@NBCChicago gets it completely wrong on AFDI #Myjihad ads #RT

28

Talk about crazy. If NBC Chicago tried to get it more wrong, they could not. They kick off this unintentionally comedic news report saying that
last month
the American Freedom Defense Initiative launched CTA
bus ads that linked Muslims to savages: "the ads included fake testimonies by extremists including Osama Bin Laden."

This weekend the Council on
American Islamic Relations countered
with their own campaign called my
jihad. It promotes jihad as daily struggles, not terror and a naperville mom is featured in one of the ads.

Sheesh, where to begin? First, our #myjihad ads did not run last month. We just submitted them. They haven't even run yet. And our campaign is a response to the Hamas-CAIR taqiyya ad campaign obscuring the true nature of jihad. This "news reporter" states the exact opposite. This numb nuts says that Hamas-CAIR's myjihad ad is in response to our my jihad ad. Got that. And just for the record, every one of our ad campaigns has been in response to some fallacious ad that was running.

Story continues below advertisement

But the most egregious and dangerous misreporting is the lie that our quotes are fake. This outrageous lie was started by the notorious shill for Islamic supremacists, Manya Brachear, over at the Chicago Tribune. 

The quotes are accurate and real. Any moron could do a quick google search and find that out.

They did not get one thing right. Not one. Oh, and we never called Muslims savages, we called jihadis savages. Because they are. Targeting innocent civilians is savagery.

Perhaps if they called for comment instead of running Muslim Brotherhood press releases, they might get the story right. But that is not their goal.

Here's the accompanying article. Go. Leave a comment. Politely ask them to report the news, not make it up. The lengths the enemedia goes through to cover for jihad. The mind reels.

"MyJihad" Ads Land on CTA Buses" NBC Chicago

Chicago's buses have become a battleground for a controversial ad campaign.

A conservative group, American
Freedom Defense Initiative, last month placed ads on buses that likened
Muslims to savages. They included fake testimonials by extremists,
including Osama bin Laden.

In response, the Council on American
Islamic Relations countered with their own campaign, "MyJihad," which
define Jihad as life's daily struggles, not incidents of terror or holy
war.

"Day to day jihad that we do so much
has never been shown before and no wonder, the only side that's shown is
the violence, which is not even in essence real jihad," said Naperville
mother Angie Emara, who is featured on one of the advertisements.

CAIR-Chicago's Executive Director, Ahmed Rehab, said he hopes to spread the campaign to
New York, DC, San Francisco, Houston and Seattle.

The campaign's website is at MyJihad.org.

Here is a letter I just posted to Ms. Rivera at her Channel 5 NBC Chicago website: http://www.nbcchicago.com/traffic/transit/chicago-transit-cta-bus-myjihad-jihad-ads-184045591.html
hellbat44 (signed in using yahoo)
Ms. Rivera,
You could not have gotten it more wrong had you tried!
First, Pamela Geller and her American Freedom Defense Initiative has never “likened Muslims to savages,” as you wrote. She likens jihadists to savages! In fact, Ms. Geller is supportive of all Muslims who do not wage jihad against non-Muslims.
Second, the testimonials in the AFDI ads are not “fake,” as you claim; rather, they are exact quotes!
Third, if you knew anything about Islam, and it is apparent that you do not, the statement by CAIR that, “Jihad is life’s daily struggles, not incidents of terror or holy war,” is only half true and pure propaganda designed to mislead. Jihad does, in fact, include terror and holy war against the non-Muslims. CAIRS second lie that “”Day to day jihad that we do so much has never been shown before and no wonder, the only side that’s shown is the violence, which is not even in essence real jihad,” said Naperville mother Angie Emara, who is featured on one of the advertisements,” is also patently false and misleading as well.
And finally, for you to run your article with so many inaccuracies is shocking and extremely poor journalism. You should be embarrassed and ashamed for writing such a shoddy piece of liberal propaganda in support of the Islamic anti-American stealth jihad agenda in America. You are nothing more than another one of their “useful idiots” and you should write an apology to Pamela Geller and her AFDI immediately! Get your facts right the next time!

