It is good that we keep winning these free speech battles. It is not so good that we have to fight them at all: it indicates how poorly the importance of the freedom of speech is understood today, and how much public officials take for granted as axiomatically true what is actually the libeling of a perspective that is out of establishment favor as “hate speech.”
“Federal Court: MTA Must Run ‘Hamas Killing Jews’ Ad,” AFLC, April 21, 2015:
Today, a federal court ruled that New York City’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) violated the First Amendment by refusing to run the “Hamas Killing Jews” advertisement displayed below and must therefore display the advertisement on MTA buses.
The ad’s sponsors, Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, and the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), sought to run the advertisement on MTA buses last August, but the MTA refused, claiming that Muslims in New York might understand the ad to be advocating violence, thereby inciting them to murder Jews as Islamic worship.
The American Freedom Law Center (AFLC) promptly filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the MTA for refusing to run the ad. The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of the advertisement’s sponsors. AFLC also filed a motion for preliminary injunction, asking U.S. District Court Judge John G. Koeltl to issue an order forcing the MTA to display the ad even in advance of a final ruling since the MTA’s conduct was a transparent and egregious violation of AFDI’s free speech rights protected by the First Amendment.
On March 24, 2015, the court held a five-hour-long hearing that included live testimony from MTA employees, including the MTA’s director of security, Raymond Diaz, followed by oral argument. The court’s ruling granting the preliminary injunction was issued today. In his opinion, Judge Koeltl made clear that the MTA’s refusal to run the “Hamas Killing Jews” advertisement was a blatant violation of the First Amendment and that the MTA’s claim that the advertisement advocated violence or was likely to incite violence was “thoroughly unpersuasive,” particularly in light of the fact that the same ad had run earlier in Chicago and San Francisco without incident.
Judge Koeltl continued along this line:
“The defendants [the MTA and its top executives] contend that the advertisement could be read as urging a subset of Islamic extremists to follow Hamas’s command, but if that group is as violent and radicalized as the defendants contend, presumably they would not need a bus advertisement to remind them of Hamas’s interpretation of the Quran. . . . It strains credulity to believe that New Yorkers would be incited to violence by ads that did not incite residents of Chicago and San Francisco to similar acts. This is not to minimize the terror threats to New York City, but those threats do not arise from these fleeting advertisements.
***
In arguing that granting the injunction is against the public interest, the defendants point to the global and local threat posed by terrorism. But as explained throughout this opinion, such generalized fears, only tangentially connected to the ad in question, do not outweigh the public interest in protecting First Amendment rights.”
David Yerushalmi, AFLC Co-Founder and Senior Counsel, commented,
“Judge Koeltl’s well-written and considered opinion sends a loud and clear message to Islamic terrorists around the globe as well as to those government bureaucrats who believe that Sharia’s blasphemy laws are an exception to the First Amendment. And that message is this: America’s liberties will not give way to Islamic terror threats nor to government bureaucrats who are quick to cast aside our liberties for fear of offending Muslims.”
Robert Muise, AFLC Co-Founder and Senior Counsel, added,
“Under the First Amendment, the government is not permitted to impose special prohibitions on speech out of fear that some members of the public might react violently to its content. Quite simply, the First Amendment knows no heckler’s veto. This opinion forcefully confirms this fundamental principle of First Amendment jurisprudence.”
Muise continued,
“If the MTA was able to get away with this obvious ploy to manufacture a threat when this ad has already run without incident in Chicago and San Francisco for months, it could use this sort of pretext to shut down all unwanted speech. This would not only make a mockery of the First Amendment, it would actually encourage the thuggery and violence the MTA claimed it fears.”
AFLC has now won two federal lawsuits against the MTA, one against the Washington, D.C. transit authority, and one against the Philadelphia transit authority on behalf of its clients, Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, and AFDI. Cases are still pending in Detroit, Boston, and Seattle.

