Look at the reportage on this free speech putsch from the lefist elites, “Democrats Want to Ban Islamophobic Lawmaker From the U.S.” Democrats? How about lawmakers with blue pants? It’s Muslims seeking to impose the vicious and oppressive sharia here in the US. Oppose jihad? Oppose sharia? Then you are “Islamophobic.” It is revealing that…

Robert Spencer eviscerates yet another mainstream media attack on our ads. You can tell by the frenzy that these ads arouse in leftist journalists that they are effective, truthful, and hitting right where they ought to hit. “Gawker laments AFDI’s legal victories for the freedom of speech,” by Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch, April 27, 2015:…

The now-notorious NY Daily News is once again doing the bidding of jihadists, and in this particular case, Hamas. According to the Islamic apologists over at the NY Daily News, it’s “outrageous drivel” to call attention to Hamas’ genocidal rhetoric. The terror-linked group CAIR had an ad campaign “rebranding” the word jihad (http://myjihad.org/). They mean…

The right gets it wrong. Our ads quote high-profile Muslims and Muslim organizations calling for jihad, genocide, gender apartheid, creed apartheid, etc. Shutting down free speech won’t stop these savages, it will embolden them.   The “killing Jews is worship to Allah” ad is a direct quote from a Hamas broadcast on “Palestinian” television. Hamas…

Actually it’s AFDI 5, Fascists 0. Massive coverage and exposure of our ads across the pond….. Side note — all the “related articles” in the body of this article are news stories about jihad terror: —Heavily armed jihadist ‘planning attacks on churches’ is… —Footage of Boston bomber… —Executed for daring to speak the truth about…

It would be a pity to shut down free speech in this way. But we have seen craven city officials do this in other cities. With every AFDI free speech, quisling bureacrats find another way to silence freedom of speech. After we won in Miami, they banned political speech. Chicago, too. I never thought I’d…

There are a few seats open for AFDI’s First Inaugural Muhammad Cartoon Art Exhibit and $10,000 Cartoon Contest. This historic event will be held in Garland, Texas, near Dallas, at the Curtis Culwell Center. Dutch MP Geert Wilders is keynoting the event, joining Robert Spencer, Anders Gravers and me, as well as the winner, Bosch…

The message is getting out there – even in hostile publications like Russia Today (one step away from Al Jazeera): “NYC judge lets through anti-Palestinian ‘killing Jews’ ad as ‘freedom of speech,’”  Russia Today,  April 22, 2015 AFDI president Pamela Geller holds the controversial placard (Photo: AFDI) Dozens of buses and trains emblazoned with anti-Hamas…

The Washington Post does an extensive piece on our win for free speech and begrudgingly reports on our many other victories. They describe the Hamas jihadi in our ad (above) as  “a young man in a checkered headscarf” (he looks more like an executioner). That should sum up their pathology in a nutshell. They make sure…

Heads up! I will be appearing on Hannity tonight to discuss my ads, our legal win and sharia adherence to restrictions on free speech. Tune into FOX News channel at 10 pm. Or DVR it. Post Brooklyn College event – should be an interesting night

A good solid piece on our free speech win today, from the New York Times. “M.T.A. Must Run Bus Ad From Pro-Israel Group, Judge Says,” By Emma G Fitzsimmons, New York Times, April 21, 2015; A federal judge in Manhattan on Tuesday ordered the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to display an ad from a pro-Israel group…

They got the headline right — which is rare. And remember — all of these news stories quote the ad — so the message, one that few know, gets to millions more people. ‘Anti-Jihad’ bus ads can’t be blocked by MTA: judge By Rich Calder and Susan Edelman, NY POST, April 21, 2015 Photo: Tim Wiencis…

Big news: “Judge orders NY transit agency to run ‘Killing Jews’ ad,” Reuters, April 15, 2015 (Reuters) – A federal judge on Tuesday ordered New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority to display on its buses a controversial ad that refers to Muslims killing Jews, rejecting the argument that the ad could incite terrorism or imminent violence….

Another huge AFDI victory for freedom and individual rights. The ruling came down this morning. The Judge came down on our side on every point, upholding the Constitution and beating back sharia restrictions on free speech. Bravo Judge John Koeltl The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York ruled in our favor…

Here is a clip from the NBC Philly Sunday news magazine show, “At Issue,” on the AFDI Islamic Jew-hatred ads. Watch it, because it is rare that I get called for comment, let alone given a chance to counter the smears, defamation and lies. We ran ads in Philadelphia in response to hateful and deceptive…

Muslim supremacists and their goosestepping leftwing lapdogs are crowing about “defacing” our ads on Philly buses. These fools don’t realize that SEPTA has to make good on this destruction. But what these goons also don’t realize is that they add to our message. Yes, the Islamic Jew-hatred, creed apartheid, gender apartheid, genocide exhortations, and misogyny…

Another AFDI ad campaign is rolling. Onward and upward, freedom lovers. Donate here.

