‘Jihad’ ad in New York subway could spark more protests

Share:

A provocative ad that equates some Muslim radicals with savages is set to go up next week in the New York City subway system, just as violent protests in the Middle East are subsiding over an anti-Islamic film ridiculing the prophet Muhammad.

A conservative blogger who once headed a campaign against an Islamic center near the Sept. 11 terror attack site won a court order to post the ad in 10 subway stations on Monday. It reads, “In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad.”

In this undated photo provided by Pamela Geller, an example of an advertisement that equates foes of Israel with ?savages? is shown. Geller, the anti-Islamic blogger behind the ad campaign, said she is not concerned that the advertisements could spark protests when they appear at 10 New York City subway stations on Sept. 24, 2012.

The ad was plastered on San Francisco city buses in recent weeks – prompting some artists to deface the ads and remove some of the words, including “jihad.” The blogger, Pamela Geller, said she filed suit Thursday in the nation’s capital to post the ad in Washington’s transit system, after officials declined to put up the ad in light of the uproar in the Middle East over the anti-Islam film.

Abdul Yasar, a New York subway rider who considers himself an observant Muslim, said Geller’s ad was insensitive in an unsettling climate for Muslims.

“If you don’t want to see what happened in Libya and Egypt after the video – maybe not so strong here in America – you shouldn’t put this up,” Yasar said.

But “if this is a free country, they have the right to do this,” he said. “And then Muslims have the right to put up their own ad.”

    These are the work of Iranian and Syrian regime along with their buddy Israel to divert the attention from the Syrian Genocide. Please note that the people who are organizing this protest are not at all concerned about the autrocitis of the Assad regime with the aid of Iran and Hezbushaitan. 

    These majoosis control the event from both side , they create such environment by using their tool like that of Morris Sadek who made that film and then the Majoosi give fatwa and organize violent protest as they did in Lebanon by burning tire. 

    Our concern should be about the Syrians who are suffering from this evil majoosis and their buddy Israel. Pamela Geller is happy to whitewash the crime of Bashar and the Majoosi Mullahs in Syria. This are the signs that Israel and Iran work together for their common interest.

        Mohamed or Michael in he USA, Wargame is basically saying most likely this movie instigaged by Iran and Syria in order to divert attentions from Syria savagery against its people and Iran Nuclear weapons. Also I am sure Israel is happy to show how these muslims attackers act like savages and it help boost their image amongst the western world. The movie was out in July. So why noone protested then?? Iran kept pushing the movie forward to the islamic world in order to incite them against the west and most likely the US. look how much attention is being diverted?? Iran is the devil and when Mursi went there to tell the world that he supported the FSA, Iran changed it to Bahrain.. Also in Egypt there are conflicts between Muslims Brotherhood and Salfist Sunnis.. The Salfist want to embarrass Mursi..Look at the muslims world it got them closer together of course. i am against any denigrations of any religion period. I know from living close to muslims Prophet Muhamed is a touchy subject and they would turn on me if i spoke my mind. so i stay off it and I let God be the judge. But to be honest even before these attacks against the prophet and islam in general. The way the muslims world represent itself by advocating killings and hate and marrying more than one woman. the burning and killing of christians in Nigera, Egypt, Iraq and Indonesia and other countries.. And hardly or mere words from few mulims leaders of condemnations.. what do they really expect the west to view them? change yourself and everybody else will change. I am not saying all muslims like that.. there are many honorable muslims and even many who are religious. Many so called christians uses God to pray on innocent people. many have justied killings too. but muslims scholars need to wake up and educate the people about tolerance and if they have deep convictions of their beliefs then no need to even bother with these silly attacks against the Prophet.

    The most threatening event for Israel is the Fall of Assad regime as they share the border they know that its a natural instinct for the Sunnis to demand the occupied Golan Height and certainly they will then directly challenge the illegal occupation of the Israelis in Palestine. 

    Assad is falling faster than was expected. The Next to fall is Hezbushaitan who are guarding the Israeli border from any resistance attack. So now is the time they will try to kill as much sunnis as they can with aerial bombing and possibly chemical weapon but they need to do it in a chaotic environment where they will make the world busy with this  anti Islam movie cartoon and protest, counter protest. So the newspaper headlines will change and only talk about this nonsense. We will see more such desperate attempt by Iran and Israel to save their Stooge in Syria. 

    Well the plan is cunning but the Syrian Mujaheddin are prepared and Allahs help is sufficient for them.No doubt many many Sunnis will be killed but the remaining small group of Mujaheddin will be sufficient to punish the wrongdoer Inshallah.

    Thanks to the publicity the “savages” (what else can you call them?) who attacked and burned embassies, killing personnel who never heard of the z-class “offensive” movie, gave to idiots like Nakoula, every moron in the world looking for some fame comes up with more and more offensive work.
    The solution: don’t pay them any attention!

      Their ultimate leader is Islam’s alleged prophet: the man who assigned himself a messenger from God and changed his name to mohammad. His original name was not mohammad, as this word and the word mahmoud are given to the creator, i.e. the one who “nahmuduhu”, God. Yes, this man, and his strict followers, are the mobilizers of the masses and dangerous to peace and stability.
