Oxford Uni Press bans use of pork-related words to avoid offending Muslims and Jews

Okay but still we should not be giving air time to these weirdos and their ideas

Because when was the last time Jews shot up a publishing house?

I believe this concerns freedom of expression and publication, and it's potentially impactful as the OUP is the biggest university press, and a department under the most famous university in the world.

It doesn't matter they should be included in the title because technically this makes the title misleading.

They bombed a UN school instead though which is worse.

"The largest university press in the world has warned its authors not to mention pigs or pork or anything else which could be perceived as pork in their books to avoid offending Muslims and Jews."

What a joke. Any thoughts on that?

Muslims cannot eat pigs but having a room full of peppa pig toys and spending every moment of their free time in peppa pig world and eating (vegeterian friendly) bacon flavoured crisps is not a sin! I wish ignorant non-muslims would wake up to the fact that Islam and the billions of muslims worldwide are the new 'hate target' of the world for many politically, money motivated reasons that many fail to comprehend. Eating a whole pig in front of a Muslim will not offend them, asking them if they want to babysit your micro pig whilst you go on holiday also won't offend them...at least when you get back you know that little micro porky is still gona be in one piece!
This oxford university press thing about not mentioning pigs, is just a further way to exclude and alienate Muslims and show the average Joe how 'different' they are, when they are nothing of the sort. This divisive behaviour is coming from non-Muslims not Muslims. Many here are students...go talk to your Muslim peers, befriend them and see how little the differences between you are. Make an effort to stick to fingers up to those with hate agendas (including these evil terrorists daring to commit acts of pure hate in the name of religion) and join together, be friends regardless of religion, colour, race...don't become prejudiced racist backward bigots. Its 2015 for God's sake!

Sounds really over the top. How many Muslims are really offended? The Muslims I know seem to have their own set of bacon themed in jokes.
