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

AFDI rolls out Boston #MBTABigots ad campaign

Nov 23, 2015 12:21 pm By Robert Spencer

An important message from Pamela Geller:

MBTA Bigots

AFDI has submitted a new ad campaign to the Boston MBTA in response to their ban on pro-Israel ads while allowing vicious antisemitic ads to run.

The Boston MBTA is running yet another series of Jew-hating ads, one after another, while refusing no less than three ad pro-Israel, counter-jihad campaigns from AFDI.

Today we submitted the above ad to run 100 buses. Contribute here.

Retweet and use the hashtag #MBTAbigots.

Boston: Anti-Semitic Ads OK, Pro-Israel Ads Forbidden

It’s not just the jihad attacks in Paris and the Muslim refugee crisis — in this age of Obama, the forces of hatred and oppression are emboldened and on the offensive everywhere. Officials all over the country are kowtowing to evil instead of standing up to it — even in unlikely places like Boston, which has just agreed to run vicious anti-Israel ads, while continuing to refuse to run our AFDI ads defending Israel and freedom.

The Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority (MBTA) has long refused to our pro-Israel/anti-jihad advertisements on their buses. And now, with their acceptance of the Jew-hating ads, their bias is naked and obvious — and anti-American and anti-freedom.

The MBTA is currently running these vicious, libelous anti-Israel ads.

But they refused our pro-Israel ads:

And they refused this pro-Israel ad:

IJH bus philly-Houston-PhoenixAnd they refused this Truth About Muhammad ad:

Muhammad quotesWe are not taking this without a fight.

You would think that officials in Boston would have more sense. In the city where Islamic jihadists sowed murder and mayhem at the Marathon, the MBTA claimed our ads criticizing Islamic anti-Semitism and jihad terror were demeaning to Muslims – as if all Muslims were Jew-haters and jihadists.

Now the MBTA has compounded its moral inversion by approving and running anti-Semitic ads that include libels and lies against Israel.

It’s beyond appalling: in a city repeatedly wracked by Islamic terror attacks — the blood of its citizens stains the streets of the city — the MBTA refused to run our ads opposing jihad.

We are never going to acquiesce to this evil. AFDI vs. Boston’s Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s (MBTA)
is going to the Supreme Court. But the costs involved are astronomical. This case is far more important than what ads run or do not run: it’s a question of whether our public forums are going to be available to all people, or whether whole segments of the American public are simply going to be silenced and disenfranchised.

 

 

The MBTA has repeatedly refused to run our pro-Israel ads, which we submitted in response to vicious anti-Israel ads. This is just the latest in a number of antisemitic ad campaigns. We are fighting the MBTA in the courts. We have filed a cert petition to SCOTUS (attached). Imagine, the city of the Boston jihad bombings refusing to run anti-jihad ads. Despicable.

    ***** ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT AND HILARIOUS ! ! ! *****

    MBTA CLOWNS ARE HANDED A TEXT MIRROR AND FORCED TO LOOK AT THEIR REFLECTION.

    Very serious situation. This is exactly the type of capitulation that the Muslims are seeking. We are giving in to them.

    What happened to free speech in the cradle of the American Revolution?

    Are Bostonians now FASCISTS joining in Jew hatred? It certainly looks that they have turned their backs on freedom of expression.

    Freedom of expression is the foundation of the American political system. Surely, Bostonians should understand free speech better than people anywhere in the world!

    The Supreme Court has a record of defending freedom of expression as a core American value.

    -Justice Clark in 1952 wrote: “…it is enough to point out that the state has no
    legitimate interest in protecting any or all religions from views distasteful
    to them. … It is not the business of government in our nation to suppress real
    or imagined attacks upon a particular religious doctrine.”
    -Justice Frankfurter noted that beliefs that are “…dear to one may seem the rankest ‘sacrilege’ to another,” and added concerning “sacrilegious” speech: “…history does not encourage reliance on the wisdom and moderation of the censor.”

    The Boston MBTA is obviously imposing an illegal censorship. Free speech is the freedom to be controversial. If the jihadists or the Boston censors want to defend their views, they should come to debate Pamela Geller or Robert Spencer.

    Obviously, they haven’t because their views haven’t a leg to stand on.

    The Pallies use violence to provoke violence so they may denounce violence. The Pallies use human shields to protect the jihadists from being hit and to use their Arab shields in propaganda. It is unconscionable to use human shields and a crime against humanity.

    Stop defending the Pally criminals…no cause justifies using human shields. The Pally crimes should be exposed and criticized.

    The Pally leaders should be tried in the World Court.

    -“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.” – Harry S. Truman

    ”You would think that officials in Boston would have more sense. In the city where Islamic jihadists sowed murder and mayhem at the Marathon,“

    Well that would require them to be competent, truth loving, patriots with common sense… But then again those words aren’t compatible with the term politician.

    This is the reaping 666

    Genius ad. The guys/gals at MBTA must be fuming…

    Boston was and remains a soft target for more ‘refugees’ like the Tsarneav terrorist animals. Boston Strong? More like Boston Bloodstained and ready for another beat down. Maybe it was because an MBTA train wasn’t attacked in the bombing that the MBTA is pro-ISIS, and pro-Terrorist. Unionized thugs and a pension fund that they are illegally blocking access to. Nope, no crime or corruption to see here, move along.

    “We can’t stand for free speech without the help of free citizens.”

    Added my drop to what I hope is a filling bucket. I’m thankful for Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller, Robert Muise, and David Yerushalmi.

    Go get ’em—and God bless you—Geller! The bigots—not just at the MTA. but in scores of political venues around the country—have forgotten, or never learned, the value of the First Amendment with regard to free speech. As Patrick Henry, an American patriot (do we have any left?) said more than 200 years ago, “I may not agree with what you say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it.” Unfortunately, the handwriting is on the wall, as more than 40% of millennials recently polled would be glad to see free speech rights curtailed—unless it’s their own.

    Freedom of speech notwithstanding; I noticed that the ad featuring the arab girl with the title VIOLENCE, has a footnote of their false and bias affirmation that 1 child dies every 10 days. Which reminded me that I always saw on those, something like Council of Whatever-The-Hell gov org fitted the case as the message sponsor. I think that’s exactly what Pam should do; because hers lack said weight One of the very first issues dealt swiftly with Wikipedia was precisely to cite sources, as to avoid seemingly to make unsupported and libelous claims. Because as already demonstrated by the ad itself, it doesn’t even have to be a legit org, or respectable association; anyone of those dubious NGOs will do just fine. Otherwise we will end losing the media war; which is even more obv tainted towards the enemy. In any event, this all makes me very sad and worried; however I’ve to admit that I found it equally unsurprising…
