Can we REALLY BELIEVE that any Muslims would be offended over a CHILD’S failry story in the 21st Century?
I can remember reading The Three Little Pigs to my kids when they were babies and toddlers, along with a lot of other FAIRY STORIES. They haven’t grown up as racist bigots, or Nanny PC‘s puppets.
For Goodness sake ppl, it’s a CHILD’S FAIRY STORY.
It’s the adult and the Nanny PC brigade who are trying to turn it into something bad – something racist – something obscene. !!
Do YOU think the same way as that particular ” government agency”?
Could I be bold and ask if ppl when answering if they will add what NATIONALITY THEY ARE please?
No reason other than personal interest by way of getting an over-view of National thinking
Re par8hdman
Well said Sir !! Thank you for saying what YOU MEAN AS OPPOSED TO WHAT YOU MEANT 
Politicians could learn so much from you. Nanny PC will throw a hissy fit tho lolol
Re idabos
Touche’
I stand corrected lol
Hmmmm If there had been the space in the Question box, I might have said something like “Muslims living in the 21st Century”…or “today’s generation of Muslims”…
I’m encouraged that everyone assumed correctly what I meant – though my words didn’t not convey grammatically my meaning !!
Phew !!
Re noddin all da way
Well said and thank YOU for taking the time to add your personal experience and feelings known here.
I’m encouraged that YOU have not been scarred or offended by a traditional fairy tale or other “so-called offences to your Culture” that Nanny PC and the media are so keen to slap our wrists for in UK.

No we can’t. But then we can believe that the BBC is going so down the drain that it is now beginning to sensationalise a story with a misleading headline, just like the Daily Mail.
Read on in your link – and yes I watched the video – and the story reads:
***
“Becta with its partners is responsible for the judging criteria against which the 70 independent judges, mostly practising teachers, comment. All the partners stick by the judging criteria,” said a Becta spokesman.
The reason that this product was not shortlisted was because “it failed to reach the required standard across a number of criteria”, said the spokesman.

So, let’s just make clear that the reason that this product was not shortlisted was because, “it failed to reach the required standard across a number of criteria,”
Betty asks…
Does your MIL do this to you? I’m so sick of it. Now she’s making me second guess myself.?
I finished Christmas shopping today for my kids and thought I did pretty good. Since they love hunting around the house looking for their gifts, my mother-in-law keeps them at her house. I just brought the things I bought this morning over, and she told me “Wow, this is all you’re getting them? Why did you take-in the extra 3 kids if you would have to sacrifice things for your real children?” I thought I did good considering we have 8 children this year instead of 5. So the question:
Is she right? Or is she just trying to make me feel bad?

I tried my best. Each child on average gets about $400 worth of toys. Yes, it would have been more if we didn’t take 3 extra children in, but should how much we get on Christmas make a difference bettween leaving them in foster homes or letting them live with us?
Oh and another one was that she is only buying for her “real” grandchildren, meaning she’s not getting gifts for the 3 childre I recently adopted. So now I’m going to have to buy them something and bring it over there to pretend it’s from her.
Yes, we have to keep everything fair. I tried to sick to 5 items that totaled up to about $400.
We actually adopted them when their mother (my friend) passed away from cancer.

I’m very impressed with the list of what you got for all of the kids. It looks as if you spent a lot of time and thought in selecting what you thought that they would really like and cherish.
As for the Mother-in-Law: I would have your husband discuss the situation with her, and mention to her that it is not fair for her to single out a particular group to give gifts to, or not. The older kids (5 and up) are old enough to realize who is getting gifts, and WHY the others are being excluded. Therefore, my advice (all $.02 of it), is that either EVERYONE has a package to open (with some sort of gift inside, price not important), or NOBODY has a gift.
Don’t pretend, and get something, hauling it over there. Just inform her that you AND HER SON have made the decision to adopt / take in / foster these children, and BOTH of you have decided to love them as your own. But your husband needs to have this conversation with her, and present this as a JOINT decision.
And if she persists, your husband can always inform her that until she can accept ALL of your children, NONE of them will be visiting.
Good Luck.

Maybe I should clarify…
Is it the MEDIA saying Muslims are offended over this fairy story?
ARE the Muslims offended by it… if so, why TODAY has the objection been raised.. after all New Labour have been in govt 10 years now…?
Re nycguy10
