For years we have warned against Islamization. What does it look like? This. The billboard company is happy to promote Islam, but desperately afraid to post something that might appear to be offensive to Islam, even if it is an offer of help to girls who are threatened. And the billboard company is just one of a legion of cowards and dhimmis.
“Pamela Geller: Dallas Billboard Company Refuses My Ad Offering Help to At-Risk Muslim Girls,” by Pamela Geller, Breitbart, March 18, 2019:
It is quickly becoming impossible to criticize any aspect of Islam, no matter how violent or repressive, in the public square. My latest billboard battle is a case in point.
A month ago, a number of concerned Texans wrote me about a hijab promotion campaign on Outfront (previously known as CBS Outdoor) billboards running in Dallas. Local media wrote it up in glowing terms, of course.
KERA News ran a puff piece with the enthusiastic headline “Billboard Campaign In Dallas Aims To Dispel Misconceptions About Islam And The Hijab.” It featured a large photo of the billboard itself, which read “Respect – Honor – Strength. HIJAB. The Dress of Modesty.” It also offered a phone number for those with “questions about Islam and women.” Not a word, of course, about the many girls and women who have been threatened and even killed for not wearing the hijab in a practice commonly known as “honor killing.” This ad’s use of the word “honor” is especially cynical.
And then, of course, comes the post-ad followup describing horrific responses to the ad. The New York Post just ran yet another Muslims-are-victims-of-Islamophobia piece: “Muslim call center gets hundreds of hate calls for promoting hijabs on billboard.”
American media companies run these ads without hesitation, for fear of violating Islamic mores and traditions and appearing “Islamophobic” — a thought-crushing device designed to silence criticism of Islam, thereby enforcing sharia. The ads garner media attention, paint Muslims as victims, admonish Americans for things they haven’t done, and decry a non-existent epidemic of Islamophobia.
This billboard is the handiwork of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA). Neither KERA News nor any other news outlet that ran glowing coverage of this billboard bothered to mention that ICNA, according to terrorism expert Steven Emerson, and a report by Discover the Networks, is linked to radial Islamic movements such as the Muslim Brotherhood, the pro-Sharia organization from which Hamas and al-Qaeda come.
Says Emerson: “The ICNA’s hatred of the Jews is so fierce that it taunted them with a repetition of what Hitler did to them… The ICNA openly supports militant Islamic fundamentalist organizations, praises terror attacks, issues incendiary attacks on western values and policies, and supports the imposition of Sharia.”
ICNA’s January 2019 conference, with 20,000 attendees, featured a disquieting roster of participants and speakers with extremist views on slavery, homosexuality and Jews.
My organization, the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), on the other hand, is a human rights group dedicated to freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and individual rights. We have been targeted for death multiple times and escaped death in recent assassination attempts because of our work in defense of freedom.
AFDI submitted an ad to run on Dallas billboards right next to ICNA’s hijab “honor and respect” ad. But as of this writing, I have had to revise the ad over a dozen times to comply with Outfront (CBS) Outdoor’s constantly changing ad policy.
The first ad I submitted featured photos of a number of Muslim girls who were honor-murdered by their families for refusing to wear the hijab. Above the photos was the legend, “Muslim Girls Killed By Their Families Because They Refused Hijab,” and underneath, “Are you forced to wear hijab? Is your family threatening you? We can help. Go to FightforFreedom.us.”
Outdoor wouldn’t allow that; its General Manager Zack Danielson wrote me: “Good morning. I just received word that we cannot accept this copy due to the top tag line ‘Muslim Girls Killed By Their Families Because They Refused Hijab’. Is there any way you all can remove that line and leave everything else as is? Thank you.”
I responded: “But they were honor murdered by their families because they did not want to wear hijab – they wanted to be free. If I take that line out nobody understands who those girls are and by the way there from America and Canada. So what would be acceptable? ‘Honor killed by their families’ Would that work?”
To that, Senior Account Executive Sammy Tamporello replied: “I understand what you are saying, but as mentioned below whether I agree or not ultimately I cannot post creative that goes against our companies [sic] policy/approval process. Anything with the killed, murdered, or type of violence is not going to get approved.”
So I changed the top line to “Muslim Girls Who Refused the Hijab – R.I.P.” Tamporello responded: “Thanks for your assistance. If you all can eliminate the RIP, we will be good to go and I can send over the contract.” I said: “Sammy, I cannot eliminate the RIP – those girls are dead. How else would you have me convey that message? How about, ‘Rest in peace.’” Then I sent in a new ad reading: “In Memory of the Muslim Girls Who Refused Hijab.”
That was refused as well. Tamporello wrote: “Our corporate office just informed me that the top line needs to be removed or needs to not include a ‘death reference’ i.e. In Memory, RIP, or Condolences, etc.”
Then I wrote: “Sammy, Can you explain how Outfront is running a campaign promoting the hijab but refuses to allow a campaign offering help to Muslim girls who don’t want to wear the hijab? Why? Why would Outftont take sides against freedom in Texas of all places. What wording would Outfront if not in memoriam? Is there a decision maker I can speak with?” To that, Zack Danielson wrote: “We are happy to seek approval for your campaign with a message that is positive in nature. If you would like to send me the revised creative I would be happy to pass it along to our legal team.”
I answered: “Zack, Isn’t the message positive? We offer sanctuary to girls whose life is in dangerous. Saving a life. What could be more positive than that?” Danielson responded: “How about offering a positive message that speaks to that exactly, with a tagline that reads: We offer a sanctuary to young woman / girls who may feel that there life is in danger.” Note that in Danielson’s “positive” ad, all reference to the girls being in danger because they refused to wear hijab was removed.
This is in Texas, where Amina and Sarah Said were honor-murdered in cold blood by their father, according to police. But we can’t talk about it. Nothing remotely critical of Islam can be discussed.
Finally, I submitted an ad reading: “Are you forced to wear hijab? Is your family threatening you?” And underneath the photos: “These girls could have been saved.”
To that updated submission, Outdoor has not yet responded….

