   We are treated to propaganda all over the Washington metro, so it is only a matter of time this type of message is posted.

   At Metro Center station in Washington, there are posters all over stating, “In reality there is no such thing as clean coal.” It is like being in the novel 1984. In other stations, there are gigantic posters proclaiming “Change” for an IKEA advertisement.

   Only a matter of time before we have posters exclaiming “Islam” here in Washington.

   Also, last summer when I was in Kansas City I saw a bearded Mohammedan wearing a T-shirt with this same advertisement of “Why Islam.” He was with his two kids. Crazy we are letting these type of people into our country.

   Knowing San Francisco, they will probably invoke the Fairness Doctrine and mandate these signs be placed on the sides of Christian churches.

   Of course, Christian signs on mosques would be considered hate speech.

   Gabe, I thought the IKEA ones were kind of clever, but I’m tired of the onsaught of liberal advocacy ads on the Metro too.

   Remember the atheist ads around Christmas? Those guys ought to go tell the ICNA people not to believe in a god. I’d like to see that.

    In the United States we have this quaint thing called the First Amendment. Perhaps you have heard of it?

    I am a Christian, but if a Mulsim wants to buy advertising on a bus they have the RIGHT to do so. And I will defend with every ounce of my being their right to do that.

    When one person or group is not ALLOWED to express themselves no one is safe from oppression. The only thing that will change are the oppressors.

    call from numbers at w*rk, and school, and every pay phone that still exists, since sooner or later, they will begin to block repeat sources.

    call and ask for the free info, and have it sent to fake names, and non-existent addresses. let them pay for everything.

    Not that I wish to appear intolerant of the sweet little jihadist, absolutely not. I have NO problem with the jihadist advertising on a bus- I just don’t want jihadist in my country.

    Yeah, I was in San Francisco two weeks ago and I saw one of those on a street car.

    But you know what? I’m glad. I’m glad that I live in a country where a religion that is, for the most part, still in the dark ages has to resort to buying advertising to gain followers. Islam historically gained new followers by coercion. Now they’re paying money to try to amicably persuade people to visit their web site. This is progress. Maybe someday we’ll see ads like this in Israel or Iraq.

    As others have said, why not? “Separation of church and state” is bunk. Also – atheist groups in the UK have put ads on busses, should THEY be allowed if religion isn’t?

    But you’re ultimately missing the point. Unless you’re from the Rosie O’Donnell school of thought, Zombie makes it very clear that the goals of this Islamic group are simple: shari’a law.

    Which is no where in the same universe as Christian theology that liberals seem so damned afraid of.

    All those gays in the Castro district may have been “offended” by Prop. 8, but at least they’re still alive. Under shari’a law, their existence is illegal, and they’ll likely be killed.

    But, quite frankly, I’m to the point now where political correctness and liberal moral relativity have shat on the religious freedoms of Christians and the political views of conservatives, that I know this is inevitable.

    Islam will use political correctness to its own ends. And it will attempt – at least in pockets in the US be successful, too – at imposing shari’a law. It’s already making those steps in the UK. England will soon not be a safe place to travel.

    Kiss all the “progress” made by Barack Obama goodbye then. Abortion, gay rights, feminism, environmentalistm – all will be gone. Hell, we’ll be lucky if women are allowed to GO TO SCHOOL or WORK or DRIVE or VOTE because we’re second-class citizens, you know. Think of the women in your life – how will they (how will YOU) like it if they have to wear burquas in public and are stoned or lashed for being raped? Or killed for bringing “dishonor”?

    And don’t come crying to conservatives because we warned you and we’ll be too busy protecting ourselves from shari’a law.

    How’s this for an ad:

    A person bound and on their knees; close by is someone standing while wearing a mask. The person in the mask is holding out both hands – in one, a knife, in the other, a Koran. The caption: “Why Islam?”

    I think we are all missing something here: This ad is paid for by a couple of Islam groups that want people to become Christians.

    Islam does not believe in God–they believe in Allah. Allah is not the one true God–and anyone who thinks otherwise has not done their research.

    I agree with Flyoverman (#13)who says that the ads are allowed by of the First Amendment. And I agree with sonofdy (#33, among others, that the ad is fine so long as other groups can do the same.

