AFDI’s bold new ads are rolling — check out the guy checking out the ad. Bingo. Our new ad campaign is designed to show the absurdity of the mainstream media focus on “Islamophobia” amid growing jihad violence worldwide. The charge of “Islamophobia” is used to intimidate people into thinking there is something wrong with opposing…

Our new ad campaign is designed to show the absurdity of the mainstream media focus on “Islamophobia” amid growing jihad violence worldwide. The charge of “Islamophobia” is used to intimidate people into thinking there is something wrong with opposing jihad violence.

Here is an excellent rebuke to supremacists, apologists and dhimmis by William Michael. Michael is a financial industry professional and freelance journalist, with a focus on terrorism and organized crime. He resides in New York City. And don’t miss my column on this as well, “Philadelphia blacklists bus ads, enforces Shariah” Critics of Pamela Geller…

100 Moderate Ads Roll-Out in San Francisco Help us make it happen. Contribute here.

Here’s pro-ISIS news coverage from KTVU on our ads of truth. CONTRIBUTE HERE. Yellow journalism. The enemedia reporter, Patti Leek,  never called or asked for comment. The coverage is typical.  What is remarkable is the MTA’s  response. They are running over 2,000 ads to counter our message of truth. They are spending SO MUCH MONEY…

Free speech — ain’t that a kick in the head, NYC City Council? The fascists and totalitarians on the useless, bloated NYC Council have tried to impose their vicious agenda on freedom-loving New Yorkers by demanding that the NYC MTA take our ads down. Not concerned with the very real threat this city faces as…

Our ads are up on 100 buses in San Francisco. And, of course, the dissemblers, apologists, and intellectual frauds come out from under their rocks to denounce them. But when tens of thousands of Muslims and their leftist lapdogs call for the annihilation of the Jewish State, or Jews are attacked in the streets of…

  More national exposure of our ad campaign over at Newsweek. 100 of the “moderate” bus ads (below) went up last night in San Francisco. “James Foley’s Image Pulled From Controversial Ad Campaign,” By Stav Ziv, Newsweek, October 1, 2014 A controversial ad campaign launched in New York City this month and criticized by some…

This CBS News report uses all of the buzzwords that Islamic supremacist terror-tied groups like Hamas-CAIR demand. “Anti-Islamic.” “Islamophobia.” “Anti-Muslim.” It’s incredible. Heads are rolling, and the enemedia is carrying water for the most savage ideology on the face of the earth. Anti-Islamic Group Creates Ad Controversy In Philadelphia Cherri Gregg reports on some controversial…

Just for knowing our “moderate” ad goes up on 100 San Francisco buses next week. Our lawsuit was filed in NYC last week and we are about to file a lawsuit against San Francisco transit for refusing our Hitler/Mufti al Husseini ad. “Pamela Geller-led Group Sues MTA Over ‘Killing Jews’ Ad”, The Jewish Week, 10/08/14,…

Help us get another 100 ads up. CONTRIBUTE HERE. Get the truth out.

Who, in your considered opinion, is more threatening?  A “disgruntled employee” or a “notorious flame-thrower,” a “controversial firebrand blogger” who is behind an ” incendiary ad campaign“? “Geller is a known hater“…”disgusted by Pamela Geller’s”…“right-wing blogger Pamela Geller and her fiercely anti-Islamic group.” The NY Daily News, one of America’s largest selling newspapers, refers to…

Finally, someone with testicular fortitude speaking the truth and calling out the emperor and his new clothes. We have been running ads alerting Americans to this horror for months, years. Finally, a  respected world leader is telling the truth. Finalmente! “Netanyahu: Obama Pushing Anti-American Values – There Will Be No Jew-free Zones In Jerusalem,” By…

With the exception of the preeminent scholar on Islam, Robert Spencer,  there has been only one other courageous soul who has come out in support of our ads: Gina Miller. Imagine that. Among all of those warhorses and blustering bloviators and intellectual cowards on the right, not one could make a case for truth and…

Robert Spencer is slaying dragons over at the [not-so] Jewish Forward. The Forward’s Jewicidals cluck and quack their self-righteous indignation against ….. me, my work, the ads. So brave these quislings are! The world is falling down around their ears, and they are railing against a fellow Jew battling the jihad. The comments on the…

