    I know lots of Muslims. As for sausages they eat lots, theyre just veggie, turkey, lamb, and so on. They very much do eat sausages just not pork ones.

            I'm still struggling to see what sort of a person / religion would get "offended" by simply reading about something that their religion doesn't allow but that the rest of society does?

            Is this just a poor attempt at a wind-up, or some lefty do-good we thinking that they know what's best for the rest of us?

            Edit: read the article now, it looks like a lefty liberal type....

              You might like to know that some educational texts from the OUP and other publishers in the UK which are bound for the USA market don't mention subjects like evolution as thats a sensitive subject for some people there. The DM, and others, have only jumped on this due to the current climate, i.e.

                  Who more importantly haven't even asked for it.

                  The Jewish Leadership Council said in response that "Jewish law prohibits eating pork, not the mention of the word, or the animal from which it derives."

                  British-Muslim Labor MP Khalid Mahmood was also quoted by the Mail as saying, "I absolutely agree. That’s absolute utter nonsense. And when people go too far, that brings the whole discussion into disrepute."

                    What complete and utter bollocks.

                    Maybe we should ship all the liberal lefties out of the country and then we won't get self imposed censorship that neither the Jews or Muslims asked for.

                      Self censorship by the touchy feely lefty PC wombats desperately seeking something, anything to be offended by on other peoples behalf.
                      It's been a curse and an attack on the freedom of speech for decades now

                      please God that it ends soon. esp after what happened in Paris.
