And if you thought the "Mohammed Cartoons" scandal was a passing phase...
Geez, ya' can't make this crap up:
Pinocchio, Tom Sawyer and other characters have been converted to Islam in new versions of 100 classic stories on the Turkish school curriculum.As one talkback on Little Green Footballs put it: "I'd like to see those bastards rewrite Green Eggs and Ham!"
"Give me some bread, for Allah's sake," Pinocchio says to Geppetto, his maker, in a book stamped with the crest of the ministry of education.
"Thanks be to Allah," the puppet says later.

I agree with abbagav on this.
This has got to be a unique achievement in the history of translation, although I have no idea if it would work in Arabic.
Here we have a faithful translation of everyone's favorite "Green Eggs and Ham" without any mention of ham and without lying by calling it “lamb.”
"Lo Raev Velo Ohev" means "I'm not hungry and I don't like it."
And thanks for posting a link to our website. Quite a bit of traffic came our way.
We sell Dr. Seuss titles and many other favorites for kids and grown-ups in Hebrew translation. Local shipping in Israel and North America.