New York? ✓ Phliadelphia? ✓ Teeing up Seattle and San Francisco (more on that later). And now Boston. Our battle with the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority rages on. The MBTA rejected our pro-Israel ad after running particularly antisemitic ads on city buses. After refusing our ads, the MBTA allowed another four vicious libels to run against…

Not only will the truth set you free, it will keep you free. NYC went up today, just as we moved on and took on Philly transit: “Pro-Israel Group Asks Court to Order SEPTA to Display ‘Stop the Islamic Jew-Hatred’ Advertisement,” American Freedom Law Center, October 2, 2014   Today, the American Freedom Law Center (AFLC)…

The good news is that the ad in question is getting published all over the world: “‘Killing Jews’: Pro-Israeli activist sues MTA after anti-Hamas ads turned down,” Russia Today, October 02, 2014 Photo from gellerreport.com A pro-Israeli group has filed a lawsuit against New York’s transportation authority after it refused a bus advertisement campaign that…

The lawsuit that we filed today is getting lots of press. What none of these reports note is that this is Hamas’s own words. This is what Hamas broadcasts over the airwaves in the Gaza. This what Hamas teaches in the schools. This is what was behind the daily rain of rockets this past summer….

Today David Yerushalmi of the AFLC and I went down to the Federal Courthouse at 500 Pearl Street and filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the New York MTA for refusing to run a political ad on MTA buses that contained a quote from Hamas TV, stating, “Killing Jews is worship that draws us…

Tune in tonight to The Sean Hannity Show on Fox News; I will be on to discuss Yale hosting this vicious jihadist: “Yale to Host Radical Terror Sheikh Who Advocated Killing of U.S. Soldiers Controversial sheikh will headline lecture at Yale Law School,” By Adam Kredo Washington Free Beacon, September 26, 2014 A radical Tunisian…

At 12:00 noon, on Wednesday, October 1, 2014, my lawyers from the American Freedom Law Center (AFLC) and I will be filing a federal civil rights lawsuit against the New York MTA for refusing to run a political ad on MTA buses that contained a quote from Hamas TV, stating, “Killing Jews is worship that…

As I explained yesterday, we honored a request by the Foley family and modified one of the ads in our series of jihad-awareness ads that went up today in New York City. Read the full story here.  The replacement ad will be up this week. We did not receive a “cease and desist” letter. The…

Our ads went up today on NYC urban panels (below) and 100 NYC buses. Below are the panels, bus photos to follow. The urban panels are up and the our 100 buses are up on Monday.

In yet another textbook case of media malfeasance and fallacious reportage, the NY Daily News attacks us for modifying one of our jihad-awareness ads after a request was made by the Foley family.  It was never our intention to add to their pain, which was the sole reason why we changed the photo in the…

We have altered the “moderate” ad in our ad campaign and removed the image of James Foley at the request of his family. Here is the letter we received from the attorney engaged by The Fogel family: The use of  Mr. Foley’s photo in our advertisement  would cause “profound distress to the Foley family.” We…

Rosa Flores of CNN did a segment on AFDI’s jihad awareness ads last night on CNN Tonight. Flores was pleasantly evenhanded. CNN Tonight is hosted by Don Lemon. For those who have wondered why Camerota was cut from FOX News, this segment provides ample evidence. Camerota made co-host Don Lemon look balanced and thoughtful. Watch…

The New York Daily News ran this vicious article attacking our ads and me today, even as a mass jihad plot against NYC subway system was thwarted. The mainstream media runs this tripe on an endless loop. Do they ever give us the platform or opportunity to respond in their pages? Never. It’s why our…

More coverage of our Pennsylvania lawsuit in defense of free speech. They got the ad wrong — we only submitted the Islamic Hitler ad. It’s the typical smear piece. The jihad-aligned media insists on calling us an “anti-Islamic” group. We oppose jihad and sharia. We don’t care what you worship. We don’t care if you…

While jihadists vow to attack this city again, city officials kowtow to Islamic supremacists to suppress the truth. The clueless New York City Comptroller and a New York Democratic politician whine about racism — but Islam is not a race. It gets worse from there. But, that said, all of these media reports are showing…

Notorious antisemite Linda Sarsour is holding a press conference right now to condemn our ad campaign designed to increase awareness of the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat, and put an end to the denial and willful ignorance about that threat, so that we adopt of effective counter-terror measures based on that realistic appraisal….