Headline:  “Muslims ‘hurt’ by new SEPTA ads.” That’s what passes for journalism these days. Muslims should be hurt by the chaos their devout are causing in Kenya, Mali, Nigeria, Congo, the Central African Republic, Iraq, Syria, Israel, Egypt, Jordan, et al. Muslims should be “hurt” by the creed apartheid, gender apartheid, Islamic Jew-hatred, misogyny, etc….

More national and international coverage of AFDI’s ad campaign in the nation’s “cradle of liberty,” Philadelphia (with its Nutter of a Mayor).      People are talking about: — the role of the Islamic world during World War II. Most people are painfully unaware of the Mufti al Husseini. — Islamic Jew-hatred, the Quranic texts…

Our ads are going up today in Philly, and it’s causing a firestorm. The Mayor and the usual suspects are galvanized and united and so forth. If only Islamic Jew-hatred, jihad and sharia elicited this kind of response — we wouldn’t be in the trouble we’re in now. The comments on this CBS piece are…

Another glorious moment for AFDI and all Americans. SEPTA (South Eastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority) held a press conference this afternoon announcing that they will not appeal their loss, our win last week in our free speech lawsuit. The court ruled that the Transit Authority cannot ban our message highlighting Islamic Jew-hatred, the root cause of…

Adam Klasfeld of the Courthouse News Service has published the ridiculous piece below about our hearing Tuesday at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on our motion for a preliminary injunction, asking the court to require New York City’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to run our AFDI “Killing Jews is…

Today my ace lawyer David Yerushalmi of the American Freedom Law Center (AFLC) argued before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on our motion for a preliminary injunction, asking the court to enter an order requiring New York City’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to run our AFDI “Killing Jews is…

Here’s what passes for news reporting these days. To say I was cut off would be an gross understatement. I have yet to see a rational, coherent news report on this historic win and the war on free speech. Apparently even one segment on free speech is too much to expect from these clowns. The…

“The Talmud teaches that the Temples in Jerusalem were destroyed because of sinat chinam, ceaseless and unwarranted hatred that Jews needlessly displayed towards other Jews.” How ironic that Deborah Lipstadt and David Ellenson would write that, since that is just what they’re guilty of doing: spreading unwarranted hatred toward Ronn Torossian and me for daring…

Reuters weighs in and consults Hamas in America — CAIR. CAIR gets more publicity from our work than anything else they do. Always terror-tied CAIR is mentioned with none of the convictions, jihad terror ties or their co-conspirator designation in the largest terrorist funding trial in our nation’s history. The media unabashedly aligns with the…

Just how backward is the Forward? Look at the subheadline, “Court Rules Transit Authority Can Ban Hateful Message.” Actually it’s just the opposite. The court ruled the TA cannot ban our message. Heads are exploding among the Jewish left. Ever heard of wishful thinking? Well, this is wishful publishing. Calling our ad “hateful” is typical…

Our Islamic Jew-hatred ad is getting massive coverage in national and international news outlets. Most of the news stories are showing the ad, which serves to educate millions who know nothing of the history of Islamic Jew-hatred. The notoriously anti-semitic Guardian didn’t run the ad, but ran a glamor photo of Hitler instead. Very telling….

More news of our free speech victory: “Judge: SEPTA buses can be plastered with Hitler’s mug,” Philadelphia Inquirer, March 12, 2015 The ad, produced by American Freedom Defense Initiative, features a photograph of a 1941 meeting between Adolf Hitler and Hajj Amin al-Husseini, a Palestinian Arab nationalist who made radio broadcasts supporting the Nazis. By…

Here’s the statement from our supreme legal team, notably, ““Across the country, we have successfully litigated cases where government transit authorities permit the Muslim Brotherhood-Hamas front groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations to run ads misleading the public about Jihad and Islamic Jew hatred.  When our clients run ads exposing this Jew hatred, all…

Brilliant news, freedom lovers. We won in Philadelphia. Your First Amendment rights were in jeopardy, so we fought and we are victorious. The court granted our motion for a preliminary injunction. The judge held that the forum was a designated public forum, and so the content-based restriction on our speech could not survive strict scrutiny,…

The BDS-supporting New Israel Fund responded to our numerous editorials and our new bus campaign in today’s San Diego Journal. Daniel Sokatch, CEO of the anti-Israel New Israel Fund, claims “We are pursuing a sophisticated media strategy to keep these lies from reaching the mainstream press. And we are continuously examining our legal options.” Legal…

In today’s radical leftist Jewish newspaper, The Forward, editor Jane Eisner sheds crocodile tears over AFDI’s new bus campaign exposing Jewish funders to BDS and the “anatomy of the smear” (cribbing from my playbook). In the last few weeks, there has been a tremendous outcry against the New Israel Fund. Among many other matters, New…

Another reason our new AFDI ad campaign outing these quislings is so critical. “Anti-Israel marchers in the Celebrate Israel Parade,” By Ronn Torossian, NY Post March 8, 2015 | < Members of the Jewish Foundation School of Staten Island march in the Israel Parade in June 2014.
