Baptists Picket Funeral of Soldier Killed in Iraq
|
South Holland, Illinois - Members of the Westboro Baptist Church from Topeka, Kansas picket the funeral of Marine Lance Cpl. Philip J. Martini, who was killed in Iraq, at Holy Ghost Catholic Church. The group is led by Pastor Fred Phelps. It maintains that God is killing American soldiers because America accepts homosexuality. Fred Phelps' wife, Margie Phelps, and his grandson, Isaiah Phelps-Roper, 17, picketed a block from the church.
