Mentions of pork banned in schoolbooks, could offend Muslims or Jews

[doppelganger]

Wrong. It's not the Pakistanis here who know it. EVERYONE in the world knows it. It is clear as anything. The timing is crucial. It is purely done out of fear. The Jew element is put in just to give it a plausible deniability. Like we sugar coat stuff in India.

Plenty of 'they deserved it', 'best not to offend' etc are seen. I don't mind them. Having grown up in the Valley, this comes as no surprise to me. The rest of the non Muslim world will take some time to this.

I said exactly the same to one of our friends here 24 posts ago ....

Because no one is under any illusions who the Oxford press is really afraid of.

Even the additions of Jews is the PC necessity catering to the same fear of singling the former out. Alone.

Which Muslim terror? Invasion of Iraq in 1990s? invasion of Afghanistan? Re invasion of Iraq? Bosnia? Kashmir? Palestine? Chechnya? Somalia? interfering in Middle East?.

What about them? You seem to forget that muslims groups or their dictators in those countries butchered,
massacred their own people 50X and collectively in the millions, and in many of them- they forced the invasion because they threatened the livelihood of others. That part of the history is so conveniently forgotten.

These excuses of Muslims lands being terrorized by the West is the same old lame extremist propaganda.

I don't prefer wearing one, to be very honest. Though I am open to trying them once more to change my opinions.
In any case, I failed to get the relevance of your post.

Einstein Read the article first before commenting, they are banning this because Muslims are asking for it.They are banning this cause they wanna expand the Market for it.

These excuses of Muslims lands being terrorized is used by the extremist.

So which Part of India you are from.

EXACTLY!

IT SERVES YOUR PURPOSE!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks man. This is exactly what I have been saying about the majority of the head shaking liberals, the so called moderates.

You have just vocalized what is normally left unsaid. The hidden feeling of vindication, even a bit of pride?

Me a Liberal and a Moderate....sir please don't insult me !

Call me extremist or whatever you want but I won't follow history written by your Media and your state department (if you ever worked there).

The Quran mentions the word pork many times,what a load of hogwash by oxford

Love you too.

Anyway, expand market for what? And why not beef? Or potatoes?

In the end, their choice - UK had surrendered long back. I am NOT surprised.

Something about creatures of the cloven hoof being unclean or evil or something right?

How many millions did the Taliban kill ? Yeah maybe the Taliban forced the invasion of Afghanistan by not giving the US the contracts but rather to Argentina...thus threatening the livelihood of the US. I see a hint of honesty on your side finally.

He has only forbidden to you dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah. But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit] - then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. (Surah Nahl: Ayah 115)

I think cloven hoof (kosher and stuff) is Jews then. Confused.

So you didn't even read the article and just jumped in, cause any thing anti Muslim you are expert.

Educational materials produced by the publisher in the UK are sold in over 150 countries. The spokesperson said they need to “consider a range of cultural differences and sensitivities

This isn't UK its private business.

I guess you are upset that they care what Muslims and Jews think, and dont care what Hindus or Indians think.

Who exactly raised this issue ?

I don't really recall this being anything worthy of note here in Pakistan because if the mere mention of the boar was an issue we would not use it quite frequently when referring to some of our politicians !
