Wall Street Journal: Judge: DC Metro must allow anti-jihad ads

Hooha! Preserving our first amendment rights is big news; that's how bad things have gotten.

"Judge: DC Metro must allow anti-jihad ads" Wall Street Journal

WASHINGTON — A federal judge says the D.C. transit system must allow a pro-Israel ad that equates Muslim radicals with savages.

Story continues below advertisement

U.S. District Judge Rosemary Collyer said in a one-page opinion
Friday that the advertisement must be displayed no later than 5 p.m. on
Monday.

The American Freedom Defense Initiative sued last month for the right
to display the ads in the Metro system. Metro officials had delayed
putting up the ads because of the violent reaction in the Middle East to
the video the "Innocence of Muslims," which denigrated the prophet
Muhammad.

Metro spokesman Dan Stessel says the system will comply with the order and the ads will go up this weekend.

Similar ads were expected to be added Monday along the New York City subway system.

CONGRATULATIONS:
I was going to be there, but my schedule was changed at the last minute. I won’t let that happen again. I am so happy with this verdict. Based on the Judge’s leading questions to their lawyer, I thought that your legal team did not have a chance. But there was precedence in SF and NY that couldn’t be ignored. Great job to your legal team! I was thinking about buying a blue can of spray paint in case I see Mona in the DC area expressing her freedom of speech again. A chance to give her the lost cause case of the blues. 😉

[..Metro officials had delayed putting up the ads because of the violent reaction in the Middle East to the video the “Innocence of Muslims,” which denigrated the prophet Muhammad..] …. This should tell you all you need to know about islam and their effort to dhimmify us. But if your a liberal I guess you will need to get your head sliced off before you change your mind, if even then.

ALRIGHT!!!!! As is should be! We are sick and tired of everybody telling US, CITIZENS of The UNITED STATED OF AMERCA, what we can and cannot say or do! It would have been fine and dandy if the Jihads had posted..KILL CHRISTIANS or whatever they wanted to say! I AM PROUD OF THIS JUDGE!!!!! Let’s all STAND UP and SAVE THIS NATION! I guess National Security would call THIS a hate speech..LOL! WHATEVER…I haven’t threatened or hurt anyone because I AM A CHRISTIAN and we pray for folks instead of cutting off their heads. Can Jihad say the same?

An Answer to the Muslim riots, a MUST Watch.
The
Indomitable Englishman, Pat Condell, does it again…doesn’t mince his words
and tells it as it is without fear or hesitation….!

Just watched the Pat Condell video. Loved it!
The savage and ignorant comments by Islamofacists were amusing- they are so stupid and ignorant in contrast to the brevity of Pat Condell!

The Crescent News Network reports this morning that some kind of lame counter ads supporting Islam and “Inter-Faith Love” are planned for some subway station. We’ll see what kind of force this most disgraceful effort at existential appeasement can muster.
There’s such a huge and glaring counter-intuition in these phony platitudes, I’m guessing it’ll be nearly zero.

Yes I saw the news about those silly inter-faith love posters! Please!
I have visions of freedom-loving people standing beside them, holding mini posters of Pamela’s anti-jihad ads, sarcastically singing Kumbaya.
These islamo-huggers have a classic case of Stockholm syndrome.

My thoughts, exactly.
I see Atlas Shrugs reported this yesterday in the post containing quotes from 12th Century Jewish philosopher Maimomides: “They oppress us with the most oppressive measures, to lessen our number, reduce us, and make us as despicable as they themselves are.”
Not much has changed in eight centuries, has it?
This is the most powerful truth about all the problems with Islam and the thing so many, like the Sojourners, refuse to understand.

You will never forgive and apologize your way free of this bitterness and envy that is the seed, root and branch of Islam.

Pamela: this is great news. Congratulations and my sincere thanks for your marvelous and courageous dedication. Victories like this are sporadic but give us hope that we may yet lay Islam and its ugly civilizational jihad against the west to rest once and for all.

This POS judge has already showed her hand with her comment about hate speech. Hate speech is going to be the method by which the corrupt, amoral scum in our government and judiciary implement islamonazi blasphemy laws. They won’t outlaw criticism of pisslam, they’ll merely term all criticism of pisslam to be hate speech. Hitlary’s closed door meetings w/members of the islamonazi OIC make it clear where her loyalties lie and lie and lie. The zero’s statement that “there must be no future for those who slander the holy prophet of islam” also make it clear where his loyalties lie. In both cases, the US Constitution isn’t a factor.
