Anti-Muslim Ad Campaign Cancelled in New York City & San Francisco
Geller's new ad campaign targeting Islam and relating it to “ISIL” terrorism by featuring a still from American journalist James Foley was scheduled to begin on the morning of Monday, Sept. 29 on MTA buses and in subway stations. However, Foley's parents denounced the ad as bigoted towards the Muslim community and asked her to pull it from their campaign.
In response, Geller's lawyer David Yerushalmi released a letter announcing that the ad will no longer run.
However, the attorney confirmed that other anti-Islamic ads will go forward.
The $100,000 ads were paid for by Geller's group, the American Freedom Defense Initiative, which claims to defend human rights and expose the truths about Islam's ties to Jihad, which it claims mainstream media ignores.