Pamela, you’re losing this fight :/ You need to do like CAIR and think Strategically. You gave them the chance to create more propaganda and get more attention, they are a claimed civil right organization and they are good at this.
If you’d like to win this fight, you need many supporters, you need to set many conferences and public outreach. You need to start creating an office in Chicago, those big states which support human rights and to recruiter interns and open a proper website [hire a freelancer from freelancer.com and create a civil right website] to share your news and details and contact media. You need to stay calm and see CAIR tactics, which is using something negative and portrayed as the most positive thing.
CAIR Chicago did all this and you really need to do the same. Ahmed Rehab isn’t smarter then you and you can do what he did and better.

One more thing, stop insulting President Obama, you won’t get support that way, specially in Chicago. President Obama is a great president and gets all my respect. You need to be smart not emotional.
I don’t support your articles that you write about Pres Obama. I don’t think you will win this fight against CAIR unless you review your tactics and start going into a different direction.
Anger, a blog which talks purely about Muslims, and ads on busses that are really not that meaningful will not be looked at, your ads are not really creative. Want to dive into civil right and politics, start from Egypt and where the Muslim Brotherhood and Salafists do to suppress freedom, to harm secular and insult Christians and look at CAIR and their ties to the MB.
Recruit interns and even modern Arab Christians and Muslims and dive more into politics and civil rights and work with the interns. I don’t think it is hard but it will take some time.
Throwing money on ads on business and later quite because you can’t afford it later, will only give CAIR many chances to rise more and more. Donation, Zakat, Donation Zakat, that is all they do whenever there is a civil right issue.
Speak about radicals, not Muslims in general, what their thoughts and what they want and confront CAIR why they don’t support the democratic process in Egypt and why they are so calm when churches gets burned and innocents get slashed by swords. Go into a debate with them on the news and I am sure you can do much better!

Always think positive. Calm not anger. Fun not frustration. Team work not alone. Communicating not bashing. Press Conferences and public outreached in a positive way in Schools, cities, and more. Don’t drive hatred to the Muslims in general, but confront the radicals, that is what your goal should be. When you do this, you will win this fight.
In many times when you refer to Muslim radicals you also refer to regular Muslims and that is not fair and won’t get you any support specially from college students who wants love, fun and better education, not hatred and fights.
Try your speeches in California or Chicago and see how college students will walk out and not listen to you.

Pam,
To counter the “fake quote” smear you should add link or a screen shot to the Lexis-Nexis source for each ad’s quote to the myjihad.us page.

THE MEANING OF JIHAD
Very clearly explained by I.Q. al-Rassooli in the video link below, with quotes and references. al-Rassooli was born in Iraq. His mother tongue is Arabic. His parents sent him to school to study engineering at a university in England but after graduating, he decided to stay because he discovered that the “programming” he had received at home about other peoples was one-sided and wrong. I.Q. al-Rassooli spent almost 23 years learning as much as he could about Muhammad, the Quran, Hadiths, Arab and Islamic histories, the Arab-Israeli conflict, the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament and more. He says his goal is to completely expose, “…the obscene facts and reality of what the media calls ‘Islam,’ based entirely on the very Arabic sources themselves.” He is the author of the book: Lifting the Veil: The True Faces of Muhammad and Islam.

Symmt al-Delusional: get a grip! You are COMPLETELY wrong. In fact, the entire Western world is waking up from their Islamic sleep. You have no clue what the hell you’re ranting about. Our politicians are waking up, our policy makers are waking up, our general public are waking up. In Canada they are putting a ban on further Muslim immigration. Soon it will be a reality in Australia and Europe too. Obama is a shithead who is losing respect everywhere with everyone, except welfare recipients who can’t even read well enough to grasp how bad his policies are and know twaddle about politics and economics. Obama is leading the U.S. into a war in the Middle East. Only a clueless idiot can declare him to be a “good” president.
Besides, how laughable for you to suggest anyone should hire Muslim interns! You are a sad joke. You don’t even know that Pamela’s biggest supporters are MUSLIMS. Get that? Muslims.
Yeah, go ahead, read it again you ignorant dumbass.

‘But if you hire me and spread a lot of money around and moderate your message and admit the validity of all the savage premises of Islam and progressives like Obama the Magnificent, then you will win by persuading people that you are a moral coward who simply seeks publicity and offers nothing but herself as an alternative to an identical evil.

