Leaving Islam

An Islamic pressure group calls the top ad "anti-Islamic bigotry." But they're not criticizing the bottom ad as anti Judaeo-Christian bigotry.

Transit Authority Avoids Lawsuits, Allows Ads Reaching Disatisfied Muslims

by Patrick Goodenough, CNSNews

MIAMI, FL - A public transit authority in Florida has reversed a decision to take down banner advertisements on buses that offer help to Muslims wanting to leave their faith. Activists are hailing the move as a victory for free speech and religious freedom.
 
Not only will the ten originally planned ads appear on Miami-Dade Transit buses in coming days, but an additional 20 ads will be run at no extra cost.

The decision came after the group initiating the ad campaign threatened a lawsuit, claiming breach of contract and violation of First Amendment rights. The bus company pulled the ads last week less than 48 hours after they had gone up, after a controversial Islamic pressure group complained that they promoted “anti-Islam bigotry.”
