====Islam====
The WBC are staunchly [[Islamophobia|Islamophobic]] and support the practice of [[Quran Burning]].<ref>[https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Society/2010/0910/Florida-church-may-not-burn-Qurans-but-Kansas-church-says-it-will Florida church may not burn Qurans, but Kansas church says it will], ''The Christian Science Monitor''</ref> In response to a ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsweek Newsweek]'' article alleging that American soldiers flushed copies of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qur%27an Qur'an] down the toilet at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_X-Ray Camp X-Ray] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guantanamo_Bay_detainment_camp Guantanamo Bay], Fred Phelps released this statement: 
So what if our guys flushed copies of the Quran down the toilet? We hope they did. They probably did; We hope they flush more. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed Mohammed] was a demon-possessed whoremonger and pedophile who contrived a 300-page work of Satanic fiction: The Quran! Like America's own whoremonger and pedophile wangled his own hokey [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Mormon Book of Mormon]!In relation to the [[Iraq War]], a WBC flyer says "America bombed our church with an IED made by fag students... In His retaliatory rage God is killing Americans with Muslim IEDs: 'Saying, Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm.' 1 Chron 16:22."

In the 2011 documentary ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America%27s_Most_Hated_Family_in_Crisis America's Most Hated Family in Crisis]'' by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Theroux Louis Theroux], Jael Phelps explained in an interview that herself and the other members of the WBC tauntingly and publicly [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quran_desecration burned] a copy of the Quran while being scolded by a Muslim man, calling it an "idolatrous piece of trash" and that they were giving it the "proper respect that it deserves" by doing so. They picketed the funeral of the Muslim man's wife the following week. Jael Phelps stated that the wife's death was partly due to her Muslim husband having spoken out against the WBC, and therefore rejecting God and bringing His "righteous judgement" down upon him. She also commented that "all those angry little Muslims can just shut their mouths."

Ironically, despite their Islamophobia, WBC have shown support for the [[September 11 attacks]] as well as [[Saddam Hussein]]'s government during his rule of Iraq.
