Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Media in uproar over our AFDI Islamic anti-Semitism bus ads

May 20, 2014 1:02 pm By Robert Spencer

afdi-islamic-jew-hatred1Our pro-Israel bus ad is up and running in Washington, D.C., and the mainstream media is howling — which means we’re hitting the target. Most of the coverage has been about how dare we put a photo of Adolf Hitler on buses — as if that were the point of the ad, but of course what they’re really doing is trying to deflect attention away from what the ad actually says. And of course, cynical Islamic supremacists such as the execrable Qasim Rashid are actually implying that the ads are pro-Hitler. (He published a cravenly deceptive piece in Time Magazine claiming that Islamic Jew-hatred is not in the Qur’an; we’ll be replying soon).

Pamela Geller, my colleague and the creator of the ads, has several posts about the media coverage, and the lengths to which a clearly frightened media is going to defame us and obscure our message:

The Examiner: “Washington, DC bus ad resurrects memory of forgotten Muslim Nazi SS Division”

Media Firestorm: More Awareness of AFDI Islamic Jew-Hatred Media Campaign

The Times of Israel Sees Only Hitler in AFDI’s Islamic Jew-Hatred Ad

VIDEO FOX News DC: “Hitler’s face to display on DC bus advertisements”

Haaretz: “Anti-Muslim ads on Washington buses feature Hitler, mufti of Jerusalem”

Daily Mail: “Hitler’s face to appear on side of 20 buses for a month in Washington D.C. as part of controversial anti-Islamic ad campaign”

VIDEO: Pamela Geller on ABC 7 News on AFDI Islamic Jew-Hatred Ad

When you’re getting flak, you’re over the target. We want to roll these ads out nationwide. Please help us: only 62 hours left on our crowdfunding campaign to get more of these ads up.

    great to see media coverage of this even if it biased against us, because the truth about fascist Islam is becoming known by more and more people!

    Those bus ads just reflect the facts of hisroric reality. For example in the book WHY I LEFT JIHAD it exposes on pages 42-46 that the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, who was the head of the Islamic Supreme Council[whos picture is in the above atricle] worked with Adolph Hitler against the Jews. He had is Muslim people work in close frindship with the SS. Furthermore, in a publiction ofthe David Horowitz Freedom Center also has a short booklet exposing this truth. It’s entitled THE NAZI ROOT OF PASESTINIAN NATIONALISM AND ISLAMIC JIHAD.
    Likewise, the book THE TERRORIST NEXT DOOR by Erick Stakelback also exposes this truth. Moreover, Mr. Stakelback later wrote another book about the Islamic group called ‘The Muslim Brotherhood’ in it he further has parts of it exposes the close ties between Hitler and the Mufti. Furhermore, there is the internet site exposing this truth. It’s http://www.thechildrenthetruth.com

    OT
    The Muslim Brotherhood thugs and their allies have lost Egypt. Now they’re on the verge of losing Libya.
    Beware of the Domino Effect!!!

    “A rogue general in Libya who’s confronting Islamist militias and seeking to shut down the country’s parliament gained support in the east of the country among both soldiers and some separatist groups.”

    That may be true, but

      Robert and Pamely can back it up what they are advertising with a mother lode of evidences. Do you really thing emotions will sway the rule of the land? you got to be kidding, right?

      • Mulakush says

        May 21, 2014 at 11:39 am

        Emotion here is the real problem. Look at Sweden and how you are not allowed to say that the root cause of current rape epidemic is the teachings of Islam – they throw the book at you for that.

          “they throw the book at you for that”

          which book? not the koran i hope, that lot will lose it if they do…..

    Bravo, Richard and Pamela! And you are exactly right, you know you are over the target when you start catching heavy flak.

    • dlbrand says

      “Bravo, Richard and Pamela! ”

      Indeed, and Spencer’s not done too bad either …

    The leftist American Dhimmis just can’t stand having the truth about Islam known. Why don’t they just convert to the Religion of Hate, move to Yemen, and be done with it?

    • umbra says

      May 20, 2014 at 3:34 pm

      … because they want to turn America into yemen and become official dhimmis.

