Metro installs pro-Israel ads that equate radical Muslims with
savages ABC TV
Metro in the process of installing a series
pro-Israel ads across the transit system Monday that equates Muslim radicals
with savages.
The pro-Israel ads read, “In any war between the civilized man and
the savage, support the civilian man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad.”
One ad will be posted in the Takoma, Glenmont,
Georgia Avenue and U Street Metro stations. They will be displayed by 5 p.m.
Monday, Metro spokesman Dan Stessel says.
“Everyone won't agree with it,” says Metro rider
Josephine Bremkpa. “It's going to incense people, make them want to react in
some kind of way.”
The Islamic advocacy group, CAIR, says is
planning to arrange for Metro ads promoting tolerance.
“It's designed to incite, it's designed to
provoke, it's designed to stigmatize American Muslims,” says Ibrahim Hooper of
CAIR.
Metro fought the ads, fearing they could spark
violence. But a federal judges ruled in favor of them, citing freedom of
speech.
U.S. District Judge Rosemary Collyer said in a
one-page opinion Friday that the advertisement must be displayed no
later than 5 p.m. on Monday.
The American Freedom Defense Initiative sued
last month for the right to display the ads in the Metro system.
Metro officials had delayed putting up the ads
up because of the violent reaction in the Middle East to the video the
"Innocence of Muslims," which denigrated the prophet Muhammad.
The posters, also up in New York and
San Francisco, have been covered with graffiti or had some words removed.
Fair and balanced? Notice that beekeeper and
Hamas-CAIR jihad spokesman, Ibrahim Hooper, is front and center, but no
spokesperson from AFDI. Hmmmm, did Hooper have his stomach staple removed?
