Westboro Baptist church is Planning a Trip to Iraq to Protest Against ISIS

The hate group from Florida that calls itself “Westboro Baptist Church” has accepted the offer of an Australian comedian to fly to Iraq and protest the beheading of Christians who would not convert to Islam.

The offer to pay for and fly all the members of the “Church” to Iraq came from a popular Australian comedian named Adam Hills. The comedian made the offer last month after learning that members of Westboro planned to protest at the funeral of Robin Williams, calling him “a fag lover!.”

On his show, The Last Leg, Adam Hills said;

“If you really believe in standing up to those threatening the Christian way of life, Westboro Baptist Church, how about putting your money where your mouth is, taking a direct flight to Iraq and picketing the people threatening to behead Christians if they don’t convert. Surely that’s more of a threat to Christianity than a guy who said, ‘you think God ever get stoned? Look at a platypus, I think you’d think he might!’”

Adam Hills then went on to promised to “personally pay for every member of the Westboro Baptiste Church to fly to Iraq right now. I’ll even fly you first class.”

Westboro answered on Twitter that they accepted the offer. Further saying, “We accepted! Whence tickets?”

Hills responded via Twitter, “Oh it’s a deal!”

Like I said above, this happened last month. We are still waiting to see Westboro Baptist “Church” in Iraq holding up signs saying “God Hates ISIS” or “God Hates Islam.” This should be entertaining!

This Muslim Expresses Her True Feelings on ISIS – PIC

I never thought there was a proper comparison for The Westboro Baptist Church, but now that this Muslim has dared ventured out on a limb and compared ISIS to the hate-mongers in Westboro, I can absolutely see the connections. They’re both the same. Beheading their ‘enemies’ as in ISIS, or rejoicing when others are killed as in the Baptiste Church, hate is hate and these two groups are masters of it.

Peaceful Counter Protesters Confuses Westboro Protesters

In their first protest since their leader Fred Phelps died earlier this week, Westboro members were met with peaceful signs from counter protesters.

The Westboro Baptist gang members were protesting at a Lorde concert. With them they brought the usual “God hates everybody” signs. But they were met by another group of protesters clearly offering condolences to the passing of Mr. Fred Phelps. The counter protesters carried signs that read, “Sorry for your loss.”

“We realized that it wasn’t so much about antagonizing them but sending out the countered safe that we are here for people who need that message and need that positivity” Megan Coleman, who helped make the sign, said according to Kansas’ KSHB.

But apparently,  the good deed was lost to the Westboro members. “I don’t even know what they’re saying,” Westboro Baptist Chuch member Steve Drain said.

Im not surprised that the Westboro members couldn’t see the good deed. Hate is all they know, so the good deeds of others are confusing.

Another sign from the counter protesters:

Westboro Baptist Church Founder Fred Phelps is Dead

The founder of the Westboro Baptist Church who brought himself and his congregation notoriety by protesting at the funerals of military troops, the man responsible for having a group of misguided people celebrate every time there is a mass murder (they celebrated when 20 kids were murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School for crying out loud!), or celebrate when people die from a natural disaster, that man – Fred Phelps – has died. He was 84 years old.

A very hateful man is gone. I don’t think he will be resting in peace.

There is nothing else to report.

Westboro Baptist Church Founder is “On The Edge Of Death”

Fred Phelps

The founder of the Wesboro Baptist Church, Fred ‘God Hates Fags’ Phelps is reported to be “on the edge of death.”

The news comes via Nate Phelps, one of Fred’s estranged children, who wrote this in a Facebook post Saturday night:

I’ve learned that my father, Fred Phelps, Sr., pastor of the “God Hates Fags” Westboro Baptist Church, was ex-communicated from the “church” back in August of 2013. He is now on the edge of death at Midland Hospice house in Topeka, Kansas.

I’m not sure how I feel about this. Terribly ironic that his devotion to his god ends this way. Destroyed by the monster he made.

I feel sad for all the hurt he’s caused so many. I feel sad for those who will lose the grandfather and father they loved. And I’m bitterly angry that my family is blocking the family members who left from seeing him, and saying their good-byes.

Westboro Baptist Church “Thank God” For Arizona Fire That Killed 19 Firefighters

Here’s more from the hate mongers who call themselves members of a Baptist Church. Each time you think their hate cannot descend any lower, they show us that there is no limit to their hate.

After 19 firefighters were killed in Arizona this week while battling a wildfire, members of the hate group that masquerading as a “church” went online to express their joy.

And if that’s not enough to ruffle your feathers, here’s Westboro’s press release explaining their plans to picket the funerals of the firefighters.