    The issue we should have is the discrimination against Christianity in public fora, not that particular non-Christian religious or atheist messages are advertised. (Note: I’m not defending crudely offensive ads for anyone, and prefer decent timing–so no “God is dead” ads at Christmas.)

    I wish, though, that less radical Islamic organizations were sponsoring the ads. They shouldn’t get the audience that these ads will give them, and they distort Islam.

    Christians open fire on Muslims at prayer!

    http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/025109.php

    One woman has died and 28 people have been injured in an attack on the Presbyterian Christian community in the village of Songo, in the district of Gujranwala, province of Punjab. The attack took place on the evening of March 2: at 8 p.m., a group of Muslim inhabitants opened fire on the faithful who had gathered in the church for prayer. The woman, named Shakeela, died on the spot, while other members of the faithful suffered injuries of various kinds while they were seeking to flee from the bullets or to protect the pastor. The attackers broke the windows of the church, destroyed the Bibles and the other prayer books, and removed the cross from the roof of the building.

    Put that on your bus. It would be too long, but you get the idea.

    Stillwaiting – the Muslims are wrong in that case. As we learn in the New Testament, God is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus was the Son of God, not a prophet; hence His ability to die for all our sins and saving those who believe this–and in Him.

    The Jews seem to have an incomplete picture of God as they believe His Son has not arrived yet–but I am not sure, so any Jew reading feel free to correct this.

    The Muslims believe that Mohammed was given the ultimate word of God, but considering that it came hundreds of years after Jesus’s resurrection, and the fact that the Koran (sp?) contradicts God’s love in many cases, they are not worshiping the one true God.

    And I agree that the Muslims and Jews have a flawed understanding of God. But they are following the same God we do…they just (and I don’t mean “just” because this is HUGE) don’t understand how He wants to be followed. The Muslims and Jews acknowledge the same prophets and teachings we do up until the time of Jesus. That’s when they went astray (and of course they think Christians went astray).

    The talk about atheists piqued my interests so I want to clarify some things:

    see-dubya:

    Remember the atheist ads around Christmas? Those guys ought to go tell the ICNA people not to believe in a god. I’d like to see that.

    Actually, by the very fact that they advertise they ARE telling Muslims (at least any that can read) what they think.

    Englishqueen:

    Also – atheist groups in the UK have put ads on busses, should THEY be allowed if religion isn’t?

    The young lady that started the atheist bus campaign in England was reacting to a religious ad for a website she saw on a bus. When she visited the website out of curiousity, she learned that the web masters apparently advocate the idea that she is going to hell. She reacted by motivating atheists to fund thier own ads that read “There probably is no god, so quit worrying and enjoy your life” or something to that effect.

    This prompted at least one religious organization to try and get the ads removed claiming they violated some kind of “truth in advertising law.” Ironically, however, religous groups starting funded ads that said; in no uncertain terms, in constant to the atheist word “probably”; there is a God.

    But, quite frankly, I’m to the point now where political correctness and liberal moral relativity have shat on the religious freedoms of Christians and the political views of conservatives, that I know this is inevitable.

    …and yet, to admit to being an atheist is more or less political suicide, and we are the oppressors?

    Now to be completely fair, I personally think the “Christmas ads” in question were unduly cruel and probably not the best face forward that atheists could present. However, again in the interest of fairness, not all religious types aren’t always the nicest people once they find out you are an atheist.

    Finally, any intellectually honest atheist must admit (as I myself do) that Islam is among the most disgusting of religions and Allah is a brutal beast (Yahweh of the Old Testament isn’t far behind, but then, they are the same guy, aren’t they?) I think, perhaps, that since so often the only atheists that are willing to admit to being atheists are liberal ones (draw your own conclusions here, it should be obvious), you end up with some kind of weird “PC atheist” that isn’t scared to condemn Christians but stops short of Muslims in the interest of “multiculturalism.” Again, however, this is not true of any intellectually honest atheist, indeed, many of the most famous; Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, and Sam Harris; all go to great lengths to condemn Muslims in their books. Sam Harris opens his “End of Faith” by condemning Muslims.

    Thank you.
