Anti-Islam Ads in New York Subway System Next Week
Local Editor
Anti-Islam advertisements will go up next week in the New York City subway system at the time protests are sweeping across the Muslim world over an anti-Islamic film made in the United States.
The campaign was created by the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), an organization considered a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center watch group.
Head of the campaign, a conservative blogger, Pamela Geller, who once headed a
campaign against an Islamic center near the 11 September 2001 attack site won a court order to post the ad in 10 subway stations on Monday.
The ad reads, "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support "Israel". Defeat Jihad."
Geller said she filed suit on Thursday in the US 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.
As early as next Monday, ten NYC subway stations will showcase the adverts.
