In a move that is certain to further escalate already stretched racial tensions in America's most cosmopolitan city, some 100 New York City buses will soon carry jarring anti-Islamic posters which feature photos of an ISIS beheading victim, his alleged executioner, Adolf Hitler, declare "Yesterday's moderate [Muslim] is today's headline" and proclaim "It's not Islamophobia, it's Islamorealism" as part of an "educational campaign." According to the NY Daily News, the ads, paid for by flame-throwing blogger Pamela Geller, at a cost of $100,000, are intended as an “education campaign” to warn of the “problem with jihad” and Islamic sharia law, Geller said.
Below are some of the ads which will soon grace 100 buses and at the entrances of the E. 59th St. station and the Columbus Circle station.

Normally a campaign like this would never be authorized ... but not now ... someones really really really wants us to get in yet another ME conflict
So we have to whip up some enthusiasm folks! Let's have a bus ad campaign! (Imagine this going on in the White House)
Islam is not a race.
Its Pamela Geller. She has more guts than just about anyone walking.
well nyc is a unique place. twintowers. big jewish presence. liberals who also had eyes opened to muslim terrorism and still wouid like to live.
I find this very hard to believe.
.
Well, it required to hate all races equally.
Just, some races it hates more than others.
Amazing what non controverial ads are labeled controversial.
Pamela Geller tried to run similar ads, a few years ago.
From the link....
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority admitted that the ads will offend public-transportation passengers but had no choice but to allow them.
It tried to block Geller several years ago when she wanted to post ads in the subway that labeled enemies of Israel as “savages.”
The MTA said the ads violated its “no demeaning” language policy. But a judge ruled that rejecting the ads violated Geller’s First Amendment rights.
What I don’t get is why ZH is calling the ads “shocking”. What the jihadists are doing is shocking.
Blessings to Ms. Gellar for investing in the truth.
Yeah, I know. But normally she gets tons of resistance
You find WHAT hard to believe? The fact that Muslims in the Balkans joined forces with the German Nazis? You don’t read much history, do you.
As others have said, what the jihadists do is shocking. Pointing it out shouldn’t be.
I fear that these buses are going to become some of the high profile targets ISIS and the rest of their contemporaries are looking for. For the drivers it’s surely a death sentence, and for the passengers and those close by, it’ll be random bad luck. This will get ugly.
I agree.
But think about this. Why is pointing that out now, suddenly, seemingly OK when before it wasn’t.
If are ignorant enough to not understand that islam has ALWAYS believed that another caliphate would occur then you better hurry up and do some learning.
If you are ignorant enough to not understand that the islamofacists want you dead because you do not submit then you better hurry up and do some learning.
And if you remain ignorant then pick up the phone Alex wants to chat
and by the way find out who Pamela Geller is and the fight she has been fighting for a very ling time before you decide that this is WH driven
” The fact that Muslims in the Balkans joined forces with the German Nazis? You don’t read much history, do you.”

For heaven’s sake—I wasn’t referring to that. I responded to Post #!.
Chill !

See my post #11....
There is no name calling in these ads, such as “savages” (they are). The new ads are fact based, not the “name calling” version used previously.
That’s the only reason I gathered, from the story at link, that’s caused MTA to accept the new ads.