The “modesty” model in tender pastels, with lowered eyes etc. shows how easily superficial impressions can affect the mind. She really does not depict modesty (bad Allah – making something wrong with the normal free expression of her head, eyes, hair, neck, arms, shoulders, legs etc. – but curiously not to any stray ‘swinging dick’ – how unfair!)
What the uniform really signifies is uncaring females who gain cheap head-pats, membership cards, and bogus crowns while helping to falsely downgrade, dehumanize, and injure their fellow women (you know – the ones who fancy themselves self-sufficient, worthy, and totally dignified in their own very excellent self-assessment – and with no badges needed from lesser sorts who wish to bag them).
Headbags and bodybags are really not at all the repositories of virtue. They’re the repositories of Islam.
James Lincoln says
I hope and pray every day that the United States does not reach the point where Robert Spencer states something like:
“The United States is finished.”
That would spell the end of any semblance of freedom in the Western world.
But at the rate that we are going, we are only 15-20 years behind the UK, which is indeed, finished as a free society.
Frank Anderson says
J.L. please let me share with you a teaching I have never heard in a Christian church: “Pray as though everything depends on God; ACT as though everything depends on us.” I am convinced that God acts through us. What is the purpose of always leaving the work of any kind of “salvation” to one person. Until Jesus returns we can either make the world better by our actions or let it go to pieces waiting for someone else to do our work. What kind of world do we wish to pass on to future generations? I hope you agree.

