Trigger Warning

A New York judge has cleared the way for the following bus advertisement:

“Killing Jews is Worship that draws us close to Allah,” reads one such ad next to the image of a young man in a checkered headscarf. “That’s His Jihad. What’s yours?”

Mine is the struggle (the English word for one translation of “Jihad”) to keep a relatively free society relatively free, despite the depravity of some of its citizens.

Apropos not much.

  1. Speaking of passive aggressive –

    “This is a triumph for liberty and free speech,” tweeted Pamela Geller, the president of the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), the group that purchased the ads and sued the MTA to run them. “#freedom #victory #shariafail.”

    AFDI is a pro Israel group

  2. AFDI appears to be the Westboro Baptist Church of Judaism. I am always amazed at the time and money available to people who engage in nonsensical activities designed to spread discord and hate.

  3. ” . . . designed to raise awareness of discord and hate.”

    Fixed it for ya.

  4. My comment does not address in any way the issue of what is or is not true. I am sorry you were not able to discern that.

  5. I am sorry [I am such a poor writer that] you were not able to discern that.

    Fixed that for ya, too, so it doesn’t look as if you’re blaming the victim. No, no, thanks are unnecessary. Just doing my bit to help keep SITD a sensitive and caring place to share feelings.

  6. “I am always amazed at the time and money available to people who engage in nonsensical activities designed to spread discord and hate.”
    Hate, these days, is entirely a province of the Left. I have never heard a conservative say that a Muslim should be persecuted simply for being a Muslim.
    This full page ad appeared in the NYT in July of last year:

    No controversy.

  7. I have to admit that I have to agree with the defendants that the message could be misinterpreted in a tragic way. And regarding the “Jews kill Palestinian Children”, well, hasn’t that claim been through the leftist media for years now, often backed by MSM reports breathlessly ignoring the fact that the children killed were in an elementary school that just happened to have been used as an ammunition dump and rocket launch site?

    Regarding the group itself, the SPLC has wrongly attacked so many legitimate groups and people (e.g. Ben Carson) that they’ve really lost any credibility they may have had 20 years back.

    The question isn’t whether the statements made are incendiary, but rather whether they are true. And in a world where the Iranians are having yet another Holocaust denial contest…..I hate to say it, but Geller & company are kinda soft-pedaling what the Islamist world is saying.

  8. Jews Kill Palestinian Children

    Like al-Dura? Not only are you an Antisemitic soci@list braindead amoral filth, but a Pallywood propagandist as well. No backpedaling necessary – it is plainly clear you left your mask off – a Geobelsonian slip.
