The accompanying NBC article is pathetic (here) — it could have been written by the blind sheikh. Hamas in America (CAIR) is in the subheadline, no mention of their Hamas ties, their role in the largest terror funding trial in US history, or their status as unindicted co-conspirator.
Subway Stations to Display Controversial "Jihad" Ad NBC
New York's Council on American-Islamic Relations called the ad an attempt to "define Muslims'' through hate speech
Story continues below advertisementTransit officials say an ad initially rejected for
its "demeaning'' language is expected to appear at 10 subway stations
next week.Metropolitan Transportation Authority spokesman Aaron Donovan told The New York Times "Our hands are tied.''
A Manhattan federal court judge ruled
in July that the MTA violated the First Amendment rights of the group
seeking to place the ad, The American Freedom Defense Initiative.The ad states "In any war between the
civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man.'' It adds,
"Support Israel. Defeat Jihad,'' in between two Stars of David.Pamela Geller of the American Freedom
Defensive Initiative doesn't think the poster will provoke opposition
after last week's deadly assault on the US Consulate in Libya and
following days of protests in the Middle East."How have world conditions changed?" she asked. "When is a good time?"
Muneer Awad of the Council of
American-Islamic Relations said the ads use an offensive buzzword to
"promote bigotry in New York." "They're not only anti-Muslim,
they're offensive to a large number of people, especially people who
know the history of the word 'savages,'" he said."These ads are about nothing more than making money off of fear," Awad added.
Geller denies the ads were sweeping Muslims with a broad brush. "There are no Muslims in my ad," she said. "There is no Islam in my ad."
Donovan said the MTA might consider revising its ad policy at its board meeting next week.
Commuters were divided on the poster. "That's pretty bad," said Louis Gritsipis. "Ads like this have no place in the subway system."
Another woman said she had "no objection": "It's freedom of speech, right?"

Give ’em hell Pamela.
Islamic jihad is savage, and kudos for us all to expose this fact.
The MSM is evil if it allows CAIR off the hook especially in light of the acts of war on Us ambassador on 9/11 and many other acts of Muslim Savagery.

Pamela, you are awesome! It’s frustrating defending what people should realize is a righteous position. I don’t know how you can stay in there day in & day out – you’re an inspiration and a true hero! Thank you!

It’s much more than freedom of speech: It’s an actual truly patriotic attempt to wake us up to the existential threat that is living among us and lying to us about it every day.
The guy who thinks it’s “pretty bad” is one of those who is so open-minded his brains have fallen out.

Pamela,
If I was a woman and someone asked “why are you provoking an opposition [sic], just one week after a deadly attack on Americans…” as the idiot asked you I would throw it right back at him: “What are you saying ? Who am I provoking ? Are you saying I should wear a hijab so I don’t get raped ?”

NO, no, they’re not savage. It’s normal in the year 2012, when most human beings should be living in a civilized society at least by now, to destroy by fire buildings and whole city blocks, rampage and destroy infrastructure and private property, burn flags, hang presidents in effigy,kill and sodemzie a fellow human being, an American diplomat, and drag his body through the streets. It’s all NORMAL, why would anyone say that behavior is savage? WHY? I don’t get it, I honestly don’t.

After the mo movie, and savagery of Islamists shouting “Allahu Akbar” as they dragged the body of US Ambassador accross the streets, any sane person can equate Islamist jihad with Savagery.
And yet the moral confusion of secular liberals is rampant, even now as I hear them shilling in confusion at work, at the universities and in the enemedia.

Liked the woman’s comment about the ad being a right — freedom of speech — sounds like she’s an American to me. The guy who said the ad should be forbidden is just a cowardly loser putz, probably from the UWS of Manhattan who overdoses on the local delicatessens and libertard MSNBC.

It is frustrating trying to convince people what should be obvious. How can the actions of Israel’s enemies be described as anything but savage?
