Westboro Baptist Church Accepts Comedian's Offer of Free Trip to Iraq
Last week, comedian Adam Hills, who hosts The Last Leg on Britain's Channel 4, took the Westboro Baptist Church to task for threatening to picket Robin Williams' funeral like a bunch of dickheads. He also put his money where his mouth is and offered to fly every WBC member to Iraq to picket "the people threatening to behead Christians if they don't convert."
Now the God Hates Fags people have called Hills' bluff—something he probably should have expected from the people crazy enough to picket Robin Williams' funeral—and accepted his offer of a free flight. Hell, they claim they've been there before.
We accepted! Whence tickets? @PhilCooke: An offer to fly WBC members 2 Iraq 2 protest. Sounds like good idea to me: http://t.co/97BEusEBxH

It's not exactly a great time to visit, though, what with the ongoing airstrikes against ISIS, the militant group that has seized a number of cities and earlier this week beheaded American journalist James Foley.
Theoretically, Westboro should hate the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria as much as they hate Muslims in general, so they might just go through with it.
Hills has promised to reply to them on the next episode of his show, which airs tonight.
