This year the Commonwealth Games are being held in Scotland. As part of the opening ceremony cute little Scottie dogs were used to lead each country's athletic contingent into the arena. Oops! Malaysia, a predominantly Muslim country, has taken umbrage at this symbolism ... for Muslims consider dogs to be unclean and are not supposed to be touched (except when they are being slaughtered for dinner?) For details read: UK Telegraph Story.
Political correctness has progressed to the point were the taboos of every possible faction in the world must be kowtowed to ... if just one member thereof expresses offense. How about this complaint? I am offended by people who are offended by the celebration of Christmas. Does this mean that they must now bend to my will as I am supposed to bend to theirs? That'll be the day ...
