Wall Street Journal weighs in on our AFDI counter jihad ads UPDATE: CBS News, too

3

The Wall Street Journal writes that our ad "associates Islam with 19,250 terrorist attacks carried out by extremists since the 9/11." Uh, no. I don't associate it. The jihadists screaming "allahu akbar" citing quran chapter and verse are associating it. How knuckleheaded can the WSJ be?

And note the headline. The media calls these ads "anti-Islamic." Obviously they are painting all Muslims with the jihad brush. Nowhere do I refer to all Muslims in any of my ads. But the media does. How islamophobic!

It's also interesting that the media still goes to the ADL for comment. No one takes them seriously. Foxman is an embarrassment to our community (he still refuses to call the millions murdered in the Armenian genocide a "genocide"). Even Joan Rivers gets it. Yesterday she said, "the ADL should worry more about the world's attitude toward Israel than waste time and energy on me."

The ADL's mission is to attack Jews and run interference for antisemites. I equate the media going to the ADL comment with the media going to Hamas-CAIR for comment. Neither represents the people they claim to represent.

"Anti-Islamic ads go up in NY train stations" Wall Street Journal, August 17, 2012

LARCHMONT, N.Y. — An anti-Islamic advertisement has gone up at several Metro-North Railroad stations in Westchester County.

It reads: "It's not Islamophobia, it's Islamorealism."

The American Freedom Defense Initiative paid for it. It associates Islam with 19,250 terrorist attacks carried out by extremists since the 9/11.

The MTA told the Journal News (http://lohud.us/RmdRiw ) it doesn't endorse the ad. But it said it doesn't ban advertising based on content.

Last month pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel ads appeared at Metro-North stations.

MTA Chairman and CEO Joseph Lhota said the agency may discuss its policies on political ads in September.

The Defense Initiative is led by blogger and political activist Pamela Geller. She said its message is it's not "'Islamophobic' to oppose jihad terror."

The Anti-Defamation League said to condemn the entire faith is unwarranted.

Who cares what the ADL says? They're a joke.

 UPDATE: CBS is on it, here.

Excellent piece.
What the ADL, SPLC, and others of their ilk don’t seem to get is that they are despised by the great majority of Americans who are familiar with them. The hatred is intense in some cases. The reason is because of their extreme Leftist positions. They have little idea of how vast the numbers are of people who oppose them.
The ADL in particular is a dangerous organization for American Jews. Yeah, you heard me right,DANGEROUS. Why? Because they associate all of us as being as maniacally Leftist as they are. This group of extremists do not speak for me and I highly resent having to either deny my Jewishness or explain how I disagree with their warped views. It has gotten to the point now where I am that a typical person upon learning that I’m Jewish instantly associates me with the American Civil Liberties Union, American Atheist Association, Man Boy Love Association, New Black Panther Party, Youth for Communism, Democratic Party, La Raza, Trans Gender Local 354, Jews for Islam, Karl Marx Fan Club, World Without Borders Inc., and on and on….
Believe it or not folks, some of us actually have our heads screwed on straight but you would never know that if the ADL had their way.
Study after study has shown that the great majority of Americans are just right of center in their political beliefs. The ADL is so far to the Left that a new category is needed to describe them.
They couldn’t be anything other than against the ad campaign.
