Allah board!

An Islamic group plans to blitz 1,000 subway cars with advertisements this September in a campaign being promoted by a Brooklyn imam whom federal officials have linked to a plot to blow up city landmarks.

The group says its mission is to explain the true nature of Islam to non-Muslims who believe the religion is bent on acts of violence - but Siraj Wahhaj, the inflammatory imam who appears in a promotional YouTube video for the project, has defended convicted bomb-plotters and called the FBI and CIA the "real terrorists."

So this man, who is an un-indicted co-conspirator in the 1993 WTC bombing, wants to tell us how peaceful Islam is.

He also has a YouTube video out,which I will post the link to.

Metro transit operates at least partially on tax dollars in almost every major US city I can think of. Separation of church and state should mean no Muslim themed advertisements permitted. I have never been to New York, but I would guess there are no trains running around with "Q: Jesus Christ? A: Our Redeemer." on them. At least there shouldn't be as tax dollars are being used to keep the trains running.

Hmm, I think it's good that they're trying to fight the stereotype, but perhaps Wahhaj wasn't the best man to do it!

Also as burdman said I don't think the subway is the place to advertise religion. Could make people comfortable to have to look at adverts for a religion they don't believe in every day.
