Gathering support for a lost cause is often a challenging task. Usually, people tend to be smart enough to recognize a lie when they see or hear it. Today, a lot of people understand that Islam is nothing like the violent, demonic religion propagandists have made it out to be in order to swing public opinion in support of the war effort. This is why people like Pamela Geller are now turning to more aggressive means of spreading their propaganda, as if to wave their hands in the air and say "Hey! Remember me? Remember me? I'm still here. Remember..."
The anti-Islam propaganda campaign has turned to
buying advertisement space on subways in Washington D.C. Imagine that. People no longer believe the anti-Islam rhetoric, so Pam Geller will start pushing her ideas onto a new group of people.
An anti-jihad ad that has caused a stir in other cities now has another destination for its message: the subways of Washington.
The ad by the American Freedom Defense Initiative states, “In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad.”
If this was an actual government organization, we'd be in the full swing of the Islamocaust by now. But of course this is an independent organization so no one can stop them.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations, which is working with the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee and Jewish Voice for Peace, knows it can’t get the ads removed. Instead, the groups want the D.C. transit officials to help reduce the negative impact of the posters.
“With respect to your response in this matter, it is not our desire that (the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority) disallow advertisements that contain any political speech,” the Council on American-Islamic Relations said in a statement. “I do believe there are measures WMATA can take to mitigate the affect hate speech has on the community.”
These measures include working with organizations representing affected Muslim and Arab communities, placing disclaimers to show that the transit authority does not support the views of the ads, and providing free space for advertisements focused on promoting, understanding and tolerance, the Islamic group says.
I like CAIR's approach. They're actually working with other organizations to counter the ads, not shouting "Jihad!" and blowing people up. Ironically, anti-Islam propagandists will still point to the Middle East and use the Arab definition of Islam instead of CAIR's definition so that they can further their agenda of ethnic cleansing.
“The counter-ads are fine from a free speech standpoint,” Geller said. “But where were these groups countering ‘hate’ when the Fogel family was murdered in Israel? Or when the Chabad house was targeted for a bloody jihad attack in Mumbai? Or when Christians are persecuted on an increasingly frequent and violent basis in Egypt, Pakistan, Indonesia and elsewhere?”
Geller, where were you when
Israel killed Rachel Corrie? Where were you when a
non-Muslim plotted to blow up forty-eight churches in the United States? Where were you when
Anders Breivik killed over seventy people because he hated Muslims? If you want to use that argument against us, I can bring a lot more evidence forward to show you that these same people you are supporting are guilty of acts of terrorism just as bad as Arab terrorist groups, so your argument actually has no ground.
Authorities in Oklahoma have arrested and charged a 23-year-old man who they say planned to blow up 48 area churches.
Gregory Arthur Weiler II was arrested last week at a motel in Miami, Oklahoma, according to Ben Loring, first assistant district attorney for Ottawa County.
Authorities were tipped off to the plot by workers at the motel about 90 miles northeast of Tulsa. One discovered a duffel bag full of Molotov cocktails near the outside trash, while a room service employee reported suspicious items in Weiler's room, said Loring.
How conveniently these people ignore these other incidents! Instead of the foiled plan to blow up FORTY-EIGHT churches, another terrorist in New York, who has an Arab name, gets all the media attention for
attempting to blow up a government building with ONE bomb.
Federal authorities running a sting operation arrested a 21-year-old Bangladeshi man, who came to the U.S. on a student visa and was allegedly planning to blow up the Federal Reserve Bank of New York with what he believed was a 1,000-pound bomb, officials said.
Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis was detained Wednesday after an alleged attempt to detonate the device, which was inert and part of an elaborate investigation by federal authorities and NYPD detectives.
Prosecutors say Nafis was apparently motivated by al Qaeda and traveled to the United States in January under the pretext of attending college in Missouri in order [to] carry out "a terrorist attack on U.S. soil" and to recruit members to form a terrorist cell.
It's not clear whether Nafis maintained al Qaeda ties, but authorities say he apparently claimed that the plot was his own, and that it was his sole motivation for the U.S. trip.
Practically everyone has heard of this latest attempt to blow up a government building, but almost no one has heard of the other man's plot. Sound familiar? This is an example of the clear bias in media coverage as well as public opinion. Pam Geller will ever so elegantly turn a blind eye to the attempted church bombings and point at one single Arab to call Islam a terrorist's religion, when she's hesitant to call Israel's government terrorism as well for killing Corie and then disclaiming all accountability.
The good news is, it is becoming clear that Geller's message is starting to fall on deaf ears thanks to CAIR and Muslims in the United States no longer hiding behind shuttered blinds. If she has to go as far as posting ads on subways denouncing Islam, then her message is indeed in a very dire state.
