The freedom of speech continually under assault. “New York buses must run ‘Muslim’ ads,” by Pamela Geller, WND, October 11, 2015:
The courts are playing fast and loose with our First Amendment rights, again. Having been in the middle of the free-speech fight now for the better part of 10 years, I can tell you that we are witnessing nothing less than the shredding of our most important and foundational constitutional right.
A federal judge on Wednesday ordered New York City’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority to run a series of dishonest advertisements promoting Islamic agitprop in the subway.
A little background: Earlier this year, the NYC MTA lost when my organization, the American Freedom Defense Initiative, or AFDI, sued them for refusing to run our ads that were designed to increase public awareness of the jihad threat. In response to our victory, and determined that nothing go up in their system that would offend delicate Muslim sensitivities, the MTA banned all political and issue-related ads and refused to run our ads.
Well, even though our ads were designed to raise awareness of the jihad threat, and the ban was designed solely to prevent our ads from running, the Muslims in New York City who produced the propaganda film “The Muslims Are Coming!” weren’t having any of that. This was because, under the new ban, they were prohibited from running their ads as well. And so they sued to get around the ban and get their propaganda up on NYC’s MTA systems, claiming that their ad, and the movie it was advertising, weren’t political.
Make no mistake. “The Muslims Are Coming!” ad is political. This “movie” is nothing but agitprop for Islam under the guise of – you guessed it – making lame jokes about “Islamophobia.” If that’s comic, no one is laughing.
Nonetheless, the Muslims sued. And last week they won (of course), which shows how utterly corrupt the system is. A federal judge last Wednesday ordered the MTA to allow these dissemblers to run a series of advertisements promoting their film in the subway.
And no, “The Muslims Are Coming!” is not a film about the current invasion of Europe. It’s political propaganda, a long diatribe about “Islamophobia,” despite the obvious advantages of their status as Muslims in America today.
“The Muslims Are Coming!” poster campaign was a response to AFDI ads. So their ads can run, but ours can’t? This is exactly why the First Amendment was enshrined in our Constitution – because who would decide what’s good and what’s forbidden? Shariah-compliant judges?
Where do these fascist fat cats think they are, banning speech that reflects the point of view they oppose? Do they think they’re in Nazi Germany? The reckless and authoritarian Charles Moerdler, leader of the MTA board that implemented the ban last April, invoked Nazi Germany to enact the same restrictions on free speech that let to Nazi Germany’s murderous reign.
Public service ads are allowed, and our ads are the embodiment of the public service ad. What could be more serviceable than saving your life?
And meanwhile, the New York and national media’s narrative on this reads like al Jazeera. While the mainstream media routinely smear our ads and us as “anti-Muslim,” the media rushes to praise the purveyors of the “Islamophobia” myth, which is designed to intimidate people into thinking there is something wrong with opposing jihad terror. Jonathan Stempel wrote fawningly in Reuters that “ads for ‘The Muslims Are Coming!’ contained what filmmakers Negin Farsad and Dean Obeidallah considered tongue-in-cheek statements such as ‘The Ugly Truth About Muslims: Muslims have great frittata recipes’ and ‘Those Terrorists Are All Nutjobs,’ with ‘nutjobs’ replacing the crossed off ‘Muslim’ to be ‘more accurate.’”
I am glad they won. You can bet we will be back in court. The idea that our ad cannot run and “The Muslims Are Coming” ad can is highly discriminatory and prejudicial. Please contribute to the fight.
Shariah in action.

Don McKellar says
Well of course!
Moslems must be obeyed!
Jihad must escalate — both violent and stealth!
Islam must be advanced! The laws and values of fee people be damned!
It’s Obama’s America — and you all are just living in it.

NYC’s MTA dullards apply different standards here: one to Pam’s core free speech ads, another to this “satire” by the latest too-clever Muslim morons.
AFDI will prevail because of the obvious discrimination against one of two protected kinds of First Amendment activities. MTA will lose this case, but that might take some time.
Sam says
These judges are disgusting liberals also. If we can not rely on judges to protect our free speech who can we rely on?
I got it! Armed citizens of the USA.
Doug says
Armed for now.
Dr. Divinity says
JUDGES!!!!juts because you bow to Islam don’t give you a free ride when they start lopping head’s off
Arthur says
Perhaps the AFDI advertisement could be run as “entertainment” advertising: simply state that free speech is a “joke” at the MTA.
Peggy says
Excellent idea.
Jay Boo says
We should at least try to see things from a Muslim perspective.
A liberal work colleague wrote me a letter about a “meet and greet” that she attended.

