When will we just start executing militant muslims?

They are just too annoying to continue using our air. ‘Muslims outraged at police advert featuring cute puppy sitting in policeman’s hat’:
Tayside Police’s new non-emergency phone number has prompted complaints from members of the Islamic community.
The choice of image on the Tayside Police cards - a black dog sitting in a police officer’s hat - has now been raised with Chief Constable John Vine.
The advert has upset Muslims because dogs are considered ritually unclean and has sparked such anger that some shopkeepers in Dundee have refused to display the advert.
Dundee councillor Mohammed Asif said: ‘My concern was that it’s not welcomed by all communities, with the dog on the cards.
‘It was probably a waste of resources going to these communities.
‘They (the police) should have understood. Since then, the police have explained that it was an oversight on their part, and that if they’d seen it was going to cause upset they wouldn’t have done it.’
I’ve got no tolerance for this kind of shit. And of course the police caved. They need to take a lesson from Australia: Conform or get out.

One of my favorite fictional characters finally has a quality logo: Satan’s Logo. The Creator (heh) describes the design parameters thusly:

And to think I’m still trying to perfect gluttony and sloth…
Vatican Includes Drugs and Wealth in New Sin List (via Metafilter, though I’ve heard this story elsewhere):
In an effort to appeal to the modern Catholic, the Vatican has announced a list of seven new mortal sins. Some of the new don’ts: thou shalt not pollute and thou shalt not have too much money.
“I think it’s to remind people that sins are not just individual,” he says referring to the Catholic church’s old seven deadly sins — lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride. “There’s also social sins .. .sins that affect the community at large and sins that an institution can engage in.”
The New Mortal Sins
1.) genetic modification
2.) carrying out experiments on humans
3.) polluting the environment
4.) causing social injustice
5.) causing poverty
6.) becoming obscenely wealthy
7.) taking drugs
HOW IS NUMBER 6 BAD? THAT’S THE AMERICAN DREAM. Stupid catholics.
