EXCLUSIVE: Mayor de Blasio blasts anti-Islamic ad campaign as 'outrageous'
NY Daily News ^ | 9/19/14 | JENNIFER FERMINO

Posted on 09/19/2014 4:38:30 PM PDT by jimbo123

Calling them "outrageous, inflammatory and wrong," Mayor de Blasio on Friday blasted an incendiary new ad campaign that bashes aspects of Islam.

One of the ads, which will appear on 100 buses and at two subway entrances, includes an image of American journalist James Foley just before he was beheaded.

In a statement to the Daily News, de Blasio said the ads had "no place in New York City, or anywhere."

"These hateful messages serve only to divide and stigmatize when we should be coming together as one city," de Blasio said.

"While those behind these ads only display their irresponsible intolerance, the rest of us who may be forced to view them can take comfort in the knowledge that we share a better, loftier and nobler view of humanity."

Hateful he says? There’s hardly anything more hateful than sawing a persons head off, mayor.

In a statement, the MTA said it rejected the ad because it was "reasonably foreseeable" it would "imminently incite or provoke violence or other immediate breach of the peace, and so harm, disrupt, or interfere with safe, efficient, and orderly transportation operations."

In other words, the Muslims may try to bomb our buses....

On the bright side, NYC cutlery sales will bring in additional sales tax revenue for the city’s socialists to spend.

Did anyone ever find out why he banned the press from the ramadan dinner he hosted a few months ago when every other mayor welcomed the press?

ISIS has become the face of Islam.

I hope they keep it up.

Probably cheering on Bill Ayers' statement published that very day (in the NY Times) that he didn't regret having planted those bombs during the 60's and 70's.

A poster isn’t hateful...Beheading is hateful.

Controversial conservative blogger Pamela Geller is bankrolling the ad blitz, at a cost of $100,000. In an interview, she called it an "education campaign" to highlight the dangers of jihadist ideology.

Pamela Geller has so much courage [and evidently $$ too].

But the pro-Palestinian anti-Israel bus signs are okay. (Pt. Townsend, WA) Sneaky me plants business card size Israeli flags over them.

You mean Warren Wilhelm, Jr.

By the time he appeared on the public stage in 1990, he was using the name Bill de Blasio as he explained he had been called "Bill" or "Billy" in his personal life.[10] He did not legally change over to this new name until 2002, when the discrepancy was noted during an election
