The Brussels Journal and Muslims

On Wednesday, I linked to to the story of the idiotic judges of an award who rejected a story based on the three little pigs:...The feedback from the judges explaining why they had rejected the CD-Rom highlighted that they "could not recommend this product to the Muslim community".

They also warned that the story might "alienate parts of the workforce (building trade)".

The judges criticised the stereotyping in the story of the unfortunate pigs: "Is it true that all builders are cowboys, builders get their work blown down, and builders are like pigs?" The Brussels Journal is a site which many American conservatives read about matters European. Unfortunately, although some of its writers are far from stupid, many of their attitudes - prejudices, to be blunt - mean that the 'news' the site reports is often seen through distorting glasses.
