Washington – Ads on 20 Metro buses in the nation’s capital link Adolf Hitler with Islam, portraying “Islamic Jew-hatred.”

The ads, placed by American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), show a photo of Hitler conversing with “his staunch ally” Haj Amin al-Husseini, grand mufti of Jerusalem during WWII. The ads are scheduled to run until mid-June according to AFP.
“Islamic Jew-hatred: It’s in the Quran. Two-thirds of all US aid goes to Islamic countries. Stop racism. End all aid to Islamic countries,” states the ad, in addition to a disclaimer from the Metro transit authority.
Metro says they cannot remove the ads based on a case from 2012 that states bus advertisements are included in free speech protected by the Constitution.
The campaign is an attempt to raise funds of $20,000 by Friday through an online fund that has accumulated $7,500 as of Tuesday.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim civil rights group, strongly condemns the campaign, and is developing its own ads in response to AFDI.
AFDI co-founder Pamela Geller says the advertisements are a response to previous bus signs placed on buses in April by American Muslims for Palestine that read, “Stop US aid to Israel’s occupation.”
“AFDI co-founder Pamela Geller says the advertisements are a response to previous bus signs placed on buses in April by American Muslims for Palestine that read, “Stop US aid to Israel’s occupation.” Gee, sounds like they can dish it out but they can’t take it.,..but it is pretty cruel to offend our much beloved, most effective, Muslim-born president Obama with such ads, despite how truthful they are.
If the shoe fits, wear it.
Finally the truth!
I’ve been speaking about that clear connection for years…
hitler and the mufti of Jerusalem ysv were best friends.
Wouldn’t it have been better to have a sign that said “If Moslems can have their Islamic countries, why can’t Jews keep a Jewish one?” or “Israel is the Jewish homeland. That’s why Jews are its occupants.”
