If Americans aren't allowed to so much as publicly mention the Islamist threat posed to their country IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY, then it's a safe bet that the threat posed by Islamism to their nation is REALLY, REALLY, truly critical.

Judging by the photograph, the "Dallas-area billboard company" in fact appears to be ClearChannel, a US-based media conglomerate. It's the biggest outdoor advertising company in the world, (it's the market leader here in the UK.)

As well as outdoor advertising, its international interests include television, news and radio. Ironically, among its vast radio holdings is Premiere Radio Networks, home to the Rush Limbaugh Show.

I continue to believe that the best (and only permissible) anti-jihad billboard campaign would display quotes from the Qur'an (the hadiths would be too long to read as you drove by), with no additional commentary, other than maybe a link to jihadwatch.org. The jihad apologists could not complain (well, of course they will complain anyways) about simple quotes from the qur'an by the most established translators. And quite a few eyes would be opened, perhaps literally, by those quotes.

You're spot on, i have thought the same thing before. If its a direct quote from the Koran how can there be any laws forbidding it from being displayed unless the Koran is illegal itsself, whixch unforteuntely irts not. The only problem is you'll get the "you're taking phrases out of context to promote hatred" crowd, but at the very least you would hope it would ensure a more frank and public discussion of Islamic tennents.

Going by this statement on the "Know the Facts" page on the Clear Channel website, the company's main concern may have been the home audience, rather than the international one:

MYTH: Clear Channel Outdoor rejected ad copy from Project Billboard because it didn’t agree with its political message.

FACT: Politics plays absolutely no role in reviewing ad copy. In fact, Clear Channel Outdoor actively work with groups across the political spectrum to help them reach their target audiences. That said, we reserve the right to reject any copy that would be offensive to a local community. (my italics)

I wonder just who in the DFW-area local community would find the term "Islamist terrorism" offensive?

Only one thing will work. Not appeals to common sense, intelligence, morality, the truth. Not stuff like that. If the company that owns the billboard believes it will suffer, not necessarily through its billboard rental business, but in other ways, in other businesses it may own, and if it calculates that its losses will outweigh any "gain" from not offending Muslims and Arabs (including those with that oil wealth successive American governments have not done a thing to diminish -- pleading as Bush did for lower prices merely causes them to believe that we believe that they hold all the cards, when of course if things were understood aright, it is we who hold them, beginning with the ability to make oil just as expensive, through taxation, as we wish, and thereby to diminish demand, and ending with their complete reliance on the Western world for medical care, education, advanced technology, weaponry, the defense of their assorted "royal" families, and so on).,

Make the owner aware that there will be consequences.

This thing with this billboard should serve as a wake up call to those who think that what's going on in the once Great Britain and the rest of Europe can't happen here. People with the same "Don't mention the Islam" PC attitude prevalent in al-England are alive and well here in the United States, even in Texas.

The phrase "war on terror" is terrible, but the phrase "Islamic terrorism" also presents problems. For it reinforces the idea that it is only "violent Jihad," Jihad conducted through terrorism (seen by many Muslims not as "terrorism" but as "qitaal" or combat), that matters.

Would it not be better, be more effective, to speak about "Jihad And Its Instruments"? And a mild-mannered clark-kentish title like that could hardly be turned away. One wants to force into what is sometimes called the public "debate" or "discussion" or that phrase favored by those earnest NPR talk-show hosts, the "conversation" or, still worse, the "national conversation," such words as "Hadith" and "Sira" and thus to make clear that the Qur'an is not the only thing to worry about, for the components of the Sunnah are just as influential, and possibly even more disturbing, than the Qur'an itself (which is disturbing enough). And one wants the word "dhimmi" to be used, repeatedly, by all those who discuss Islam, because the word itself raises the issue of Muslim treatment, under the Holy Law of Islam (the Shari'a), of non-Muslims, and that must not be lost sight of even for one moment.

The attempt must be made to force the right language, the language of the truth, rather than the language of lies and nonsense, to win the field. It can be done.

