It took months and plenty of sturm and drang, but the CTA finally caved and accepted our #myjihad ads. It is disturbing that a government agency is working hand in hand with a Hamas group, but that is indeed the low state of the world at this point in the war.
Here is the white flag. Look at how the city of Chicago calls our defense of freedom, of minorities, women and children, Jews, Christians, and Hindus racist, intolerant and "hatred." They have the indecency to call us "morally reprehensible." Oh, the irony. They are morally reprehensible for denying us our First Amendment rights. They are morally reprehensible for carrying water for the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. They are morally reprehensible for abandoning religious minorites, women and children living under the boot of the most oppressive and extreme ideology on the face of the earth.
Our ads are like the silver cross to their Dracula. And the jihad-aligned media can't get enough of the Muslim Brotherhood lie. Another glowing piece ran yesterday at CNN International. Look here. This is the same CNN whose Peter Bergen is telling us not to overstate the threat of al Qaeda. (Link thanks to Larry.)

Daily Caller has the exclusive:
Lawsuit forces Chicago to accept anti-jihad bus ads Neil Munro
The Chicago Transit Authority has agreed to display plain-spoken
anti-jihad ads on city buses, following a lawsuit by the American
Freedom Law Center.City officials initially rejected the American Freedom Defense
Initiative’s anti-jihad ads, even after the city accepted bus ads that
touted a sanitized portrayal of jihad as exercise and education rather
than warfare.The center’s anti-jihad ads are “morally reprehensible — advocating
racism, hatred and intolerance of cultural diversity,” said a Feb. 4
letter from Karen Seimetz, the general counsel of the city’s bus
authority.Read the rest here.
To which my lawyer, David Yerushalmi of the American Freedom Law Center, responded:
Dear Ms. Seimetz:
Thank
you for your letter of today's date. To the extent that the indemnity
you will ask my client to sign is commercially and legally reasonable
and indeed an agreement required of all advertisers, I don't imagine
that will be an issue.As
to you prefatory comment about my client's ad being morally
reprehensible, I must note that you provide no basis for your professed
moral outrage other than conclusory language about advocating racism,
hatred and the like. For a lawyer employed by a state entity, your
comments are both inappropriate and logically inept. My client's ad
advocates no such thing. That suggests, of course, that your commentary
is a political cover for the CTA, which in turn speaks to the lack of
intellectual integrity and moral rectitude of both the CTA and its
spokespersons.Be
that as it may, the CTA has capitulated grudgingly, apparently, to the
First Amendment of the Constitution. And, apparently, we have my clients
to thank for that.

First Muslim college in the US
With only a dozen students for now, Zaytuna College in California hopes to integrate Islamic and western education.
Last Modified: 04 Feb 2013 17:10
A Muslim college in the United States is the first of its kind, which mission is to join Islamic scholarship with the Western academic emphasis on free inquiry and developing critical intellectual capacities.
Zaytuna College in Berkeley California is a fledgling institution with only 31 students, operating out of space rented from a Baptist seminary.

Wow! Great Lady!
“Our ads are like the silver cross to their Dracula.” Here it is – the perfect 2:30 minutes of Bella Lagosi’s Dracula and the “silver cross.”

In his letter of response, David was too kind to mention that “Ms. Seimetz” has FAILED completely to do her homework regarding the 1400 years of cultural and civilizational destruction wrought by the jihad of Islam. Mr. Yerushalmi probably realized that he would be wasting his time to try to enlighten the “General Counsel” of the CTA regarding Islam’s END of the “cultural diversity” that supposedly is so highly valued by Ms. Seimetz.
Well, why in the world should free people continue to employ those who will not protect the very values they profess to cherish? Why do we need such people as the current “General Counsel” on the payroll?
I say, we don’t.
KAFIR AND PROUD!!

There is a grammatical error with the last one. It should read: ‘The first thing we are calling you to is Islam …’, not ‘ The first thing we are calling you is to Islam’. Hope you can correct this as it is a glaring error of English.

What do you think about these words: My Jihad is to Defend Freedom of Speech – ? Turn the notion of Islamic campaigning, fighting, struggling, to the real purpose of challenging violent jihad – namely defending freedom.
Just a thought.

Here is a word searchable transcript of that meeting.

“Jihad” is mentioned 16 times, and it is clear they are referring to an armed insurgency.

Thank you Pamela for strengthening the first amendment and fighting the advance of sharia for all Americans.
P.S. : Could I possibly barrow your lawyers if I ever get into legal trouble?

“Racism, hatred & intolerance of cultural diversity”– sounds like a totally brainwashed drone.
Not that lefties ever have an argument beyond the race card.
Congratulations! This is a big win for you, for all Americans and the first amendment.

