After the Council on American-Islamic Relations complained the terrorist posters feature too many Muslims, including three Muslim Americans, the administration agreed to remove them from buses and other venues across the country.
The "Faces of Global Terrorism" ad campaign includes photos of 16 of the deadliest terrorists in the world, and offers a $25 million reward for information leading to their capture.
CAIR — which has distributed its own posters advising Muslims to slam the door shut on FBI agents looking for terrorists — whined that the campaign could lead to "hate crimes" against Muslims, though the group has cried wolf about such attacks in the past.
Still, the administration backed down, proving once again it's more concerned with appeasing Islamists than protecting U.S. citizens. Some 46 bus ads running in Seattle, where the campaign kicked off, will come down over the next few weeks, reducing the chance the terrorists will be caught.
The move comes just a few weeks after the Justice Department launched a campaign threatening residents outside Nashville, Tenn., and other cities in the South against saying anything blasphemous about Islam. Justice officials warned some anti-Muslim statements could be prosecuted as "hate crimes." » | Monday, July 01, 2013
