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.'

interesting.
I consider my dog to be an angel.
What is WRONG with these idiots?
Ever notice how observant Jews never seem to complain abouts pigs, catfish, or anything else non-kosher?
They quietly go about looking for the Circle U or K or whatever on their food products and don’t worry about what other people do.
Interesting contrast, no?!

that puppy is so cute.
I love the ear flopped to one side.
but none of them were outraged (OUTRAGED~!!) by cutting off Nick Berg’s head, or planes flying into buildings...
what an odd religion.
I think everyone in the USA should raise a pet pig, just for luck
Would be great if he is FReeped & all the FReepers had signs with different puppy & dog pictures!!
Pigs are bad. Dogs are bad. But Muslims are okay. Something’s not right here.
> The advert has upset Muslims because dogs are considered ritually unclean...
My German Shepherd is deeply hurt because she doesn’t like being ritually unclean. If there are any Muslims handy that wouldn’t mind giving her a ritual washing, I’m sure she’d reciprocate by taking them out for a bite to eat.
Dream on. This is precisely why the West NEVER calls Islamic terrorist attacks what they are. The murders and atrocities are forgiven (and encouraged).
I think Muhammad resented the site of dogs because of the time prior to the eighth century when his people were forced to resort to dogs for food.
"If dogs don't go to heaven, then when I die I wanna go they go."
--Will Rogers
Ya know what, McGee. Muslims “outrage” me so much that I would like file a lawsuit against every one of those rag-headed, terrorist MFs and ask the court to impose the death penalty on ever one.
How’s ‘bout them road apples, Moohammed?
Deport them. They don’t want to adapt to the culture. Therefore, they don’t belong in Scotland.
If life in the West is really so intolerable, they should consider a country more to their liking. Otherwise, assimilate and shut up.
The more we change our society to accomodate this nonsense, the worse off we will be. If the police outreach program is less effective, I am sure they will muddle through somehow.
[...I forgot about beheadings of infidel.]
That’s called a photo-op!
In the Hindu epic, The Mahabharata, when the primary protagonist is being put through the horrors of the netherworld, a dog attaches himself to him, accompanies him the whole of the way. When he reaches heaven, he is told that the dog cant come, but he can.
He replies, “If the dog cant come, then neither shall I”. Turns out it was his final test, and he, and his pet enter the gates.

I have never seen a Jew be anything other than polite to other religions, now that you mention it. I have seen Jews get pretty exercised over points of doctrine with other Jews, but even then there is a degree of decorum entirely absent from the Muslims.
As Christians, we know that the Antichrist is coming. Perhaps the AntiJew is already here, and his name is Mohammad...
