New York – Two religious groups will hang ads urging tolerance alongside anti-jihad advertisements in New York City subways that equate Muslim radicals with savages.

The ads by Rabbis for Human Rights – North America and the Christian group Sojourners will go up Monday.
The New York Times (http://nyti.ms/SxgsGN ) reports that they’ll hang in the 10 Manhattan subway stations where the anti-jihad ads implying enemies of Israel are “savages” appear.
The rabbis’ ad says: “In the choice between love and hate, choose love. Help stop bigotry against our Muslim neighbors.”
The Christian ad says: “Love your Muslim neighbors.”
On Wednesday, another group, United Methodist Women, placed pro-Muslim ads in the subway. They say: “Hate speech is not civilized.”
The American Freedom Defense Initiative is behind the anti-jihad ads
The rabbis’ ad says: “In the choice between love and hate, choose love. Help stop bigotry against our Muslim neighbors.”
I think rather a simple ad denouncing the ad and a disclaimer from the Jewish Rabbi’s would have been enough. While Muslims world wide are spewing hate on the Jewish people at any opportunity they have; I think their ad has gone a bit too far.
Where does the add say anything about Muslims. I wonder why everyone assumes so?
Good for them. How nice.
Who says it is antimuslum. I attended a graduation at Harvard, you know, the school in Cambridge (that’s in massachusetts not england) when the lead student speaker said to all schools audiance that the word “jihad” is not moslom but just an arab work meaning “challenge”. So, I see no problem with chalenge.
what a kiddush hasm this will show the world we have no problems with the muslim world …
this will bring friendship and achudus between all the children of abraham ..
Not all Molems are Jihadists, but without question all who beleive in Jihad are Moslems.
I can’t wait for the Moslems to absorb the message from the campaign and stop the hate speech that the spew on Arabic language stations throughout the Moslem world.
Some of the (Islamic) staff at my office were telling the joke which centered around a missing son at the airport. “So I started shouting Jihad! Jihad!”
