The Three Little Non-Offensive Cartoon Characters

The desire in England to avoid offending Muslims has once again gone to a silly extreme:

A school in England attempting to be politically correct toward Muslims ended up offending them even more when it changed the name of its rendition of "The Three Little Pigs."

The Honley Church of England Junior School in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, decided that since pigs are offensive to Muslims, it should rework the classic tale and call it "The Three Little Puppies" instead, according to the Daily Mail of London.

Islamic leaders, however, condemned the move as misguided and said decisions like this were turning Muslims into "misfits" in society.

What doesn't make a lot of sense about this story is the fact that dogs are reviled by Muslims almost as much as pigs, so changing the story to puppies didn't really fix the perceived underlying problem. At least in this case some of the Islamic leaders thought the move was silly and said so.
