Comments on: New York City’s Metropolitan Transit Authority to Run an Anti-Islam Ad Campaign it Finds ‘Demeaning’ http://www.theworld.org/2012/09/new-york-citys-metropolitan-transit-authority-to-run-an-anti-islam-ad-campaign-it-finds-demeaning/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=new-york-citys-metropolitan-transit-authority-to-run-an-anti-islam-ad-campaign-it-finds-demeaning Global Perspectives for an American Audience Tue, 12 Feb 2013 14:49:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Steve http://www.theworld.org/2012/09/new-york-citys-metropolitan-transit-authority-to-run-an-anti-islam-ad-campaign-it-finds-demeaning/comment-page-1/#comment-25953 Steve Mon, 24 Sep 2012 17:22:00 +0000 http://www.theworld.org/?p=138606#comment-25953 Interesting that the title of the article is misleading. Nowhere on the subject advertisement is the word "Islam" used. I also find it disturbing both the interviewer and the first commenter are more interested in apologizing to and appeasing terrorists rather than calling them what they are. Apparently it's okay for atheists to disavow the existence of a Christian God publicly on a subway station poster, but it's not okay to express non-support for terrorists that conduct a jihad against Israel? This is much like the reaction of both the overall media and our "Leadership" in Washington to recent events in Libya; blame it on the film maker and apologize to the middle east. This is essentially saying; if someone offends you with a cartoon or a YouTube video, it's okay to go out and riot and kill people... A so-called modern "artist" once placed a crucifix in a bucket of urine and called it modern art. It was severely disrespectful to all of Christianity, yet nowhere in the world did you see Christian going out rioting and killing and burning.

An awful accelerating synergy is in play between the Christian, Jewish and Muslims extremists to provoke worse and worse relations between the faiths with the goal of drawing everyone into the extremes of war. I firmly believe that people of goodwill need to resist and work past the dangerously ugly stereotypes being promulgated in the name of some false 'purity'. Good luck to us all.
