From the Pandering to Muslims Dept: British School Changes Name of Play to 'Three Little Puppies' to Avoid Offending Muslims

Now if only Muslims would cease calling Jews the "sons of monkeys and pigs" which they do in the Koran in Suras 2:62-65, 5:59-60, and 7:166, things would begin to look up. From FoxNews:
That's what one British school renamed the traditional Three Little Pigs story for a school play, so as not to offend Muslims in the community, London's Daily Mail reported. Organizers of the children's musical theater performance changed the lyrics' character's names in a move some — including Muslims — are saying went too far. "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," Shaykh Ibrahim Mogra from the Muslim Council of Britain told the Daily Mail, saying the name change was "bizarre."

Gill Goodswen, head teacher of Stile Common Junior School, defending the move. She said: "We have to be sensitive if we want to be multicultural. It was felt it would be more responsible not to use the three little pigs."
