This is from the New York times. "Motown has no use for the anti-Muslim ads plastered across the sides of buses in New York City. Detroit's SMART bus system has rejected the button-pushing placards that read "Fatwa on your head? Is your community or family threatening you? Leaving Islam?" - and direct Muslims to a Web site urging them to leave the "falsity of Islam." "It's a purely anti-Muslim hate issue," Dawud Walid of the Council on American-Islamic Relations told the Detroit News on Friday. "The SMART bus company, or any bus company, should not be used to marginalize a minority group." Defenders of the ads, dreamed up by Manhattan-based right wing blogger Pamela Geller and the New York-based Stop the Islamization of America, say it's a free speech issue and they have sued. "Americans have a right to know the truth; Islam is a religion of intolerance and violence," said Michigan lawyer Richard Thompson, who filed the suit. "Christians, Jews and other non-Muslim minorities are persecuted in every country where Islam dominates." The MTA has not tried to remove the 40 ads, which Geller said cost her group $10,000 for a one-month run, because they do not violate agency advertising guidelines. In April, the Miami bus system at first rejected the ads but relented when Geller's group threatened to sue. A leader in the fight against the proposed mosque near Ground Zero who has Tea Party ties, Geller has been branded a bigot by CAIR and other groups. She also caused a stir in the right-wing blogosphere by videotaping a denunciation of Palestinian terrorists - while dressed in a bikini. In an interview with The Daily News, Geller said she didn't care if Muslims were offended by the ads. "Will it bother Islamic supremacists? Yes," she said.

I always thought it was in Christian lands where other religions were not tolerated but I guess I was misinformed. I wonder which Muslim country they are talking about where Jews are persecuted. I know Jews are persecuting people in Palestine and Christians have murdered millions of Muslims around the world. Christians have never been persecuted contrary to their own claims. --------------------- |
