Anti-jihad 'savage' ads going up in NYC subway

A provocative ad that equates Muslim radicals with savages is set to go up in the city's subway system as violent protests over an anti-Islamic film ridiculing the Prophet Muhammad sweep over much of the Muslim world.

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 next Monday. The ad reads, "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad."

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," or holy war. 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.

    Support Israel? Why not support ourselves? We are a conquered people now – just pawns in other people's battles.

    • PBrenda

      She means support Israel who is in lots of trouble and is (was?) an ally, rather than support jihad and the radical muslims……hmmmmm……it's a no brainer to the vast majority of Americans

    I've no problem with this advert; the jihadist mujadeen are enemies and should be exterminated like the sub human vermin they are.

    A very accurate history and forecaster of the future book centers on Israel. Five nations WILL attack Israel causing some problem for Israel. I believe that America will sit on it's hands. Then the kicker: five out of six who attack Israel will DIE. The sixth part will be driven into Siberia. Israel will be six months in burying the dead attackers. At that point truth will be revealed and those on the left will have to shut the **** up, including those in "do nothing right" America.
    We have a congress that will not impeach a treasonous leader. They are Not worth the salt in their bread.

      I think we have access to the forcast of the new history but we won't get it from the U.S. media. below is a simple and clear example.
      Iran has been using civilian aircraft to fly military personnel and large quantities of weapons across Iraqi airspace to Syria to aid President Bashar Assad in his attempt to crush an 18-month uprising against his government, according to a Western intelligence report. On Wednesday, US Senator John Kerry threatened to review US aid to Baghdad if it does not halt the over-flights. The Intelligence report say Iranian weapons have been flowing into Syria via Iraq in large quantities. "Planes are flying from Iran to Syria via Iraq on an almost daily basis, carrying IRGC (Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps) personnel and tens of tons of weapons to arm the Syrian security forces and militias fighting against the rebels." The intelligence report alleges the extent of such shipments is far greater than has been publicly acknowledged, and much more systematic, due to an agreement between senior Iraqi and Iranian officials. Kerry said he was alarmed US efforts thus far had not persuaded Baghdad to halt the over-flights, and suggested the United States could in the future make some of the hundreds of millions of dollars in assistance it gives to Iraq contingent on their cooperation on Syria. "It seems completely inappropriate that we're trying to help build democracy, support them, put American lives on the line, money into the country, and they're working against our interest so overtly." (Ha’aretz News papers) – Pray Western officials will comprehend clearly that Islamic nations, regardless of their internal political struggles, are simply not interested in establishing democracies such as are known in the US and Europe.

    Let’s make sure we keep the statement, "Nobody robs, rapes,
    torturers and kills more Muslims than other Muslims" limited to the Middle
    East stats. If we allow it to happen here, they will do it hear including other races because their history tells us so.

    Mullah Obama campaigns and celebrates his latest successes – bringing Al Qaeda to power in Libya and Egypt, losing Iraq and Afghanistan wars, organizing and financing the gigantic vote fraud machinery, putting 50% of population on government dole, massive nationalizations of private industries, enforcing internal subversion by affirmative action, multiculturalism, inclusiveness, hate speech, equal pay, and other unconstitutional communist laws…

    When you have a rabid dog in your midst…. there really isn't any alternative but to put it out of its misery. No place in a civilized society for diseased, vicious dogs is there?

    We need to pay attention and read between the lines of Middle East subject speech speach and what it really means. The Security
    Council on Thursday now knows that time is running out for negotiations over
    Iran's nuclear program, but stopped short of drawing the red lines that Israel’s
    PM Binyamin Neteanyahu has demanded. The West “will not engage in an endless
    process of negotiations that fail to produce any results,” US Ambassador Susan
    Rice said at a Security Council meeting on Iran sanctions. “We must therefore
    remain clear and united in seeking resolution of the international community’s
    concerns regarding Iran’s nuclear program. Time is wasting.” Three rounds of
    negotiations since April between Iran and the P5+1, the US, Russia, China,
    France, Germany and Britain have led nowhere. French Ambassador Gerard Araud
    said that while the West was asking Iran to negotiate, “Iran is not
    negotiating.” Rice, in an NBC interview on Sunday, came out against setting red
    lines, saying the US “bottom line” is that Iran will not acquire a nuclear
    weapon “and we will take no option off the table to ensure that it does not
    acquire a nuclear weapon, including the military option.” Rice added there was
    still “time and space for the pressure we are mounting, which is unprecedented
    in terms of sanctions, to still yield results.

