A Tale of Two Ads: Govt Accepts Anti-God ad in Michigan
Same Ad with Muhammad, DENIED

16
Look at these two ads. The same but for a word, no? One ad ran, one ad was denied.
This is what sharia in America looks like. The Blaze has the story.

This ad ran on Detroit SMART buses here

While the ads may offend some, SMART's Beth Dryden tells Shea they met
the system guidelines and were vetted by their legal department.

March 3, Crain's:
Additionally, because the ads are what SMART considers
“viewpoint-neutral content” the agency can't reject them, she said.
That's because a government agency cannot censor such content, which is
protected by the First Amendment.

Got that? Good.

We submitted the ad below to this same transit agency in Detroit/Dearborn, SMART, and we were DENIED. This ad was rejected:

SMART ad copy
Here's what SMART said:
The
proposed advertisement submitted by Pamela Geller has been reviewed
under SMART’s content policy. SMART, consistent with its review process,
also reviewed the
referred-to website: thetruthaboutmuhammed.com
Consistent with its policy, with the Sixth Circuit opinion in AFDI v
SMART, and consistent with other law, SMART declines to post the
advertisement.

Our message parallels the atheist ads. Since they were accepted, I modeled this ad
after theirs, to see if the freedom of speech applied to criticism of Islam in our cowardly and politically correct age. This is the same government agency that refused to run our "Leaving Islam?" ads that were designed to help Muslim girls who wanted to lead more Western lives escape dangerous devout households. SMART refused. My legal team, David Yerushalmi and Robert Muise of the and I sued. We won. They appealed to the political ad
— SMART doesn't run political ads. So in my quest to fight on, I wanted
to point out their hypocrisy as we go back to court. This rejection does
just that.  We fight on.

Billy Hallowell over at The Blaze has the exclusive:

Conservative’s Anti-Muhammad Ad Rejected by Detroit Transit System — But Can You Guess Which Ad Was Accepted?

Religious advertisements have been known to spark intense debate. Consider the anti-God billboards
that are regularly posted by non-theist groups like the Freedom From
Religion Foundation and American Atheists. But it isn’t only
non-believers who invoke controversy with their messaging.

Pamela Geller and her American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) have also come under intense scrutiny
for subway and bus ads that target Islamic extremism. Now, the AFDI is
embroiled in a new battle over a proposed anti-Muhammad ad that was
rejected this week by Detroit’s Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional
Transportation (SMART) bus system.

In an e-mail to TheBlaze on Tuesday
evening, the AFDI president noted that, while SMART previously accepted
an “anti-God” atheist ad from the Detroit Coalition for Reason (DCOR),
the public transit company has rejected her organization’s ad. This is
particularly interesting, seeing as the AFDI modeled its design almost
entirely after the DCOR’s banner.

“Our ad, same ad, with one word flipped, was rejected,” Geller told TheBlaze.

The original atheist design featured clouds and the words, “Don’t believe in God? You are not alone.” The organization’s web address
was also present to the bottom left of the ad, sending Internet users
to a web site that encourages people to “shine the light of reason” and
to reject faith and religion.

You should have also submitted an ad reading, “Don’t believe in Jesus Christ?” first to see just how neutral they are at SMART.

Wait! Wait! I KNOW how to get SMART to run the ad. Just modify the wording slightly to say:
“Don’t believe in the pedophile pseudo-prophet of the fascist, racist, butt-lifting misogynist ignoramuses intent of imposing their 7th century Sharia on the whole world?”
You’re not an Islamophobe and you’re not alone!
And of course, the web-site should be named:

I have it on good authority that Allah is upset over all these ads…
No one uses his name or gives him credit for anything, not even the #MyJihad CAIR group of thugs…Allah feels left out and may have a weather or and earthquake tantrum…

It would be interesting to see the deliberations of SMART with regard to their denial of AFDI’s proposed ad. I suspect, given the similarity of the rejected and accepted ads, they the pegged their hat on thetruthaboutmuhammad.com.
I take it as a measure of the corruption and intellectual debasement of our courts that SMART was upheld by the circuit court. Thomas Jefferson and other DWMs (dead white males), most particularly Thomas Paine, would be disgusted with our current judicial system. This is not the system they envisioned.
We can only hope that AFDI prevails on appeal. I suspect a large part of SMART’s (and CAIR’s) strategy is to run up the tab for AFDI. They, I assume, have either taxpayer money (SMART) or petrodollars (CAIR).

I would take God’s name in vain, but I don’t want to offend any atheists.
And speaking of blasphemy, I wonder what the Reverend Wright thinks of that first ad? Allahdamn!

The folks at SMART are not only actually very stupid, and hypocritical. They are liars, and cowards.
They look right into your eyes, and lie their asses off, because they are in truth, extremely afraid of being killed / maimed / terrorized by radical Islamist.
And that I believe, is the real problem.

Your clouds were different thats why. One of the clouds looked like a pig and Muslims don’t like pigs because pigs, like Arnold, that can answer the phone, make them look dumb by comparison.
Let me let your readers on a little inside secret- Mohammadans don’t believe in God either. After all if their god and my God were the same then He would be a schizophrenic twerp sitting in a corner of the universe arguing against himself constantly. He’d be on Medicare taking pills for bi-polar disorder. Now is that a good way to run the universe? I think not.
If I were G-d and I said: “Your frame was not hidden from Me, when I made you in secret, and skillfully wrought you in the depths of the earth. My eyes have seen your unformed substance; and in My book were all written the days that were ordained for you before one of them came about.” Wouldn’t that be a contradiction to “Kill all the Jews.” on a scale unmeasureable?
Be glad when we are persecuted and all manner of things are said against us because that is the substance of the judgement that is to come upon the world at the last trumpet. (Now this is me talking- but let’s have some fun too being that piece of gravel in the shoe of a world of people who happily want to be on a long trek to Hell.)

The website thetruthaboutmohammad.com doesn’t exist. How did they review it? Did it exist and expired? How about sending in an ad with Jesus? Buddha? Confucious? and see if they are accepted or denied? Stupid infidels. They keep falling into traps and now they will be sued, and have to pay the taxpayer’s money to AFDI for their stupidity. Hey, but it’s not their money, somebody else’s, so who cares! I do, and every taxpayer who pays for their stupidity should.
