Another coup for the Islamic minority. Next, it will be the Year of
the Dog that has to go (Muslims do not like dogs as pets).

Why must the world change to accomodate Islamic preferences ? Why must
we care if a tradition in one country offends a particular sect and,
in this case, an immigrant sect (as Islam is not indiginous to
China). If Muslims move to a farming/ranching community, will hog
farmers be forced out of business. Enough of this BS, I say. let them
be offended. China has celebrated the Year of the Pig for milleniums.
Why must that change because of the preference of a faith that has
'come to town' in only the last 1600 years....?