    Might this type of unreality fall
    under the category of “loving and believing a lie” spoken. Meanwhile
    Iran’s nuclear weapons program keeps forging ahead, doubtless accompanied by a
    lot of snickering behind the scenes.

    Obama is a Communist and he is a Hitler and is following the battle plan that Hitler wrote down in his book "Mein Kampf". Obama is also like Stalen.
    The one thing he is not is "Born in The United States of America.
    Obama si the sorrest pice of trash that has ever been elected President. And he is president in name only.
    The USA does not have a president.

    • Sam

      Obama is also a Muslim. That is why he does nothing about Iran and he will do nothing about the attacks on our embassies. He just sent Egypt and Libya more money. This is what obama thinks of America. He is the worst piece of trash in the White House we have ever seen. Read J. Edgar Hoover's "Masters of Deceit" and you will see that the communist party and obama's party work the same way. Yes, he is a communist. What is worse than a Marxist Muslim for a president? I don't know…

  • SoonerAlfie

    "A provocative ad that equates Muslim radicals with savages…"
    Of course they are savages – uncivilized man running amok. Rioting, destroying and killing. Anyone with eyes can see the hundreds of images on television that SHOW them as savages. Truth is never provocative … Twisting the truth is.

  • urbisoler

    It's still the same old story.
    A fight for love and glory,
    a case of do or die.
    The world will always have these violent episodes. It is human nature.
    The last century it was Fascism. Then it was Communism.
    Now it is militant Islamism. Who knows what's next?!
    It is the Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse making their appointed rounds.
    All we can do is what the boy scouts have been telling us for years -
    BE PREPARED !!!

  • Wayne

    If Radical Muslim Jihad is NOT Islam, then what's the problem with calling it "savage"? It is.
    All sincere "real" Muslims should be the first to condemn them!
    Savage is what savage does, and to defined it is to condone it.
    Muslims of the world, now is the time to make a choice.
    Are you savage, or are you a religion of peace.
    Show us the peace.

    Join in calling radical Jihadism what it is, "They are Infidels!"
    Don't wait until the radicals call on you to chose their side.
    You know that day is coming and then it will be too late.
    If you don't put Radical Jihadists in their "Infidel" place, they will cause you to join them or die. Wake up all you wonderful Muslims.
    Where is your courage?
    Where is your faith in Allah?
    Show us the peace.
    Show us the peace.

    • mallen11

      I agree but the Muslims fear death from Muslims and will not speak out. They are all taught to hate anyone who is not a muslim and if -0 gets elected again their cells of mosque will break out against us here in our own country.

  • mallen11

    I was happy to see those ads go up and they should be plastered all over this country; on buses, subways, train strations, airlines, billboards; everywhere people can see it.

  • Sam

    We have to stand up against the radical Islamics. They are trying to bring on their caliphate where they go out and force everyone to convert or be killed. That is what these attacks are about. The radicals will have to be destroyed because they cannot be changed. Their souls are poisoned. We need to crush the 300 Iranian uranium enrichment plants now. This would be a huge show that we are not going to take their crap. Every time they kill an American, we kill 100 of their people. Eventually, they will stop or cease to exist.

  • Stateville1991

    Hmm…Way To Go! Every single American should 'fight' this ridiculous 'non-issue' of 'insulting those poor Muslims! I say: Every single American should make it a 'point' to state their case verbally; or, in any other First Amendment way, just to 'piss off' Muslims everywhere!
    I'd like to see an 'Adertisement' that states: OBAMA 'TWEETS' IN FARSI. LOL….

  • Stealth

    But…it takes brave people to actually fight…

  • BohdanUke1

    Pamela, that's great and very brave.

  • Mr Lucky

    You people should stop talking all bad! You're not going to do anything about anything except run your mouths! Now be quiet and go back to sleep!
