Three paintings of piglets were removed from a Dutch hospital after a patient complaint that they could be offensive to Muslims.

The complaint was actually NOT lodged by a person of Muslim faith, and just proves to me that we have gone to far in political correctness.

The hospital decided to take them down anyway just in case a real Muslim might be offended, the paintings were replaced by ones of cows (guess offending hindus is less of a problem here)

The crazy part is not that some idiot complained but that a hospital would pander to this sort of crap.