AFDI free speech victory: NYC MTA must run ad about Islamic Jew-hatred
……………………………..
Bravo, Robert and Pam!
But yes—it is appalling that you and AFDI have to keep fighting for this free speech.
Raa says
@Gravenimage,
Freedom doesn’t come for free we fight for it, being against the tide. Killing comes for free because it comes from the devil, the king of the world as Jesus said. The god of Koran has all the characteristics of Satan: Father of lies, murderer, thief and so on. Mo was a good man because he was faithful to his master the devil.
Blitz2b says
@graven, This is true that Robert and Pam are one of the few that are holding up the light to show the evils of Islam, but there are the willfully blind leftist who rather keep their blinders on and carry on their lives like nothing matters…
@ Robert / Pamela
I’d like to make one humble suggestion to you. To prevent vandalism of these ads by Muslims would it be possible to necessarily include a relevant verse from the Koran with every ad, instead of just opinionated statements, which Muslims will not hesitate to deface. On the other hand vandalizing or destroying the ones that have the Koranic verse would equivalent to destroying the Koran itself … A foolproof barrier against Muslims, and an education tool for the rest of us.
I’d hate to see all the hard work and dollars invested in this project become the brunt of some distraught Muslim’s frustrated attempts to prevent the truth about Islam from ever being exposed to the public..
just a thought.
Thomas says
The judge made it very clear he did not like the ad. Instead of voiding the agency rule, he just ruled this one ad could run,
This means you will have to litigate this again in NYC .
Linde Barrera says
To Thomas- Judge Koeltl may not have liked the ad, but he ruled that the MTA’S refusal to run it was in opposition to the 1st Amendment. So that is a clear victory. Most likely he, as a bureaucrat wants to perpetuate his job, as all bureaucrats do. So having to review each individual ad gives him more time on his job! I am very proud of Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller, Yerushalmi and Muise. Thank you all for your devotion to the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution.
Don McKellar says
Hasn’t Obama abolished that ammendment yet. He better get on the ball fast or he’s going to be out millions of dollars in Saudi and Qatar corporate board memberships when his disastrous regime comes to an end. Chop chop, hop to! Your Islamic masters aren’t pleased with you enough yet.
Jeff Gleason says
The deciet that caused Obama to become President is astounding. The obvious Islamic undertones are sickening. I’ll bet a paycheck he goes from the White House to the United Nations in a week. I just hope we can recover some of the damage he has done! It has to start by waking up the global community to the real intent of Islam.
Sabri S. says
What bigoted garbage!…wake up people…no one on this forum is a member
Of hamas or watches hamas mtv…as if there isn’t enough ignorance in this
Country…what is the point of this ad?….other than to perpetuate negative
Stereotypes between muslims and jews….if Saudis ran an opposite ad with the same
“Jews are killers of palestinians”, what response would this serve….
Buraq says
@ Sabri
Even if no one watches Hamas TV, there are millions who believe what Hamas TV says without having to see or hear it. Hamas TV is simply another conduit for Islam’s entrenched Jew hatred. What is expressed by Hamas TV is repeated in Mosques all over the world, including America!
You’re a clown!
Don McKellar says
“no one on this forum is a member Of hamas or watches hamas mtv”
On the contrary, we always watch clips from hamas mtv. The ones where they have a Mickey Mouse rip-off teaching kids to murder Jews. Or here’s another clip, where it talks about how great it would be for little girls to shoot all Jews. http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/douglas-murray/2014/05/hamas-tv-teaches-children-to-kill-all-jews/ But of course, according to Sabri S, it is “bigoted” to draw attention to such realities.
“if Saudis ran an opposite ad with the same “Jews are killers of palestinians”, what response would this serve….” Well, they wouldn’t be able to find any quotes to use that are justified by religious texts. Unlike the moslem in the ad who uses the koran and the hadiths to justify his genocidal aspirations. Nowhere in any texts from Jews or Christians or Hindus or Sikhs or any other religious group does it command the followers to murder unbelievers or command hatred to a specific religious group like Islam does. So it would be impossible for the Saudis to run a comparable ad for ANY religious group. Only Islam is that evil.
Any more questions?
Raja says
Don, a very logical and sound reply… Good post!!!!
TediNeo98 says
Sabri…are you for real…Muslims have killed more people in the last 10 years than all the other religions put together. Wherever you are significant in numbers you murder, hate and destroy…and it’s all in the Quran. I am personally fed up with you people and your S**t.
cs says
WTF, Jew hating is becoming mainstream and it is widely proposed by ME countries, mainly Egypt, it became poisonous and is seen as unquestionable. Something like : “As everybody knows, Jews dominate the world through this and that.” I am still waiting for that fat Rothschild check, surprise surprise it did not reach my bank account yet.
So yes, this must be denounced, it is sheer nonsense, and still people are giving credit to this ideology, so don’t play the dumb.
“Jews are Palestinians child killers”, we hear this all the time, still people do not show how Hamas provokes these wars. They don’t want to negotiate, that is their ideology and death is the consequence, they should be accounted responsible for it, instead they play the victim.
Gea says
Muslim delusional Jew hatred is rampant all over the world, and particularly in Europe where 47 millions of Muslim immigrants and their children had replaced 6 millions of Jews whom Nazis turned into soap and gas with the help of like-minded delusional Jew haters in Europe.
Those Muslims are not like Jews, who just wanted to live among non-Muslims without being harassed and killed, but Muslims want to dominate and conquer Europe, in their open and stealth jihad, because their IDEOLOGY of Islam commands them to “strike terror into the hearts of non-believers”. Read Koran, Hadith and Sira-life of Mohamed (www.cspipublishing.com/pdfs/AtwoHourKoraan.pdf) to understand that Islam ITSELF is a totalitarian supremacist imperialistic ideology of hate of ALL non-Muslims, which is incompatible with the US Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Most Muslims deny that Holocaust ever happened but think it is a good idea. Islam ITSELF also condones pedophilia, polygamy, rape, misogyny, looting and mass murder, because Mohamed did all those vile things, and in any decent society such a criminal would be convicted for his crimes against humanity and not emulated by 1.6 BILLIONS of Muslims worldwide as “the most perfect human being who ever lived and THEIR “beloved prophet”.
The Doctor says
You forgot necrophilia – Mohammad did that, too.
Lesley says
@Sabri: Wake up. Israel is protecting themselves against aggression, and Palestine is bent on killing Jews because they’re Jewish. Here are some links to show you what Palestinians show their children to indoctrinate them:
Palestinian children’s television:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeii225G-HM
Here’s another gem from Palestinian children’s television:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3OYjKZ2Cu8
Israel drops fliers telling the Palestinians that they will be bombing in advance so that civilians can move out of the way, and Palestine straps bombs onto their own children and uses schools to store munitions. Here’s a nice link about Palestinian child suicide bombers:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_suicide_bombers_in_the_Israeli%E2%80%93Palestinian_conflict
The problem isn’t created by ads that might offend people (with the uncomfortable truth). The problem is fundamental in the fabric of the ideology of Islam. What AFDI is doing is standing up and telling the truth for all to see. We cannot fix this problem if we are unable to even speak about it. You seem misled. I hope to see you again in this forum– that would mean that you are reading Robert Spencer’s articles, which is a great start.
I also recommend reading the Koran, and seeking out plain data to form a more informed opinion. This would also be a good video for you to watch about the barbaric history of Islam. Islam hasn’t changed in 1400 years:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_Qpy0mXg8Y
There are good people who are Muslims, but it is in spite of their faith, not because of it. The ideology itself is bad, bad, bad….

