Baptist Hypocracy Satire

Update

OH CRAP: I WAS HAD. I should always check Snopes and Wikipedia before I post.

The Landover Baptist Church is a fictional Baptist church based in the fictional town of Freehold, Iowa. The Landover Baptist web site and its associated Landoverbaptist.net Forum are a parody of fundamentalist Christianity and the Religious Right in the United States, and of Westboro Baptist Church in particular.

I will do penance and wallow in gullible shame, leaving my original post after the jump…

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.
