Well, this certainly won’t build the kind of dialogue that the WTC Imam wants. Oh, well, face it, liberals, Islam is responsible for the majority of world wide terrorism (Via NBC NY, which was the first media source I could find that actually had the graphic. Most of the others, including the NY Times, were apparently too scared of Muslim retribution to publish the ad graphic)
New York City’s transit agency has approved a bus advertisement that objects to a planned mosque near ground zero and that depicts a plane flying toward the World Trade Center towers.
The ads are expected to be seen on NYC buses this week.
The ad was paid for by the American Freedom Defense Initiative, an organization that opposes radical Islamic influence in the United States. The group’s executive director says she doesn’t find the advertisement offensive.
How quickly will lefties put together a protest featuring their McDonalds 3rd shift workers, as well as defile the ads?
Pam Geller, of Atlas Shrugs blogosphere fame, has led the charge in attempting to stop the GZ mosque admirably, and is behind getting this ad approved. She has video of her appearance on MSNBC, and, appeared on Fox News this a.m. to debate Nicole Neroulias, whose opinion goes something like this
The New York Times reports that some New York City buses will soon display ads opposing the construction of Cordoba House/Park51 (see prior posts) near Ground Zero, showing a plane flying toward the flaming World Trade Center and the text “Why There?”
I’m glad I’m leaving New York before I spot one of these buses and scream. Frankly, I find the use of this image for political/advertising purposes far more insensitive and offensive than a city-approved Islamic cultural center — or even a traditional mosque! — going up a few blocks from Ground Zero. (Among all the other houses of worship, fast food joints, clothing stores, hotels, offices, apartments, cocktail lounges and even a strip club crammed into lower Manhattan.)
City approved, people mostly against mosque, pushed by an Imam who, as I’ve written, is all for implementing Sharia law in the USA, and thinks 9/11 was a Jewish conspiracy. But, hey, go ahead and scream your little liberal heart out, because sensitivity goes quite a long way when a plane full of American’s, hijacked by Muslims, is flown into a building. I don’t think strippers will be running around Manhattan preaching jihad.
But, as Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his representatives explain in this and previous stories, just as any religion has the right to build in lower Manhattan, so does any group to use free speech — as long as it doesn’t fall under hate speech? –Â to oppose said project.
Ah, so now we get the implication that the ad is “hate speech.” Anyone shocked by the lengths a Liberal will go to protect a repressive religion that will take away the rights of the same woman who supports their cause?

Teach there are over FOUR THOUSAND city buses in New York City. Care to take a guess how many will be sporting this ad ? Conservatives seem to be in real hissy fit mode over this, I guess they would be happier if New York City operated the same way that Mecca does. You do know that the Texas ( largest red state) GOP party platform does call for banning STRIP CLUBS don’t you ?
Conservatives seem to be in real hissy fit mode over this,
You mean that you aren’t? You are perfectly willing to let a government agency censor an ad because they disagree with the content?
Freedom of speech for those who agree with you?
I guess they would be happier if New York City operated the same way that Mecca does.
Clearly this is another case where you have no idea what you are talking about.
Tell me Ryan, why is it that people like you always demand that conservatives be “understanding” and “accommodating?”
Why is it that you worry about your widdle feelings getting hurt but you support a mosque that is antagonistic to the still open wound of 9-11?
You do realize that Islam builds such monuments as close to what they believe are conquests and victories over “infidels,” don’t you? You do realize that the cultural center will discriminate against non-Muslims as only Muslims will be able to enter it?
Find out what a “Fitna” is in the Koran, and then get back to the rest of us.
You won’t, because a monument that honors those who killed 3000 people is a good thing in your eyes.
By the way, the Texas GOP Platform also supports ending killing of babies. Are you for the killing of babies Ryan? It sure seems that since you have a burr in your butt about the Platform that you hate all of it, so you must hate babies and want them dead.
Of course, what the GOP in Texas is saying has nothing to do with the mosque, but that never matters to you.
By the way, have you stopped polluting the earth and contributing to what you say is global warming? Or is this another case where you want others to do what you will not?
