A billboard in St. Augustine, Florida, that criticizes Islam is causing international outrage.

The words 'Islam Bloody Islam' are written in a red, tattered font on a black background across the 14-foot high sign.

Written in in white below the red words the billboard reads: 'Doomed by its doctrine'.
.
.
.
'This is horrifying because this tells me that they want everyone in our whole city to read this,' she said.

A petition, started by a woman named Becky Williams, hopes to bring the sign down.

'We should always stand up for those in our community who are shown hatred and intolerance.

'We should be outraged that a billboard with this message could in any way represent our community as a whole.

“This is horrifying (snip)”

I nominate this gal for the “Well Duh!” award.

The purpose of billboards is indeed to be seen by all.

And considering the doctrines of Islam, she is also up for “Got My Head Up My Can” award too.

Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2 wasn’t a problem.

It wasn’t a problem. It was about the Irish troubles. A lot of blood involved

My complements to the writer and renter of the billboard. Truth in advertising on display! I hope the owner of the billboard does not succumb to the leftist push to take it down.

Bono should do a rewrite of Sunday Bloody Sunday.

Speaking of Bono.....

Bono: 'Send Amy Schumer and Chris Rock to fight Islamic State'

I sure hope everyone reads it and learns what islam is-a death cult that has infiltrated the West.

When faced with the undeniable truth, liberals will always demand the opposite.

I will never understand that but I will say this, one of my highly intelligent friends who is a non-believer said a long time ago that he would live in a Jewish-Christian dominated nation than a Muslim one, I think he has a point, just try putting this poster in a Muslim nation, I do not think you would make it out alive.

Well okay there could have been finer ways to put it.

But it most certainly has got people talking about it now.

Ha, the Bible is basically forbidden in the middle easy. Something like this billboard would no doubt get your whole family killed.
