Gary, I could quote 'a Christian' as saying it's acceptable to shoot and kill doctors outside abortion clinics where "preborn children’s lives [are] in imminent danger."

You can always find an individual nut-job rent-a-quote. It doesn't mean that the intelligent thing to do is to treat their words as mainstream and significant, just because they happen to fit your personal prejudice.

You have no justification for claiming there's a doubt about the acceptability of putting a poppy on a Mosque, just because you managed to dig up a quote by someone who asserts it.
