Fireman Sam Episode Pulled Because it Shows The Koran

[alfredmizen]

An episode has been pulled because it features a character treading on the Koran after complaints from members of the public(Hmmm , i wonder who ?) You'd think that with all thats going on muslims would just keep their heads down and STFU , but no , not Miqdaad Versi , assistant at the Muslim council of Britain, who has managed to find offence at a kids TV programme.

It's a ****ing book.

It's a ****ing book.

To be more accurate - it's a ****ing fairy tale book !

I'm deeply concerned now about the fact that that season of Fireman's Sam continuity is going to be knackered. Think of the kids.

Nasty work by the production team.

 

[Bold Seagull]

[MENTION=31796]alfredmizen[/MENTION] not one of those articles says it received complaints, just that it was bought to their attention. All Versi tweeted was he didn't know what the producers were thinking. You really are just a shitstirrer.

Almost right.

Looks like someone in production was just deciding to be pointlessly provocative.

I thought it was pulled because it showed an image of the Koran being stamped on.
Someone want to produce an image of Mein Kampf being stamped on?

It would never have happened if the show was properly stop motion animated, as they wouldn't have been able to just "copy and paste" some random text without some thought!

 

[carlzeiss]

To balance things how about an episode where Fireman Sam and brave colleagues put out a fire at a Koran printing works .

 

[Iggle Piggle]

I bet it was Norman Price who stood on it.

The ginger Tw@t.

Edit read story first.

I wonder how long it will be until some moron starts shooting at fireman because of this incident.

Careful, wouldn't want to offend anyone!

And have been sacked as a consequence. It's a non story.

I wonder how Bushy would feel if it was sashes of the Orange order, the Union flag, or Rememderance Poppies, being trodden on. They are all only symbols.

NSCs permanently offended

Oh dear I do feel for Fireman Sams safety...: Perhaps Bob together with scoop,loft and Dizzy could build them a new Mosque.-
