Diversity and Censorship

Muslim outrage at police advert featuring cute puppy sitting in policeman's hat | Mail Online (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1030798/Muslim-outrage-police-advert-featuring-cute-puppy-sitting-policemans-hat.html)

When did diversity start to mean that an Innocent picture of a puppy would cause offense to Muslims and a Police Force that used the image would aplogise for it?

I have no problem with respecting other's religious or cultural sensibilities but shouldn't we expect the same in return?

Should we not expect that everyday expressions of British culture are accepted by Muslims rather than something to find offense with?

To quote one of the contributers to the papers comment section "i am outraged that they are outraged" !

The Police even have a Diversity Advisor , reminds me of the political commissars attached to military units in the Red Army .... if there ever was a case of a country showing too much tolerance the UK in 2008 is surely it :(

I'm not an expert on Islam but I do know some Muslims and have worked with them. I have never heard of an image of a dog being offensive because it is ritually unclean. I wonder how deep into the Koran the 'community leaders' had to dig to find this.

Thoreau, my problem is not with Muslims being here it is with that section of the community that assumes it can speak on everyone else's behalf and with the PC institutions that pander to them.

Calm down luv, your lumping people together with the "US" and "THEM" mentality.


So nothing to say about the issue itself then CS?
