".. afraid of offending Jewish... readers"?!!!----Complete Ban On Using The Word ‘Pork’ To Avoid Offending Muslims 

ABSURD: Complete Ban On Using The Word ‘Pork’ To Avoid Offending Muslims :
"When an institution sets out to ban something, more often than not the thing they choose to ban simply reflects back on that institution’s way of thinking.
So what does it tell us about the Oxford University Press that they are banning authors from using words that refer to pigs?
Yes, you read that correctly.
Oxford UP is prohibiting authors from using the words pig, pork, sausage, or other pig-related words because they are afraid of offending Jewish or Muslim readers who consider pigs and pork to be off-limits for religious reasons."