Anonymous Hijacks Westboro Baptist Church’s Official Facebook Page

Are you tired of all the hate coming from the so-called “Church” in Florida better known as the Westboro Baptist Church? Well if you are, then you’ll love the decorations Anonymous has done to their official Facebook page.

A little disturbing background: While the entire nation mourned, the so-called “Church” recently announced that they would protest the funerals of those killed on Monday in the terrorist attack in Boston. Protesting funerals of upstanding Americans like those who died in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the kids who were murdered in Newtown Connecticut, is something Westboro is known for. It is their twisted way of bringing attention to their cause: Hate.

Well Anonymous has had enough and they took over Westboro’s official Facebook page, posting things a Church should actually be posting… things about love, peace and caring. And based on the comments, it seems that a majority of people are supporting Anonymous’ actions.

Personally, I’m wondering why this wasn’t done much much earlier.

Here’s an example of Westboro Anonymous’ posts and the responses it received. And take a look at Westboro’s Facebook page.

Freedom Of Speech Gives Rights to Hate Church

It’s a case that started in the lower courts which awarded the plaintiff, Albert Snyder, a substantial award for his pain and suffering. Later, the ruling was overturned by the Supreme Court after it decided that the case of Snyder vs. The Westboro Baptiste Church,  did not break any laws.

Mr. Snyder brought the case against the 50 member ‘church’ because, according to the complainant, the members showed up at the funeral of his son Lance Cpl. Mathew A. Snyder, who was killed in the Iraqi war. Snyder accused the church of  “intentionally inflicting emotional stress,” because, as was the case in several other such funerals,  the church showed up with protest signs that read, “God hate fags” and “America is doomed.” The Supreme Court applied the First Amendment as its reasoning behind  siding with the “church.” Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. wrote;

“Speech is powerful. It can stir people to action, move them to tears of both joy and sorrow, and — as it did here — inflict great pain.”

In addition to free speech, Justice Roberts suggests three more reasons why the church was within its rights to protest.

  1. Their protest was within the public’s interest. The Justice suggests that although the signs may have been inappropriate, “the issues they highlight — the political and moral conduct of the United States and its citizens, the fate of our nation, homosexuality in the military and scandals involving the Catholic clergy — are matters of public import.”
  2. The Justice wrote that the relationship between the church and the plaintiff was not one of a private grudge, and
  3. The church had a right to be where they were and were not breaking any state laws to hold the protest.
The Westboro Church is not new to controversies. They also protested at the funeral of Elizabeth Edwards, wife of presidential candidate John Edwards. Mrs. Edwards died of breast cancer in 2010, and had her funeral protested by Westboro group, who carried signs thanking God for her breast cancer. They also protested when congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot in her head in January, where six people, including a nine year old girl was killed. Westboro thanked God for sending the gunman.

Although the ruling by the Supreme Court is understandable, it is groups like the Westboro Baptiste church, in my humble opinion, that makes it necessary to add a clause to the Constitution that would exercise some restraint in the use  of  the amendment when it comes to such cases. For example, so-called church groups that protest the funeral  of a soldier who died in the line of duty while defending their democratic right to freedom of speech and peaceful assembly, should not be protected under the first amendment.

Church Says “Thank God For The Shooter” In Arizona

You can’t get much lower than this, no matter how  you try. This statement from a “church” in Kansas gives the word “vile” a new  meaning.

Following the shooting in Tucson, Arizona 10 days ago, where 6 people died including a Federal judge and a 9 year old girl, the Westboro Baptiste Church in Topeka, Kansas placed a flier on its website stating, “THANK GOD FOR THE SHOOTER,” then went on to say that they will “picket their funerals,” referring to the six victims killed by the gunman, Jarad Laughner.

The group, who also picketed the funeral of Elizabeth Edwards, wife of former presidential candidate, John Edwards, did not hold back their hate and extreme disgust for those killed in the shooting. The flier went on to say;

“Your federal judge is dead and your (fag-promoting, baby-killing, proud-sinner) Congresswoman fights for her life. God is avenging Himself on this rebellious house! 

Westboro Baptiste Church (WBC) continued, saying that a federal judge in Baltimore put the church on trial, and that congress “passed three laws against the WBC,” and that this was the  reason for the shooting. It was vengance. The flier states, “God sent the shooter to shoot you! And He’s sitting in Heaven laughing at you!”

When President Obama called for civility in his memorial speech after the shootings, this so-called “church”  turned a deaf ear to the message. They instead chose hate;

“WBC prays for your destruction–more shooters, more dead carcasses piling up, young, old, leader and commoner–all. Your doom is upon you!”

Below is the flier as it appears on their website.
