HATE CHURCH: MANDELA IN HELL

The notoriously anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church says that Nelson Mandela is in hell and that it plans to picket his funeral.
The radical Kansas-based church stated on Twitter that it was booking flights to South Africa, tweeting: “Pres. Zuma: Nelson Mandela’s funeral Dec 15. Set up our picket spot, Mr.President! #Warn S Africa”.
It went on to say: “Could we pls be put in contact with law enforcement to be present at Mandela’s funeral to make arrangements for a demonstration?”
The protest threat was not welcomed by South Africans. Krishna Sarjoo (@Krishna_sarjoo) responded: “Yes yes come to our country and curse our Mandela!! We will show you what hell is!!”
Michelle Solomon (@mishsolomon) added: “Fat chance. We don’t allow hate speech, and you’re bound to incite violence. This isn’t America, dears.”
We have our doubts that the church will actually make it to South Africa for the funeral, which will be held in rural Qunu in the Eastern Cape on Sunday.
The church, however, went on to further outrage Twitter users by posting a series of inflammatory comments, including: “Thank God for killing Nelson Mandela, dropping him into an eternity of torment for his blasphemous unrepentant sins.”
A typical Westboro Baptist Church protest
It said that Mandela “Lived/died in adultery & glorified himself, teaching the world sin”.
The Church also called international mourning and media attention around Mandela’s death “idol worship”.
The Westboro Baptist Church, run by Fred Phelps and his family, is known for its virulently anti-gay campaigns asserting that “God hates fags”, protesting at gay friendly events and even demonstrating at funerals of US soldiers who were killed in action.
It previously described Cape Town as being “fag-infested” and said that “South Africa has become Sodom”.
Last year, Advocate magazine named Phelps one the 45 worst homophobes in the world.

They just idiots looking for attention.
Ignore them and you will not hear from them.
They will never set foot in SA.
If they do show up it will be interesting to see what will happen to them.
Pierre – ek glo nie dat ENIGIEMAND sal weet wat met hulle sal gebeur nie … OF omgee nie
They are more than welcome to set foot in South Africa – and suffer the consequences. One thing us South Africans do not tolerate is hate speech against our beloved Nelson Mandela. Be warned you bunch of self proclaimed idiots, this is our country and believe me, you will so sorted out. Best stay away for your own good. Actually it would be quite fun to see (and watch on international television) what this rainbow nation will do to teach you imbeciles a lesson. You are an embarrassment to yourselves as well as America.
I HOPE they make it out this way …
They will learn respect overnight. They will learn NOT to tread on what we hold dear …
PS pastor – don’t buy a return ticket. TIA. It’ll be a waste of a flight.
If they ever set foot in this country it’s a guarantee that they wont leave alive these people have to be set straight maybe fighting fire with fire is all that will get them to stop the bullsh*t.
Too, too funny they are. So the good Lord ‘killed’ Madiba at age 95 – wow wonder what happens when he’s just annoyed, you live to 125. Silly people with not much going on for them. Bless their hearts.
I think they are trying to subotage this..they clearly seek attentuon in all ways..have they seen Hell? No…how can a “Church” judge so much..clearly they are Using onother form of a bible coz the one we use says we shouldn’t judge…..Thank Uu_
How can someone hold up a poster of “God hates you” – when God is love? they must have the scriptures upside down but we will pray for them that God and His love in Christ Jesus be revealed to them. They obviously have suffered some kind of rejection and turn their anger on everyone and anything – LORD have mercy. I know Jesus to be holding the key to heaven and hell, life and death – so what gives them the right to send anyone to hell? Did they die on the cross and resurrect for them? They better get their “church” thing right as they are spreading the wrong gospel.
