Fox news had interviewed me on the topic, and I am glad they were able to
show a few clips on Sunday.

I
have urged the organizers of the ad campaign not to place the subway ad and I
pray for the safety of passengers in the New York Subway.

This was the gist of my interview;
First
of all I strongly believe in the first amendment and freedom of speech, a foundation
of civil societies. Indeed, I will defend every one’s right to free speech
however ugly it may be. It is intended to offend the offendee, and we have a choice
to not be offended.

I
appeal to the common sense of the organizers to resist the temptation to
display the ads. It will do more harm and would become a safety issue to the
City of New York. Someone has to be made responsible for the hurts
those ads may cause.

Should
the city of New York be sued for any hurt that this ad may cause to her
citizens? We need to look to it as shouting fire in crowded room. I pray for
the safety of Passengers in the Subway. What those ruthless brutes did to our Ambassador in Libya does not justify this poster.

It
is dangerous to fellow Americans, particularly Muslim women wearing scarf or
Hijab, Catholic women coming from a Church, Sikh Women, Hindu women with part
of the Saree covering their head, the Non-Muslim women from Africa donning
their cultural headdress.

It has happened before, the nut case like the one who beat up the Jewish kids in subway three years ago
for saying Happy Hanukkah, the nut case who went on a rampage at Sikh Temple in
Wisconsin, and he loony who opened the gun in Norway. If a nut case sees the Jihadi ad in the subway, and sees a woman next to it, be it a Muslim,
Sikh, Catholic, Hindu or other, he is tempted to hurt that woman, the woman can
scream that she is not a Muslim; do the nut know any difference? What if she is
a Muslim?

Pamela
Geller and I have known each other since May of 2010 when she initiated the
attack on Ground Zero Mosque, she and I have battled on that issue for a long time on Hannity.

This ad is supposed to support Israel; does Pamela Geller really support
Israel? She is for her own self; she is like the Bernie Madoff guy who
was for himself. There is nothing wrong with it for acting in the self interest, she has every right to do that. But maligning Israel and Judaism with her hate is perhaps not authorized by the Jewish Federation of New York, just as those bad guys in Libya were not authorized by Libyans.
I
am waiting for the Jewish Federation to tell her that she is wrong, in fact the
Rabbis had asked her once to back off from her attack on how animals were
slaughtered per the Sharia, she called it cruelty to animals for the Halal slaughter. Being Jewish, she knew Kosher meat was processed exactly same way as Halal. She probably believed that Americans would never fact check and made her day. I hope the New Yorkers don’t fall for this trap to hate Muslims
in the innuendo ads.
