| Ohio "Jihad" Campaign Draws fire from CAIR |
| 2006-09-24 |
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A car dealership's tongue-in-cheek radio advertisement declaring "a jihad on the automotive market," will not be changed...Several stations rejected the spot from Dennis Mitsubishi, which boasts that sales representatives wearing "burqas" ... will sell vehicles that can "comfortably seat 12 jihadists in the back..."Using that as a promotional pitch when so many are dying from the criminal activity of suicide bombers, that's not funny," [local CAIR]chapter president Asma Mobin-Uddin said. |

| #1 Welcome to the land of free speech, asshole. Now go back to your office and scribble up some more drivel about those Danish cartoons. Unlike your Islamic utopias, we don't work overtime trying to prosecute bad taste. |
