http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,387701,00.htmlIn a propaganda campaign known as the "Subway Project," pro-Islam ads will be flooding around 1,000 New York City subway cars in September.
A Muslim group called the Islamic Circle of North America and a radical Brooklyn imam, named
Siraj Wahhaj, payed $48,000 to run these ads.
The
MTA apparently looked into the people behind these ads and found no objection.
Unfortunately, the
MTA didn't look closely enough into the backgrounds, especially of
Siraj Wahhaj.
Wahhaj was thought by many (although
undicted and
unconvicted) of helping the terrorists execute the 1993
WTC bombings. He was listed as an
undicted co-conspirator by Mary Jo White, U.S. Attorney prosecuting the case.
He has testified in support of known terrorist, the "blind sheik" Omar Abdel-Rahman.
Rahman is serving a life sentence for his role in masterminding the 1993
WTC plot.
He has referred to the FBI and CIA as the "real terrorists."In a sermon he made the following remarks once:"In time, this so-called democracy will crumble, and there will be nothing, and the only thing that will remain will be Islam."This background should have concerned the
MTA. They should have been especially sensitive to the fact that New Yorkers were victims of the biggest terrorist attack on American soil.
As concerned citizens we need to find out two things.
1) What's the going rate for subway ads on 1,000 subway cars? $48,000 by my calculations seems kind of cheap. Are there any readers with this kind of knowledge that can opine?
2) Does the Islamic Circle of North America or
Siraj Wahhaj have any connections to the
MTA? This wouldn't surprise me.
Here is the
youtube video by the Islamic Circle explaining their new propaganda campaign.

The advertisements that Mayor Bloomberg and the MTA don't have the political courage to stop.
