I thought it was awful....... but in snooping around to the original story it seems that the people that are doing this are Jewish sympathisers and are actually wanting the reaction that I was having. Killing Jews really is worship to real Islamists and it should upset everyone who reads this on the buses. http://www.christiantoday.com/article/ad.saying.killing.jews.is.worship.will.not.be.banned.from.new.york.buses/52595.htm A "savage" and "demeaning" advert created by a pro-Israel organisation will go up on New York buses following a controversial ruling by a federal judge, reports the Washington Post. The advert created for the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) reads: "Killing Jews is Worship that draws us close to Allah" and features next to an image of a young man in a chequered headscarf. It is designed to highlight what the AFDI argues are Muslim attitudes to Jews. The advert was originally rejected by New York's Metropolitan Transport Authority (MTA), which said that they were "savage" and demeaned Muslims and Palestinians. However, US District Judge John Koeltl has ruled that the MTA cannot stop the ads from running. In his judgment he said that MTA officials "underestimate the tolerant quality of New Yorkers and overestimate the potential impact of these fleeting advertisements". He added: "Moreover, there is no evidence that seeing one of these advertisements on the back of a bus would be sufficient to trigger a violent reaction. Therefore, these ads—offensive as they may be—are still entitled to First Amendment protection." He pointed out that the same ad had run in Chicago and San Francisco without incident.

Guest shiloh357 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 If any Jews are murdered and their murders can be linked to that sign, the judge should be arrested as an accessory to murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me though if someone gets killed because of said sign, the judge can't be held accountable. He made the right call, freedom of speech. Even if the speech is stupid, one has the right to be less then intelligent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would do it without the ad as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shiloh357 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 This is not protected speech. Talking about taking someone's life and calling it worship is inciting it. That is not covered anywhere under the Constitution. If I glorified the idea of killing my next door neighbor and called it "worship," he could rightfully take me to court.

Guest shiloh357 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 They would not need incentive, but that doesn't mean anyone should be free to encourage it and glorify it as worship. I doubt anyone one of us would take this lightly if WE were on the receiving end of something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To a jihadist killing Jews is worship..... and soon here Christians too. Muslims don't need incentive, but others need reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shiloh357 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 It only takes one... And it might give someone some incentive who was sitting on the fence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
