New York City politicians and religious leaders on Tuesday criticized a series of anti-Islam advertisements due to appear on 100 city buses, with many critics calling for the campaign to be blocked.
Melissa Mark-Viverito, the speaker of the City Council, and Comptroller Scott Stringer joined a rally outside City Hall organized by the Arab American Association of New York and other groups to criticize the display ads sponsored by a group run by Pamela Geller, who writes a blog criticizing Islam.
The ads, one of which features an image of American journalist James Foley moments before he was beheaded by an Islamic State militant in August, suggest that Islam is inherently violent and extremist and call for the end of American aid to Islamic countries.
The campaign, scheduled to run for four weeks, was paid for by Geller's group, American Freedom Defense Initiative.

These ads need to be on busses all over our country. What’s wrong with truth telling?
Gee, they don’t look like anti islam ads to me, unless of islam = terrorists.
It’s just not considered polite to point at the people trying to kill you.
TRUTH? LEFTIST DHIMMIS CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!
Posters aren’t hate. Beheadings are hate.
I can see why NY politicians hate these ads, smearing muslim murderers and killer psychos like they do.
Why don’t they just pass an ordinance banning the ads?
The democrat or one of it's followers would snidely say to you "What is truth?"
The truth takes a terrible bite out of Progressive a$$es. Time to bring out the DOJ hack lawyers and investigate the hell out of somebody for hate crimes. You can’t have a bunch of the unwashed masses dissing His Arrogance’s best buds.
NY politicians are scared sh*tless.
She doesn't "criticize" Islam. She writes the truth about this twisted cult of death.
They are then promoting religion
Here’s an idea.
REMOVE every moslem from the United States.
CLOSE all mosques in the United States.
PROHIBIT all moslems from flying on US Airlines
Retaliate against any attack by moslems against the United States by a factor of 100,000 fold.
Make it CLEAR to moslems that GENOCIDE is an option the USA isn’t ruling out.
And steal all of their oil money,redirect the IRS towards that mission .

Put up ads naming these New York Politicians with charges that they are anti-American and pro-Islamic in trying to suppress freedom of speech.
Well, it's not as if the muslim terrorists attacked NY City, destroyed a prominant landmark and killed 3,000 innocent people..... /s
That's idiotic.
Amen!
Melissa Mark-Viverito AKA manster or manbeast is upset becuase the truth is told
