You can promote Islam on the side of US buses, but you can’t oppose it

AN American group established to help Muslims escape the tyranny of Islam have been told that ads they put on Miami buses are to be pulled as they may be “offensive” to members of the Religion of Peace.

The ads, placed by the Stop Islamization of America (SIOA) group asks: Fatwa on your head? Is your community or family threatening you? The suggested answer is a visit to a website called “Leave Islam.” [The Freethinker] Read more

Miami-Dade Transit bows to Sharia, pulls religious liberty bus ads as "offensive to Islam" Submission. The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations can run bus ads all over the country calling Abraham, Moses and Jesus Muslim prophets, an assertion offensive to any Jew or Christian, but a human rights group cannot run bus ads defending religious liberty.

Some groups that are "offended" get contempt and mockery if they express their feelings of offense. Others get immediate results, perhaps due to the thuggish nature of their coreligionists. [Jihad Watch] Read more

Stop Islamization of America has their ad campaign derailed .... This ad was apparently designed for the purpose of promoting freedom of religion. Obviously, the purpose is a bit more sinister once you start to dig deeper into what Spencer and Geller are promoting here.

The ad includes an address to a website: refugefromislam.com. Go ahead and check out that web site. What do you find there? A web site dedicated to slandering Islam and promoting the views of Spencer and Geller. [Omer Subhani] Read more [via Loonwatch]
