A billboard in St. Augustine, Florida, that criticizes Islam is causing international outrage.

The words 'Islam Bloody Islam' are written in a red, tattered font on a black background across the 14-foot high sign.

Written in in white below the red words the billboard reads: 'Doomed by its doctrine'.

.
.
'This is horrifying because this tells me that they want everyone in our whole city to read this,' she said.

A petition, started by a woman named Becky Williams, hopes to bring the sign down.

'We should always stand up for those in our community who are shown hatred and intolerance.

'We should be outraged that a billboard with this message could in any way represent our community as a whole.

There needs to be an alternate campaign to support the billboard!

Just add the words “Approved by Barack Obama” to the bottom and it should be ok then.

Too much truth for liberals to handle.

People have to be pushed and peer pressured to support a petition like this. Let’s face it. We all know IsLAM is a bloody cult.

Hey! You can’t criticize Islam! Sharia law says so!

Muslims think their rules apply to everyone, and if we let them think that. we’ll all be enslaved.

I bet you could round up 3000 signature to protest against free beer these days. Call me yawning on this movement.

Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2 wasn’t a problem.

Nothing riles liberals more than the unvarnished truth.

I consider St. Augustine to be my ‘home away from home’, as I’m there several weeks a year.

Stories like this make me like the place even more. The people of St. Johns County don’t take s**t from anybody, hence I can’t see that billboard coming down other than by force.

If you get YOUR way, Becky, it will become 'We should always stand up for those give in to those in our community who are shown show hatred and intolerance. There is nothing more intolerant than Islam.

The truth-haters will protest the billboard company, which will take the sign down.

Guarantee it.