I posted this on JW but it also appliers here…Shazads #jihad, comes from here…full quote:
“Jihad is holy fighting in Allah’s Cause with full force of numbers and weaponry. It is given the utmost importance in Islam and is one of its pillars. By Jihad Islam is established, Allah’s Word is made superior (which means only Allah has the right to be worshiped), and Islam is propagated. By abandoning Jihad Islam is destroyed and Muslims fall into an inferior position; their honor is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish. Jihad is an obligatory duty in Islam on every Muslim. He who tries to escape from this duty, or does not fulfill this duty, dies as a hypocrite.”
It’s too bad that’s too long for a banner ad…

In the above article there is a picture of the Fort Hood shooter. With this it is therefore a good time to repeat to and remind the reader that the Fort Hood shooter was yelling out “Allahu Akbar” all the time he was commiting thoses heinous and murderous acts. He was and is a jihadist, His religion drove him to it. For example the Quran does teach in Sura 9:112 “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, kill and are killed.” This is just one of the many parts of the Quran that teach violence and killing. Therefore, he is guilty of murder and likwise his religion, Islam, which inspired hims to thoses vicious and brutal actions is also guilty of murder.

I find it quite repugnant that Karen Seimetz would blithely denigrate the newest ads as “morally reprehensible”. To make that assertion is to denigrate Pamela similarly, as she is an enthusiastic supporter of said ads!
Of course, as is so common among people of Seimetz’s persuasion, there is no attempt to provide a rationale when issuing a calumny- the unsubstantiated and rather extraneous slur suffices in her mind.
As far as I am concerned, Ms. Seimitz is a scumbag.

CAIR’s myjihad ads do not have a disclaimer. What was CTA’s reasoning for requiring a disclaimer on the AFDI ads? That is grounds for another lawsuit.

There’s plenty of others too for the next campaign such as:
An ancient picture of Mo saying:
Sura 2:23 Sahih International
And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah , if you should be truthful.
With a picture of a cartoon (can’t be killed) of a person saying, we call as our witnesses, the Original, unabrogated version of Allah’s immutable word and the earlier Torah and Injil (Gospels).
or how about:
Sahih International sura 3:3
He has sent down upon you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth, confirming what was before it. And He revealed the Torah and the Gospel.
With a picture of an open Bible with the land covenant to Jacob from YY
Wow, you can have a field day:
e.g. 2 adverts together, sura 33:21 (Mo the perfect pattern) with maybe sura 33:26-27 of the killing of the Qureshi Jewish Tribe and the stealing of their land:
Sahih International
And He brought down those who supported them among the People of the Scripture (Jews) from their fortresses and cast terror into their hearts [so that] a party you killed, and you took captive a party.
33:27
And He caused you to inherit their land (in Arabia) (GIVE IT BACK, then OR SWAP IT FOR YESHA!!!!!What’s good for the goose…) and their homes and their properties (COMPENSATION/REFUGEES RIGHTS!!!) and a land which you have NOT trodden. And ever is Allah , over all things, competent…….
He’s always competent is Alah, even when he’s changing his immutable, eternal law:
Hmmmm I can feel another advert coming on….
Sahih International sura 2:106
We (Alah) do NOT abrogate a verse or cause it to be forgotten except that We bring forth [one] better than it or similar to it. Do you not know that Allah is over all things competent?
Versus the Torah
Psalm 119:89
Your word, O LORD, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens.
I;m having too much fun, but it’s bedtime, so just one more:-
Oh I just can’t stop, how about
Leviticus 24:22
You are to have the SAME LAW for the alien and the native-born. I am the YY your God.'”
Versus the Qur’aan sura 9:29
Yusuf Ali
FIGHT those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until THEY PAY the Jizya with willing submission, AND FEEL THEMSELVES SUBDUED.
I was looking for the verse where if there is a kuffr and a Muslim, the Muslim is NEVER GUILTY in a court of SHARIA law, even if he is guilty if the other innocent person is a non-believer.
The real eternal hates different weights and measures.

@MA02169 :
Chicago has a “beneath the radar” Islamic College sitting right on Lake Shore Drive at Irving Park Rd.
Hundreds of thousands pass it everyday without realizing what it is.
It was “Immaculata High School”,a Catholic Girls School ,and the school had to have been sold by the “Archdiocese of Chicago”.

Pamela, of course you’re a unique angel for Israel and for Freedom, and admirable for your courage in defying the monsters with positive action! But I still feel their garbage quotes could be alternated with ads like the ones you did the first time, something like, “between a savage and a civilized person you must vote for the civilized person”. Don’t remember the exact words but they certainly made me tremble all over with excitement and admiration! The islamists know what the quotations are and are furious, which is fine, but the stupid mobs will get “inspiration” from them and follow them even more…It’s like a reminder to them. Just as I got inspired by your signs…I hope I’m wrong. LONG LIVE ISRAEL!!!

Choi;
I did not know this. But now that I’m thinking about it, there are probably dozens of super secret Islamic hideouts all over America.
The thing that makes this one in Berkeley California special, is that it is not hidden.
