[Ynet] American Freedom Defense Initiative campaign seeks to pressure US to cut aid to Islamic countries by recalling Nazi-era alliance.
...late Fuehrer of Germany, founder of the Third Reich, currently communing with his pals Himmler and Heydrich. He is reincarnated every few days as a politician somebody doesn't like... are out on the streets of Washington, and the US capital's transit authority says it is legally powerless to ban them. The elongated broadsides on 20 Metro buses feature a photo of the Nazi German dictator in conversation with "his staunch ally" Haj Amin al-Husseini, grand mufti of Jerusalem during World War II. "Islamic Jew-hatred: It's in the Koran. Two-thirds of all US aid goes to Islamic countries. Stop racism. End all aid to Islamic countries," the ad states, over a fine-print disclaimer from the Metro Transit Authority. The ads, which are to run until mid-June, were placed by the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), which aims to "raise awareness of the depredations of Islamic supremacism", according to its website. It hopes the campaign will raise $20,000 by Friday via an online crowd-funding campaign that, as of Tuesday, had yielded about $7,500. "We're not able to refuse ads on the basis of content," a spokeswoman for Metro told AFP, citing a 2012 court case that allowed another AFDI bus ad on the grounds that it was free speech. On its website, AFDI co-founder Pamela Geller called the campaign a direct response to like-sized Washington bus ads placed in April by American Moslems for Paleostine which read: "Stop US aid to Israel's occupation." As Moslem leader in then British-ruled Paleostine, Husseini sought Hitler's support for an Arab and Moslem homeland that would be free of Jews. Council on American-Islamic Relations ... the Moslem Brüderbund's American arm ... (CAIR) front man Ibrahim Hooper said that such "inflammatory" ads were clearly intended "to promote hatred of Islam and Moslems". He told AFP that CAIR is developing on its own bus ads "to promote mutual understanding as a response to Geller's hate ad". In the meantime, he added, it's giving away free Korans. | |

| #9 RJ remembers Ach! Mein Koph! Which was the long-time tag line of Bayer Aspirin, usually used humorously for instance when a Landser is under fire from US 155 howitzers, he would approach the camera and Speedy AlkaSeltzer would hand him a Bayer Aspirin. Then smiles all around. |

| #1 Pamela Geller is doing God's work. The terrorists and their sympathizers don't like it when the shoe is on the other foot and people actually fight back. |
