Dutch Bank Afraid To Give Away Piggy Banks - Guess Why?
Louie’s Uncle Louie is NOT happy.
…and the islamization of Europe continues.
Fortis Bank will no longer give children a piggy-bank if they open an account. The company apparently is afraid of offending Muslims.
Fortis clients that open a EuroKids account for their children are given a present of a piggy-bank called Knorbert. But the bank is stopping this because “Knorbert does not meet the requirements that the multicultural society imposes on us,” yesterday’s De Telegraaf quoted a spokesman as saying.
Pigs are considered unclean animals by Jews and Muslims. An Internet campaign in which Knorbert played a leading role has also been halted by Fortis.
According to a spokeswoman, there have been “a number of reactions to the pig” and a new present is being worked on that is “fun for children of any persuasion whatever.” As an interim solution, the bank is currently offering a children’s encyclopaedia.
Later yesterday, Fortis tried to quash the suggestion that it was influenced by Islam. “The real story is a bit more balanced. “The Knorbert product has reached the end of its life-cycle,” was spokeswoman Marianne Honkoop’s attempt.
