Recently Pamela Gellar’s (Atlas Shrugs) organization, the American Freedom Defense Initiative, bought some advertising banners on Chicago Transit Authority buses ~
Within hours of the buses’ first runs, messages appeared on Facebook and Twitter denouncing the campaign. Many said degrading a spiritual tenet of Islam — one that refers to a Muslim’s personal quest to become a better person — amounts to hate speech.
Ah yes, “Jihad;” high-minded pillar of the Religion of Peace. Isn’t it awfully convenient that that word has a double meaning? Not that the Islamists’ motives could possibly be suspected as being duplicitous or anything…
But back to the banner ads –
“This whole campaign insinuates Muslims are violent,” said Asaf Bar-Tura, programs director for the Jewish Council on Urban Affairs, which protested the ads on social media Wednesday. “If it’s within their legal powers, (CTA) should either not put it up because they incite hate and stereotypical thinking or put a label next to each sign saying `The CTA disagrees with this ad.’ ”
The ads “incite hate?” Hello?!
Hey Asaf – what does this sort of activity “incite?” ~

San Francisco Pro-Palestinian Demonstration ~ Nov. 16, 2012
And then, direct from the Middle East, we have Mohammed Badie, Supreme Guide of the Muslim Brotherhood (that benevolent organization now running things in Egypt in the wake of the democratic movement otherwise known as the “Arab Spring”) who recently declared:
The time has come for the Islamic nation to unite around one man for the sake of Jerusalem and Palestine. The Jews have dominated the land, spread corruption on earth, spilled the blood of believers and in their actions profaned holy places, including their own…
…Zionists only understand the language of force and will not relent without duress. This will only happen through holy Jihad, high sacrifices and all forms of resistance. The day they realize we will march this path and raise the banner of Jihad for the sake of God, is the day they will relent and stop their tyranny.
Apparently Mohmmed’s personal quest to become a better person has taken him in whole new directions…
Shhhh! Don’t say “Jihad.” Wouldn’t want to insinuate that there’s anything violent in Badie’s rant.
