of this evil respect nothing; not even the lives of children. Every day there are bombings, every day innocent people are targeted and murdered. It seems as if we are helpless. But we are not! The ancient Chinese sage Sun Zi said, "Know your enemy and you won't be defeated". Do we know our enemy? If we don't, then we are doomed. Terrorism is not an ideology, it is a tool; but the terrorists kill for an ideology. They call that ideology Islam. The entire world, both Muslims and non-Muslims claim that the terrorists have hijacked "the religion of peace" and Islam does not condone violence. Who is right? Do the terrorists understand Islam better, or do those who decry them? The answer to this question is the key to our victory, and failure to find that key will result in our loss and death will be upon us. The key is in the Quran and the history of Islam. Those of us, who know Islam, know that the understanding of the terrorists of Islam is correct. They are doing nothing that their prophet did not do and did not encourage his followers to do. Murder, rape, assassination, beheading, massacre and sacrilege of the dead "to delight the hearts of the believers" were all practiced by Muhammad, were taught by him and were observed by Muslims throughout their history. If truth has ever mattered, it matters most now! This is the time that we have to call a spade a spade. This is the time that we have to find the root of the problem and eradicate it. The root of Islamic terrorism is Islam. The proof of that is the Quran. We are a group of ex-Muslims who have seen the face of the evil and have risen to warn the world. No matter how painful the truth may be, only truth can set us free. Why this much denial? Why so much obstinacy? How many more innocent lives should be lost before YOU open your eyes? We urge the Muslims to leave Islam. Stop with excuses, justifications and rationalizations. Stop dividing mankind into "us" vs. "them" and Muslims vs. Kafirs. We are One people, One mankind! Muhammad was not a messenger of God. It is time that we end this insanity and face the truth. The terrorists take their moral support and the validation for their actions from you. Your very adherence to their cult of death is a nod of approval for their crimes against humanity. We also urge the non-Muslims to stop being politically correct lest they hurt the sensitivities of the Muslims. To Hell with their sensitivities! Let us save their lives, and the lives of millions of innocent people. Millions, if not billions of lives will be lost if we do nothing. Time is running out! "All it takes for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing." Do something! Send this message to everyone in your address book and ask them to do the same. Defeat Islam and stop terrorism. This is your world, save it. The ex-Muslim Movement www.faithfreedom.org " Title: Re: I'll huff and I'll puff, and I'll blow your PC-ness up your....
