Reporter nydia, thats right it did lose the fight to ban the ads but Community Leaders are banding together to launch a campaign in response to these antiislamic messages called dare to understand. Mayor Michael Nutter and other religious and Community Leaders held a rally yesterday to encourage septa riders and anyone offended by the ads to channel their frustration constructively and not resort to violence. The American FreedomDefense Initiative purchased the ads which cost around 30,000. The ads depict a photo from the 19 40s of adolf hitler talking to a Palestinian Leader and the text reads islamicjew hatred its in the koran. Community leaders critical of the ad say the Organization Behind them is hiding behind free speech to spread hate. This is the opposite of what our religion stands for and therefore you should conduct yourself in a dignified and respectable manner and continue to do what it is that youre supposed to do and that is to be a model citizen. While we treasure and fight for the right of free speech we decry those who want to use the sacred privilege to insight hatred and prejudice. We can do better. We in philadelphia want to construct bridges of understanding. Now the ads will run for four weeks on 84 septa buses. Again, septa lost a court ruling to prevent the ads from running but has since proposed stricter guidelines to prohibit such ads in the future. Back to you.
