The advertisement proclaims: “Islamic Jew Hatred: It’s in the Quran”. It features a photograph of a 1941 meeting between Adolf Hitler and Hajj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. Produced by the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), a pro-Israel non-profit organization that is behind the ‘Stop Islamization of America’ campaign. The ads will run on 84 buses operated by the South-Eastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) for the whole of April in order to comply with the federal court ruling that had rejected the transit agency’s objections regarding the installation of the politically and racially motivated provocative ads. The ads cost AFDI $30,000.
“SEPTA regrets any discomfort that may be caused from viewing these controversial messages during the weeks they will be displayed,” the Authority said in a statement. SEPTA’s new advertising policy now allows the authority to reject political advertising without violating the First Amendment.
Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter denounced the ads at a news conference. “We will not allow any misguided and opportunistic political tactics to undermine or obscure the shared respect among communities of faith, nor will we permit it to distract or disrupt our city as we prepare for a week in which we observe great religious traditions of Easter, Passover and other traditions that anyone else may enjoy,” Nutter said.
“It’s the antithesis of Islam to go berserk and cause destruction, violence and vandalism against SEPTA,” said imam Mikal Shabazz, of the Masjidullah Center for Human Excellence in nearby Germantown. Israel’s deputy consul-general in Philadelphia, Elad Strohmayer, added that Jews “shouldn’t support any hatred towards any religious group, whether it’s Jewish, Christian or Muslim, and we should stand together as a community against that”.
Freedom of speech gone mad, or special rules just for Muslims? Anti-Muslim Hitler Ads On Buses Spark Outrage http://t.co/AA96GhOeDp

The Zionists continue to spread hatred between Arabs & Jews. It’s time to proclaim:These people don’t speak for us! http://t.co/4C08oJPsuI

That is just outrageous! Just wrong on all levels. The world is not going to hell in a handbasket, it’s already there!
Bullsht. It’s true. What the ad says is true. There is jew hatred written into the Koran. The Koran requires their “abasement and poverty” in the form of the discriminatory jizya tax only Jews and Christians have to pay. In his “wrath” God has “cursed” the Jews and will turn them into apes/monkeys and swine and idol worshipers because they are “infidels”.
The standard Quranic reference to Jews is the verse [Quran 2:61].It says:
And abasement and poverty were pitched upon them, and they were laden with the burden of God’s anger; that, because they had disbelieved the signs of God and slain the Prophets unrightfully; that, because they disobeyed, and were transgressors.
But the Koran is always read in conjunction with the Hadith – here is a verse from the Hadith that has been incorporated into the charter of Hamas:
“The Day of Judgement will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Muslims, O Abdullah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (the Boxthorn tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews.”
(related by al-Bukhari and Muslim).Sahih Muslim, 41:6985, see also Sahih Muslim, 41:6981, Sahih Muslim, 41:6982, Sahih Muslim, 41:6983, Sahih Muslim, 41:6984, Sahih al-Bukhari, 4:56:791,(Sahih al-Bukhari, 4:52:177)
So the ads were TRUE.
So the TRUTH is “offensive”. Don’t shoot the messenger, reform the religion so it isn’t taken literally. Remove the actual offense.
SEPTA’S says it’s not limiting free speech to silence a political or religious voice. That is called censorship. They ARE giving special privlages to the Muslim community. I can attest for the Quar’an that it does give permission to hate any group or person not of Islam. And allows Muslims to lie in order to bring Sharia Law among all people.
This is outrageous and a total shame. Zionists don’t speak for true Jews, nor do they understand the values of true Muslims – remove Zionists from the equation and we have world peace.
You’re obviously not familiar with what the quran says about non-muslims who refuse to convert are you? Please pay attention to what groups like ISIS or Boko Haram et al are doing and study the quran and you will see that they are doing exactly as Mohammad commanded them.
well… they are actualy correkt. it realy is. read for you`reself. the Quran does have sura`s with anti-jewish propaganda. by mohammed himself.
Please learn to spell before replying to anything and trying to act educated. Do yourself that favor.
Prove it (Said by a Muslim)
Prove it. Show me the verses
Verse: 9:5 But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans (Ar: Mushrikiin) wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practice regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
THIS the the verse, translated correctly.
The first enemies of the Prophet (peace be upon him) were the polytheists(some of Them) that lived in Mecca and they wanted war against Islam. And what is meant by the verse is that, Muslims had to attack the ones that supported the anti-islamic polytheists before they got too much power. But if you read 9:4 you can see that they should only attack the ones that supported those, and leave the others in peace
Sorry for bad grammar, english is my 3rd language
You mean leave those who have submitted to Islam in peace. They are seen as dhimmis and up to 50% of EVERYTHING they earn or possess can be taken from them as a tax known as the Jizyah. In other words they are treated like slaves and we know how muslim slaves are treated dont we?
Pretty sure that if these were anti-jewish advertisements, they would never make it onto the buses let alone into court. This hypocrisy is just sad
Philadelphia…”City of brotherly love” …Ya
Prove it. Show me the verses
and how about jews? they dont even see non jews as humans. so why not put that on busses. all the big companies are controlled by jexs, they pose a bigger threat than some muslims thousands of kilometers away from your borders.
A bigger threat? yeah right. Haven’t seen any reports of them beheading people or cutting children in half or raping women or singling the Christian students out from the muslim students and executing them.
I’m surprised that nobody has taken pamella geller to court for slander. That should settle it for a city where almost a quarter of the citizens are Muslims. spoken as a half Jewish muslim.
Clarion and it’s funders should be exposed – $46 million spent on this hate campaign so far.
There are 1.7 billion muslims, it will be more everyday. So be good to each other. We play the game they want us to play. N.W.O.
If muslims were bad then what will do 1.7 bill people?
The NWO people are bad.
Q. Why people love Iśľâme? A. It teaches you to put a gun against a non-môślem and make him accept Iśłâme, if he doesnt, kill him and rape his wife.
