I'm Muslim

I'm Muslim and I love Winnie the Pooh and all the stories of him and Piglet and Tigger. I don't see anything wrong in toy pigs and statues - we're simply forbidden to eat pigs. Statues were forbidden once because people tended to worship them (idolators) but I think we've reached an age where we know we're not supposed to worship statues! I think it's ridiculous if children aren't allowed to watch Winnie the Pooh or own toys of the series or read the Three Little Pigs or own piggy banks.
