The plate in question reads “FMUSLMS.” Soon after media reports appeared on the plates, a Department of Public Safety spokesman said they would be removed immediately.
Gov. Mark Dayton also issued a statement saying he was appalled by the plates and that the owner should be ashamed.
The plates were approved in June 2015.
The Department of Public Safety screens custom requests and issues license plates. Spokesman Bruce Gordon says the department will look into how it missed the offensive request.
Department records show the request was approved in Foley, a small town in central Minnesota.
What happened to free speech ? OH yeah, in the land of Obama, muslim sensitivities comes first….and also when it comes to allowing in possible terrorists to immigrate….
They’re doing the guy a favor, otherwise he’ll wake to find his head in the bed next to him
Anyone surprised it is on a pickup truck?
Ignorance of the Constitution and our laws is absolutely breathtaking on this site. Freedom of speech, as Constitutionally granted, does not mean that speech is necessarily unregulated. One does not have the right to barge into your shul during Kol Nidre and start reading obscene books out loud from the bimah. One does not have the right to scream fire in a movie theatre. One does have the right to be an ignorant bigot, as many of you appear to be, and you do have the right to show off your hatred and ignorance to the world, but not in a way that is obscene or that would provoke violence. This is how freedom of speech works.
