Westboro Baptist Church, the hate group that masquerades as a religious organization, is known for their publicity stunts, but they may have bit off more than they can chew with this one. After a comedian offered to pay for them to fly to Iraq so they can protest real Christian persecution at the hands of Islamic militants, the group tweeted that they have accepted his offer. They want to take their picket signs and head over to a country currently occupied by a group that beheads Christian children without hesitation – this ought to go well.

To bring you up to speed: Last week, Australian comedian Adam Hills gave an brilliant, hilarious proposal to the WBC after learned that they planned to – surprise, surprise – picket Robin Williams’ funeral. On his show, The Last Leg, Hills pointed out that the infamous “God Hates Fags” group is quick to march around with signs protesting American hedonism, but don’t have the courage to protest the daily persecution Christians in Iraq are facing at the hands of “the people threatening to behead Christians if they don’t convert.”

Protest on their behalf, correct?

[DManA]

Both sides are publicity hogs an you fell into their trap by publicizing them.

[doc1019]

If they go, knowing what we know about ISIS, they will stay ... death is permanent.

[Robert DeLong]

That’s the best news I have heard yet. Now we won’t have to worry about them anymore.

[a fool in paradise]

What Would Phred Phelps Do?

[Slings and Arrows]

They’ll need new signs.

[Slings and Arrows]

Decompose.

[Pelham]

They’ll need new heads.

[a fool in paradise]

Do they realize that the locals don’t read English?

[Slings and Arrows]

We can hope.
