Boston launches poster campaign to combat Islamophobia
Fox News ^ | July 18, 2017

Posted on 07/19/2017 7:25:57 AM PDT by Zakeet

Boston has launched a new public service campaign to fight Islamophobia by offering the public ways to address aggression toward others because of their appearance or beliefs.

The campaign launched Monday involves 50 posters that provide a step-by-step guide to handling when someone is being harassed. They will be posted on bus stop benches and other public places around the city.

Titled "What to do if you are witnessing Islamophobic harassment," the posters encourage people to engage with the person who is being targeted and to draw attention away from the harasser. The technique is called "non-complementary behavior," and is intended to disempower an aggressive person by countering their expectations.

Step (5) Sit close enough to the terrorist that your body absorbs most of the blast, saving the lives of your fellow travelers.

How about posters that read
“Decapitation is usually a quick death!”
or
“Being analy raped then murdered like an Arab goat is a better fate than marriage to a SJW bitch”

There’s a name I haven’t heard for awhile.

People? Article doesn’t say anything about people. The City of Boston is doing this, not any people, silly.

(please excuse the snark)

I have never seen this situation ever take place on the T. I wonder if they’ll show real harassment that takes place every day. The drunk yelling and harassing everyone on the train. The punks who where just discharged from Quincy District Court harassing girls as they enter the station. The mentally ill passenger yelling and threatening everyone on the train. The high school students just let out of school fighting with each other.

Cracks me up that the “kuffar” female is asking the Muslim woman if she likes movies. What kind of modern American movies do they think a Muslim would enjoy seeing?

The crazy jumps right out. Might as well ask her where she likes to shop for summer clothing - shorts and tank tops and stuff.

It's not the straw man bullies on the propaganda material who are the ones out murdering people.

Perhaps the do-gooder on the poster should be offering cards with the local domestic abuse hotline number.

And I guess the Boston Marathon bombings, maiming and killings would be off limits also.

Imagine this in Boston of all places. Next up - NYC - just a couple of airplanes there and one in PA and DC that lost their way one beautiful fall day in 2001....

***Liberals use the word “phobia” a lot***

A better word ( I learned it from a FReeper) is ISLAMOMISIA, a revulsion of all things islamic.

Same for Homophobe. Homomisia is a better description.

Just FYI for those unfamiliar with Boston: the city's latest semi-literate Mayor,Marty Walsh,is currently under investigation by the Feds regarding his activities as a union thug before being elected.

That,and this moslem thing,will give you an idea of just how far into the cesspool the city has slipped.

The final panel in the feel-good guide should be the poor muslime woman showing her gratitude to her rescuer ... by urinating on her dismembered corpse.

” the posters encourage people to engage with the person who is being targeted and to draw attention away from the harasser.”

Hello, may I set here? Nice day. Is that a baby bump I see under that Klan outfit or you wearing a suicide belt?

Indeed.

YEARS ago, before 9/11, I attempted to engage a veiled woman in conversation as I sat in the seat next to her on the MBTA. She sneered at me and changed her seat.

Uh...OK.
