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.

Liberals are more offended that Muslims are called barbarians and jihadis when in fact Muslims are are barbarians and jihadis.

Averting one’s eyes to the truth doesn’t make it go away. Islam is a death cult, period.

“Shocking” describes people who continue to believe in the fiction Islam is the Religion Of Peace.

But denial is a part of human nature. We don’t want to acknowledge what we truly fear.

Yes. That, too. Denial of and the factual acts of these barbarians are both shocking.

“With us or against us...”

Those who are upset are on the wrong side of the issue.

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.

Offer Bary an MTV-UK lifetime achievement award for rapping and see if he shows up.

If a bus gets blown up in the middle of New York City because it displays an anti-jihad poster, then it’s Katy bar the door for any berobed or beturbaned muzzie in America. “Microaggressions” against the beard & burka crowd will skyrocket.

This isn’t Egypt, Pakistan, or the U.K. Here, the “infidels” have guns and the muzzies don’t have the numbers to riot with.

“Deus vult!”

What's “divisive” about the truth?
Fact: James Foley was a hostage of ISIS.
Fact: ISIS is an ISLAMIC terrorist organization.
Fact: James Foley was beheaded by an ISIS jihadist.

How is this “divisive”?

Then again, the islamists blew up two buildings on 9/11, and there wasn't much of a reaction here in the homeland (except for TSA patdowns of old women).

So I would expect more of the same under your scenario. And Obama and Holder would move swiftly to suppress any public unrest.

Here's the rule:

Angry protests against the police - encouraged!
Angry protests against islamists - forbidden!

The divisive ones here are the screaming subhuman headchoppers.

You could be right about regime crackdowns against protests against Islam (muzzies are a protected class).

Except......

1. That could produce a popular backlash (the so-called “Bubba Effect” especially in the South.

2. Most people have never set foot in a skyscraper building. But millions ride in buses. Knowing that public transportation is a muzzie target would bring the terrorist threat home to millions of people.

3. The ISIS atrocities are awakening more & more of us to the sheer fact that ISIS is not an aberration of Islam, but its full stinking flower in bloom. ISIS terrorists are not only Islamic, but the purest of Muslims according to the Koran.

4. Gun ownership & CCW’s are proliferating, not as a direct reaction to Islamic terrorism, but out of fear that the regime will start confiscating guns (which is exactly what Obamabots want to do, but have been stymied by that little speed bump known as the U.S. Constitution). The net effect upon domestic muzzie terrorism is the actualization of `Yamamoto’s nightmare’ (”there will be a rifle behind every blade of grass”).

5. Should every identifiable Muslim in America be regarded as a terrorist enabler/cheerleader? I’m not sure; they will have to answer that question.

I thought telling the truth was admirable, divisive or not.

Evidently some folks disagree.

Too bad.