Who is winning now? Seems to me CAIR. Pamela needs to rethink this and her strategy. I gave her ideas and what CAIR does and that is what you should take as an advice not fight me back you moron TMI.

My challenge to you still stands Symmt, to tell all of us on this blog the many ways in which Obama is a great president and how it is that he earned all your respect.

The thing is, I am not interested in a debate about President Obama, I don’t feed the trolls. I came here to support a specific subject, fighting radical Islam.
I gave Pamela my advice and I disliked her topics about Obama, if she wants to critic Obama, then please don’t complain about the Chicago Media and them mocking your ads, after all that is his home town. You might get attention in Texas but not in Chicago and Illinois unless you change the way you address things.
Liberals aren’t conservatives. People in Chicago live a happy fun life, your ads won’t get much attention here in Chicago. Wrong ads in the wrong place in my opinion, you need to touch the heart if you want to convey your message.

Well, the claim that the bin Laden quote is “fake” is not just “completely wrong” – it’s an outright lie. Took me around 2 minutes to find the actual quote that was in the ad. Assuming that this is the ad that NBC is referring to, here is his actual quote:
“(Q2) As for the second question that we want to answer: What are we calling you to, and what do we want from you?”
(1) The first thing that we are calling you to is Islam.

Such lies from media organisations ought to be actionable. Any lawyers here know if NBC could be brought to justice for slander?

How do you know when a muslim is lying? When their mouth is moving. I found it very telling that that muslim bitch couldn’t stand still when she was lying about Jihad. She couldn’t even say it with a straight face.
The only reason muslims get away with their deception is that these journalists are completely clueless on Islam. This is why thuggish, subversive groups like CAIR get the red-carpet treatment from the gullible dhimmi useful retards.

“In many times when you refer to Muslim radicals you also refer to regular Muslims and that is not fair” – Symmt
There’s no difference between a radical muslims and a ‘regular’ muslim. Both believe in the same ideology, just like there is no such thing as a ‘radical Nazi.’
Now there are muslims who reject the teachings of Islam, but they are not real muslims, more likely they are apostates or infidels.
As for the muslims who think they are peaceful either never studied Islam or completely misunderstand it. In which case they should get their head straightened out and either leave Islam or face the consequences of being a member of the most evil and dangerous death cult in human history.

To Fitna:
Your last two posts are absolutely correct! Apparently, what Symmt also does not understand is that the Kafir concept of “fairness” is not part of the Islamic doctrine. Islam is not based on the Christian Golden Rule, which is where the concept of “fairness” originates. So, Symmt is wanting Pamela Geller to apply the non-Muslim concept of “fairness” to “regular Muslims?” Really?!?!!
By the way Symmt, I’m still waiting for you to enlighten and educate me with give me only one thing that Obama has accomplished that leads you to believe that he qualifies as a great President…so much so that he gets all your respect. I’m still waiting…

Hellbat44,
Thanks and agreed. I should mention however the concept of love for your neighbour (fellow human beings) and ‘do unto others…’ is not uniquely Christian, it exists in practically all cultures/religions except Islam-which believes that muslims should only love each other and hate/eradicate all other people unless they become muslims also.
Symmt is a muslim pretending to be ‘one of us’ while sowing the seeds of guilt/shame, doubt and defeat within our movement for opposing Islam. Like many muslims he seems to think (or maybe it’s just a dodge) that the problem is the radicals and somehow we’ll have eutopia if we only dealt with the bad actors and not the evil ideology of Islam which churns them out. He’s barking up the wrong tree.

