Cricket_Hacker Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Children's TV's favourite cartoon pig could soon be axed after a British Muslim father launched an online campaign to have Peppa Pig banned. Facebook page Muslims against Peppa Pig has already garnered nearly 2,500 followers. A Change.org petition, pushing for the show to be pulled from children's TV, has also been set up. According to Zayn Sheikh, the man behind the drive, the 'haram' character is preventing young children from developing into good Muslims. He says he took action after his young son declared he want to be a pig rather than a doctor. "For us Muslims it is very important that we do not eat meat of the pork," Sheikh from Bradford said in a video posted on the Facebook page. "It is completely wrong that our kids are being shown these things on TV," He goes on to suggest that the 'abominable creature' should be replaced with an 'Abdullah the Cat' cartoon. "Children still need cartoons to develop their minds. I propose we introduce Abdullah the cat. I think that if we had a good Muslim cartoon then our children would be better Muslims." Although it is clear whether this a parody, thousands of people have since leapt to Peppa Pig's defence, claiming "Muslim fanatics" were taking things too far. "I'm sorry I am Muslim and really do not see the problem with Peppa Pig at all. My children watch it and will soon grow out of it, it isn't like there is a pig on screen saying eat me," one critic said. Meanwhile, the Muslim Council of Britain said Sheikh's views were not shared by the majority of mainstream Muslims. "Anecdotally, we know of many Muslim children who watch the show for its entertainment value," a spokesman said. "Those who do have issues with this can simply refrain from watching the show and purchasing Peppa Pig memorabilia."

sachin34357 Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Comedian behind 'ban Peppa Pig' video reveals campaign is hoax http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/comedian-behind-ban-peppa-pig-4173708 A Facebook campaign to have the children's TV show Peppa Pig banned has been revealed as a hoax. The fake campaign was launched on social media by a man claiming to be a British Muslim called Zayn Sheikh, who said he was calling for the programme to be banned after his son told him he wanted to be a pig. Thousands of people fell for the joke and flooded the Facebook page with complaints after the internet prankster released his video. Some fans of the show even set up a rival page calling for the show to be saved. But last night the same man posted a second video in which he revealed the campaign was nothing but a parody. In the video, the man says: "The last video I made was a parody, was a joke." He added: "I am not against any race, religion or ethnicity I speak out against discrimination wherever I come across it. "At the end of the day whatever is going on in the rest of the world is not to do with us regular Muslims in the UK because we are just like any other people. We are normal people. We are just trying to get by. "The video was meant as a joke and if you cannot realise its satirical it’s not a concern of mine." _Beh7wJcIGY W-H6oyJJ8mQ
Texy Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 If you do not want to integrate, live in a ghetto then why live in a multicultural secular country? O right, welfare program. Guess no haraam in accepting British taxpayer's money.

Precambrian Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Jeez, what? People actually thought it was real? The "Abdullah the cat" was the giveaway for me, till then I was veering on Shahid Afridesque levels of suspension of disbelief.