More Islam Muslim “Pandering” B.S., as Sabri S. says “…What bigoted garbage!…”, and thanks to Philip Jihadski for your excellent response to Sabri S.
Per the Muslims:
1. Taqiyya and Kitman, “Sacred” lying and deception, as set forth in Islam’s Qur’an, that advance the cause Islam – by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them.
2. The 4 Stages of Islamic Conquest: INFILTRATION, CONSOLIDATION OF POWER, OPEN WAR w/ LEADERSHIP & CULTURE, Totalitarian ISLAMIC “THEOCRACY”.
3. Muslims consider Islamic Sharia Law under Allah (which IS Antithetical to the U.S. Constitution), as more Supreme than the Law of ANY Country, including the United States Constitution, which IS and “…shall be the supreme Law of the Land” in America.
4. As to “Bigoted” Islam and Muslims, attempt to force “Blasphemy Laws” on the World, with “Criminal Penalties” to be imposed on ANYONE “Blaspheming” Islam or their Prophet Mohammed (essensitlly exposing the TRUTH about Islam).
5. WHILE, on the other hand, Muslims play the “Victim” card, “Blaspheme”, and exhibit “Bigotry”, towards ANY Belief, Religion, or Prophet that is NOT 100% Islamic, and DEMAND Impunity for doing so.

