Muslims outraged at police advert featuring cute puppy sitting in policeman's hat

A postcard featuring a cute puppy sitting in a policeman's hat advertising a Scottish police force's new telephone number has sparked outrage from Muslims.

Tayside Police's new non-emergency phone number has prompted complaints from members of the Islamic community.

The choice of image on the Tayside Police cards - a black dog sitting in a police officer's hat - has now been raised with Chief Constable John Vine.


Tayside Police caused uproar in the Muslim community after they
released this advertisement featuring police puppy Rebel sitting
in a hat

The advert has upset Muslims because dogs are considered ritually unclean and has sparked such anger that some shopkeepers in Dundee have refused to display the advert.

Dundee councillor Mohammed Asif said: 'My concern was that it's not welcomed by all communities, with the dog on the cards.

'It was probably a waste of resources going to these communities.

'They (the police) should have understood. Since then, the police have explained that it was an oversight on their part, and that if they'd seen it was going to cause upset they wouldn't have done it.'

> When G-D made dogs, he intended them to be mans best friend!

You know it. I find myself always marvelling at the miracle of dogs. The special love and understanding between humans and dogs cannot have been designed better.

There are some very rough times I could not have gone through without the pure unconditional love of my dog. I believe dogs were sent here to demonstrate how pure, powerful and simple the Almighty’s love really is, delivered by one of His lowliest creatures. How great is that??? What an amazing lesson.

They hate dogs. What more do you need to know about this people?

Muslims hate everything that isn't Muslim.

Muslims hate. 'Nuff said.

Fine! Then the muzzies won’t have the cop’s new phone number. If they need help, they won’t be able to call the cops. Fine.

I absolutely agree with you about dogs, mine are my best friends but why do some people write G-D like you just did?

“outraged” . . . again?

Muslims don’t do tolerance. They do submission.

Evil bastards. There is something profoundly wrong with a group of people who don’t like dogs in general and cute puppies in particular. God gave dogs to us, you foul creatures, and your hatred of dogs is rooted in the fact that you are not as good as they are.

Not sure: I was replying to oswegodeee who used that convention. I think it comes out of some readings of the Bible that prohibit the full spelling out of the Deity's name, and indeed if you look at the original Hebrew of the Bible the Name omits the vowels ("YHWH" with the a and e removed).

I'll take all three!

Not just because I love dogs (I do) but because they'd cover any Muzzie around in more slobber than they could handle.

Death by puppy slobber!

Only members of the violent cult of Islam would think such a cute creature as a puppy is something to destroy. Their brainwashing is nothing but pure evil on display.

I agree with what everyone's said. But I am trying to figure out what a cutsie puppy is doing in a police ad. Doesn't seem to fit.

How can you respect any religion that hates puppies?

This could be the issue where the Muslims finally “go too far.” Most people LOVE dogs. I cannot see Americans putting up with banning dogs and images of dogs everywhere, just to please the Muslims.

OK - police dog in training. Note to self - read entire article.

But if they are offended at the picture of the puppy, what’s going to be the reaction to the adult dog doing police work?
