Piglet Banned in Saudi Arabia
CJW over at the RetroDisney Blog tipped me off to this article on QatarLiving.com. The author of the post found a Winnie the Pooh book in a local bookstore. They picked it up in hopes of teaching their young daughter about Pooh and nature. On further examination, they found that Piglet had been systematically blotched out with a black sharpie. It’s not definitive that it was a censor who “vandalized” the book, but the author is pretty convinced it was.

    As far as I know (I don't follow Islam, I am sure somebody will be able to give more info on this) pigs are considdered unclean with the believe. Showing a pig in a kiddie book is not something they can tolerate. Therefore it has been censored.
  • That was the impression I took from the article too.