Important quote, Frank.
Frank Anderson says

James Lincoln says
Frank,
A truly great quote, I am surprised that I’ve never heard it before. Thanks for sharing it.
You stated:
“Until Jesus returns we can either make the world better by our actions or let it go to pieces waiting for someone else to do our work.”
I could not agree more.
Frank Anderson says
James, you wrote once that you read many of my notes. I hope I make clear my great love for what I learn from many sources because it all adds to a strong picture of good guidance. There is a teaching in Judaism (remember that whatever else Jesus was or is, he was definitely first of all an observant Jew), that each of us working together can make the difference that some people would wait for some person in the future to accomplish. As disliked as the word “collective” is for good reason today, the teaching is called the “collective messiah”. If we wait the muslims will prevail; and liberty and freedom will die.
James Lincoln says
Frank,
Yes I do read many of your notes. They are always well thought out and it’s obvious that they originate from a “man of wisdom”.
You stated:
“If we wait the muslims will prevail; and liberty and freedom will die.”
This is absolutely true – and at the same time very frightening.
I have tried to do my small part – the best that I can:
-I currently read / Post on Jihad Watch to educate myself – and possibly others.
-I have conducted a self-study evidence-based program on Islam for at least the past three years.
-I donate to all of the major anti-jihad organizations.
-I try to educate family, friends, acquaintances, etc. regarding the problems with Islam.
-I support political candidates who are aware of the dangers of Islam.
-I work with my state legislature on issues regarding sharia law, FGM, etc.
-I have been deployed to the Middle East as a US military physician while providing medical support for the Global War on Terrorism.
-And I pray…
That being said, it is an uphill battle and I’ve probably come up short. And not everyone can be a Robert Spencer…
Keep posting Frank and enjoy your evening.
Frank Anderson says
James, thank you for all you do. Think about the difference in Custer’s Last Stand and Roarke’s Drift. Thinking, judgment and preparation can make a huge difference in outcome. Let’s light some more candles.

FYI says
Why is islam being promoted at all,why is it promoted over all other religious beliefs and is being supported by the RED-GREEN Axis and financed no doubt by Globalists?Why are muslims quietly proliferating in all countries in the dar al harb,even in places like Japan?
The RED-GREEN Axis have a shared hatred of christianity and the Globalists are keen to have greater control over humanity{provided by islam or its Vatican-sponsored,Bergolio-led illegitimate offspring,CHRISLAM}
Here’s a few clues..
1.”the messenger of allah said,the most hated of men before allah on the day of resurrection,
and the most wretched,and the man most hated to him,will be a man who was called MALIK AL AMLAK
{“king of kings”} for there is no king but allah”
Sahih Muslim vol5 hadith # 5611
Malik Al Amlak is..Jesus Christ{the only one who fits that title Revs 19 v16}
If allah{“the best of deceiver” greatest enemy is Jesus Christ then allah is not GOD and islam is not good!
2.”In the muslim community,the holy war is a religious duty,because of the universalism of the muslim mission
and the obligation to CONVERT EVERYBODY to islam,either by PERSUASION or by FORCE”
ibn khaldun {muqqadimah}
That includes POLITICAL subversion aided by the Left..
3 islam:A religion with..
a false god{allah “the best of deceivers” k3:54}
a false “prophet” muhammed{a mass-murdering {abu Dawud 4390} liar{al tabari 6:111}..}
a false scripture that preaches contrary to the Exodus 20 laws of God
a false religion that preaches HATRED{al walaa wal baraa}and gives you 3 choices{Sahih muslim 19:4294}
CONVERT,PAY THE JIZYA TAX,or face DEATH
islam:the religion of antiChrist
“And fight them…until religion is for allah”
koran 2 v 193
Those who understand Biblical prophecy{…that certainly won’t be atheists who won’t get it or muslims,since allah unwittingly reveals in k4:171 that he doesn’t know where Prophecy comes from..}..can figure it out:
allah wants to take over the World{but in the Judeo-Christian understanding,God ALREADY owns the World}
muslims don’t get the “BEST OF DECEIVERS” reference to allah{k3:54}

