Chicago Tribune: “‘#MyJihad’ campaign hits Chicago buses, along with opposition — After [Hamas]CAIR launches ads, AFDI asks CTA to OK different message”

Myjihad OBLchicago3
CAIR's Chicago executive supremacist, Ahmed Rehab, whined, "Geller's attempt to hijack the 'MyJihad' slogan amounts to
fraud."

Actually CAIR's whole campaign is a complete fraud. Don't take my word for it. Listen to what devout Muslim groups are saying about this ruse:

#MyJihad campaign
ain't jihad, says Hizb ut Tahrir: "If this is Jihad – what Jihad were
the Muslims doing under Rasul'Allah [Muhammad]" (thanks to Jihadwatch)

Story continues below advertisement

Hizb ut Tahrir is an organization of Islamic supremacists around the
world, dedicated to imposing Sharia. Apparently they didn't get the memo
about how the witless unbelievers need to be deceived about the nature
and meaning of jihad, and so they're taking issue with Ahmed Rehab and his cosmetics. Blazing Cat Fur has the link to the HuT forum:
There seems to be a new push by western Muslims, pushed to
counter "extremists" and those that may have been contaminated by
"moderate Islam" to reclaim "Jihad". They will be using tools such as
social media -"facebook/twitter" – how influential are they in the
battle of ideas for the west. Other methods will include advertisements
and posters/billboards….

The notorious Islamic shill Manya Brachear over at the Chicago Tribune reports on the story. She slobbers and drools like a Saint Bernard. She enthusiastically prints every Rehab lie without ever mentioning Hamas-CAIR's unindicted co-conspirator status in the largest terrorist funding trial in our nation's history, the arrest and convictions of their leadership on terror related charges, or their Muslim Brotherhood designation. Good doggie.

I am freedom; it's why CAIR so despises me. And I call them out on endless stream of lies. And more lies.

'MyJihad' campaign hits Chicago buses, along with opposition" Chicago Tribune

After Council on American-Islamic Relations launches ads, American Freedom Defense Initiative asks CTA to OK different message

Chicago buses have become a battleground for two groups promoting different definitions of jihad.

This past weekend, the Council on American-Islamic Relations launched
"MyJihad," a national ad campaign featuring individuals' testimonies
about what the pillar of Islam means to them.

But on Monday, the American Freedom Defense Initiative, or AFDI,
asked the CTA to accept another batch of ads, featuring mock testimonies
from high-profile Muslim extremists, including Osama bin Laden.

The campaign is the second
one launched by the initiative, which rolled out a controversial series
of bus posters last month urging passengers to "Defeat jihad."

"The MyJihad campaign is about reclaiming jihad from the Muslim and
anti-Muslim extremists who ironically, but not surprisingly, see eye to
eye on jihad," said Ahmed Rehab, executive director of the Chicago
chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, also known as
CAIR. Rehab also created the slogan.

The people behind the AFDI initiative have become the "premiere promoters of extremism and violence," he said.

Pamela Geller, executive director of AFDI, said the fact that some
Muslims consider jihad a peaceful concept does not cancel out the fact
that there are others who interpret it violently.

"This usage of jihad is much more influential and widespread among
Muslims worldwide than the benign and whitewashed understanding of it"
presented in the ad campaign, Geller said.

Brian Steele, a spokesman for the CTA, said the second AFDI campaign
is under review. The first CAIR and AFDI campaigns cost $5,000 each, he
said. Geller said the second campaign will cost less than $10,000. She
expects it to start in January.

Rehab said Geller's attempt to hijack the "MyJihad" slogan amounts to
fraud. He said CAIR's campaign includes ads on buses and trains, as
well as a social media component on Twitter, where users are asked to
tweet their testimony with the #MyJihad hashtag.

He added that the campaign has evolved into an interfaith effort,
including Muslim mothers who are concerned that their children will be
bullied, as well as Jews and Christians.

"We have been overwhelmed with the participation of people of other
faiths tweeting their struggles," campaign volunteer and Naperville mom
Angie Emara said in a statement. "People of different backgrounds are
finding a common language. They're learning to see themselves in one
another as they share similar expressions of their daily jihad."

Yes, Americans and other freedom loving peoples have been overwhelmed by ….jihad.

The only common language we should have is that islam is pure evil.
Translating the evil words of islam to English just gives the evil a sense of infiltration, never use any of their words, just describe their evil meanings suchas Muslim men have the right to have sex with infants, and they have a word for it which they consider a legitimate word, their words are so disgusting that I do not want my descendants to ever have to get accustomed to them. I want my generation to put a stop to this infiltration of evil islam into North America.
Every mosk on our soil must be dismantled, and only a few queerans should be kept here , only as proof of what islam is; pure evil.
islam is anti- Christ and we must declare all out war on every piece of snot that follows a vow to kill anyone who does not convert to the evil islam. islam is death.

Pamela, you should do this Quranic quote;
Quran 5:51 “O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people”.
This would show people what Islam thinks about Christians and Jewish people.

That any American could be taken in by CAIR’s campaign to whitewash Islam is absolutely shocking. Are we so dumbed-down, are we so indoctrinated and complacent, that we as a nation would not respond to this as the evil it is? Pamela Gellar truly is heroic. The mass media and the Islamists have been slandering and harassing her for a decade now and she keeps fighting, for all of us and for the preservation of civilization. How any American could perceive her as the extremist is confounding! Thank you, Pamela Gellar. I hope and pray that more and more people wake from the evil spell that has been cast on this country, and join you in this life-and-death struggle.

Love Pamelas “my Jihad” ad!
See thats the thing, Muslims are so unfree, it negatively effects their ability to be creative.
Not us, we are free ppl and we are able to think freely and with that we a gtrea atvantage in that “ad war”. Whatever the muslims come up with, we can use it for the truth.
Love you, Pamela.

Oh my gosh, Pamela, Ahmed Rehab standing up as the arbiter of morals and virtue? Give me a break. Perhaps we should all pool our money and send him a dictionary; he has no idea what the word fraud means.
I’m sorry but every time his name is mentioned I get that awful picture in my head of him shirtless with the blue sunglasses and the pink lipstick and I find it impossible to take him seriously.

Chicago Tribune “Lah, lah, lah, we can’t hear you!”
Their Jihad denial makes them feel safe and protected.
That, and there are gobs of money in complaisance and conformity.
