| FBI pulls ‘Faces of Global Terrorism’ ads after Muslims get offended |
| 2013-06-26 |
| After a wave of criticism from politicians, advocacy groups and the public, 46 bus ads featuring photos of wanted terrorists will be taken down within the next few weeks, officials said Tuesday. The “Faces of Global Terrorism” ad was criticized for promoting stereotypes of Muslims and painting a broad brush against one group. The ad is part of a campaign launched earlier this month by the Puget Sound Joint Terrorism Task Force for the U.S. Department of State’s Rewards for Justice program. It features 16 photos of wanted terrorists sandwiched between the taglines “Faces of Global Terrorism” and “Stop a Terrorist. Save Lives. Up to $25 Million Reward.” |

| #3 Thirty two people are on the most wanted terrorist list. By my count, 30 are muslims. 1 is an alumnus of the Black Liberation Army and was last seen in 1984. 1 is an animal rights terrorist. |

| #2 Does that mean they'll take all the wanted posters out of the Post Offices? |

| #1 Reality promotes some stereotypes. Therefore, we must stop showing reality. |
