New York City subway to host Muslim recruit campaign
Siraj Wahhaj has defended convicted would-be bombers and labeled FBI and CIA agents "real terrorists," according to a report by the New York Post. He is now attempting to convince New York City residents that Islam is a religion of peace by promoting advertisements for the Islamic Circle of North America. The campaign has been approved by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and is set to run four weeks in September during Ramadhan.
Wahhaj, a former member of the Nation of Islam, was named by U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White as one of 170 co-conspirators in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. He appears in a YouTube film for ads promoting "The Subway Project."
"In time, this so-called democracy will crumble, and there will be nothing, and the only thing that will remain will be Islam," Wahhaj said in a sermon.
The promotion video opens with a Quran passage stating, "Invite them to the way of your lord with wisdom and fair preaching."
Imam Wahhaj opens the video saying 4.9 million people ride New York City subways daily.
"That's a lot of people," he said. "I want you to think about those 4.9 million people. Imagine them seeing the name of Muhammad. Imagine them seeing the word Islam. Imagine them seeing the word hijab [modest dress]."
Simple black and white ads designed to immediately capture passenger attention state "Q: Prophet Muhammad?" or "Q: Islam?" or "Q: Head Scarf." The answer to all questions is "A: You deserve to know."

I think they omitted the second part of that passage, which reads
if they don't buy that, then cut their heads off.
