GELLER AFDI WINS YET ANOTHER ROUND IN FREE SPEECH BRAWL WITH IGNORAMUSES AND ISLAMO SUBTERFUGE PEDALLERS…….

Pamela Geller, the president of the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), won a major victory on Tuesday. U.S. District Judge John Koeltl ruled that New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) must allow AFDI’s new ad that quotes Hamas TV saying “Killing Jews is Worship that draws us close to Allah” to run on its subway cars and buses.

The image accompanying the Hamas quote depicts a young man wearing a checkered headscarf over a statement reading, “That’s His Jihad. What’s yours?” A disclaimer at the bottom states that the ad is “a paid advertisement sponsored by” AFDI and “does not imply MTA’s endorsement.”

Geller tweeted triumphantly, “Congrats! This is a triumph for liberty and free speech.” AFDI promised on its website, “With our NY win, our ads will make their debut on New York buses in the coming weeks. We want to run 100. Help us make that happen.”

MTA Security Director Raymond Diaz had argued that the MTA should eschew running the ads because they might trigger violence against Jews, writing, “What matters is not AFDI’s intent, but how the ad would be interpreted,” he wrote. He added that because the ad asked, “What is yours?” the ad could be interpreted as a “call to violence,” because it mocked ads run by the Muslim group CAIR, which never ran on the MTA in New York, but did appear in several cities across the nation.

AFDI responded to Diaz by asserting that its posters had not catalyzed any violence in Chicago and San Francisco, prompting Diaz to postulate that New York had a different history, as it was “the prime terror target” and that the “terrorist security threat” had increased since 2013.
