International Business Times UK ^ | 09/21/2014 | Tom Porter

A series of controversial anti-Islam adverts are being displayed on New York buses. One features a picture of the masked Isis militant known as 'Jihadi John', who has decapitated three western hostages in online videos, alongside an image of London rapper Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary, who some suspect is 'John'.

"Yesterday's moderate is today's headline," reads the caption.

The advertisement is divisive??

How do you get any more divisive than cutting someone’s head off?

“Divisive”? A piece of paper on the side of a bus ISN’T “divisive”. Chopping somebody’s head off, NOW THAT’S “DIVISIVE”.

controversial

'Controversial'? Since when is the truth controversial?

Oh, that's right, whenever the Left says it is. Silly me ...

Divisive! Divisive for whom? To hell with muzzles’ upset feelings. If they don’t like it they can leave.

Dividing a mans Body and Head Is ABOUT as divisive as it gets..

the term divisive used in its current sense....is precluded here in that as there has never been any unity between bloodthirsty cut throat mohammedans...and ANYONE ELSE...anywhere...at any time.. there’s nothing to BE DIVISIVE About

We should put together a group here at FR to project manage securing similar billboard advertisement along major US highway corridors (think I-95, I-10, and I-70).

And let people know it came from FR.

since there are evil people in the world, the truth can often be decisive.

London rapper Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary, who some suspect is 'John'

They should really wait for a positive identification before making such ads. What if Bary turns out not to be 'John'? They'll look like fools and some collaborating NY lawyer is going to sue 'em for defamation.

I've got to agree with that. And messages like this one are most effective when they stick to one main point. The main point being: islamists are barbarians who behead people.

The more extra stuff you try to cram in, the less effective the message becomes.

Good!

Let the folks that think that they matter, more than the “rest of fly-over America”, have it in their face, what that (expletive deleted) “mosque of peace” is really all about!

"A popular figure in far-right and nationalist circles, Geller was last year banned from entering the UK by secretary Theresa May, where she planned to attend an EDL rally in Woolwich. May said her presence in the country "was not conducive to the public good"."

I think all the posters are already on the same page here. In light of the ongoing atrocities by ISIS in Syria and Iraq, the threats to Western Nations by ISIS, and the rapes of who knows how many young girls in England, this statement by Theresa May has to be something along the lines of black humor. Maybe someone here can come up with a better term but it portrays a woman who is Darwin caliber stupid.

ZeroHedge calls the ads “Shocking”.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3206207/posts

Shocking is what these jihadists are doing.

God bless and keep Ms Gellar for (continuously) sounding the alarm.
