Not politically correct, but hell, guns in generally aren't politically correct either.

I always though 'PC' meant 'Probably Confused'.
Religion isn't always a personal choice, Ganderite. Islam was spread by means every bit as ugly, even uglier, than early Christianity: when Olaf Tryggvason became King in Norway (995), everyone who did not convert to Christianity was killed, according to the saga account.
Many people converted originally out of sheer terror and their descendants today just follow what their parents taught them.
Islam CAN be a religion of peace; it's the crackpots who are making it into something else, same as 'militant Christianity' is something to fear if you happen to worship Odin and Thor, or Bast the pussycat-goddess (who was also the Divine Avenger, come to think of it).
Problem with religion is that it gets all mixed up with politics and turns into something which its Founders did not want, be they Moses (remember the Canaanite massacres in the Bible?) or Gautama the Buddha or Jesus the Nazarene or whoever. Look at Protestant Christianity: 30 years of open warfare.... on behalf of peace.
Militant Judaism, Militant Christianity, Militant Buddhism, Militant Zoroastrianism, Militant Catholicism, Militant Protestantism, Militant Communism, Militant National Socialism, all are equally abhorrent in my book. Live and let live.
Thus endeth the rant.
But it IS funny as all get-out.
I want one that says PREPARE TO MEET THY MAKER in nice Gothic script. Figure that will get the message across without hurting anyone's feelings!
And that's the part that I don't understand: it's okay to kill them.... just don't hurt their feelings while they're shooting at you.

....fixed that for ya
I don't follow any religion, and I find that offensive based on the fact it generalizes and stereotypes muslims as the only people you're shooting at. So much for being the "good guys" and fighting terrorism; with arrogance like that you're no better than the guy that wants to lop your head off.
Isn't Politically Correct an oxy-moron to start with??!!
I see nothing wrong with this. Did anyone get offended when the bomber crews chalked their bombs before they got dropped over Germany, or even in the last First Gulf War?
That is simply freedom of expression, and that's one of the fundamental values that our military has always fought for, and died for over the last 70 years.

Who cares if it is PC? I love the idea! If I made every decision or purchase in my life based on PC or not offending anyone then I am clearly not making free will choices and might as well be living under the boot of tyranny.....oh wait, I live in Canada so I'm half way there.....
Me too. Some of us around here are Redneck Protestants and the other ones are Cowboy Catholics. God bless diversity.

+1 and also tacky i find writing/text that isn't originality on guns to be lame. Are there any anti-Semitic ones, or are we just targeting Muslims/Arabic and homosexuals with our AR-15's in Canada.

It may be bad taste but religion itself is not racist generally speaking, so i don't see how you can draw that conclusion.
A Christian/Muslim /Judaism/Hindu can be of any race, so i don't see how any of these can be seen as racist!
Secondly using the "This is racist" blur is just simply used for others personal gain or a particular groups easy way out of debate, it impeaches on freedom of speech..
We are in a free country, or suppose to be, actually we are very socialist, but there is no reason to back up anymore, why pander to PC anymore, we have nothing to gain.
Personally the one that says "send them to Allah" well it means as it's written, they believe they are fighting for Allah=God in English.