Meanwhile, the Arabs and Muslims work, constantly, full-time, without cease, to make sure that their phrases, their language, distorts reality. In some cases, they appear to have won, but that victory can be, and is being, undone. Take the phrase "Palestinian people." It isn't a permanent victory; it can be reversed.

Take the word "Jihad" and the attempt -- by now almost abandoned because it invited ridicule and made non-Muslims much more wary -- to convince us that the main meaning of "Jihad" is this "inner spiritual struggle" we hear so much about, and see so little evidence of.

The next conference should not be about "Terrorism." It should be all about the "instruments of Jihad." And those instruments include, but are not limited to, terrorism. The Money Weapon, and How To Diminish It. Campaigns of Da'wa In The West, And How To Counter Them. Demographic Conquest by Muslims, and How To Halt, and Even Reverse It.

Give the conference in New York.

Give a European version of the same conference in London, or Brussels, or Paris.

Don't stop.

A little off-topic, but I went to hear Rushdie speak at San Jose State University a few months ago, whenI was visiting my parents in Northern CA. Frankly, I did not find his talk particularly interesting (I've heard him give far better ones on C-SPAN), but I was there mainly to support free speech and quietly protest Islamofacism, not because I am a huge fan of his writing. In any case, I was gratified that when the moderator asked him a question along the lines of, "Don't you think all religious fundamentalism is equally dangerous?", he replied (this is not verbatim but very close to what he said), "Well, I don't like any of them, but no, clearly, they're not all equally dangerous. The most dangerous by far is Islamic fundamentalism." The moderator did not press the issue.

I had expected more Muslim protests, but the only protest I encountered was a young man outside the auditorium who, as my friend and I were leaving, handed us a handbill calling Rushdie a liar and extolling the truth and "miraculous nature" of the Koran, etc., etc. (I saw some other young Muslims doing the same.) At least he was polite, though.

Posted by: Alaskan at January 18, 2008 3:05 PM

On topic...it is distressing to see so many cowards emerging in America. They seem to exist where political correctness exists. Extreme cowardice based on fear, is a mental illness caused in part by possession of the demon PC. You cannot call yourself a man if you stay on the narrow path they have set for you, and are 'afraid' to wander from it. PC ruins independent human thought just as does Islam, by creating a penalty for those who wander.
Islam's punishments are more severe, but both are
designed to keep the fearful on the straight and narrow. Islam loves an infidel coward, it proves to them their supremacy. 'Some of who might be on the other side'. A cowards remark, based on fear.
We cannot stop the fearful from being fearful.
But we can resist and eventually beat the two sources of this fear, PC and Islam. PC/Islam is a tough tag team to beat, but we have the 'force', and
determination on our side, and in the end are unbeatable...Challenge them both...

All American patriots must come to the realization that every second or third generation will have to sacrifice dearly for life and liberty, or it will be lost. The enemy we now face is no different in essence that the British Empire that we faced in 1776, or the Nazi enemy we faced in WWII. The American Revolution is not over yet, and we still must either defend ourselves from all enemies of our God-given liberty, both home and abroad; or give in to tyranny and terror. It is time to re-declare our Declaration of Independence.

Storm-rider,

Every generation since WWII has been sacrificing for life and liberty. From Hitler to Stalin to Korea to Vietnam to Saddam to Osama.

We've paid heaven knows how much to defend ourselves and our allies since 1945. The end of the Cold War fooled a generation into thinking the fight was over and we had won and there were nothing but good times ahead. We were wrong.

Every generation must sacrifice or it WILL be lost. It seems many think of Osama as less of a threat and more like an annoyance. Until that changes, we will remain in danger of losing our liberties sooner rather than later.

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

Or what about a billboard saying the 9/11 attacks were justified "because we have an international clientelle, some of whom may be on the other side?"

Perhaps instead of a billboard saying "9/11, 3000 innocents murdered" they would have "9/11, 3000 kaffir, getting what they deserved" just because "we have an internationale clientelle, some of whom may be on they other side?
