NEW YORK — A Muslim group, in collaboration with a Brooklyn imam once investigated as a possible co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, paid $48,000 to run Islamic advertisements on the city's subway cars this September.
The ad campaign — known as the "Subway Project" — was designed to inform people about Islam and dispel common misconceptions about the religion, a representative for the Islamic Circle of North America told FOXNews.com. The story was first reported Monday in the New York Post.
But the effort to plaster 1,000 subway cars with pro-Islamic messages has given new life to the controversy that has surrounded the radical imam, Siraj Wahhaj, who is promoting the campaign.
Wahhaj was once listed by prosecutor Andy McCarthy as an unindicted person who may have been an alleged co-conspirator in the deadly 1993 terror bombing of the World Trade Center.
The imam appeared recently in a YouTube video praising the Subway Project's objective. In the video, Wahhaj says: "Every day in this city, some 4.9 million people ride the subways ... Imagine them seeing the word Muhammad. Imagine them seeing the word Islam ...This is one of the greatest projects I've ever seen."

The black-and-white ads are set to come in pairs asking "Q: Prophet Muhammad?" or "Q: Islam?" with the answer "A: You deserve to know," according to the New York Post.
These people are as bad as the homosexuals in their need for acceptance.
This is the person who is going to dispel myths....? Very doubtful.
I don’t think they have any need of acceptance. I think it is part of their plan to take over. They want the whole world following islam.
They don't want acceptance. They want to use America's natural good nature against us to prevent us from fighting until they are powerful enough to just use open force.
(designed to inform people about Islam and dispel common misconceptions about the religion, )
The only misconceptions too many Americans still have aboput Islam is that it is not the biggest single threat to the Nation since Hitler......
“These people are as bad as the homosexuals in their need for acceptance.”
I much prefer the gays. They don’t have a proclivity to blow things up and to riot over cartoons, etc.
I wish someone with a lot of money would run an ad campaign to show what Islam teaches - in the prophets own words..
Sura (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution of Muslims is worse than slaughter of non-believers...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah."
Sura (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"
Sura (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"
Bukhari (52:177) - Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."
Tabari 7:97 The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared,"Kill any Jew who falls under your power."
Ibn Ishaq: 327 - “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”
