Am I the only one that doesn't see this as "News"?

Paid for by the "American Freedom Defense Initiative." Yeah, sounds legit.

The Anti-Defamation League has classified the American Freedom Defense Initiative as an anti-Islamic hate group. It is not a Jewish group. It was founded by conservative blogger Pamela Geller, who is famous for leading the fight against Park51 in 2010 (otherwise known as the Ground Zero Mega Mosque), and whipping up anti-Islamic sentiment in the Tea Party movement. You can read more about her here.

Why is it socially acceptable for that Jewish group to put up racist posters? What other religious or racial group can get away with that shit?

Judaism and Islam are very similar religions. I'm sad that some people don't think Muslims and Jews can live in peace, but they have so much in common. I'm glad that others feel the way I do.

Edit: Grammar

Note to reddit : this is how free speech works, not spray painting the ad you don't like.

I just find it so unbelievable that they still call each other "savages" when they both basically live the same life. Who approved these messages anyway?

The letter doesn't mention the other half of the concept of Jihad. Yes, there's an "inner struggle" part, but there's the "outer struggle" element. The struggle against "enemies of Islam," which, in the eyes of many extremists, means violent action towards other Islamic people, Jews/Israel, etc.

Do your research before defending this, guys.

Looked up the organization: The Dialogue Project

Is this unintended irony?

Israel has acted poorly over the years and there are enough parallels with regard to actions on either side to merit comparison.

Free speech is great because it reveals people for who they really are. The use of the word savage to describe anyone opposed to the Jewish state or its politics is demeaning and disturbing, probably like the rest of her ideology.

officinalis · 2012-09-29T16:48:29+00:00

Fuck the American Freedom Defense Initiative.

Hero_Of_Sandwich · 2012-09-29T17:05:41+00:00

Too bad most people who see the sane advertisement are just going to think "tl;dr".

Brushstroke · 2012-09-29T17:21:55+00:00

It is true that Judaism and Islam have much in common and could live in peace with each other, but it is certainly not true that either of the two religions are religions of peace when it comes to modern society. The only good, decent Jews and Muslims are those who are secular.

Nice definition of Jihad you got there. Too bad such definition isn't backed up with Quranic verses.

Quran 4:95:

Not equal are those believers remaining [at home] - other than the disabled - and the mujahideen, [who strive and fight] in the cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives. Allah has preferred the mujahideen through their wealth and their lives over those who remain [behind], by degrees. And to both Allah has promised the best [reward]. But Allah has preferred the mujahideen over those who remain [behind] with a great reward -

Some small Jewish group condemns the ad. Probably a group of 2 people.

mammalsauce · 2012-09-29T16:15:39+00:00

Really shameful. Shows that liberal Jews are weak and too PC to understand that Jihad in the koran is War to be made on the infidel who does not believe in Islam. If she thinks she is a Jewish Jihadi then she is a Jew who is commanded by the God of Islam and kill and murder Jews. Does not compute.