Fitna, your name is funny yourself. And that is your first ignorant mistake to say that I am a Muslim. That is ignorant because i am not and i am not going to go into my religion because i don’t feed trolls.
I see myself not having a good debate and solution with smart people but people who are driven by emotional and sever hate and I don’t think that way.
I am christian and I don’t hate Muslims but I despite radicals and those jihadist and their elements needs to be exposed [have i made myself clear?]. But i am not going to say that all Muslims are bad. I went to one press conference made by Israeli teacher in the US and he was screaming and insulting the Arab Spring and saying that the United Nations are all radicals and paid thugs by Muslims and they fight Israel. Among others and calling for support from all the Jewish lawyers and community in term of soft power because hard power is not used anymore. Do you know how everyone looked at him? and what they asked him? “What will you do to address this issue” the professor all he said that he will create several outreach and press conferences like the one he made. Some laughed and some nodded because that wasn’t a smart solution.
No i don’t think like you that the UN is against Israel and the entire world is against Jews and Obama support the Muslim Brotherhood. I dare you to carry these conversations in any college campus and you won’t get so much attention and you know it.
When you start to think better and expose only the bad and radicals and not generalize, then you will be worth listening to. There are also radical Jews, who despite Christians and please don’t let me start this debate. If you’re going to doubt people and if you are a Jew, then don’t wonder why there is this stereotype about Jews that you can’t trust them. Why because they always doubt and don’t trust. That is an issue that many Jews need to address, especially Israeli.
There are good Jews and radical Jews. There are good Muslims and radical Muslims and there are good Christians and radical Christian.
Do you get my point? i doubt you will and you will keep on arguing back.

@Symmt The intent of people or organizations is revealed by their actions not by what they say. That is why Israel seems to be treated very unfairly by the UN and the Obama Administration. Thus the criticism against the UN and Obama. As far as Pamela’s strategy, the best way to fight the jihadists is to reveal the hidden truth(s) about Islam. This requires that the messages educate the public about the dangers of Islam and its political system “Shariah”. You cannot do this by obfuscating the truth in order to spare sensitivities hoping to get a larger audience. You stick to your message and methods, and keep saying it to those who will listen. Her audiences are growing, and every time she gives a speech or appears on TV or on the radio or writes an article or blog, she is becoming more known. She will keep working her message and some day soon everyone that needs to know will be educated about the jihadists and Shariah. Your method, on the other hand obfuscates the truth in the hope of gaining a larger audience in the short term. But since the audience will be getting a very watered down message, they will see no danger, and your effort to get out the message will die! Giving people the whole dirty truth about the dangers of Islam is the only way to properly educate them and the only way that getting the message out will succeed in the long run. If people in Chicago are all “nothing but fun party animals”, then maybe they ought to pay attention and take the threat from Islam to our way of life more seriously. After all if the jihadists succeed in taking America, the parties and fun will be over for good. My grandfather’s country of origin fell because there was no messenger to warn them. Now America has many messengers, but Pam is the most famous. The messengers must be listened to, not told to change their message.

John, pointing out Radicals Islam is one thing and very important, and saying Islam in general is evil is another thing and does offend all Muslims and that is when you fail to receive more support and attention.
You just called or assumed Chicago is fun party animals, i wonder how will that take you to your point. No people in Chicago has a different life, they don’t pay attention too much to extreme hate, they rather live a happy life, work and built a good life. Not so many people will be driven by hate.
If you’re saying Islam in general is dangerous, then why Jews get offended when there is stereotypes such as “Jews control the media” , “Jews can’t be trusted” , “Jews are greedy” Seriously didn’t Borat teach you anything?? Youtube 27k like, why that number?
http://youtu.be/Vb3IMTJjzfo
I don’t think regular Jews who enjoy living pay any attention to messages like these because it is driven by hate and not strategically smart. That is the same issue i have with CAIR, they don’t expose the Muslim brotherhood or Salafists, they don’t support civil right in Egypt. They have a specific mission and agenda here in the USA, they are hypocrites and all but business and politics.
Now what’s it going to be? Pamela can keep generalizing but I don’t see her in press conference with so many supporters and banquets like Ahmed Rehab does every year. See the difference? See who’s strategy winning.
Pamela imputes hate and generalize, while Ahmed Rehab uses her statements to appear like a true activist, so innocent and calm when he is not.

Symmt:
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Prime Minister of Turkey says there is no moderate Islam. By his standard, you are a Muslim or you are nought.
As to offending all Muslims, Ronald Reagan said the Soviet Union was an evil empire, offending not only all communists, but every last progressive talking head in the West. When he said that the Soviet Union holds different values than we, the same cadre applauded as if the two statements meant different things (or perhaps they were just uncomfortable being seen to oppose evil). Failing to name the character of the conflict of values between Islam and the West for fear of offending Muslims and aspiring Dhimmis would be to surrender the moral high ground upon which, alone, victory may be won.