I appeared on the Rick Amato show to discuss the on-going brouhaha regarding our ad campaign going up in NYC this week. Predictably, the media has mounted a campaign against the ads, quoting the Hamas-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations. We cover a lot of ground. Watch it. it’s news the media won’t cover. The truth…

Don’t you love how vicious these journalists are when “reporting” on my work? They are so courageous smearing and attacking defenders of truth and freedom. But they cower and tremble in fear at the idea of reporting on the real enemy. These “journalists” never direct their barbs towards the jihadists, the beheaders, the honor killers,…

How incompetent is the media? First, this NBC news report has the wrong ad. The entire news report is wrong. Secondly, the interview they have with me is from an old report — years old. But hey, that’s not what’s important. What’s important is that the media can use the word “anti-Muslim” repeatedly, even if…

Our ads encourage “islamophobia”? Beheadings encourage “islamophobia.” The ethnic cleansing and slaughter of Christians under the sharia encourage “islamophobia.” Honor killings encourage “islamophobia.” Islamic Jew-hatred  encourages “islamophobia.” Kidnapping girls, gang-raping them and then selling them in slave markets encourages “islamophobia.” Islamic supremacism encourages “islamophobia.” Islamic imperialism encourages “islamophobia.” The brutal restrictions on free speech encourage “islamophobia.” Libeling…

The uber-left islamophiliac Guardian fails in its coverage of our latest ad campaign. They get much wrong. No surprise there. The notorious ADL was asked to comment — the ADL, which has condemned my ads in the past (along with Joan Rivers, David Yerushalmi and Israel at various times). Evan Bernstein, the regional director of…

One of our ads was rejected last month by the New York MTA. I had submitted five, and one was refused. I replaced the rejected ad with two others — the “yesterday’s moderate is today’s headline” and “Hamas is ISIS.” We have six ads running on buses and urban panels. “They’re wrong,” Ms. Geller said….

In the Islamic State, the jihadis are beheading journalists. In the United States, journalists want to behead me. And Mayor de Blasio is ululating right behind them. The NY Post’s Jennifer Fermino, whose coverage of our campaign has been nothing short of incendiary, called me for comment. This journalistic flamethrower asked me for a comment…

More media coverage of groundbreaking campaign. The media insists that opposing jihad is  “anti-Islam”: “Anti-Islam ads on buses, subway stations” Fox News, September 19th, 2014 September 19, 2014 NEW YORK (MYFOXNY) – Starting next week, 100 buses and two subway stations will display anti-Islam advertisements despite efforts by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to block them….

Here is AP calling beheading “Islamic”: Anti-Islamic Ads Coming to New York Transit System NEW YORK — September  19, 2014, 9:19 AM ET Associated Press via ABC News   Anti-Islamic ads will begin appearing on a hundred New York City buses and at two subway entrances next week. The six ads include an image of…

The message is getting out to the people. Our ads are designed to raise awareness about the need for Muslims in the US not just to denounce ISIS, but to teach young Muslims why this understanding of Islam is wrong and must be rejected. If the Islamic State is not Islamic, what is it? How…

The NY Daily News headline screams, “Shocking anti-Islam ad campaign coming to MTA buses, subway stations.” Shocking? Shocking is beheading journalists with six-inch knives. Shocking is kidnapping hundreds of non-Muslim girls, gang-raping them and selling them at slave markets. Shocking is one million Christians being ethnically cleansed or slaughtered from Syria. Shocking is thousands of…

Breitbart article about our new ad campaign to run on OVER 100 NYC BUSES AND URBAN PANELS. These are the six ads — epic. “New AFDI Ad Campaign Tells Truths About Islam and Jihad That Government and Media Ignore”, Pamela Geller, Breitbart, September 18, 2014 My organization, the human rights advocacy group the American Freedom…

While we roll out a new ad campaign next week with over 100 buses and urban panels, one of the ads in our new campaign was rejected by the Pennsylvania Transit Authority. Imagine: During the American Revolution, Philadelphia played an instrumental role as a meeting place for the Founding Fathers of the United States, who…
