Shocking Anti-Islam Ad Campaign Coming To New York City Buses And Subways

DDD said:
No, not protests.

Anti-Israeli posters put on buses like these about Muslims? I do not ask for Anti-Muslim Hebrews putting up posters in main sites, thus no need to put Anti-Israeli posters made from Muslims also.

So, just Anti-Israeli posters.

I'm not certain what that means. Did you open the links?
 
DDD said:
Yes.

The second one had plenty of digital Anti-Israeli images, but none were on buses.

That's right. This is why I asked you to scroll down to the one on the bus. The collage was only used to demonstrate the overall history of these posters.
 
Grant said:
But they all believe in Mohammed and the Koran or they are not Muslims so that most have not harmed anyone is beside the point. Why can we not denigrate beliefs?

With all the harm Islam has done to women and children, and how it's leaders have impeded human progress, shouldn't we be critical of these religious beliefs from a moral standpoint?

You are free to criticize, but it is unlikely to be productive and can be counter productive if all it does is make people angry. Christians have done more violence than Muslims throughout history and the Bible contains as much advocacy of intolerance, oppression and violence as the Koran. Cruelty and Violence

Please don't try and deflect to Christians, Hindus, Shintos or whoever. Try to stick to the topic or just don't bother responding.

If you are afraid of Muslim reaction then you have about as much faith in them as most people.

Yes, I just noticed it. Thanks.

So this method of putting posters in buses is a Hebrew VS Muslim thing?

So why bring about the Jewish religion into this then?

No, it's an Israeli/Jew versus Muslim thing. 'Hebrews', as you will note, were not mentioned.

Look at the title of the thread. You appeared to want background and I gave it to you. Christians are not mentioned anywhere. It seems you are trying to kill this thread, right?

I looked at the thread but it is about Anti-Islam propaganda. It has nothing to do with the Jewish religion. Could we stay on topic please?

It is on topic. This poster you see advertised was a retaliation against earlier posters made by Islamic organizations. There was little fuss about the Islamic posters but, as we can see, a great todo about the Jewish response.

On what grounds does sequential (?) posting represents "retaliation?" Are the identities of posters known? Do these posters represent such parties and have acknowledged that this is done due to retaliation?
 
Grant said:
Read the thread and the history of Pamela Geller who placed the ad. You should know about the basics before you even enter debate. Pamela Geller, Atlas Shrugs | Covering the news the media won't cover.

The anti-Muslim site you provided does not provides answers to the question of: Why claim that these posters would be "retaliation" for previously anti-Hebrew posters?

It still seems like the site issued and this thread is about anti-Muslim propaganda awareness. Has nothing to do with Hebrews.

'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.'

Funny how progressives only bitch when it's anything BUT Islam that is questioned...

You do realize there have been plenty of anti-Christian ads. Correct???

Where the **** were you then?


Besides - welcome to the FIRST AMENDMENT.

I don't like anti-Christian ads either, but you can't really compare an anti-Christian ad in a country that is 70%+ Christian to an anti-Muslim ad in a country that is less than 1% Muslim. Christians are obviously not in any danger of government oppression, violence or anything else in this country. Muslims get discriminated against, harassed and demeaned in this country every day. Laws are constantly being passed to oppress Muslims and most of them have been physically assaulted because of their religion at least once. Trying to equate the two situations is pretty ridiculous IMO.

Actually it is Muslims who are murdering innocent people, including other Muslims, and suppressing human rights and freedoms.

The sad fact is that these people are not the brightest among earth's inhabitants, with very few exceptions, and this is reflected in most every aspect of their lives. They have not contributed much towards the betterment of mankind at all.

If you just openly admit that you're a bigot why would your views on the topic be of interest to anybody? That's like announcing that you failed every math class going back to the second grade and then following it up with a bunch of math advice...

Calling me a 'bigot' won't win you many debates. If you genuinely want to expose me as a bigot then why not prove me wrong? If you can't then my argument has greater credibility than yours.

I doubt what you claim is true. What evidence for those things can you point to?

What are you talking about? You flat out professed that you were a bigot. You said Muslims aren't bright and whatnot. You understand what bigotry is, right?

No, I understand that as fact.

Muslims are discriminatory against women, which is bigotry, they are discriminatory against Jews and Christians, which is bigotry, they are not allowing children an education, which is profound ignorance, they are slow in condemning those who commit terror against innocent people, which is akin to abetting terrorism, and they really have no intellectual class that doesn't surround the teachings of the Koran. In other words they are as I claimed. Pointing out bigotry and ignorance is not bigotry if it is demonstrated to be true.

However if you want to point out any positives about this 7th Century religion then please do so.

Well all bigots believe that their belief in the superiority or inferiority of an ethnic group is "fact." That doesn't mean they aren't bigots lol, that means they ARE bigots. If they didn't believe that stuff, they wouldn't be bigots.

You're babbling. I can provide evidence for everything I claimed. You called me a 'bigot' without any evidence at all and, of course, assumed your charge would stand because you never gave it much thought. I'm not surprised by this, nor even disappointed. I've come to expect it from the poorly educated rabble that is taking up so much space in the news recently..
