Porcelain Pigs Deemed to Offend Muslims

    Oh this is a quite old yet somewhat weird story happened in 1998 in England. A woman from Leicester collecting porcelain pigs placed them her house's window sill and was complained by local Musilms who believed that those pigs offensive.
    "I just couldn't believe it, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry," Mrs Nancy Bennett, the owner of the 17 miniature pigs, told the Sun tabloid newspaper.

    The porcelain figures were held at the local police station, while Mrs Bennett was threatened with prosecution if she replaces the collection. Her house is located in the same street as the city's main mosque, meaning that Muslim worshippers often passed by her front window where the pig figurines were on display.
