Yesterday, for the first time I saw a billboard very similar to the one pictured here:
It leads to the linked website. Apparently, this is a nationwide campaign to place advertisements to recruit for "islam," aka mohammedanism.
Not only did the sight of it chill me to the bone, I notice the timing is close to 9/11 and Rosh Hashanah. The one I saw in L.A. is adjacent to the largest Black area and very near the most orthodox Jewish neighborhood.
Geez...thought it was a Barney Fwank re-election poster; I SLAM
Mmm, time for some paint ball decorations.
Interesting placement of the CBS name/logo.
There are so many storm clouds gathering I’ve lost count. And I hear the distant thunder.
This is none other than the work of ICNA. Masha’Allah, the group is very active all over America and they have a handful of other shiny projects that our Muslim brothers and sisters are working hard to push. In Chicago, they’ve got a weekly “Da’wah Ad” in the Chicago Tribune’s Metro section. And all over the US (in 19 major cities) they have a National Radio Ad Campaign where they’ll play this ad on the major radio stations for anyone listening: 877-WHY-ISLAM National Radio Ad Campaign
SaqibSaab
My first thought re action also.
The climate is right for this kind of thing during the present regime.
ISLAM
Beat your wives, send your sons to suicide!
Stone your daughters if they object!
It's better than video games!
Christian groups have been putting up billboards for a long time, somebody else was going to decide to copy the idea eventually.
They never stop pushing and if we do not end their immigration, eventually they will win.
Christians are not looking to impose a set of barbaric laws on the country, Muslims are. That is the point.
A reminder of Americas’ First significant Muslim..

But we are supposed to be an equal society. If Christians can advertise so can anybody else. That’s the point of The Constitution.
Muslims will use our freedoms against us to takeover and then they will take away our rights. Allowing Islam religious status and even allowing Muslims to come here was a huge mistake.
Sounds like ACORN had an early start! :P
The USSR believed we’d sell them the rope to hang us.
This is not about military, it is about the political aspect of Islam.
As of now Islam is kicking the crap out of the West. We will lose if laws are not changed.
It wasn’t about then either. The USSR was quite sure they’d use our freedoms to destroy us. Many people here thought the USSR would use our freedoms to destroy us. We’re here, they’re not, and I’m not buying that argument the second time aruond.
I would love to see one of those go up by me. You’d be reading about me in the morning paper.
Perfect.
I agree - and we need to have a little faith in our citizens that when exposed to something that runs opposite to American values, they will not endorse it.
Let them advertise - let them spread the info about what they believe Islam is. Let those to whom they speak decide for themselves.
I hear you, loud and clear.
Yes, right. Let them advertise in YOUR neighborhood and put a mosque on YOUR street and demand halal food in the schools and the market and protest any pro-Israel public figure, etc. Let them, and then you get back to us on how that worked out for you.
There...that needed fixin'! :D
The last couple of years anti-Christian cults seem to be on a roll.
You’re good:)
Got to be done! :D
Exactly, if these billboards push Islam to victory we were already hosed. One of the reasons America is a great nation is we give the citizens the freedom to not be great, true greatness has to be a choice, and so far historically enough Americans chose greatness to keep this ship afloat.
Take out Mecca during the Haj - no warning. Their god is inferior... end of Islam.
You culturally weak Republicans, you had better get a spine and stop reacting to the Liberal indoctrination. This country isn't just about money, it is about our culture as well and the security of our descendants.
Look on the bright side....
You have a lot of company that shares those sentiments.
You have verbalized the fear....now get ready.
I'm not a doomsayer, tin foil hat wearin' anything.
I can read the hand writing on the wall (floor, ceiling, etc) as well as the next person.
I told my wife, "I'd rather you call me a fool after this all blows over, but I think it's going to blow 'up' rather than 'over'......and I will not be caught unprepared."
And I'll still have the cool guns I bought so far....never knew that was so much fun! Should'a started that long ago!
:)
What caliber PB gun ya thinkin' about....looks to be a rather tall building...?
I'm with ya!
