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.

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.


Oh the horror of it all.  They published a picture of a dog!!!!   :whatever:

Do you think they are ever going to "run out" of things to be outraged about?

When they do, they'll be outraged about it.   :-)

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

So the Koran forbids people touching or even just looking at pictures of dogs, too?

Dogs, in particular Black Dogs, are seen as a tool of Satan.

They are thought to be unclean in Islam. Even to touch one required a muslim to purify and wash.

Just one of those funny things about Mohammad's followers.

Say...Does Barry have a dog?

A few years ago, a local college "newspaper" had banner headlines every time the Greens protested something and I wrote in and asked them why that was news since the only thing Greens ever did was to protest?

Same with Muslims and outrage.  It's like a headline saying the sun rose in the east.

My fellow Americans, there is nothing audacious about hope. Hope is what makes people buy lottery tickets instead of paying the bills. Hope is for the old gals feeding the slots in Atlantic City. It destroys the inner-city kid who quits school because he hopes he'll be a world-famous recording artist.

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?

One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

The other kills her own food.
