Westboro Baptist Church Says It’s Going To Iraq To Protest ISIS
Addicting Info ^ | 8/22/2014 | JAMESON PARKER

Posted on 08/22/2014 9:06:42 PM PDT by Borges

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.”

Quick, where can I contribute to the ticket purchase. There will be some beheadings if they go! Do Westboro Baptists believe in 72 Virgins for martyrdom?

I wonder how much a kickstarter fund for their (one way) tickets would generate?

Maybe we can give ‘em a few suitcase nukes (with remote control detonation, of course) and/or a bad case of ebola before they go.

Dear WBC...

Before you ship out to Iraq... please, please, please protest at the Gentle Giant Mike Brown funeral. Put the FUN back in funeral.

Thanks in advance,

When I saw the clip where the comedian made that offer, I said I’d be willing to chip in for their airfare.

If they actually go, I’m more than happy to keep that promise!

Westboro Baptist Church fanatics vs. Middle East Muslim fanatics — who will win this protest? If the Westboro folks aren't armed, the friendly Muslims will murder them in the most disagreeable of ways. Sounds like a win-win scenario.