The WaPo had an article on this. Here is one of the 8 comments in the thread at the WaPo:
Somebody needs to identify every member of this group of losers and harass them, 24 hours a day.
Set up shop outside their homes, bothering them with loud musoc, with chants telling them how much their actions are disliked.
Follow them to the grocery store.
On their vacations.
Find every piece of embarrassing dirt on them that exists. Then blow it up billboard size and follow them around with it. And make sure everyone they know gets a chance to see it.
Because , you know, free speech .
If they can dress their incendiary hate up as free speech and thrust it unsolicited into the daily lives of millions then they deserve a taste of it themselves.

There should be a penalty for people who try and shut down the free speech rights of others…Who is paying for the transit authorities court costs and lawyers fee’s? The losing ‘individuals’ should be forced to reimburse the winners and the public, out of their own pockets. That would put a stop to the nonsense…

“… the MTA’s claim that the advertisement advocated violence or was likely to incite violence was “thoroughly unpersuasive,” particularly in light of the fact that the same ad had run earlier in Chicago and San Francisco without incident.”
I’m guessing that there are some out there who will attempt to make sure that being able to claim you can exercise free speech “without incident” will not remain a true statement.

New York is now filling up with Muslim immigrants who have halal stands on every corner in Manhattan replacing previous stands. Muslim had also stopped traffic on Madison Avenue one recent Friday to show that they dominate NYC now, and they are bosses who can do anything. Barack Hussein Obama is encouraging Muslim immigration and stealth jihad among US by his speeches extolling Islam and Koran, and defending Mohamed at the UN in 2012. Why is he still in power in US, and not tried for treason of America?.
Raja says
God exposes (the truth) and the devil imposes(lies on us).The world has never seen an age of information (internet etc) before as we do. This is the age of information as prophesied in Daniel 12:4.
US has taken the lead and Islam that is full of lies and deception must continued to be exposed. Hate mongering, killing agenda should have no place in 21st century.
Robert and Pam are doing their part we need lots of missionaries who will work hard to expose Islam.Some fundamentalists churches are already doing it others have to follow. Dump the leftists the idiots and move on…
Rev. Albert W. Kovacs - UCC says
I’m one of millions of Americans who despise the savagery of Islamists all over the world, and even here in the land of the free. Thank you, Ms. Geller, for your courageous acts in insisting on freedom of speech and taking on toe to toe the chicken politicians who refuse to uphold the Constitution. In this new global society the Jews are my neighbors, and the Buddhists, Taoists, Muslims, animists, atheists, and agnostics, to name a few, and none of them deserve to die for being what they are. I would prefer that they all be my friends. Queen Esther would be proud of her daughter Pamela – and I am proud of you too!
William Lucas Harvey Jr. says
To those who may call the “AFDI free speech victory”, such as “What bigoted garbage!”, may I remind them, as to “Bigotry”.
1. Islam and Muslim’s WILL themselves, “Blaspheme” and “Degrade” ANY NON Islamiic Faith, Religion, or Prophet with their typical expected Impunity, while themselves Playing the “Victims”.
2. Islam IS attempting to enforce “Blasphemy Laws”, to “Criminalize” ANY speech, about Islam, the Qur’an, or their Prophet Mohammed, which exposes the TRUTH about Islam and Muslims.
3. However, on the other hand Islam and Muslim’s feel that THEY have the Allah, Mohammed and Qur’an given “Duty” , to FORCE Islam on the entire World.
4. Islam and Muslim’s WILL utilize Islam’s “Grand Deception” (called Taqiyya and Kitman) – the Islamic acceptable “Art of Lying and Deception”, to advance the cause of Islam by gaining the trust of Infidel non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them , OR if the “Deception” is NOT achieved, then through Forced “Jihad” Holy War.
5. Islam and Muslims feel that Islamic Law (which IS Antithetical to the United States Constitution), superseeds the Laws of ANY Country, even America, in which the Constitution IS the Supreme Law of the Land.

