We prevailed in our free speech lawsuit against the city of Seattle. The city rejected AFDI’s public service ad because of a perceived disparagement to Islam.
AFDI submitted a virtual copy of an FBI ad to run on Seattle transit. The cowards at Seattle King Metro refused to run the ad, claiming that it was disparaging to Muslims. Reality is disparaging to Muslims?
This is a key freedom of speech case, with enormous implications far beyond this one ad. We will never give up in our fight against this flagrant attempt to suppress our most fundamental freedom.
“We now hold that this provision violates the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment. It offends a bedrock First Amendment principle: Speech may not be banned on the ground that it expresses ideas that offend.”
Here are the documents our world-class legal team at the American Freedom Law Center has just filed in our lawsuit challenging the sharia enforcement and denial of our free speech rights by Seattle authorities who are actually claiming that a poster depicting the FBI’s most wanted criminals is disparaging to Muslims because all the most wanted criminals are Islamic jihad terrorists.
Make no mistake — we amended our suit (more here) to correct the “factual errors,” and we will go back. The error in our ad was that we implied the reward for the capture of an FBI terrorism suspect was paid for by the FBI when in fact, the reward is paid by the State…

The clowns on the 9th Circuit court have ruled that an FBI global terrorism want ad poster cannot run because it might upset Muslims.

We fired our latest salvo against the suppression and restriction of our First Amendment rights in deference to the blasphemy laws under the sharia. The American Freedom Law Center (AFLC) filed its opening brief on Friday in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, appealing a lower federal court ruling that denied AFLC’s motion for a preliminary injunction.
Seattle Transit refused to run the FBI’s Global Terrorism ad, so AFDI submitted it, and was refused. Of all the free speech legal battles I am embroiled in, this one is the most absurd. And the most fun, because it is so ridiculous on its face, but it illustrates the crippling submission and capitulation of government authorities to Islamic supremacist demands.
Of all the free speech legal battles I am embroiled in, this one is the most absurd. And the most fun, because it is so ridiculous on its face, but it illustrates the crippling submission and capitulation of government authorities to Islamic supremacist demands. The FBI was running a terrorism awareness campaign, featuring bus ads depicting photos of sixteen of the world’s Most Wanted Terrorists. But then the Leftists and Islamic supremacists complained that the ads were “Islamophobic” and “offensive to Muslims,” and they came down – and unbelievably, Seattle is refusing to allow my group, the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), to put them back up.
Last Thursday, my law firm, the American Freedom Law Center, or AFLC, on behalf of my organization, the American Freedom Defense Initiative, or AFDI, filed a motion asking the federal court in Seattle, Wash., to order the King County transit authorities to run our anti-terrorism advertisement featuring photos of 16 of the world’s Most Wanted Terrorists.

Biased, libelous and with the name calling we have become familiar with in the war of ideas. Opposing jihad is anti-Muslim. Opposing 9/11 (New York), 7/7 (London), 3/11 (Madrid), Mumbai, Bali, Boston, Fort Hood, Kenya’s Westgate mall, Nigeria et al is “anti-Muslim.”
SEATTLE, Oct. 9 (UPI) — An advocacy group says its free speech rights were violated when officials refused to allow it to place ads featuring wanted terrorists on Seattle-area buses.
A group criticized for running purportedly anti-Islamic ads around the country has sued King County over its refusal to allow it to run a poster of wanted terrorists on the sides of Metro buses — an ad almost identical to ones pulled down earlier this summer for being insensitive to area Muslims.
