What next???
Pig Deal
Two British banks have banned that little pink symbol of savings, the piggy bank, from advertisements and promotions because it could offend some Muslims. Islam preaches that pigs are impure animals and Muslims are forbidden from eating pork.
Local Muslim leader Salim Mulla (search) applauded the decision, saying, "This is a sensitive issue and I think the banks are simply being courteous to their customers." But Muslim Parliament Member Khalid Mahmoud (search) calls the piggy-bank ban ridiculous, saying, "I doubt many Muslims would be seriously offended by piggy banks."
