Read the latest on San Francisco's pro-jihad ad policy on its transit systems. The disclaimer that San Francisco Muni ran next to my ads was clearly anti-semitic and sharia-compliant. My counter ad (above) to their disclaimer ad (below) has still not been approved to run. The delay is telling. San Fran Muni had their disclaimer ad up the day after they submitted it. If San Francisco Muni rejects my ad, we will file a first amendment lawsuit immediately.
Really? Were the Nazis savages? The Taliban? Hamas? Al Qaeda? Boko Haram?
"Shariah is here: Disclaimer sticks up for savages" WND, August 22, 2012

Exclusive: Pamela Geller covers latest blowback from anti-jihad ads in transit systems
Two counter-jihad ads my organization, the American Freedom Defense
Initiative (AFDI), began running last week in New York and San Francisco
are causing quite a stir. Dhimmi public officials and media are falling
all over themselves in furious efforts to enforce the restrictions on
free speech the Shariah prescribes.In New York, the ads are running in Metro-North stations just north
of New York City, as well as in the Bronx. They say, “*19,250 deadly
Islamic attacks since 9/11/01. *And counting. It’s not Islamophobia,
it’s Islamorealism.”Greenburgh, N.Y., Town Supervisor Paul Feiner wants Metro-North to
warn passengers that the ads could be upsetting and don’t represent
Metro-North’s views or those of the community. And Peter Swiderski, the
mayor of Hastings-on-Hudson, sent a letter to the entire village asking
people to write to the MTA to express “dismay” over our ads. Our ads are
statements of fact. There have been, as of this writing, over 19,460
deadly Islamic attacks since 9/11. How is it “Islamophobic” to point
that out?Why didn’t Feiner or Swiderski react as viscerally when the same
kiosks had vicious blood libels posted about Israel? They are apparently
OK with anti-Jewish ads. Their bias is showing.Feiner said, “[Muslims] should not be discriminated against. The
posters encourage hatred, discrimination and do not help the efforts to
fight hate crimes.” Feiner implies that all Muslims support jihad.
Sounds as if Feiner is painting all Muslims with the same brush. How
“Islamophobic.” It is “Islamophobic” and a real attempt to paint all
Muslims as jihadists to suggest that all Muslims would oppose attempts
to rein in the jihadists.There are signs all over NYC transit that read, “If you see
something, say something.” Are those “Islamophobic,” too? Do the dhimmi
tools think they also should be removed?Meanwhile, NBC News reporter Jonathan Vigliotti actually told me that
the fact that the ad mentioned 9/11 was “hateful.” I said, what could
be more hateful than the largest and bloodiest attack on American soil
in U.S. history? We are supposed to scrub that from our history books
now? We can’t say “9/11″ because that offends Muslims, too? Needless to
say, that exchange didn’t make it on the air. As a matter of fact, as is
characteristic of mainstream media reporting, little of what I said
made it into his report.The Wall Street Journal wrote that our ad “associates Islam with
19,250 terrorist attacks carried out by extremists since the 9/11.” Uh,
no. I didn’t associate Islam with those terror attacks. The jihadists
screaming “Allahu akbar” and citing Quran chapter and verse were
associating Islam with those terror attacks. How knuckleheaded can the
WSJ be?It’s also interesting that the media went to the Anti-Defamation
League for comment on my ads. No one takes the ADL seriously. Abe Foxman
is an embarrassment to our community (he still refuses to call the
murder of millions in the Armenian genocide a “genocide”). The ADL’s
mission is now to attack Jews and run interference for anti-Semites. I
equate the media going to the ADL for comment with the media going to
Hamas-linked AIR for comment. Neither represents the people they claim
to represent.After all, why was there no comparable brouhaha when two vicious
anti-Israel ads ran – nothing like the reaction there has been over a
statement of real fact? There was no concern in the media about “hate
speech” and incitement to violence against Jews by those dishonest
messages. The actual story here is the systemic and institutionalized
bias in the media.In San Francisco, our ads say, “In any war between the civilized man
and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat
jihad.”Scott Goldstein, President of Titan Transit advertising, called me Friday. Titan handles the outdoor ads for San Francisco Muni and BART.
In an unprecedented move, the city of San Francisco is placing ads
right next to every one of our pro-Israel ads on San Francisco Muni
buses, saying (according to ABC 7 San Francisco) “Muni condemns statements that describe any group as savages.”This is unprecedented in the history of outdoor advertising. This is
the manifestation of Shariah in Western society. Any war on innocent
civilians is savage. They are reading into my ad the idea that “all
Muslims” or “all Arabs” want to destroy Israel. That is nowhere in my
message. They are the Islamophobes and racists.The rush to assure the world that the “Palestinian” jihadists are not
savages amazes me. The war on Israel is a war on innocent civilians.
The targeting of civilians is savage. The relentless 60-year campaign of
terror against the Jewish people is savage. The torture of hostage
Gilad Shalit was savage. The bloody hacking to death of the Fogel family
was savage. The Munich Olympic massacre was savage. The unspeakable
torture of Ehud Goldwasser was savage. The tens of thousands of rockets
fired from Gaza into southern Israel (into schools, homes, etc.) are
savage. The vicious Jew-hatred behind this genocide is savage. The
endless demonization of the Jewish people in the Palestinian and Arab
media is savage. The refusal to recognize the state of Israel as a
Jewish state is savage. The list is endless.But what galls me here again are the scores of anti-Israel ads that
ran in San Francisco without a disclaimer. Why didn’t they have a
problem with the anti-Jewish ads? Why did they not run this disclaimer
next to those ads? That silence is sanction and tacit approval.
Institutionalized anti-Semitism. Who cares if Muni approves the message
or not? It is not their job to agree or disagree.The truth is not offensive. The millions slaughtered in jihad – that is offensive to free men.
Read the whole thing.

