The Three Little Pigs: anti-Islamic activitiy?

Mark Steyn's take on the latest developments in Britain: "any terrorism perpetrated by persons of an Islamic persuasion will be designated “anti-Islamic activity”", according to Britain’s home secretary.

A while back, it was a local government council telling workers not to have knick-knacks on their desks representing Winnie-the-Pooh’s porcine sidekick, Piglet. As Martin Niemöller famously said, first they came for Piglet and I did not speak out because I was not a Disney character and, if I was, I’m more of an Eeyore. So then they came for the Three Little Pigs, and Babe, and by the time I realized my country had turned into a 24/7 Looney Tunes it was too late, because there was no Porky Pig to stammer “Th-th-th-that’s all, folks!” and bring the nightmare to an end.

You remember the Three Little Pigs? One builds a house of straw, and another of sticks, and both get blown down by the Big Bad Wolf. Western civilization is a mighty house of bricks, but who needs a Big Bad Wolf when the pig’s so eager to demolish it himself?

Chatting with a 30-something English banker the other day, he pointed out to me that political correctness in Britain was stifling, because it was being rammed down people's throats from the top down. The average English person does not feel this way. They think their government's PC has run amok. Read Steyn's whole article.
