Why do we have to please "MUSLIMS" all the <EDITED - JEFFERSON T> time?
Why can't we just say whatever needs to be said without it "offending" "Muslims" every <EDITED - JEFFERSON T> time a pork <EDITED - JEFFERSON T> sandwich or some other crap appears on tv advertisement ?
Hardly free speech.
I hope this sorts itself out seriously <EDITED - JEFFERSON T> up this is.
Who gives a <EDITED - JEFFERSON T> about 3 <EDITED - JEFFERSON T> pigs ffs?
Oh i forgot It's them "Muslims again.
We hear that word so many times.

I'm assuming that you have failed to grasp the idea that its a perception of judges that has led to the book being rejected in the awards (not banned) and that muslims had nothing to do with it (quote copied below)
Also can I put forward a challenge to you. How about you post some concrete evidence of muslims actually forcing something to be banned in the UK, as opposed to something being banned/removed/rejected based on a perception by a group (usually non muslims) that it will offend Muslims.
As for your other post about Xaccers being a spy fro the Muslim Council, thanks for making my day with one of the funniest statements I've read on this forum in a long time.

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.
