The story of the Three Little Pigs' battle with the Big Bad Wolf has delighted children since it was written more than 150 years ago.
But the tale highlighting the merits of hardwork and practicality has become the latest to fall victim to political correctness.

A junior school production of the children's story has been renamed the Three Little Puppies for fear of offending Muslims. Organisers of a children's music festival have altered the popular characters and lyrics because of the multi-cultural nature of the youngsters involved and their parents in the audience.

But yesterday Islamic leaders condemned the politically correct move as misguided and said decisions like this were turning Muslims into 'misfits' in society.

Gee, no one was ever upset that Jews have the same view of pigs that Muslims have. What's next, changing the cow that jumped over the moon to some other animal so as to not offend Hindus.

Naw, the Hindus arent gonna get pissed off at you like some of these Muslims will. Silly Muslims.

As is frequently the case, it's not the minority group complaining, it's the self-appointed caucasian PC police who are falling over each other trying to save the minority groups from the tyranny of the majority.

How strange. I was in a Three Little Pigs Musical...

Exactly.

Big deal.

They made an exception to pander to the nonsensical superstition of some religious group.

It isn't like it doesn't happen ten thousand times a day in this overtly fucking religious country, especially when it involves the dominant religion (read: superstition) in America.

The difference is that in this case with the Muslims, it was the organisers of a little grade school music festival making the exception, while in an untold number of instances when it comes to Xtianity, it is our government (wrongly) making the exceptions.