The COEXIST PARTY
“Tonight I am the special guest of honor, up here all alone.
I feel such excitement so deep within my bones.
The religious spirit is very infectious here tonight.
With reverence, I am dressed in my spotless modest white.
Everyone circles around with but a single thought.
The crowd is so restless, each hoping to find just the right spot.
Nothing will be broken on this special occasion.
Tonight is alcohol free; it’s a sacred celebration.
No one will get wasted. No one will get stoned.
Everybody will chant, until I can’t help but moan.
Tonight I will share in their old ritual game.
No one will stumble; each will take careful aim.
All will focus on one target; that is their ritual’s goal.
This is for their religion, or so I am told.
The black stone represents the light within their souls.
It is such a great privilege; I can’t even begin to mention.
I am so proud to be the center of their undivided attention.
I am extra lucky to have been chosen to share in their faith.
Listen at how the crowd shouts their “god is so great.”
Defenders of Allah’s honor need not have humility or even grace.
Why does the imam clutch that book so tight?
The poor man can barely contain his delight.
Such religious leaders are so full of faith.
So full of it, that they even say we can coexist and celebrate.
Let’s all join together and enjoy this ceremonial fling.
I am so happy that I’ve just got to sing.
♬ ♬ There is a party going on right here, a celebration to last throughout the year
Celebrate good times come on… Celebrate good times come on
cause everything’s going to be alright
It’s time to come together, let’s celebrate, everyone around the world
Yahoo! ♬
But, why is everyone now holding a stone?
I would go to ask, but I am a little tied up here in the center alone.
Ouch that hurts. Gosh that stings.
But, yet I am so happy to make Muslim friends that I can’t help but sing.
♬ ♬ Come on…It’s a celebration
Yahoo!…Yahoo ♪♫♬♩♪♫♬”

I hope that ruling gets over turned. We don’t need to preach jihad to our young. We don’t need more of our young joining ISIL. This isn’t Obama’s fault, it was Bush who made the whole damn mess, going into Iraq, instead of just focusing on Ben Laden, President Obama was told by those in power in Iraq they don’t want Americans in their country. So Obama along with his advisors set up a time table to start pulling American Troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Bush wanted revenge on what Iraq had did to his father and that is all! After all it was under Obama’s watch that Ben Laden was caught and killed.
But this propaganda on jihad a definite no!
Jay Boo says
Standard issue Islam made this mess.
It is what Muslims do every day.
Tiredofstupid says
Actually it was Bush that set up the withdrawal schedule, Obama wanted to stay longer but the Iraqi gov’t would not allow it.
Kathy Brown, Esq. says
This is unbelievable.
It’s one thing to get opposite results from Fed. courts in different parts of the country. You know: The 9th Circus Court of Appeals in San Fran Freako issues psycho decisions on a regular basis, where a different [fed] Circuit Court comes down much more rationally…
But this is…blatant.
Really awful. So dispiriting.
Angemon says
Utterly despicable.

Sam Harris (whose position on Islam isn’t entirely coherent) had an encounter with this Dean Obeidallah character recently, and wrote about it here http://www.samharris.org/blog/item/never-stop-lying

What!!!. Am I reading this right??????????????

Pam Geller is right about a lot of things. She is also like salt in a wound. We used to say, “It’s not what you say, but how you say it.” That still holds true. But, just because you can do something, does not mean you should do something. We know how people feel about an issue, and it may be different than ours, but we don’t have to intrude with our opinion.
The “boy who cried wolf” has desensitized the people from Ms. Geller. She started with the “Draw Mohammed” project because she could. It was legal, and so many of us hate Islam, it was easy. but, that is still a form of bullying. We don’t like that either. So, in return for her attitude, a judge struck down her motion. I don’t think he was a good, or even a fair, judge. She did have facts on her side. It’s just that they didn’t like the messenger. I feel pretty certain that another judge in a higher jurisdiction will change the ruling, but in the meantime, Islam is shining.
Jerome Henen says
The scariest thing is the manipulation of the western way of life and the erosion of rights under the guise of “multiculturism”.
If you oppose sharia and see value in the western belief system of freedom and equality, you must be an Islamophobic racist bigot.
The extremist propaganda seems to be winning because the west is undermining itself due to imagined guilt and atoning for past sins. Muslims are becoming a protected species, protected from criticism , protected from being punished for vile acts like rape and human mutilation, protected from the laws of the land that “ordinary”people have to abide by. They are given a free pass.
The fact that our very civilization is being eaten away by the acid of sharia seems not to register with the sheep who call themselves human , and who cannot distinguish been good and evil, because that is what it boils down to; theirs is a backward hate filled misogynistic pedophilia prone society that shuns change and whose aim is to dominate the world and or kill all infidels who refuse to convert and enslave their women. Western Judeo – Christian ideology has evolved over time and allowed for our progress , whilst Islam roots itself in medieval times and this is proven by the dire situations in most islamic countries.
