New Anti-CAIR Subway Ad Featuring Burning World Trade Center & Koranic Verses Set to Launch

Oct. 15, 2012 12:21pm Billy Hallowell

Activist and blogger Pamela Geller’s subway and bus ads likening Islamic radicals to “savages” have created quite a stir. After battles with the transit authorities in both New York City and Washington, D.C., judges have ruled in Geller’s favor, stating that her group, American Freedom Defense Initiative, has a First Amendment right to post the controversial ads. While the dust is finally settling on the initial campaign, the activist is preparing to launch another, potentially more controversial ad blitz — one that includes an image of the World Trade Center up in flames and two controversial verses from the Koran.

On Sunday, Geller shared her new poster and an explanation of its purpose (it’s a response to a new ad being put out by the Council on American-Islamic Relations) with TheBlaze. Much like Sojourners, Rabbis for Human Rights and United Methodist Women, CAIR also launched an ad decrying Geller’s anti-jihad campaign.

The CAIR ad will be 16 feet by 9 feet and will read, “Show forgiveness, speak for justice, avoid the ignorant.” This verse, which can be found in the Koran, will be placed in the same Washington, D.C. subway stations where Geller’s first ad is currently up.

“We hope to expand this anti-hate campaign in the nation’s capital and throughout the nation,” CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad said in a statement. “We need the community’s help to challenge the growing propaganda campaign of anti-Muslim hate in our society with positive messages of what Islam is and who we really are.”

Geller, of course, is ready to take these new ads on with a message of her own aimed back at CAIR.

“Hamas-linked CAIR has unveiled a new ad campaign to ‘counter’ our anti-jihad displays in Washington,” Geller said in an e-mail to TheBlaze. “CAIR’s…ads feature an abrogated verse from the Quran. Apparently they are panicking that people are waking up and questioning the jihadic doctrine, inspired by our historic and widely viewed ad campaign.”

Taking a page from CAIR’s own book, Geller’s group has decided to create a new ad, which features the startling image of the World Trade Center in flames (a plane can be seen heading toward one of the structures) and two verses from the Koran.

Painting a strong contrast from the message of forgiveness that CAIR posted, these verses read, “Slay the idolaters wherever ye find them” and “Those who disbelieve our revelations. We shall expose them to the Fire. As often as their skins are consumed. We shall exchange them for fresh skins that they may taste the torment.”

This new ad seems to up the ante on the debate surrounding free speech and blasphemy — issues that have been discussed widely following an anti-Islam film that gained widespread media attention. Geller’s previous ads were much more vague, with each including the following message: “In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man.”

In her e-mail to TheBlaze, she further explained the controversial messages and imagery present on her new ad.

“Citing the quran? That’s a brilliant idea. It’s a wonderful way to educate millions of Americans on what is in that book and why so many are waging jihadist wars across the world,” she said.

And for those hoping that these ad campaigns come to an end in the near future, Geller also said that she hopes to make this new campaign part of an ongoing series that showcases each verse she believes calls for jihad. This new ad has already been submitted to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority.

Ms Geller regularly updates her websites, and includes recommended movie links in her Saturday emails. Movie picks typically better than pap on broadcast.

The “Holy Quran?” There is NOTHING holy about the quran (lower case q used for emphasis).

People! To quote our one of FOUNDING FATHERS (Thomas Jefferson) who had the quran published because “I want you to understand the insanity that comes from this book.” It was on the preface of his version. It is ISLAM and their excuse that started the war with American at its founding, hence the Marines and Navy? But to quote their book by their pedophile false prophet:
Qur’an 5:51—O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other.

Qur’an 9:29—Fight those who believe not in Allah . . .

Qur’an 9:73—O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them.

Qur’an 9:111—Surely Allah has bought of the believers their persons and their property for this, that they shall have the garden; they fight in Allah’s way, so they slay and are slain.

Qur’an 9:123—O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness.

Qur’an 47:35—Be not weary and fainthearted, crying for peace, when ye should be uppermost.

Qur’an 48:29—Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves.

Qur’an 98:6– Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the worst of creatures.

One has to wonder why the people at cair are getting so upset because Geller is simply quoting the koran…shouldn’t they be happy that their book is being advertized, free of charge to them? if it is so holy to them, why should they object to its publication? cair gets offended if someone speaks ill of islam…now they are getting offended because someone is quoting the koran? go figure…islam, the religion of the perpetually offended

This generation finds itself facing an enemy every bit a fanatical as the Japanese Imperial Army. They just don’t know it yet.

22 days until the Election. Now is about the right time to have the embedded terror cells widely-acknowledged to exist make their move- throwing the US into chaos, What better way to commit election fraud than while in the midst of chaos.

“quran” = deranged rantings of a criminally insane psychopath thieving, mass-murdering, rapist, slave owning, child molester, lying to his idiot sheep followers that he heard it from the Archangel Gabriel.

“hadiths” summed up as the life of muhammud in the “sunnah”, which is the brainwash material these 7th century demons use to pollute the minds of their spawn in the madrasas where they learn NOTHING but this insane bull$h!t. Ever wonder why US universities are so chock full of “foreign exchange” students from the middle east?

Their countries have NOTHING to offer their citizens, or the rest of civilized humanity except their oil, which they weren’t smart enough to exploit on their own. It took Western businesses to show these cretins how to drill and export. Once they run out, all they’ll have is sand. Let them eat it. NO MORE U.S. AID TO ANY OF THESE BACKWARD IDIOTS.

  @ BANNEDBYHUFFPO- Jesus said this about his followers:
  
  John 10:26-28 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
  
  27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
  
  28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
  
  He said this about the gentiles:
  
  Matthew 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Muslims are nothing to be afraid of, very few will try that stuff and if any try to do anything to you, you defend yourself like you do with anyone else. Gellar is just another religious hate monger like David Duke.

Pamela Geller, Ann Coulter, Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann, if there were more patriotic women like them, Hussein Obama wouldn’t be in The White House.

  @ BURNTHILLS- The Obama administration and the Muslim brotherhood must have already gotten to you. Less than 3000 people died on 9/11 and some of them were Muslims.

Freedon Defence Inititive, Atlas Shrugged.com, and Jihad Watch.org
Now, folks if you have money to donate to a cause, and you need a real cause that defends the American way of thinking, then these groups are deserving. It is they along with Pamela Geller that brought this to you.

Pamela Geller should run for political office. She seems to be one of the few people who realize the threat that the vile religion of Islam poses. Since the 7th century, Islam has been a cult of death and destruction, and it continues as such today. Islam is Hell on earth and Mohammad is the earthly incarnation of Satan.

The world will never know peace until Islam and all those who adhere to its’ murderous tenants are purged from the earth forever. A world without Muslims is a world at peace.
