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

[Selous]

What do you call one faith holding the entire world to ransom over their sensibilities?

Why should we care?

Its your faith. You care. I love eating pork. I want pink sausages in all my textbooks. I see this crap in the club I go too as well, and it really pisses me off.

They used to serve the most divine ham and cheese sandwiches. Their drunken pork platter was to die for. Now a new management has taken over. And when I place my order,sorry sir we do not have pork items!

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If this is not holding my life hostage, what is?

Invasions, renditions, torture, actually being held hostage, drone attacks, targeted killings, night raids, being classified as terrorists, being called extremists and apologists and what not...sounds a bit more like "life being held hostage" than you not being able to procure your daily dose of pig.

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

As I said, all the world is out to get you guys. You are peaceful people who just want to be left alone. Sadly the world wont let you. So you are forced to gun down innocents, including women and kids, and strap yourselves full of explosives and blow some people up. Does not matter who, as long as you are doing God's workand will be honored and rewarded in the afterlife.

Are these guys in pictures Muslims????

Where is the killing?

Sorry if Muslims worldwide are not taking it lying down, may be they are not built for it.

No. They are not built for peaceful coexistence and integration. Into any society. Including their own.

never seen any image of Mandir being torn down to pieces in India.

Go back in history. Not only were they torn down, mosques were built on top of them.

Please spare me you ignorance.

Please spare me the holier than thou act.

Ask the minorities who are being called back to ghar. But they won't speak because they know how their homes, churches, children and villages will be burnt down.

Ghar wapsi has been peaceful. Voluntary. I don't see any killing or burning happening here in my country.

Come back for lecture when you do not have blood of innocents on your hand, may be I will denounce all terrorism then but till then sorry I do not do selective denouncements.

So you support the guys who did Paris and Mumbai and Peshawar? London and Madrid and New York and Sydney?

Give me a honest answer please.

Invasions, renditions, torture, actually being held hostage, drone attacks, targeted killings, night raids, being classified as terrorists, being called extremists and apologists and what not

Your life held hostage. For what is done by your own.

...sounds a bit more like "life being held hostage" than you not being able to procure your daily dose of pig.

My life held hostage. For what is done by your own.

The story mentions both Muslims and JEWS. But as usual, anti Muslim bigots only zone in on the word Muslim and start their thoughtless provoking diatribes. Talk about perceptual bias.

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.

Yeah, sure buddy. Whatever justifies your bigotry. The evil Mosleems...

The BUT paradigm reigns strong.

Evil evil world. Forcing us to blow ourselves up.

Bowing down to terrorists and extremists.

In attempt to avoid offending Muslims and Jews... is literally the opening line of the post.

There is no harm reading (and at-least trying to understand) first before commenting for this makes one look even more stupid and bias than he otherwise might be.

Reported of gross generalization and associating not one but two religions with terrorism and extremism.

 

[Shot-Caller]

I call this the BUT paradigm of the muslim world. It's never really your fault is it? There's always a qualifier.

People like you are the reason terrorism is not ending. You have a very shallow thinking even if someone explains to you the causes and differences you stick to your pre conceived notion and repeat the same thing with different words.

Why should I subject myself to your interrogation? You expect me to answer you in what capacity exactly?

I will give an honest answer when I come across someone who does not hold prejudices against me and my religion, and unfortunately I do not find you that person. Have a nice day appreciate your time for discussion. Thanks

The BUT paradigm reigns strong.

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.”

These editorial guidelines are intended to make sure the materials can be “disseminated to the widest possible audience.”

If you had read the article and not jumped to your pre made conclusions you would have realised that this was more a business decision as they want their materials to be accepted and sold in other countries where the eating of Pork etc may not be the norm.

Btw, It is their decision. Freedom to do whatever they want. If they want to ban the usage, it is up to them. If they don't want to then its also up to them. Not Indian bigots on this forum.

So what I am saying is making you want to shoot me dead? Do you perhaps want to blow yourself up because you do not agree with what I have to say or hold the lunatics from your community in particular in very low esteem? Followed only by my disillusionment with the moderate majority of yours with your sanctimonious head shakings followed by the inevitable BUT?

It is pure business which has nothing to do with fear. Instead of wasting your time on replying to the bigots and Islamophobes, please use the report button. Their bigotry and rants are now getting out of control.

I read the article top to bottom in my morning paper, thank you.

The message is very clear. Do not offend the muslims. If you do not want your offices to be visited by black masked gunmen armed with rocket launchers and Kalshnikovs.

"In a nationally televised speech this month, Mohan Bhagwat, the leader of the Hindu nationalist organization Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, urged on grass-roots activists. In the state of Maharashtra, a mob objecting to a temporary slaughterhouse set up for the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha earlier this month besieged a train and pelted the police with stones."

As opposed to stick wielding stone throwing mobs getting angry at butchering cows, Muslims don't care if someone else eats pork. I surely don't.

If you like it that way...sure why not. It serves our purposes anyways.
