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.'

This is a sick, twisted “religion”. How can anyone be offended by such a cute puppy?
We ought to export to the UK the practice of Dalmations accompanying firemen.
“outraged” . . . again?
They hate dogs. What more do you need to know about this people?
Tail wagging the dog???
It was real smart allowing all these moslems into Europe and not expecting them to adapt to the new society. /s
Is there anything muslims are not outraged at? Oh, yeah...I forgot about beheadings of infidels. That’s always a hit with them.
What an outrage! Next time they should use a pig.
when are this societies facing this islamic onslaught finally going to get the b-lls to tell this fools to GTFO and don’t let the door hit you on the -ss on your way out.
Beyond that there are Islamic prohibitions against depictions of living things.
It is institutionalized Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
Given half a chance, I think a lot of people would happily give them something substantial to complain about.
Why didn't they just stay where they were if they can't deal with the differences?
They are not normal. They watch videos about headslicings, but complain about a cute puppy.
OH! The insensitivity of it all!!
When is the UK going to stand firm? When it is too late?
(or replace the pup with a cat — but that would be giving in)
"I never take a vacation!"
So cute puppies spark outrage but we hear nothing from muslims about sending 8 year old girls on suicide bomb attacks. Vermin.
“RITUALLY” unclean. That means you can’t have dogs involved with any Muslim prayer or rituals, such as washing. It doesn’t mean that dogs are evil monsters which can’t even be viewed! What is wrong with these diaperheads? They don’t even know their own holy book.
Hmmm...
Someone ought to check if Obama has now or ever had animals, especially dogs, as pets...
