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.


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?

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.

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.

Beyond that there are Islamic prohibitions against depictions of living things.

Given half a chance, I think a lot of people would happily give them something substantial to complain about.

They move to someone else's country and start complaining and trying to force it to be just like the one they left.

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)

...has sparked outrage from Muslims...

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.
