Guest guest Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 I read an article in the news last week where the police had issued something like 40,000 postcards in the community with a puppy on the front, but had to withdraw them because Muslims complained? ( at the tax payers expense ) apparently the dog is considered dirty to Muslims? I never heard of that before? seems a bit much? its not like any Jews boycotted "Babe" when it came out?, and I bet there are plenty of Muslim shop keepers selling dog food? If I`ve gone too far, just let meknow. I dont mean anything by it, but apparently have a tendancy to upset people.But puppys? come on, its not like they were putting opposing religious icons up or anything, just cute little puppy on a postcard? Is this Political correctness gone mad? Peter vv Not happy with your email address?

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 from the stuff i read about this 9in scotland), it's actually a tempest ina teapot from what i read, it appears the daily and telegraph papers are just trying to stir up controversary. looks like maybe one person or so complained, and the police panicked, and the papers pounced.
