"Tolerance and acceptance" in England

One Muslim worker in a town council office in the UK manages to force a twisted distortion of Islamic law down the throats of non-Muslim coworkers.

This story from the West Midlands/Staffordshire Express and Star News, (HT to Dennis Prager) tells how a Muslim's complaint about pig-shaped stress relievers prompted the bosses to require workers "...to remove or cover up all pig products including toys, porcelain, calendars and even a tissue box featuring Winnie the Pooh and Piglet."

Lest anyone be offended.


By Piglet.


Now, it's bad enough that some ignorant Muslim doesn't quite understand a basic tenet of his own faith: Muslims can't eat pork. Seeing a pig-shaped toy isn't eating pork! (As Alf says...) But, for the timid and overly sensitive supervisors to be cowed into this game is shameful.

As one of the Brits said, this is "political correctness gone barmy".

How does the human mind manage to create such obviously twisted deviations from an original intent or principle?
