"The last thing we want to do is cause anybody any offence."

That's right. Apologize for your culture and country, dhimmi; 7th Century tribal cultures are vastly superior, doncha know.

[RetiredArmy]

Well, we can't have the head-cutters being OFFENDED can we?

[Emmett McCarthy]

The thing is that if you don't stop offending them, then offending them IS the last thing you'll do.

[ncountylee]

"Muslims who worship there said they found it offensive. "

So?

[x5452]

If Christians griped about this across from a church the media would laugh at them.

[ErnBatavia]

OK - take it down and replace with a Jimmy Dean Pure Pork Sausage billboard...

[InsureAmerica]

I bet a poster of nick berg or daniel pearl wouldn't warrant a complaint?

If they don't like it, then move somewhere else. The world is full of complainers. Tolerance my a**.

[2banana]

Any anger over this?

Saudi Arabia - Conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death. Bibles are illegal. Churches are illegal.

Yemen - Bans proselytizing by non-Muslims and forbids conversions. The Government does not allow the building of new non-Muslim places of worship.

Kuwait - Registration and licensing of religious groups. Members of religions not sanctioned in the Koran may not build places of worship. Prohibits organized religious education for religions other than Islam.

Egypt - Islam is the official state religion and primary source of legislation. Accordingly, religious practices that conflict with Islamic law are prohibited. Muslims may face legal problems if they convert to another faith. Requires non-Muslims to obtain what is now a presidential decree to build a place of worship.

Algeria - The law prohibits public assembly for purposes of practicing a faith other than Islam. Non-Islamic proselytizing is illegal, and the Government restricts the importation of non-Islamic literature for distribution.

Jordan - Has the death penalty for any Muslim selling land to a Jew.

Sudan - Conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death.

Pakistan - Conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death. Bans proselytizing by non-Muslims. Christians regularly put in prison for charges of blasphemy.

It's not acceptable for people coming out of a mosque to see something like that. There's enough immorality in the world and to impose something like this on Muslims is totally unacceptable

Unless they're about to fly an airplane into a building the next morning.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Owners of the Aviary club said they had not received an official complaint but did not want to cause offence.

Don't make them mad or they might do something crazy. When you're a muslim, it's okay to riot, bomb random people, and torture-murder them in the street.

[RetiredArmy]

Or one of Miss Piggy.

[Cyber Liberty]

It would really kill someone if they just called the Aviary and told them the sign is posted in a lousy location vis attracting customers. A "Capitalist" approach just doesn't figure in.

"It's more the fact that people should be a bit more sensitive. We're upset rather than outraged."

TRANSLATION: "This is your only warning. Watch for explosions or perhaps a decapitation as punishment in the name of our Religion of Pieces."

[Racehorse]

That's right. Apologize for your culture and country, dhimmi; 7th Century tribal cultures are vastly superior, doncha know.

They should do more than apologize.  They should remove the sign.

Why but up signage like that within view of any house of worship?

[RetiredArmy]

Egypt - Islam is the official state religion and primary source of legislation.

Well, this is certainly against the First Amendment!! Why hasn't the ACLU sued in court there yet?? I would expect the socialist democrats, whose religion is liberalism, to be up in arms over this!! A STATE SPONSORED RELIGION!!! OMG!!! /sarcasm still on.

[wolfcreek]

Screw um! They can all take a slow boat back to where ever they came from.

[wildcatf4f3]

its the muslims' slave trafficking in white girls that supplies the club. Hey, they learned NIMBY

[Paloma_55]

How about a poster of the twin towers being hit with the words "We will never forget!"

This gives me an idea....

[Mr. Jeeves]

Yeah, if a young mosque-goer sees that poster, he might decide he has something better to do on Saturday night than blow himself up in the Tube at the Imam's command. ;)

Frig the towel heads and feed'em fish heads.
