After word that the Westboro Baptist Church threatened to protest Robin Williams's funeral, Australian comedian Adam Hills, host of "The Last Leg," offered last week to send the group to Iraq to protest the ISIS terrorists attack on Christians.

Hill said, "If you really believe in standing up to those threatening the Christian way of life how about putting your money where your mouth is, taking a direct flight to Iraq and picketing the people threatening to behead Christians if they don't convert?"

Hills continued with a pledge, "I will personally pay for every member of the Westboro Baptist Church to fly to Iraq right now, I'll even fly you first class and pay the carbon offset."

The Church responded via it's Twitter account saying, "Show us plane tickets!" and ".@adamhillscomedy Cough up the tickets, funny man! We got our bags packed! Iraq needs some preaching! cc: @TheLastLeg "

Hill responded on Twitter saying, "Oh it's a deal! Full details 10pm this Friday Channel 4. RT @WBCSays: Plane tickets or hush! @TheLastLeg http://youtu.be/60ETdhgLA8U"
