Red on Red: Westboro Baptist Church Set to Picket.....Dearborn Islamic Center.

Thank you, Jesus. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This is like Alien v. Predator, Leonard v. Hagler, Seinfeld v. Newman, Ralph Macchio v. The Cobra Kai Dojo and Olbermann v. Stewart all wrapped up in one delicious bite. If only I had cornered the market on popcorn before this fateful day!

Say it with me now: TWO CULTS ENTER! ONE CULT LEAVES! TWO CULTS ENTER! ONE CULT LEAVES!

Let's go to the tape:

In the Red corner, wearing wraparound black shades and a poofy polyester vest, we've got God's Own Avenger, Fred Phelps. He's old, but he's evil - and he's all about family. (Which is evidenced by the fact that his "church" is pretty much made up of his extended family members.) He really really really really really really really really really really really really really really disagrees with the current acceptance of homosexuality in modern culture. Up 'til now, he's warmed up on public events like Matthew Shephard's funeral, the funerals of US servicemen who died serving their country, and attending the 1988 Democratic National Convention as an invited guest of Al Gore - but now he's ready to step up a weight class and compete for the Heavyweight Title Belt.

In the Blue corner, wearing a hijab and carrying The Sword of Allah, we've got the Dearborn Islamic Center. They don't hate America................but they TOTALLY understand your motivation if you want to shoot up an Army Recruiting Center or lob a bomb into a synagogue. They don't take kindly to cartoons of their beloved prophet, so expect them to bring their "A" game when their opponents bring out the MOHAMMED WAS A PEDOPHILE signs.

Folks, this will be an EPIC battle. Think "Thunderdome" with monster trucks. Think "Battle of the Bands" with Kiss (in full makeup) and Tenacious D facing off in a ROCKOFF! Think "Snakes on a Plane"...............

Oh wait. Don't.

This is Fred's chance to stand up and make himself into a Holy Martyr for the Cause, and I for one hope he takes FULL advantage of the opportunity.

Of course, the downside to Fred becoming a martyr would be the whole death thing, plus upon his arrival at the Pearly Gates he might be just a wee bit shocked to find that the authority on whether or not to allow him to enter has been temporarily delegated to ............ Freddy Mercury.

(Oh, that Jehovah. He LOVES a good prank.)

My only fear is that these two groups will start talking and realize that they have a common enemy: America. Sort of reminiscent of the old advertising campaign from the 70's.

H/T to Instapundit (where I saw this first) and Gateway Pundit (originator).
