It took nearly twelve years, but we did it. My organization, the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), has just won an important victory for the freedom of speech.
Back in 2009, the Detroit area's SMART transit refused to run our AFDI ads offering help to people who were in fear for their lives for wanting to leave Islam or having left it. After an incredibly protracted court battle, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals just stood up for the First Amendment and completely reversed the judgment banning our ads. It's a total victory for freedom: we won our free speech lawsuit in Detroit by a unanimous decision.
Our ad read: "Leaving Islam? Fatwa on your head? Is your family or community threatening you? Got Questions? Get Answers! RefugefromIslam.com." That's all it said. It offered a life-saver for those who were completely and utterly alone with no system of support or help.
Islamic law mandates death for those who leave Islam; even in the United States, those who leave the religion live in fear that a devout Muslim might decide to apply this penalty.

Is anyone surprised that the left loves islam?
The Jews ran banner ads, protesting Islam, on buses many years ago. No doubt related to this issue.
Islam is a war plan. Fact.
Everything they hate about their fictionalized version of Christianity - controlling, patriarchal, anti-science, violent, anti-women's rights, etc, etc - is turned up to eleven in Islam. If they had any internal consistency they would be fighting against Islam. But they see "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" and that Islam is a useful tool for destroying society as it is. Ironically, Islam sees the American left the same way - a tool to be used for destruction and then destroyed later.
They don’t know anything about it
Congratulations to Pamela Geller, a true heroine of our civilization.
The other side subscribes to the “speech is free for me, not for thee” mentality.
The left’s affiliation with Islam can only be of the-enemy-of-my-enemy sort. Kind of like feminists and LGBT. At some point they will be in conflict, and they know it. I wonder what they have planned for each other.
“Congratulations to Pamela Geller, a true heroine of our civilization.”
And pretty hot in her younger days! Actually, still hot for a geezer like me!
Pamela Geller is a heroine. She deserves all support.
And she's completely fearless. She's been under a muslim fatwa of death for many years. They sent two murderers to behead her at one of her conferences several years ago in Garland, Texas, but the police took care of them. Has this stopped her? No. Fearless.
Perhaps they’ll “allow” homos to leave homoism with counseling, now.
