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.'

I’m so sick of hearing about Muslims being “offended” I could vomit. I’m sick of their whining and whinging and their temper tantrums in general. It’s time the British people tell them to go drink a nice warm glass of Shut The F-— Up.

The politics of Islam, the religion of Islam, the culture of Islam - its all the same. They make no distinction. They want world-wide domination. Period. The vicious and impossible Sharia Law is what ties it all together into one neat package designed to blow up in your face.

Sorry, but you don't know what the heck you're talking about. The culture of Muslims who live in Indonesia is completely different from the culture of Muslims who live in Cairo, Albania or Tanzania, despite the fact that they all share a common religion. It's the same way that Christians in Alabama and Christians in Nigeria might worship the same God, but otherwise share few overlapping cultural traits.

Without a doubt, religion and culture inform one another, but they're not the same thing. Not even close.

There’s a reason mohammedans hate dogs.

When they sense a threat their barking always warn their owners when a mohammedan is sneaking through the shadows with evil intent(pretty much the only intent they ever have).

It makes life harder for the barbaric devils when a dog goes on the alarm and alerts the mohammedans intended victim.

In our civilized culture, dogs are a symbol of loyalty and security. Even a timid dog makes a great intruder alarm.
Security, safety and protection are symbols of both police and dogs.

I really do hope they do that...it'll help everybody know who the bastards are. Just look for shops without the picture of the cute puppy.

Thank you for that opinion, but you are the ignorant one.

Islam is unique among world religions. Culture is all-encompassing, it involves clothes, food, social rituals, all the external irelevancies that makes different regions different.

You are focusing on trivia, when the evil that binds muslims together is the necessity to make the basic tenets of islam universal and mandatory, overiding secular tradition, customs and law. That makes terrorist muslims world-wide identical in results.

Take a follower of Jemaah Islamiah in Indonesia and another terrorist from National Islamic Front (NIF) in the Sudan and their goals and means of achieving those goals are identical: animalistic terrorism.

Deal with that.
But I suppose you'd rather focus on language, dress, food, dance...

Right?

We're talking culture, not religion. Islam doesn't say puppies are unclean, Arabs and Pakistanis do.

You're saying that this is a culture issue. Yet radical Islamists certainly make no distinction between this issue and their religion. That's the point.

You're also missing the point about Sharia law. Islam's Sharia law levels the playing field, so to speak, regardless of culture. If radical Islam and their crazy Sharia law rule the day they'll level everything including the culture.

It doesn’t mean that dogs are evil monsters which can’t even be viewed!

There is a whole chapter in the Hadith (sayings of Mohammod) proclaiming that dogs are to be killed

OTOH, Mohammed was an extreme cat lover. One of the hadith supposedly say that a cat saved Mohammed from being bitten by a deadly snake. In another, when Mohammed’s tabby cat Muezza fell asleep on the sleeve of his rob, Mohammed cut off his sleeve rather than disturb his cat.

The religion of the perpetually pissed. Muslims need to go back to their homelands if they don't like what the people of the country they are living in do, whether it be ads with dogs in them or drinking alcohol or women wearing revealing clothes. They need to be told to STFU by the leaders of Scotland, that the ad was aimed at the people of Scotland and if they don't want to be Scottish then they need to get out of the country.

All this screaming and crying by muslims over the least little thing is planned out. They keep the pressure on and gradually they will change the laws of a country, or so they hope. That is why complaints such as this need to be squashed immediately if not sooner.

The Muzzies would be SHOCKED AND HORRIFIED at my bedtime ritual when my two large dogs and I figure out which of us will occupy the bed and where.

I don't know whether to be more outraged at Islamic idiots for claiming to be "offended" over a picture of a puppy, or the European idiot weaklings that indulge their complaints and appease them every step of the way by ceding to their insane demands and apologizing to them for things that don't deserve an apology, much less a retraction. WTG Europe!

Actually, I am more offended by the appeasers. They never learn, and are spineless jellyfish. The muslims are simply intelligent enough to know that their host nations are populated by a bunch of politically correct, limp-wristed pansies, that won't do anything to stop their psychological onslaught.