It does look huge. How about a nice JESUS sign next to it, maybe a crucifix.
Those are my kind of billboards.
Twice the size and sitting right on top of it.....perfect!
Preparations are in progress. And it’s comforting knowing there are many others....
we need to have a little faith in our citizens that when exposed to something that runs opposite to American values, they will not endorse it.
Discostu: I'm a Christian. I don't believe in killing you because you don't believe in what I do.
THEY DO! No crap, please, about the 'fringe element' - don't buy that sh!t for a minute. Their population's (in our country!) reaction after 9/11 was all I needed to see. Read the Coran, I have, not all of it but enough to get a feel for these P'sOS.
Graf008: To me, the American values are everything. They do not accept our values, period. The last time we left it up to the "Joe Citizen", look what we got.
The old saying, "Keep your friends close, your enemies even closer" most certainly applies here.
England tried to satisfy / appease these P'sOS, now our GD laywers are doing the same thing.
Both of you: Are you willing accept an enemy into your camp that reads a book that espouses your destruction, because you don't believe in CrapHead / Child raper, pig head, allah.........??????
What sane person would allow one of these vermin to stay in their house?..........
You....?
Doesn’t matter. What happens when we let the government start picking and choosing which religions get to advertise? Especially for the next 3 1/2 years or so when we have a person in the White House clearly hostile to conservative Christian values? America is about freedom. If we have to get rid of that to fight them then we’ve already lost, we might manage to avoid becoming Islamic, but we won’t be America anymore.
thanks La Enchiladita.
I just find this funny for some reason...
Notice that no one said they cannot advertise. You extrapolated to that premise. We need, however, to stay informed of what they are doing. Also, if citizens are forced by proximity to view images or sentiments they disagree with on a billboard, they have recourse. I believe there is an individual who fights billboards with Christian messages. Religion on a billboard seems to be very controversial. It is an area in which we DO cherish freedom of choice, to the degree that we do not appreciate a harangue on the subject.
Having said that, this creates more of an alarm because islam is intextricably woven with 9/11 and hundreds of years of terrorism. They only wear “religion” as a disguise. This is the difference.
However, you are right that anyone with the money can advertise on a billboard. And it is also true that citizens have, with various degrees of success, protested controversial messages and images displayed. One thing that goes hand in hand with Liberty is Civility.
No one has said much of anything, other than they’re against it. and they way you’re throwing around “let them” as a challenge it’s pretty clear you want to NOT let them, that would mean they cannot.
There are people (morons) that whine about Christian billboards, there are even people (criminals) that vandalize Christian billboards. It shouldn’t be a controversial topic at all. It’s a billboard, people need to toughen up. And really that goes for ALL billboards. If you don’t like what’s being advertised, whether it’s a religion or a radio show or a slutty clothes manufacturer, unless it’s outright pornographic or uses words on the FCC list people need to remember there is no right not to be offended.
Of course there isn't. Duh.
You manage to steer the conversation in crazy directions. The topic is: islam is the enemy of America. Patriots who love our country do not want islam to spread and take over our society. The billboard is an emblem of their serious aim to do so.
I don't care whether you agree or disagree with that. I just think you are terribly naive and over your head in this discussion.
I’m not steering at all. The topic is: should Islam be allowed to put up billboards. And the answer is: if we value the First Amendment yes. The billboard, just like Christian billboards, is an example of freedom of speech and religion. Doesn’t matter if YOU don’t like the religion, doesn’t even matter if the religion has declared us the enemy (which, truthfully, they have NOT). We have vital principles in this country, things that make this country great, and the Bill of Rights would be high on that list. We aren’t a country like England with an official state religion; we aren’t even a country like Germany that declares some religions too scary to live; we’re America we make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.
I find your need to resort to insults highly telling. People who need insults know logic won’t support their argument.
Islam is not a religion. It is a political system.
Sorry but it’s a religion. Of course even if it was a political system that’s STILL covered by the First.
You're making a mistake characterizing Islam as simply a religion. It's a religion, a complete societal blueprint and system of government rolled into one.