Dear Robert.
I appreciate and commend your efforts. But I think you guys should be encouraging people to get a Quran and read and also try to include at least one relevant Quranic verse in each ad.
I think it would ring a louder bell if the message is about moslem hatred of all people. If the add shows that all is in danger, then I think more response will follow.
Thank you

I think this ad is a waste of money and energy.
If your spending so much money and your ad is getting so much publicity- why not write something better than this?!
I am a Jewish woman who lives in New York- and this ad is not appreciated by my community. We get along well with our muslim neighbors (although 3 muslims who live right near me were arrested for trying to join the islamic state!)
my pint is- that we are scared that this ad can “remind” muslims that are “moderate” that they are supposed to hate Jews. It is putting Jews and muslims against each other. Even though I understand that their koran teaches them to hate Jews, it doesn’t mean that that is what they are thinking about and focusing on.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Rebecca, This ad should be seen as an eyeopener. It is about educating the masses about the evils of radical Islam and this brand of Islam is inseparable from Isam, you call it any name! How can good muslims be reminded about hating Jews? “hating Jews” is gross understatement. You mean to say you should be killed where ever you are found? That is what the Koran orders. Doesn’t your heart go out to those millions butchered by instigating and collaborating with Nazis and muslim governments across the world? What about about the effect of suicide bomber? For every suicide bombing there are at least a few million cheerleaders because they are brain washed with lies that all world will be converted to allah. They are already brainwashed that koran is science.. What i am trying to say is Islam is not only bad for the world it is the best war machine Satan has given to the world. Wherever you put it to use it will roll over. The naive and gullible are attracted to it for its “power” of destruction and death and that is far from truth. Even Hitler believed in the power of the “barrel of gun” !! Your neighborhood muslims might be leftist musims. It just takes 5 minutes to be radicalized by Koran,mullah etc. Aren’t your muslim “friends” taught that only koran is from god? When Jews are killed for sport by bad elements the “good muslims” distance themselves by saying that is not Islam. They don’t have the heart and the mind to say that these terrorists are from the devil. Not one.I think most on this site see from a wider perspective and hopefully you will find it soon.
My point is- I support pamela geller- but why couldnt she have written something a little better? That would actually help the Jews and Israel?
__________________________________________________________________________
There was a good suggestion that Koran should have been quoted along side the statements.
Like, pictures of hamas killing gazans- reminding ppl that they are terrorists,
or pointing out the corruption of the palestinian governments?
________________________________________________________________________________
Given a chance they will kill you too. It is God and America that is protecting you!!!…….
somehow, I don’t think this ad is effective, or is going to have any impact on furthering her message or promoting her cause.
_________________________________________________________________________________
This ad will benefit those wanting to convert to the devil’s cult of death and destruction. The day they don’t believe that the world will convert to Islam it will start its demise and the muslims of your neighborhood will sincerely respect you as a fellow human otherwise they will kill you on radicalization. period.

Rebecca, I’ve only been following Pamela and Robert for about 3yrs. A beginner by the standard JW and Atlas readers. I have never seen anything posted that was untrue. I have also noticed the increase in jihadist activity. There is method to the madness. muslims need to be confronted with the truth about their religion. They need to know that we know what their religion is about which is in conflict with what the enemedia and the usurper n’ chief and for that matter other heads of state are pushing on us. If the truth about islam is a burden to a muslims conscience, then they need to at least consider leaving islam. Truly their eternal spirit is at stake. Some can be salvaged and some cannot, but as long as they continue worshipping satan they will continue to degenerate. It is not doing them any favors to passively watch them destroy themselves and drag as many down with them as they can.
saturnine says
Pamela and Robert are relentless in shining the spotlight precisely where it must be pointed: on the Islamic origins of the violence, hatred, and dysfunction in Muslim societies.
Everyone else is already doing just what you suggest, focusing on “poverty”, “corruption”, “terrorism”, etc. That’s been going on for decades and has accomplished less than nothing.
Discussing the proximate causes is necessary but not sufficient. At some point, the ultimate cause needs to be identified in order to even begin to formulate a solution. Pamela and Robert are among the very, very, few who are doing just that.
Joseph says
Too bad they can’t show ads of actual a actual beheading. By showing the public the real brutality of Islam it might wake some people up. Of course if we did that we would be the “sick” ones, not the murderous Muslim slime that committed the acts of violence.
What a twisted world we live in.
More Ham Ed says
The judge in this case also said something to the effect of, he finds no evidence that “these ADs” have led to any violence. My thought on that was so freaking WHAT. Free speech exposes the difference between those who are NOT RESPONSIBLE for THEIR ACTIONS and those who ARE.
