School Changes Name of Play to 'Three Little Puppies' to Avoid Offending MuslimsThursday , March 15, 2007Little Red Riding Hood ... Hansel and Gretel ... the Three Little Puppies?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."

I'm not sensitive to peoples religions or races. In fact, if I like the person, I poke fun at his religion or race. The point of this is that it is the person who is important because of his character, not because of his religion or race. If they were that worried about it they should have scrapped "the three little pigs" and went with something else. Maybe not Ali Baba and the forty thieves but something maybe like Sir George and the Dragon.

I hate hyporcracy Muslims call christians and Jews Pigs they don't change their words, stories,ect as to not offend anyone else why should anyone feel forced to change theirs as not to offend them. Brittian is a free country that means equal rights not speacial rights. I am angry the school has to do this to avoid contravery and violence.This is a freedom vs non-freedom situation not a religious one how long before you can't say garlic cause it might upset Vampires.

You seem to be angry at muslims for something they had no part in. No where in the story does it say that any Muslim or Muslim group asked for the name chance. This name change is the result of a misunderstanding of how Muslims view pigs. Muslims don't eat pigs, but they are not offended by the mere existance of the animal.

I have nothing against the average Muslim this article didn't state it but you know it is fear of reprisals not kindness that drives them to change literary history.Do you remember the cartoon incident or the Pope incident. Yes Im angry at radical Islam as every person that loves freedom should be. Do you know what they teach their kids? Do you know what their Shia law is? Do you know why they think all Jews should be wiped off the face of the earth? Do you know why it is the death penalty if a muslim converts to another religion? Do you know why moderate Muslims don't speak up against the radicals they hate for hijacking their religion? Do you know why they say they will rule the world and if you don't convert you will be killed.Do you know why they turn themselves into bombs to kill innocent people?Gee wonder why they are so misjudged When I see one more organization bow to these radicals its that much closer to you and me.
