PAMELA GELLER'S CONTROVERSIAL GROUP WINS IN COURT
Soon, you could see MTA buses in New York with the words "Killing Jews is Worship that draws us close to Allah" on the side. That's because a controversial pro-Israel group wants to run the ads—they show a man with a Palestinian keffiyeh covering his face alongside the aforementioned quote, which is attributed to "Hamas MTV," plus the slogan, "That's his Jihad. What's yours?"—and this week a federal judge decreed that the MTA must comply in order to abide by the First Amendment, Courthouse News reports. (There is no "Hamas MTV"; the ad is actually referencing a music video militants broadcast in the Gaza Strip.) The decision won't take effect for a month, in case the agency wants to appeal, the New York Times reports.
The pro-Israel organization in question is Pamela Geller's American Freedom Defense Initiative, which has previously brought us anti-Islam ads in New York and Chicago, ads comparing jihadists to "savages," and ads showing a plane about to hit the World Trade Center. (The Southern Poverty Law Center labels the AFDI a hate group, Raw Story notes.) The group sued the MTA after the "Killing Jews" ads were initially rejected. Though the MTA says it fears the ads could be seen as calling for harm to Jews, the judge noted that similar ads in Chicago and San Francisco in 2013 did not result in violence. The ad is a parody of the Council on American-Islamic Relations' "My Jihad" campaign, which seeks to frame jihad as a "personal struggle against sins or temptations" rather than holy war, the Washington Times notes.
Great. And I have an interview in midtown and I don’t even have a gun.
Thanks for posting. If you’re on Facebook, it’s worth “Liking” AFDI to follow their posts. You might also decide it is worth supporting the group financially. https://www.facebook.com/AFDInational?fref=nf
SPLC (pronounced “splick”) is @zzhole buddies with CAIR.
Last month CAIR warned Ted Cruz not to speak at a forum that included counterjihad author Robert Spencer. He went anyway, so CAIR is now a declared enemy. After all, their Koran tells them that “infidels” are property, and “disobedient infidels” are enemies of Islam who must be exterminated.
But their jihad will only create a positive backlash for Ted Cruz. Because most of us are sick of these people!
Good ruling, and good for Pamela Geller. Hopefully, she can spread this message to other cities.
Wonder how the judge would feel about a “Kill judges for justice” ad.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Not like Pam is making any of it up.
Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. CAIR has access to the inner circles of government, including FBI, State Dept. and the White House. If most of the US are sick of these people, how come the same government is still in power? Does the US still have representative government, or what?
This is a very bad decision!!! Some poor souls may not get the irony.
As the British would put it, “Difficult question, old man.”
Stone: A Random is hiding behind me, O Muslim. He has you in his cross hairs and you have one second to live.
Oh, dear. You offended the Muslim by saying “cross”.
;^)
Killing him would really offend him. He’d go to this place where there are 72 virgins, each one looking different from the other, and all of them making Helen Thomas look like a cheerleader. In desperation, he runs to the boys like pearls, and every last one looks like either Popeye, Bluto, or Jerry Lewis.
