The Westboro Baptists Church is classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The group has gained notoriety in recent years for staging remarkably cruel protests at high-profile events and funerals, waving signs that read "God Hates Fags" and blaming every tragedy they encounter on America's perceived endorsement of "sinful" (read: LGBTQ) lifestyles.
Some very ugly people
When Adam Hills heard this group was going to picket Robin Williams funeral he made an offer. In what was likely meant as a throwaway joke, he suggested on his show, The Last Leg, that if WBC members were so bent on preserving the so-called Christian way of life they should take their rallies to Iraq, where IS members have claimed responsibility for "exiling thousands of Iraqi Christians" and others, and "killing those who fail to leave," according to the Advocate.
Hills offered to fly all church members to Iraq where they would meet certain death but later changed his mind and instead donated the flight money to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, a charity Robin Williams actively supported.
