Pro-Muslim Subway Ads to Hang Near Anti-Jihad Ads

Striking back against an anti-jihad advertisement in the subways widely perceived as anti-Muslim, two religious groups – one Jewish, one Christian – are taking out subway ads of their own to urge tolerance.

Rabbis for Human Rights – North America and the group Sojourners, led by the Christian author and social-justice advocate Jim Wallis, are unveiling their campaigns on Monday. Their ads will be placed near the anti-jihad ads in the same Manhattan subway stations, leaders of both groups said and transit officials confirmed. The groups said their campaigns were coincidental.

The ad by Rabbis for Human Rights turns the language of the earlier ad, placed by a pro-Israel group, on its head. The original ad says, “In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat jihad.” The ad by Rabbis for Human Rights says, “In the choice between love and hate, choose love. Help stop bigotry against our Muslim neighbors.”

“We wanted to make it clear that it is in response to the anti-Islam ad,” said Rabbi Jill Jacobs, executive director of Rabbis for Human Rights, whose members include rabbis from all streams of Judaism.

Yes, bow to Islam, the Religion of Death. It looks like John Daniels book, THE COMING: A TRUE STORY OF HORROR at amazon.com is coming true!

I would advise ignoring anything said by Jim Wallis.

  Isn't Jim Wallis Obama's "spiritual adviser"?

It is truly a battle between love and hate. Christians do their work through GOD who is the author of love, GOD Created the universe and put everything here that we would ever need. He put mankind here and gave us the right to choose. We have done a very sorry job by our choices. We have turned HIS offerings of LOVE into disaster through our hate and greed. As Christians strive day by day to do the best we can to follow HIS instructions, there is this other faction who is doing all in it's power to over come and own everything in this universe, in the opposite way that GOD planned it… Their plan is to get rid of all of HIS people and rule by the rules of GOD'S enemy, Satan.

HE WILL OVERCOME, IT IS HIS PLAN

  Constitutionally oposing ads like these should be shown together so people can read all sides of the issue. That would be true discussion in love, but as Evermyrtle states there is a faction dedicated to destroying love and desiering to put all people under their dominance. They are unwitting tools of the devil because they are brain washed to think that only they have the truth. The truth is in God's Word, the Bible. If that faction's actions lead to their injury and/or death they have only themselves to blame. God may use some of his people to exact this punishment. Pray that God's will is done and that people will wake up to what this faction really stands for.

Apparently it is now racist to stand with your own people and do the right thing.

Only a liberal could agree with such rubbish.

Are there any who still believe that islam is a peaceful religion?

Muslims don't care how we think or believe. THEY want us to believe the way THEY do. I find it interesting that THEY want to push their religious beliefs on the world but don't try to push
yours on them. Since it is a Satanic religion ruled by Satan and influenced by Satan and many possessed by demons they can't think beyond their own cursed mentality. The only thing they will respect is force against their powers.

As believers in Jesus Christ, our greatest weapon is Bible Doctrine and prayer.

Jeremiah 17:5 -Thus says the LORD, “Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength, and whose heart turns away from the LORD.
