And if the posters were about Christianity instead ?

I'd like to see some anti-Christian adds go up on buses!

How long do you think it would take the Christian Right to freak out hmm?

Bah! The endless hypocrisy of the Political Right makes me sick.

I would love to see an ad campaign pairing the violent statements of hatemongering pastors and imams side by side -- along with statements of "peace-mongering," inclusive pastors and imams also side by side.

The message: you find people on both sides spreading fear and hatred -- as well as people on both sides promoting peace and acceptance. One's religion makes no difference. One's words and actions make all the difference. "And you shall know them by their works."

How do we get this message across? "Recognize fear and hatred for the lethal poisons they are, and shun anyone -- repeat, anyone -- who spreads the poisons. Turn the radio dial. Switch TV stations. Close the website window. Don't take these toxics into your body and mind. Seek out people who build bridges, promote understanding and reject hatred as an acceptable way of life."

Let the marketing geniuses of mainstream advertising figure it out: how to simply make it unacceptable to spread poison.

It's an achievable goal to make it unacceptable -- not illegal, just socially unacceptable -- to spread fear and hatred. . .just as today it's unacceptable to smoke cigarettes in places frequented by nonsmokers.

An easy job, this messaging? No. Vital to the inclusive America we knew and loved, if only as a shared ideal? Absolutely.

Where are the companies who will step up to the plate with mainstream media funding to quell hatemongers of all stripes by diminishing the audience willing to listen to their lethal rubbish?

Any teabag connections here? The campaign will, no doubt, accomplish its objective: to intensify the religious bigotry of the ignorant. Accomplishing their public objective of getting Muslims to leave their faith is laughable and ridiculous. If there is any substance to actual belief in the group responsible, for this campaign to actual gain converts from Islam to Christianity, it is indicative of a state of extremely unfortunate, deeply degraded intelligence and civilization.

Fewer will leave than the number of desperate and suggestible people joining.
A campaign to denigrate a religious faith will only piss off and militarize the persecuted.
It is an old story. We have heard it a thousand times before. I got so tired of its general irrationality and silliness that I threw it all away.
No god..no problem.
The human race will not be free until the last king is strangled by the entrails of the last priest.

I'll bet more people have died under "Christian" beliefs than under Hitler or Muslims.

I urge everyone to read the work of Algerian novelist Yasima Khadra. Algeria, he argues, is the victim of both corrupt governance and child-killing Muslim extremists. If it wasn't that there is a real country called Algeria, I'd of thought his novels parables of life in the USA.

Wouldn't cite the "Founders" as examples of religious freedom until you read the statutes they put in place.

They did NOT head for the New World seeking religious FREEDOM, in which they emphatically didn't believe; they merely wanted to be the persecutORS rather than the persecutEES.

Kinda like today's "Christian Conservatives" -

The harboring of negative feelings towards a group never proved culpable is truly idiotic. Had we had a real 911 investigation, we would find that Muslims are less culpable of 9-11 than Israelis and Christians in the Bush administration. We inhabit a kabuki theater put on by a deceitful government coupled with the propaganda arm of the media.

I just tell any one try to make Islam dissapear
that :
Islam will dominate the world , because the Islam
it's the religion of peace ,
who makes 9 , 11 not Muslims i know This concert

Thanks To Everyone

I'll ante up to share the cost of a poster promoting no religions!

"Muslims have only themselves to blame. Before they started ramping up their terrorist attacks culminating in 9-11, I never thought much about Islam and Muslims, let alone harbored such negative feelings toward them. And I'm sure that many Americans went through the same change."

@Rick Levy - So it would be understandable that after the attacks on the Oklahoma City building and the Waco compound, all Christians are to be held responsible for those terrorist incidents?
Or after the response to the Mavi Marmara, all Jews are Mossad thugs?

If you allow the actions of a few extremists to taint your views of millions of people, you are being narrow-minded. When any group becomes 'they', it is the person describing them that has the problem...

Those who have enjoyed unearned privilege from a society in which their cultural values and understandings are dominant often react vehemently when such unearned privilege is drawn into question. At a very basic level, this is one more manifestation of modern Know-Nothingism. At another level, this response suggests what is increasingly apparent to many observers: an unreflective Christianity is losing its ability to simply assume the loyalty of many in the west. When called to justify itself vis-à-vis challengers, it responds with caricature of the other.
 
It is no more intellectually honest to assess the traditions of Islam by its worse case scenarios than it is to reduce 2000 years of Christian tradition and practice to the Inquisition of the middle ages or its modern fundamentalist crusaders like Eric Rudolph, the Atlanta Olympics bomber. That, however, does presume a concern for intellectual honesty.  Sadly, in my observation, that is increasingly rarely a value for those who presume to speak for religious traditions of any stripe.
 

this geller chick is one intolerant bitch!
i mean really!? how hypocritical is an anti islam ad for the sake of religious freedom!?