Why do they inspect luggage and use a metal detector at the airport? Why do they inspect packages when one enters the Hayden Planetarium in New York? Why do they inspect packages and use a metal detector New York’s Holocaust Museum or the National Archives and US Congress (general tour) in Washington, DC? Are they concerned about Swedish grandmothers, Amish teenagers and orthodox yeshiva students possibly bringing bombs and weapons into these buildings? Who has raised they security concerns and why? Why do we have a Homeland Security Dept. instituted after 9/11/01? What savage act occurred on that date that caused the US to increase security in many ways?

You’ve torn back the curtain of ignorance with these ads, and it’s not a pretty sight.
Not that many people are arguing over the facts, but just to be clear because I saw a critical comment over at Huffington, by “Islamic attacks” you mean attacks done under fatwa by an Islamic cleric and/or done in the name of Allah? It’s not just a matter of somebody who happens to be a Muslim engaging in a violent act.
For instance, in 2010 there were about 16,800 murders in the US which is about 80% Christian. Obviously they would not be called Christian attacks because they were not done in the name of Christ or for Christianity.

Math mistake — 2010 pop. of US was 308.7 million so number of murders would be 14,817.
I’m looking at the other side of the argument which is that by and large the Muslim community of the US are law abiding peaceful people. I can see where it is unfortunate to accuse them of being violent unless they have a greater number of murders, etc.
Clearly we live in a violent society with murders, rapes, robberies. But we don’t have religious groups murdering each other and blowing up each others churches. So that is a difference.

Pamela,
I would like to see this advertisement rolling on busses soon:
Number of Terrorist Attacks in the Name of Allah:
(Insert number here).
-End Ad-
Objective numerical statistics. They can take their Political Correctness, and shove it up their asses!

There is only one effective weapon against Islamofascism: the truth. The plain truth is the Achillesheel of Islam. That’s why they hate it so much and go wild when confronted with it. It’s also a very effective way to expose apologists and traitors.
Therefore we need to keep pounding them with facts, facts, and more facts. The more blunt and direct to-the-point the better.

