Muslims Against Peppa Pig: Facebook Campaign Launched to Ban Popular Cartoon

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."

Not everybody who is on the internet is savvy enough to know how to verify or discern fact from fiction and these so called stories are done in such a way to mimic very closely real news articles and the fact the that neither you nor the article authors. Can see past your nose to see the potential damage that these do is very concerning , will it still be funny if one of the people who can not tell the difference kills Muslim or a Muslim who can't tell the difference takes it to heart and bombs the TV station , will you be laughing then

I don't believe the OP did know it was satire. Easy to say they did now.

It is very easy to check the source of anything posted here. You only need to C&P a sentence or 2 and put it in google...and it will come up.

People shouldn't be so gullible and lacking intellginece and  be so ready to jump on everything they read as being based on facts.

Satire is satire....

The OP had to use a yahoo UK source for the opening post.

I am not fighting about anything. Leaving my view only - that the OP did not know the quoted article was satire when they started this thread.

I mentioned yahoo Uk, because if this story was legit it would also be in more mainstream media news than 'yahoo'.

p.s I find it odd, and seems to becoming more common... posters leaving song clips\videos at the end of their posts.

It is a little odd, I know but I'm on a bender of this song today and the message just fits in with my attempt at a lighthearted reply...

Spoiler

Plus I've only just learnt how to post a video here, cos i'm still a noob here really... 

I dont know if Nero knew or not, she claims that she did so I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and believe her...
