- The ad reads, "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad."
- Abdul Yasar, a New York subway rider who considers himself an observant Muslim, said Geller's ad was insensitive in an unsettling climate for Muslims.
"If you don't want to see what happened in Libya and Egypt after the video — maybe not so strong here in America — you shouldn't put this up," Yasar said.[ emphasis added] - The Metropolitan Transportation Authority in New York initially refused to run Geller's ad, saying it was "demeaning." But U.S. District Court Judge Paul Engelmayer ruled last month that it is protected speech under the First Amendment.
- Donna Lieberman, executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, backed publication of the "patently offensive" ads.
- Opponents say the ads imply that Muslims are savages.
Comment:
Let's get this straight--- is it the government's position that Muslims have the right to jihad? Do we have a First Amendment anymore? Does this country intend to allow all of us to be dhimmified?
It is wrong under the First Amendment to ban any ad such as this. There is nothing wrong with it at all.
