San Francisco Leaders Denounce Bus Ads About Islam | ||
2013-03-12 | ||
Good little dhimmies. Civic officials joined Arab and Muslim leaders to denounce what they call offensive anti-Islamic ads that will appear on 10 buses for the next month in San Francisco.
At least one of the ads contains a quote attributed to the militant Islamic group Hamas that reads: "Killing Jews is worship that brings us closer to Allah." Officials said the ads were racist. "These offensive ads serve no purpose than to denigrate our city's Arab and Muslim communities," District Attorney George Gascon said on Monday.
Board of Supervisors president David Chiu was expected to introduce a resolution on Tuesday condemning the ads. Similar ads have appeared on transit systems in Washington, D.C., Chicago and Portland, Ore. The group ran similar ads in San Francisco in August and has also posted ads in New York City, including one in September that called enemies of Israel "savages." Officials with San Francisco's Municipal Transportation Authority believe a First Amendment court decision protecting freedom of speech means it must accept the advertising. As it did last summer, the transit agency plans to give the $5,000 paid for the ads to the city's Human Rights Commission to study the impact of discrimination on San Francisco's Islamic communities and run its own ads against discrimination. | ||
