John, just the kind of Muslims I had in mind. The hate-generating, violent, bigoted screaming heads of the Arab world. Lets get some with the rags wrapped totally around their heads, with eyes out like ski masks, with AK-47s and grenades. Islam -- the religion that loves to hate.

Perfect! When I saw those hands, I thought of either a rifle or a guitar, sort of like the famous Lee Harvey Oswald/Jack Ruby musical band image.

Every Sunday, when I watch NFL "Full Ticket" from 1 to 7 est, there is at least one of those "diversity" ads.

Gimme a break, can't the multiculturalist propagandists even leave sports alone?

Most of the so called "hate crimes" against Muslim Arabs in the U.S. were said to be verbal, and in some cases, hostile looks. Will Americans now be jailed for "reckless eyeballing"?

>They never play these ads here.

Here's a link to the ad campaign.
http://www.adcouncil.org/fr_camp_current.html

Arab-American Institute
Following the tragedy, many Arab and Muslim Americans became the targets of discrimination and violence. In order to prevent more hate crimes and to unite our country, the Arab American Institute communicates that hate is not the solution to hate. Attorney General John Ashcroft, Senator John McCain, pop-singer Mandy Moore, and Dr. Frances Berry, Chair of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, voice their own words of anti-discrimination in the new radio PSAs. Created by volunteer advertising agency Brokaw, the print ad features blocks of typed words in the shape of the World Trade Center towers set against the New York skyline, "Will hate bring it all back." Each PSA encourages victims of hate crimes to report the incidents to the Civil Rights Commission's hotline at 1-800-552-6843. Sonic Ignition produced the radio spots.

Can these ads be any worse than the post-9/11 "I am an American" commercials put out by the Ad Council? These ads were dripping with attitude, and were not done in a patriotic vein (although I will admit to enjoying the babe in the stars n' stripes bikini!).

That picture of Powell speaks for itself...............he has functioned like pro-Arab stooge for quite some time, now we know he doesn't represent American interests.
