More Pigs!

If your faithful correspondent keeps making posts about pigs the name of this blog will have to be changed to the Piggy Nib. But I really do believe that the Mohammedan battle against pigs, pig figures and pig drawings in Great Britain is more important that it appears. To use the old term that has fallen out of favor, "It is the thin edge of the wedge."

Consider the fact that in the US and in Great Britain Jews have lived peacefully for at least three and a half centuries. In America Jews have had a presence since the late 1600s, and in Great Britain since the time of Cromwell. In fact, it was the Puritan government in Britain that invited Jews to immigrate to Britain after Edward II (it may have been Edward I) banished Jews from Britain. Religious Jews are forbidden from eating pork. They have been so forbidden since the time of Moses. To my knowledge there has never been a movement among Jews, religious or otherwise, to ban the existence or portrayal of pig, hogs or boars among non-Jews. In fact the Warner Brothers, both Jewish, are partially responsible for the giving to the world Porky Pig.

Our Islamic "brothers" on the other hand, want to drive Porky underground in the same way that they want to drive women's hair underground. Apparently Islamic clerics and theologians feel that the average Islamic man is so driven by his lower instincts that the sight of a woman's hair/face/ankle drives him to rape, and the sight of a pig drives him to a ham sandwich. The result is that the rest of us are unable, in public, to express our appreciation of porcine qualities. How long will it be before you go to the local Blockbuster or contact Netflix and find that the DVD of "Babe", "Charlotte's Web", or "Animal Farm" is unavailable because some guy who beats his wife with religious consent covets your Virginia ham and feels guilty coveting the ham?

Cox and Forkum have a pretty good cartoon about the current pig ban in Great Britain:Cox & Forkum: Perils Before Swine . Be sure to read the attached Mark Steyn article.

Long live Piglet, Babe and Geordie!
