Brotherhood Interfaith Partners Pounce on Anti-Jihad Subway Ads

Interfaith allies of the Muslim Brotherhood legacy groups in the U.S. are now jumping into the controversy over the pro-Israel, anti-jihad advertisements in New York City subways. Their outcry is not a spontaneous reaction to "hate speech." It is part of an organized pushback against critics of the Muslim Brotherhood affiliates, adopting "Islamophobia" as their line of attack.

The ads merely state, "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad." The premise is simple and true: Israel is civilized and is targeted by jihadist savages. All the ads do is acknowledge that there is a jihad. It did not assert or imply that all or most Muslims are part of this jihad or that the jihad is legitimate according to Islam.

Nonetheless, the ads were accused of branding all Muslims as terrorists. Linda Sarsour, the executive director of the Arab American Association of New York, said, "You are talking about people like me being called a ‘savage.’” Interfaith groups eager to show off their bona fides sprung into action, nonetheless.

It is not an exaggeration to say these interfaith groups are part of a coalition friendly to the Muslim Brotherhood-originated groups in the U.S. and their agenda. On March 13, the group Shoulder-to-Shoulder published a letter to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg expressing its outrage against the New York Police Department's showing of The Third Jihad, a documentary that exposes the Brotherhood origins of groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). The signatories blasted it as "bigoted" even though it is narrated by a devout Muslim, Dr. Zuhdi Jasser. The President of ISNA is a member of Shoulder-to-Shoulder's Executive Committee.
