I think they are mainly offended by people acting on their behalf

Would it not help if more in that community actually said so Martin?

I have seen messages about it.

It is now pretty common for PC people to get offended on other peoples behalf - this would really annoy me if they did this for me.

The removal of the pig is offending a lot of Muslim people as it makes them look bad.

It is a toy, they don't mind.

Got this from the news comments

precisely - it serves to stoke a fire that isnt there....no muslims care one way or other and to assume otherwise is patronising and fuels more hate amongst the "special" knuckledraggers   >:(
And you know that not one of them will object, how ?
Is there a large Muslim community in Perth ?
My best guess is that the majority wouldnt object, but there is without doubt an element in their midst which would (as they always do) take the opportunity to stir it up and make mischief.
Hoping to advance their agenda by one more small step.

Is there a large catholic community in Perth? Don't know. Don't care.
Is there a large protestant community in Perth? Don't know. Don't care.
Is there a large Muslim community in Perth? Don't know. Don't care.

I'm curious how you tell?  ;D


find one muslim out of the billion or so on the planet that finds a toy pig offensive and i guarantee that he doesnt really  :y

that better?  ;)

All together now:

With a "parp parp" here and a "parp parp" there,
Here a "parp", there a "parp", everywhere a "parp parp"..
