Officials in Minnesota are revoking a resident's vanity license plate seen as offensive toward Muslims.

The plate in question reads "FMUSLMS." Soon after media reports appeared on the plates, a Department of Public Safety spokesman said they would be removed immediately. [...]

The plates were approved in June 2015. ...

Actually, it sounds a bit like an invitation to having your auto converted into a car bomb. Not too smart...

[BipolarBob]

A bumper sticker may suffice then.

With a bumper sticker you wouldn’t have to abbreviate.

Don’t think that one was revoked for being offensive to Muslims, think it was revoked for the people in charge finally finding out what the F stands for. I know a few folks who make a hobby of trying to sneak stuff past the DMV, harder than you think.

I certainly find it less offensive than a “Coexist” bumper sticker.

[Olog-hai]

Not too much danger of that in Foley, perhaps.

Go with IMUSLMS. I = a synonym. DMV probably won’t get that one.

[discostu]

Of course the problem there is if you go so obscure DMV doesn’t get it the people you’re trying to poke at probably won’t get it either.

If the owner of the license plate lives in Foley MN, any muslim trying to get to him will have to dodge a whole lot of pig farms.
