They need to setup a more very offensive billboards and wait with snipers.

[martin_fierro]

Coming soon to a billboard near you.

Yet these same Muslims will booze up, buy hookers, and plot flights into NYC skyscrapers.....waddabunchainfidels.

The headline is inaccurate. It should read:

Muslims rip down billboards that are offensive to them

A significant difference. But, since everything that doesn't have the word 'mohammed' in it offends them, there's no news here.

[glock rocks]

hmmmm...

Bait !

[reagan_fanatic]

Would a billboard showing a mooselimb ravaging his 12 year-old bride be deemed offensive?

[yer gonna put yer eye out]

Where's the aclu??huh??

[Land_of_Lincoln_John]

Agreed!!! But to prevent duplicate postings, I stuck with the original..

[yer gonna put yer eye out]

Well I Know...it's the bclu over there!

[i_dont_chat]

How about a billboard showing a beheading? Would THAT be offensive? I think NOT! Sex - bad; murder - good.

[mlc9852]

Or a beheading? How about dragging a burned body through the street and hanging it from a bridge? Would that be offensive? How about blowing up children? Any problem with that? The world would be infinitely better without any Muslims.

[Dark Skies]

British Muslim activists have stepped up a campaign to deface or rip down advertising billboards featuring scantily-clad women in communities with large numbers of Muslims.

Does this mean that Muslims aren't a good target market for Benny Hill reruns?

[NorCalRepub]

I would further like to know what the Brits are gonna do about this.....when is "enough" enough

[marmar]

Hopefully this will be a wake up call for all those Brits that have found the war on terrorism offensive. It is coming to their soil.....maybe Laura Bush is getting more appealing.....

[Lazamataz]

The world would be infinitely better without any Muslims.

Not true.

Some other Satanic moon-cult would fill the vaccuum.

[snarks_when_bored]

You did the right thing. My comment was directed at the original headline writer. She made the same type of error that gets made almost every day when reporters speak of 'the holy city of Karbala' or 'the holy city of Mecca'. Those cities are only holy in the eyes of muslims. 'Holiness' isn't an objective property of those cities, just as 'offensiveness' isn't an objective property of the U.K. billboards.

[anniegetyourgun]

It's all a front for Islamoenvirofacists....with the ultimate goal to eliminate all billboards. Big billboards should be nervous.....

[Land_of_Lincoln_John]

Where's the aclu??huh??

And will the New York Times run this story???

[international american]

Put up a billboard with a upper class brit peeing on a mosque.