If this is the only billboard operator in the area, there must be other ways and media to carry the message. There is always the simple “mouth to ear” “person to person” that is really hard to stop until the Gestapo is in control. Search the story on the White Rose in Nazi Germany to see how bad things can get if we let them.
CRUSADER says
AMEN !
Frank Anderson says
C., I have “earned the right” in Dale Carnegie terms from experience to refuse to endure the insults and domination of evil people. There is always a Plan B, or C, or D or whatever is needed to crush evil and strengthen what is right. Nothing, Nothing, is worth submitting to slavery of any form.
The Two Great Lessons of the Exodus:
1. No matter how well things start, they change.
2. God does not want any of His Children (ALL who call upon Him as Father) to live under any form of oppression or slavery.
These are directly in defiance of all that is taught and practiced by islam, “the final, perfect, complete and unchangeable statement of god”.
CRUSADER says
1) No plan survives first contact with an enemy.
2) Christ came to redeem all …yet to save the many. (It is a narrow path.)
Frank Anderson says
C., there is a difference that I observe between the “German” plan and “Soviet” plan in WWII. Before Hitler went wild meddling in the conduct of the campaign, officers on the scene made decisions to advance while bypassing strong points, so the strong points were isolated and captured at much lower cost than if attacked head on. This was best illustrated in the attack on France and Holland before surrounding the enclave at Dunkirk, where Hitler halted the offensive for political reasons, starting a devastating practice of interference with what were otherwise excellent plans.
Example-Leningrad-advance delayed 6 weeks for a meaningless diversion of motorized forces to Kiev, which led to a siege lasting 900 days and tying up a million German troops with supplies and weapons. What would have been the outcome if those million troops had been available for fighting on other fronts and campaigns after the capture of Leningrad as planned?.
The Soviet plan established rigid goals and timetables regardless of the cost. Look at the number of Soviet attacks that had limited gains, and which in many cases were reversed by German counterattacks. Any plan that is rigid will as the long-established quote says fail on first contact.
As brothers and sisters of Jesus, should we do what we can to help now?

C., Railroads were Germany’s weakness in WWII. They never seem to have learned how to use multiple track crews to extend a line. One crew could extend a line about 10 km per day. They were so poor for fuel, the coal burning locomotives were needed to move the vast majority of tonnage and miles needed for their campaign. They were able to build 8 locomotives per day and repair many damaged ones to keep the movements going as well as they did. What could they have done if they had not spent all of the trains that they did on the Holocaust?
With the weapons and sensors today, not even mentioning the near future, reliance on railroads while under air attack is to me doubtful. “Profit by the mistakes of others. . .”

A couple of decades ago, I had friends who provided billboards for advertising. There are “rules” and there are “policies.”
But this is just plain islam influence. The guys at that company…if none of them are moslims…are afraid of angering the moslims in the area. The ‘holy land foundation’ was not in Texas because of the Cowboys, or the Rangers. There are a whole, heck of a, lot of moslims in Texas, esp the Metroplex (Dallas, Ft.Worth, Arlington, and about a dozen smaller cities). The various campuses of UT are overrun with moslim students and most have their extended families there and they ***stay*** after leaving the university. There are whole hordes of them.
I’ve not familiar with the word “creative” being made into a noun, but someone needs to get creative if this ad is going to be published. It could be that no matter how it is said, the company won’t “send the contract.” They may have to face a lawsuit in order to get them to comply. Like the buses.
Perhaps they would print with, “Their families sent them home without hijab.” Make the word “death” hidden from the moslims and the billboard staff.
One time I was having an argument with a moslim and he was being very abusive, so I said, “You can’t get blood from a turnip,” He had no clue what I meant and I had the delight of not explaining it.
If moslims are making the decisions, perhaps a slang could be used that Texans would understand, but not moslims.

Somehistory, I’m afraid most people know little to nothing about Islam. The line “their families sent them home without hijab” would prove meaningless to most people.

There are a lot of people, religious people, in Texas who use the term “they have gone home” or “God called them home” when speaking of their dead. I have so many experiences of having conversations with Texans, that I feel sure many of them of them would get it. Not everyone, but many. So if Ms. Geller can come up with a way to use this, she will get through to many in that area…if the company will publish her ad.
somehistory says
There have also been a lot of White women and some Black who have married moslims who went there to attend UTA and the campus in Dallas. All…without exception…of the ones I actually knew or knew about, wore the ugly scarf. Their families would understand…their non moslim family members. And Texans talk.
