'Jihad' ads on CTA buses spark outrage

The controversial ads unveiled on the back of 10 CTA buses Wednesday read, “In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man.” They conclude with the words, “Support Copts. Defeat Jihad,” referring to friction between Muslims and Coptic Christians in Egypt.
Within hours of the buses' first runs, messages appeared on Facebook and Twitter denouncing the campaign. Many said degrading a spiritual tenet of Islam -- one that refers to a Muslim's personal quest to become a better person -- amounts to hate speech.
“This whole campaign insinuates Muslims are violent,” said Asaf Bar-Tura, programs director for the Jewish Council on Urban Affairs, which protested the ads on social media Wednesday. “If it's within their legal powers, (CTA) should either not put it up because they incite hate and stereotypical thinking or put a label next to each sign saying `The CTA disagrees with this ad.’ ”
So far, federal judges have sided with the advertisement's sponsor, the American Freedom Defense Initiative, which sued transit authorities in New York City and Washington, D.C., when they initially rejected the ads. Those judges ruled that public forums such as buses and trains can't bar advertising entitled to First Amendment protection.

We need more of it... Anti-Jihad ads are necessary, and I think we need more of anti-Islam ads, because not only Egyptian Christians need to be protected, but Christians everywhere since the Muslim disease spread across America and Europe as well. People should know what these filthy Muslim scumbags look like. These savages are the main threat to any sane man, because they like a swarm spoiling any place they settle. Now Muslim extremists are busy with setting their foul order in the Middle East, and then Europe’s turn, because it’s Muslim population is enough for another Jihad. America is also in danger since millions of Americans turn from Christianity to Islam annually. We need more of anti-Islam propaganda that will remove scales from people’s eyes, or America will fall on knees before Muslim bloodthirsty extremists, whose hobby is blowing people up and raping little girls. Wake up, people! Wake up! There are no good Muslims!

Friction?
There is no “friction” between Copts and Moslems - the Moslems are bent on exterminating them.