    How come featuring a prominent muslim becomes an anti Islam campaign? LOL

  8. CogitoErgoSum says

    May 20, 2014 at 4:55 pm

    If more people would take the time to find out the truth about Islam and not blithely accept the lies being told by those in high places, Islam would soon wither and die away. I believe most people are born with a certain awareness of decency and a sense of right and wrong; Islam subjugates, subverts and suppresses these innate tendencies and binds the mind with the chains of hate, spite and emotional apathy. What new moral values has Islam brought to the world? Take away the commands to convert, subjugate or exterminate and what is it that remains? Those so called “peaceful” Muslims who reject the call to convert others by force, subjugate some with malice and exterminate the rest through violence may as well find their merciful and loving God within the ranks of either the Christians or the Jews. It has become apparent to me that even though many may try to hide the Truth, the Truth has existed from the beginning and will continue to be the same now and forever. It is there as it has been all along….waiting for you. Seek it out and when you find it let it take you where it will….and you will learn. Islam is the great deception.

      Hello Cogito —

      Let me add more sources for truth about the great deception :

      http://www.citizenwarrior.com / http://www.inquriyintoislam.com / http://www.thereligionofpeace.com

      **** At Citizenwarrior, read “THE TERRIFYING BRILLIANCE OF ISLAM” * ***

      Please pass it as a hotlink — on to your family, friends, PLUS elected officials locally, statewide, national, even if those public officials are NOT in your political party.

      Remind them that our task is working against a security threat which ultimately seeks to defeat America.

      And that activist Muslims will do everything possible to deceive us until they prevail, just as their prophet did when he beheaded many hundreds in Medina.

      THAT IS THE ULTIMATE AIM OF ISLAM… The Trilogy ( Qur’an, Hadith, Sira ) establish this — without a doubt.

    The received responses clearly indicate a lot of people running around with their head in the sand refusing to recognize and give credit to the truth about Islam to which the bus ads clearly state..Islam and Muslims provide a daily source of material for you to study Islam to help you determine if Islam is really a religion of peace or not..Don’t get caught with your head in the sand…

  11. Bezelel says

    According to the antisemitic left, the holocaust was a myth. My point is you can’t have it both ways.

  12. Kepha says

    May 20, 2014 at 8:15 pm

    American liberals have been in love with Islam ever since the days of Mal-come Hex. They’ve dubbed it “non-racist”, “bestowing dignity”, and every other bit of nonsense they can. Now that their favorite “Abrahamic” religion is exposed for the warlike, misogynist cult it is, they’re up in arms against those who have so exposed it.

    • Wellington says

      May 20, 2014 at 8:50 pm

      Nailed it again, Kepha, respecting both the abject tyranny which is Islam and the profound foolishness (hypocrisy too) which is modern liberalism. Well done, my Christian friend.

  13. Wellington says

    May 20, 2014 at 8:27 pm

    If truth prevails, a big “if” to be sure, then Islam is done because truth and Islam have nothing in common.

    Yes, the choice is this stark. Those averring otherwise are ignorant, only the source of their ignorance and in some cases the degree of malevolence being variables.

  14. Champ says

    May 21, 2014 at 2:06 am

    And of course, cynical Islamic supremacists such as the execrable Qasim Rashid are actually implying that the ads are pro-Hitler. (He published a cravenly deceptive piece in Time Magazine claiming that Islamic Jew-hatred is not in the Qur’an; we’ll be replying soon).

    Oh Jew hatred is in the quran, alright! …and we aren’t buyin’ your lies!

  15. Frans Groenendijk says

    May 21, 2014 at 5:26 am

    This is highly informative: “actually implying that the ads are pro-Hitler”.
    Of course they are in his view: Hitler is depicted as a friend of the “éminence grise of pan-islamism” (in the words of Naveed S Sjeikh) Al Huseinni.
    Qasim Rashid enlightens us about his opinion on the founder of modern day arab terrorism against jews.

  16. Thinking From First Principles says

    May 21, 2014 at 1:14 pm

    Getting the word out is certainly what needs to happen. The only thing to consider is the effectiveness of the means, and that includes the nature and tone of how the information is presented. These ads, while effective, may reinforce the perception that the core problem with Islam is just a family feud between the sons of Abraham and their descendants. And, of course, things like stoning disobedient children are in the Bible, so a lot of folks are going to just say “So what? Even if it’s in there, who says that anyone acts on it in this day and age?”

    So, respectfully, consider taking the broader approach to educating the public and run a series of ads titled “Core Beliefs of Modern Mainstream Islam.” Hit topics like the division of the world into Dar al Islam and Dar al Harb. The death penalty for apostasy. Marriage and sex with prepubescent girls. The example of Islam’s prophet as the unchangeable model for all time … with examples that people emulate … such as being victorious through terror.