On my recent trip to San Francisco, I was repulsed by the people there and will never go back. The place is the world turned on its head. It is so liberal that the minorities terrorized the majority. The Golden Gate is unsafe for pedestrians due to the preference they give to cyclists. The coastal parks are unsafe to pedestrians as they are over-run with unleased dogs being walked by professional dog walkers who are not required to keep them on a leash. Our cable car ride was interupted for an unspecified period of time because Barry was in town, and the Metro workers were instructed to lie to us about the reason. The mechanical problem, was nothing of the sort, we found out from a worker, it was to give Our Emperor unrestricted access to the streets when he wanted to take a drive. I suggest that every one boycott San Francisico and urge everyone they know to do the same. San Francisco relies heavily on tourism. Talk with your wallet.

Actually, InfidelForLife, the truth is NOT the ONLY effective weapon against Islam & Islamofascism. Navy Seals are a quite effective weapon, as are guns, bullets, tanks, artillery, helicopters, bombs, cluster bombs, big elfin cluster bombs, etc. The truth is,, however, necessary to fight the ‘propaganda war.’
What annoys me is when an artificial distinction is drawn between Muslims and ‘Islamofascism.’ To me, that’s like drawing a distinction between ordinary card-carrying Nazi party members and the SS. The SS is merely the fighting arm of the Nazis, whereas Jihad and Jihadi’s are merely the fighting arm of Islam. Just as Nazi doctrine inevitably led to the segregation, humiliation, dehumanization and ultimately the murder and slaughter of 6 million Jews, the religion of Islam’s goal is the same. Pretending that there is some sort of distinction between ‘peaceful Muslims’ and Mohammed Mehra is the same as pretending that the average Nazi party member should not be criticized or treated as the enemy.

Whatever happened to the ‘City by the Sea’immortalized by Tony Bennett in the 1960’s?
Looks like the the heart he left in San Francisco needs a transplant! Joking apart, this is a very sad sign of the bad times we are living in.

The Hastings-on-Hudson train station advertisement frame where Pamela’s ad was ripped down has been vandalized with the following:
Muslim communities have prevented 2 out of 5 terrorist attacks since 9/11, and 1 out of 2 since 2009. All religious texts contain violence, especially the Bible.
The loudest voices for tolerance are indeed the most intolerant of all.

Pamela, thank goodness for people like you. If it were not for your unending effort to bring out the truth about Islam, then it would still be hidden like a disease not yet ready to strike.
Good job. There are millions of us who support you. At least I do.

Show the video of the “Savages/Muslims/Islamics” who are CUTTING off the head of a man who had converted to Christianity, and then TELL US NOT TO USE THE TERM-SAVAGES.
These so called ‘religion of peace’ CULTS, who do NOT want Christians any where in the world, are attacking them,and this barbaric video shows it. Obama has NOT spoken
out against this savagery, NOR has he spoken out on the Christians being killed by HIS MUSLIM BRETHERN. Is he HIDING what his fellow Muslims are doing? OR, is he MORE
interested in turning his back on Israel, that incidentally, I have NOT SEEN ONE VIDEO OF THEM, CUTTING OFF SOMESONE’S HEAD.
The Video is Very Graphic, but you can see it for yourselves, and perhaps send it to your family and friends, who think like Obama, “The CAll to prayer, is the sweetest sound in the world”………..really? HE AND THE WORLD NEEDS TO SEE THIS:

What else can you expect? The PC types, with their “moral equivalency” believe that you mustn’t disparage any, not even the most vile killers and rapists. Unless they are Jews or TeaPartyers. And lets not forget: Jews and TeaParty people are not likely to resort to violence and terrorism. Muslims do so in great numbers, reviling in the killing of women and children. As just occured in Kenya.

You commit an error. I can defend the position. Write to me in PM.
By the way, what do you think about this icon site?
