"The American Freedom Defense Initiative, an advocacy group that warns against the Islamization of America, submitted advertisements for the New York City subway and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority system. The proposed advertisement reads: “In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man,” with the tagline: “Support Israel/Defeat Jihad.”
Both transit providers deemed the ads incendiary, but after a delay and a court decision the ads are up in New York. On Thursday, an injunction hearing will determine if the same posters will come to the nation’s second-busiest subway system, too.
WMATA initially agreed to schedule a run of the advertisements in four stations beginning Sept. 24, but attacks on U.S. diplomatic posts, including the killing of Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens, the first fatal attack on a U.S. ambassador since 1979, caused the agency to “re-evaluate” and conclude the timing of the provocative ads would “expose passengers to terrorism and threaten their safety,” according to court documents filed in advance of the hearing that were reviewed by POLITICO.
